New Japan Pro-Wrestling General Discussion Thread

^same. I'll always go for the Japanese commentary version first. But I have no problem tuning into the JR version afterwards. I could be completely wrong about him not being able to keep up after all.


Trailer is good too

That seems like the general consensus, watching it in the original version, then re-watching with Ross' commentary.

I think it's a great move to add JR. If they want to get to the American market, I guess English commentary is a must and there is no one better than JR. I'm torn on which version to watch, honestly. I'm a big JR mark but Japanese commentators are awesome even when you have no idea what they're saying.

Stop, since this is related, is GFW gonna be just an NWA type association thing or are they eventually going to be an actual fed?

I have zero idea.

I doubt even Jarrett knows.

NWA is a governing body of promotions, GFW is a promotion in its self. So no they aren't gonna be like the NWA.

Well, that's the exact doubt I had. I heard somewhere (maybe posts here, can't recall) that GFW was just going to be sort of a conglomeration of promotions ala New Japan and AAA and not hold any shows of their own, thus being NWA-like. Thanks.

No problem.

Except GFW isn't a promotion at all.
At the moment they are a production company at best

YoshiTatsu is out of the tag league due to neck problems. Guess he wasn't all clear after the Styles Clash after all.
