If only ADownloader still worked for NJ World without immediately crashing

Sydal joining the Rabbit Tribe is best for fukkery

If anyone knows a new way to download from NJ World, let me know. ADownloader used to work perfectly, but now it crashes when trying to get from NJPWW. None of the normal flash grabbers work anymore, either. There were a few 1/4 matches that weren't released for whatever reason when I was downloading them last year.

Meltzer starts to praise the fact all January 4 shows are free and then proceeds to bury most of the matches

Well, up until a few years, most Dome shows rarely had "classic" matches. Most have 1-2 good, entertaining bouts but having legit MOTYC was always the exception, not the rule.

That's classic Meltz though, double talking until the end

Nakamura/Ibushi at WK obviously is but the G1 matchup also holds it's own. Went back and re-watched it again today. Great match with a hot Osaka crowd

ESSENTIAL DOME MATCHES Part 1. This is from 2000 as Ogawa the badass shooter outsider faces off once again with NJPW's perennial Elvis lookalike ace. Awesome heat, brutality, sooooo much hate and an all round fantastic Dome spectacle.

NJPW World's rights stuff is so weird to me.

Footage of WWF guys? Check
Footage of NJ matches on actual WWF shows in America? Check
Footage of Vince McMahon himself doing Hulk Hogan's intros in Japan while Hogan was WWF champ? Check
Footage of WCW/NJ cross promotion matches? Check
Footage of Brock Lesnar?
Footage of TNA (which makes up 60% of WK for 3 years in a row)?




Never mind things like Frye/Ogawa missing from 1998, or the Choshu series from 1998 not being uploaded for a year after the rest of the matches. Offer all the 1/4 shows for free, yet don't have the complete shows for all of them?

 

[Jmare007]

Have they uploaded the 87' classic between Fujiwara and Choshu? I remember being shocked they didn't have it a while ago.

Nakanishi vs Fujita in the opener to the 1999 dome show. Expecting the normal bland opening affair. Got proto BJW Strong style.

Just two strong ass dudes seeing who can hit, squeeze, or throw the hardest for 10 minutes.

Last weekend he did a write-up about the indies being at their best ever and then did a write-up about the Reseda crowd lacking their usual magic at Mystery Vortex.

He's getting really close to Rick James status
