New Japan Pro-Wrestling General Discussion Thread

[Jeffry Mason]

We don't necessarily need spoilers and you won't get in trouble for not using them. I was just trying to be polite to anyone who might have yet to watch it :emoji_slight_smile:

And Yeah, I think I am closer to agreeing with you about what I want to win.

Cool. Was too lazy to check OP. Figured people are smart enough not to come in here if they haven't seen it yet, since there aren't any spoilers in the title.

And cool. It's much better to be tranquilo than...terminated? Idk. For me, I feel more invested in a match when I want one person to win, so when I'm torn, it's more like "I'm happy either way" so I usually don't care as much. Everyone enjoys wrestling differently though, so do whatever you gotta do to maximize the enjoyment of the match for ya

Spoiler: Destino

¡TRANQUILO, ASSEN NA YO!. Omega swept up the Rainmaker so he's guaranteed a title match right? Either way those two will probably meet again sooner than later regardless and I'm a Naito mark, I want to see him get that WK main event spot it's his Destino bby.

Sometimes I don't know who I am rooting for until the match gets going and I see how I react to the near falls. Back in the day, I always rooted for Ric Flair and Roddy Piper. There are a couple other guys I always root for, and Okada is one of them. Omega and Naito... I just don't know. I really won't know until the match who I prefer. But I think it'll be Naito.

 

[Jeffry Mason]

Don't know whether to be super excited or super nervous right now...

 

[seabs]

Such a great moment when this return happened, not sure if posted elsewhere.

That was a great moment. I had friends in attendance and they described it as electric

 

[Geese]

This comes late but the G1 Special Finals pitting Kenny Omega against Tomohiro Ishii was a great match! Hard hitting all the way. It's good to see Omega, who has worked so hard to get to the top, finally receive his just rewards.

 

[Leo C]

So, for the fellas who have NJPW World... is it possible to actually search for an old match, say, Tanahashi vs Okada and get anything or is their search system just rotten and I have to go through one man's entire match listing to find it?

The only thing I have ever tried searching was for Onita matches, which I believe there are only like 5 or 6. So yeah, it works, but it's also kind of trash at the same time. The one thing I did to make it a little more reliable was to put the date or the opponent, but that wouldn't really help you much if you're looking for more than just one specific match. Just play around with it. It's like Google, you have to know how to phrase your search in order to get the results you're looking for. Hope that helped. Good luck

I see. Yeah, I was thinking that was likely going to be the case which sadly isn't a surprise given the fact they can barely provide a fucking proper English interface, I was just confirming that I wasn't missing some wacky trick or something. Thanks.

i believe searching both wrestlers give you their matches (haven't been on njpworld for a while, so dont know for sure)

Since the G1?...Juice Vs. Omega for the IWGP US championship was pretty good.

It's Juice, of course it was good. He could carry anyone to an awesome match.

Also, cuz I haven't been paying attention either, what's Ropongi 3K?
