Just watching KENTA/Maru now.


KENTA rocking a "HARD IN THE PAINT" shirt.

Dude is huge on hip hop. Used Art & Life and What You Know as theme songs.

And he absolutely HAS to be the person who named Maybach Tanguchi.

Never thought id say this about a japanese worker but KENTA is a real nikka. REAL

NOAH's Global League will take place from 11/3 to 11/23. No shows booked in big buildings, Korakuen Hall will host the first and last date.

Naito wrestled today with his knee heavily taped, so his injury wasn't as bad as previously reported. Don't like him working hurt though, he should take some time off and come back for the Dome show.

Naito really is the second coming of Mutoh, isn't he...

Please be smarter than that, Naito.

 

[Honga Ciganesta]

Odd they're putting Naito out there like that

Also Okada and his MITB:

Dude got the douche look down

Akiyama/Funaki was taken down from DM:



Such a good match for the time they had.

Any recent New Japan PPV will be worth checking out. Dominion is probably the strongest show they've done this year, but you can't really go wrong with any of them.

Either of these would be good if you're just looking to watch something on Youtube:

The most essential stuff in the history of Japanese wrestling would be golden age AJPW, but rather than trying to track down complete shows I'd recommend watching the classic matches individually.

A few to start off with:
