What's your favorite promotion right now

[Jmare007]

New Japan, All Japan, PWG, Dragon Gate and ROH. We need some Big Japan knowledge in here because I haven't watched in years. All I know is Abdullah Kobayashi is a champ there still but is my nikka Jaki still there?

Jaki still there, he's awful though. The only times he's worth a damn this days if when he's tagging with Kasai and wrestling guys like Sekimoto, Yoshihito Sasaki or Yuji Okabayashi.

From 2008 onwards the "Strong Big Japan" division (guys who don't do deathmatches) has taken a bigger role in the company and consistently put on great matches. They give you fun and stiff multi-man tags that don't go longer than 10-13 minutes, and like once a month they will put on a great 20 minute tag match.

Since last year, Daisuke Sekimoto and Yuji Okabayashi have been on a interpromotional feud with All Japan (they are the 2 time and current All Asia Tag Team champions) and have put on countless of fun to awesome matches.

PS: I think I've already talk to you about this

It has changed quite a bit.

It varies from show to show. There are times were there's like 4 or 5 deathmatches in a show, but that's the exception. The non-hardcore division (Strong Big Japan) is a huge part of the company right now. Every show you can count on at least a fun 10-12 minutes multi man match between promising rookies and established veterans and every big event has 2 or 3 very good non-deathmatch action.

Guys like Daisuke Sekimoto (the head of the training school), Yoshihito Sasaki, Yuji Okabayashi, Kazuki Hashimoto and Shinobu are the highlight of every show.

Since last year they are in an interpromotional feud with All Japan that has consistently delivered good to great matches.

ROH has some bright spots.

Steen has been tremendous so far. Adam Cole becoming a star the hard way. Charlie Haas running out of fukks to give. ANX rising to the top. I even was getting into the Chikara feud before they i guess "ended" it?

check this PUROLOVE.com

Every Korakuen Hall show is televised, and all the events that have (SamuraiTV!) in it are taped too.

Just search in youtube and dailymotion any match you want to see and you'll probably get it.

Torrents are the best way to get entire shows (xtremewrestlingtorrents and worldwrestlingtorrents are the best for recent stuff).

wrestlingforum has a media section were you can find complete shows too

For the most part, I just watch matches/shows that look good on paper or are getting good reviews.

I don't usually waste my time watching RAW and stuff like that, because I know going in that I'm not gonna enjoy it.

It's not that hard to be honest.

I don't watch TNA, and barely check what's going on in SD! via youtube if the spoilers are interesting.

Promotions like PWG and Big Japan put on shows once a month (in Big Japan's case, they have a lot of small "house shows" and 1 or 2 televised events each tour). So they aren't a chore to keep up with. All Japan also has 2 or 3 shows that are worth watching every tour.

With New Japan you have to be more informed to know which shows are worth it and which ones aren't. IMO, the BOSJ and G-1 Climax tournaments, along with every PPV they have is a must watch. Even though they don't always deliver big, you are gonna find at least 1 match that is a MOTYC or borderline.

With the death of megaupload, torrents and youtube/dailymotion are the best source for International wrestling. Everything worth a look is there. The thing is, you don't have to watch EVERYTHING. In puroresu's case, every card (most of the time) has at most 3-4 matches that could deliver so you don't need to sit through the whole 3 hours of every show.

When ya'll put it like that, it makes me want to peep some international/indy piff. Respect.

I remember downloadin' a Davey Richards match against this ill dude named Shingo from a Dragon Gate show a year or two ago. Tore the fukkin' house down

This.

I have trouble watching smackdown

SmackDown > Raw

Ive bin enjoying TNA a lot lately

 

[AKM-95]

TNA - WWE has been boring since Extreme Rules. The recent mini push of Austin Aries, Bound for glory series, X-div tourney, and Gut Check has made for interesting TV for the last few months.

real talk breh.

I could care less about the heavy scrutiny that james e has caught since he has taken over. I still like Ring Of Honor for simply putting on shows that embody W R E S T L I N G.

I believe now more than ever that ROH nikkas are the most well prepared dudes to transition from the indy's to a top company.

I want to try and get into other indy or international shyt but for me it's a time issue.

coke boy takes up 4 hours of my tv time a week
dixie snatches up 2

that shyt is enough wrestling in a week for me and coming up raw is gonnah be 3 hrs so fukk hahahah

it's hard out here to really get on other shyt heavy

but immah try

Yeah i think they do ok with what they have. The big indy heads ive noticed are Wolf, You, R=G, TrueEpic, Jmare, Last Emp and a few others and we (except LastEmp) enjoy ROH to a significant degree. Ill enjoy it for what it is. I miss the 05-08 run but every indy declines at some point imo. Look at how far JAPW or ECWA has fallen.
