Steiner > Okada + Nakamura + Tanahashi + your beliefs.

Update: Taguchi is apparently not filling in for Yoshi in the league. Tana and Yoshi are instead forfeiting all their matches. Tana will be doing multiman matches instead.

Always great to see Steiner. I'd mark soooo hard if he was in any way involved.

I highly recommend KES vs. Suzuki & Lizuka from Day 1, awesome brawl.

Also, New Japan coming on American TV:



EDIT: Apparently 13 episodes with matches from 2013 will be broadcasted, with Mauro Ranallo and Josh Barnett on commentary.

I read that the content will be from 2013, so wouldn't that be G123?

Also the commentary will be by Mauro Ranallo and Josh Barnett

Day 2 was a great event, standout matches:

8-man opening tag
Nagata & Nakanishi vs. GBH
KES vs. Chaos Invincible
Okada & Y-H vs. Taven & the guy who bangs Maria

In case you wondered:

Some notes on rents of the major buildings. It cost about $167,000 to rent the Tokyo Dome, $50,000 to rent Budokan Hall, $55,000 to rent the Yokohama Arena, $62,000 to rent the
Seibu Dome, $63,000 to rent the Saitama Super Arena, $35,000 to rent Sumo Hall and $10,000 to rent Korakuen Hall.

Meltzer.

No wonder why everyone and their mothers run Korakuen. Tokyo Dome sounds surprisingly cheap, you don't have to draw super big numbers to make money there, I guess.

NJPW World is a fucking steal. £5 a month at the current exchange rate and I get to watch Gotch matches? I'm in

 

[Bort]

I'm reluctant right now due to the total lack of English.
