So, uh...Oka's new gimmick is "The Great O-Khan"
This might work, but the young lions always had stupid gimmicks during excursions.

This is that shyt right hereHideki Suzuki vs Takuya Nomura - Big Japan Strong Heavyweight title 6/20/18
Hideki Suzuki (c) vs. Takuya Nomura
Nomura is TWENTY fukkING FOUR YEARS OLD, and he sold out Korakuen Hall in his first title challenge. This is another "Bati Bati meets Strong BJ" type match the young kid has had this year - the other one being the MOTYC against Abe, who is at ring side supporting the prodigy - and what's most impressive is that, in a promotion that has deathmatch wrestling as (at the very least) half of it's main attraction, the crowd KNOWS what match they are gonna get. Every hold might be the finish, and every strike counts. Takuya had a sold out Korakuen goingas he, the 24 year old punk, made Hideki Suzuki, the most dominant wrestler the promotion has had in the last two years, look beatable
the ending might be a little underwhelming but I thought it was fukking genius, not gonna spoil it though.
@Scottie Drippin @trick @Ace of the Metropolitan @3Rivers @SubZeroDegrees @The Rainmaker @TrueEpic08 @Beautiful Bobby Eatin Nomura's 2018 is fukking insane, this match doesn't have the work or intensity as the Abe one, but it has the stakes, the story and fukking Korakuen...and of course, it just goes 10 minutes
Nomura gotta step his hand strike game up. Hideki paying him back by pulling down his guard and punching him dead in his face on the ground

I also loved how Hideki didn't even give the young kid the purple trunks treatment and wrestled with his normal outfit like it was a fukking sparring session
I wonder if they'll make a team for the tag league in September

idk if i asked you this before but how do you find out matches to watch?Nomura tried his hardest. Had the crowdat the open palm strikes. I liked the ending. A simple, brutal finale to let the youngin know he's not strong enough.....yet
do u use a website that reviews all these matches? or do u just follow every show that certain promotions post?
kinda overwhelmed with keeping up with modern wrestling so thats why i ask

The fat lesbian got facial hair
I thought Morishima would be smaller.
Other news, Nomura and Aoyagi are running it back with the Grumpy Uncles on the 29th.
Mad I can't find their first match at Korakuen.

Just watched the AXS version of Omega Okada 4. JR and Barnett did the best job on commentary of the 3 sources,by far

Jay White vs Juice Robinson - US Title match NJPW G1 Special 7/7/18
Hey look at that, Jay White wasn't dead after all. Juice's babyface performance was dope as fukk, dude was money with his facial expressions, selling and timing for every hope spot and comeback he had, that shyt ain't easy to do and he's got it down pat
. White did his thing too though, specially with the timing of the cut off spots - either by taking advantage every time Robinson pumped himself up and/or pandered to the crowd or just not letting Juice get momentum after an initial comeback attempt - and his heel work, I specially liked him mocking Juice and doing his jabs. This didn't feel like your typical "let's trade shyt/your turn my turn" match that most New Japan matches end up being after the first 1/4 or 1/3 of the action, and I appreciated that greatly. This had very little excess - I could've lived without a couple of the suplex/bumps on the outside they did, and Juice's fighting spirit spot bombed, but that's just nitpicking - and just 1 nearfall (that was pretty fukking great) and that's right up my alley. Top notch stuff, I wish they had a better crowd to call it a top 5 match of the year but whatever, it's still pretty damn awesome.PS: Jim Ross is beyond horrible as play by play and Barnett brings nothing to the table as a color guy, I was kinda pissed I wasn't able to find a link with Japanese commentary

I couldn't get into this match. Jay White is hollow to me, and Juice is a solid talent, but not my cup of tea.
