RealHero has the Big Japan Korakuen Hall show from May 25th on his Google Drive. Single links in rutube should be upped shortly :blessed:

Strong BJ vs Ryota Hama & Yasufumi Nakanoue - BJW Tag Title match

Fun tag match made really fukking good thanks to the Korakuen crowd. For a filler title defense this had lots of good stuff. I love how Yuji and Daisuke always bring the best out of Hama, that big fat ball of lard is fun as fukking to watch when paired against those two, this wasn't the exception. Not a MOTYC but a good way to spend 16 minutes watching fun puro.

Hideki Suzuki (c) vs Hideyoshi Kamitani - BJW Strong Heavyweight Title match


Loved this from the minute the bell started. Kamitani knows Suzuki loves to out smart his opponents so he immediately goes on the offensive and attacks the champ full speed and does not let up until he gains control. The only way Hideki, the master of escaping holds, can get the upperhand is using brute force. I don't know if that was intentional but it was an outstanding way of showing this was NOT the same type of match Suzuki was able to have against Sekimoto and Okabayashi. This was very much a "young guy vs champ" type of match with Kamitani using his speed and intensity to avoid Hideki's superior ability, and Suzuki having to weather the storm and pick his spots to inflict damage. Finish was unexpected but pretty awesome. Just like above, not a MOTYC but a very compelling and entertaining watch :obama:

Considering all the stuff @stro bytches about in current wrestling, I'm pretty sure Suzuki would be his favorite wrestler if he stopped watching shyt he hates and took the time to see his run in Big Japan this year.

How do you guys watch Japanese Wrestling? I want to get into it, but where does a breh go?

NJPW World but for those who don't have it you can find links to watch it online a few hours after the event ends. For me, I can never stay up to watch the events so I just watch everything in the morning. Sites like allwrestling and watchwrestling are great sources for links. Vk.com is a great place for current Japanese wrestling as well as old school Japanese matches. You just have to create a free account. Also parts of it are in Russian but I didn't have any problems navigating the website.

Nagata will have his last G-1 this year



After what they did with Liger in the BOSJ and Tenzan last year, I wont get my hopes up for a decent storyline. But it sucks that Choshu is the only legend that got a dope sending off story in the G1. Things have changed now with the winner getting the Dome show title match, but a good run lasting till the last day would be fun imo :yeshrug:

Koalabama and the Cosmos
Nagata/Nakajima was probably one of the best matches out of the G1 and of last year in general. I know dude will have some memorable moments this year, but we shall see.

I wonder whose going to be the winner this year:lupe:

Probably Big Money Fale:ohlawd:

Aight brehs, we getting closer to Puro's biggest and hottest period of the year. Big Japan, All Japan, DDT and New Japan all have big Sumo Hall shows in July-August and so far we already have a couple of news....

Big Japan:

~ It was announced that Yuko Miyamoto and Isami Kodaka will be taking on the team of Abdullah Kobayashi and Ryuji Ito on June 28 to determine the challengers for the BJW Tag belts at the Ryogoku Kokugikan show on July 17.

I wonder who the fukk is gonna challenge Hideki Suzuki at the Sumo Hall show next month. I don't think Strong BJ will lose the belt before the big show so they are out of contention. The only choice I can come up with from in-house is Daichi. Man, watching a Hashimoto headline Sumo Hall once again would have a breh like :to: but he's not gonna draw 1 person to that building and to be honest he's not good enough for that spot yet - I'm kinda disappointed he hasn't taken a leap yet in his performances, maybe this is all he is :francis: - but the thing is they kinda don't have anyone else considering Nomura and Uto are even more green. And Kamitani just got shot his and was soundly beat. This makes me miss Yoshihito Sasaki more than usual. Kawakami is another possible choice and had a "big" return last year but he's even lower in the totem pole than Daichi....I guess they could get an outsider but I have no clue who could it be, Sato? Soya? and having two outsiders headline your biggest show would be really weird for a promotion like Big Japan :patrice:

BTW, I'd be very curious to see Strong BJ vs Abby Jr in 2017 but Miyamoto/Kodaka are the likely winners.

~ Masaya (deathmatch champ) nominated his fellow “Bloody Brothers” tag partner, Takayuki Ueki, to be his challenger at the 7/17 show at the Ryogoku Kokugikan.

:manny:

All Japan:

~ It was formally announced that Yuma Aoyagi will get his rematch against Taichi (Suzuki Gun) at the Ryogoku Kokugikan show on August 27.

:manny:

~ Suwama stepped forward as the next challenger for Ishikawa's Triple Crown title after beating Kento Miyahara in today's show

Makes sense, no point in giving Kento his rematch so soon when he's just gonna lose again. He can do a couple of jobs after his long reign and get back up in the near future to get his belt back.

Update: Suwama is facing Shuji on 7/17 at Korakuen. Maybe Kento gets his remath at Sumo Hall after all :patrice:

Those NJ USA shows look like :russ: outside of literally 2 matches that might be 3 matches over two shows depending on the tournament brackets.

Bunch of multiman tags, Young Bucks vs Rocky Romero and partner part 385, Okada vs CODY RHODES, Tanahashi vs BILLY GUNN :troll:
