I'm already unsubscribing. Who the hell wants to see that shyt?:russ:

NJPW bugging. This time between April and August would be the best time to pounce the American market since WWE stops trying after WM. I cant show anyone a fuccing Bad Luck Fale match, they are gonna be like "this is that Japanese shyt youre always hyping"? :dahell:

Exciting match, but once again Okada eats 30 minutes of offense only to Hulk Up and win in like 5 minutes. Same shyt happened last title defense vs Suzuki in Sapporo.
Yeah, once that started happening I knew the ending we were going to get.

I don't understand how these guys' bodies aren't completely black and bruised after a match.:huhldup:

Running the ropes at full speed for 30 seconds alone will leave the average persons back looking like they got completely battered. That's why I have so much respect for what the wrestlers do night in night out

I watched the last 3 matches only

Zack Diaper Jr put on another entertaining match. Enjoyed it quite a bit.

Kushida getting squashed:wtf:. Crowd was like:gladbron: . This really seemed to serve a major purpose....a new ace in town. Not some guy temporarily holding onto Kushidas belt.

Main event was amazing. Of course the bytching already begins. :snooze:


Someone needs to gif up that demonic camera shot of the blood trickling down Shibatas face and his smirk

I thought the main event was fukking GREAT, specially for how long it went. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the Omega match. They had a very simple story - Okada having to survive the fukking ONSLAUGHT that Shibata had in store for him - and I thought the no selling was forgivable because the damage they took paid off in a lot of important moments of the match. I also loved this didn't have 1 fukking nearfall, just straight action and savagery....and the crowd was right with them every step, there was no need for kickouts :obama: it felt so fresh and compelling for a New Japan main event. I really liked Shibata's demeanor, the dude was on a mission and he was not going to get stopped, and I think they did a great job showing Okada's desperation as he realized he had a fukking savage in front of him.

Now, I think the way they worked the match, the wrong man won. Forget about booking (and this is me saying this :heh:), it had to do with the win not feeling earned at all after what happened. It didn't take away much from the match to me, I still felt very satisfied with what I watched but it did expose a problem I'm starting to have with Okada.

For him to take that much of a beating, I needed more than 3 "weak" Rainmakers and 1 real one for buy Shibata getting beat. I think Okada needs an "equalizer" for his comebacks as every real Ace has had in the past. shyt, even Tanahashi had his weird "attack the leg when everything else fails" thing that made his opponent fall back and start things over. In this case. Kazuchika has The Rainmaker, I get it, but as this match proved you need another tool in your arsenal to stop your opponent and give you a breather. Okada is working very similar matches to Misawa, where he's putting his body on the line and getting a fukking beating before finding ways to survive. But as it has been discussed before, NO ONE can do the slow burn comebacks like Misawa and Okada doesn't have a weapon like the elbow, so these matches feel more like Cena's showcases were he gives everything to his opponent and then just survives thanks to hitting his finishers over and over again.
