Where is this from?

That spot is at the 44 minutes mark of this... match.

Side note, am i the only one who really doesnt want to see any NWA presence in NJPW this year? I mean the CMLL guys kinda push it for me but at least im not bored with it...

The NWA should be dead already. It doesn't serve any purpose, it hasn't in years. I don't want to see them bring stars of the caliber of Rob Conway and Big Daddy Yum Yum no more.

I like the Fantastica Mania shows. That's the only lucha I'll probably see this year, unless there is an important mascara or cabellera match like last year.

Up at 4 am on youtube watching random wrestling & eventually ended up finding Nakamura vs Okada in the finals of G1 last year

I feel like I fukked up not trying to get into this earlier

But now you have 50 years of piff to watch whenever you feel bored with the current product or just want to watch some unadulterated piff

Big Daddy Yum Yum and his selling of Kojima's chops were The. WORST.

I can deal with Conway, i can see his worth but Yum Yum, Mike Tarver, Jax Dane can all

Dave is such a stan when it comes to New Japan

Wrestling-wise, quite possibly. Strict wrestling match-wise. However, as an overall show, it was not better than Wrestlemania 17.

Doesn't make my top 5 and not sure it makes top 10

What's your list breh?

I love Dave but the way he throws things like that out there as if there is no debate to be had can be annoying, like not a doubt, really? It automatically has the dudes who think NJPW is overrated furious and it has the hardcore fans straight on the defensive. Can't really comment as I watched the show off and on over a few days.

Meanwhile:

NOAH started its year off with a bang as on the show earlier today, after Naomichi Marufuji retained the GHC title over Satoshi Kojima, the entire Suzuki-gun group destroyed Marufuji, Mickey Nicholls and Shane Haste.

As noted in the Observer the last few weeks, the idea is to revitalize NOAH this year with Suzuki-gun as the outsiders.

But now you have 50 years of piff to watch whenever you feel bored with the current product or just want to watch some unadulterated piff

I'm always jealous of dudes getting into Puro, I want to watch Misawa/Kawada, Hash/Tenryu and Ishikawa/Ikeda for the first time again

Not sure if dude was trolling, but I read on another board that that show is airing on Saturday mornings. If that's so, then that commercial makes a lot more sense.

What's your list breh?

Don't make me do it breh, too lazy to post it right now tomorrow I'll edit and post it. Off the top of my head I have GAB 89', one or two wCw 92' ppvs, MITB 11', Mania 17, Canadian Stampede, gotta check which ROH shows were on PPV in 07' and 08'.. etc
