Is it weird to anyone else to see Young Lions tagging with Chaos guys? I know there's an alliance but still for the first 3 years or so the Lions still tagged with only unaffiliated guys or old guys.

Probably more a necessity than anything. The roster's pretty thin, and Kojima, Honma, Tenzan, and Tiger Mask are all busy doing other stuff, aren't they?

I did not think this video would have an Ishii 'meetcute' in it. :leon:

New Japan missed the boat by not dropping a romantic comedy based off this called 'Sliding D's'

They traded nasty elbows. The crowd seemed half in support of King, half in support of Ishii. Ishii threw King with a release German suplex off the ropes. He tried taking King out with a number of lariats of his own, but King wouldn’t go down. King went down after a headbutt, then Ishii went for a Sliding D.


I don't make these names up :manny:

I figured one day this would happen, but I’m still surprised to see it
I'm in favor of it

Joshi are better wrestlers than a lot of the women in the states

Low key, a lot of female wrestlers should go over there to train

We seen the difference in the male wrestlers...legends have been made over there

Is this the least talked about g-1 ever of the last 7-10 years
No question. I think 2012 G-1 was the first to get more online talk from westerner fans because Dave spent much of 2011 hyping Tanahashi up as the best wrestler on the planet and then 2012 had the emergence of Okada. By 2013 New Japan had become the new shiny toy for the IWC.
