New Japan Pro-Wrestling General Discussion Thread

Thanks. Really sucks trying to keep up with NJPW. Idk where to watch their shows and such. ;(

If you have the money and you're willing to use google translate it is quite easy to sign up for their subscription service. You get all their shows live and on demand, and an archive that spans back to the 70s.

It's like 8 dollars a month or something like that, and the yen is weak now so it tends to dip even cheaper

Best way to keep up with NJPW is to wake up at 5AM, take a cup of coffee and watch the shows live on taima tv. Nothing else like it

The finals were fun. Naito won, which is awesome. Looking forward to the ME at Invasion Attack.

So, the newest BC member is Camacho? Eh, that's pretty underwhelming. I wish Tonga and Haku were teaming to take on GBH, but oh well.

The Invasion Attack card seems pretty good. Looking forward to it.

NAITO HAS FUCKING GONE OVER!

I just hope Cody Hall is okay and New Japan grows some balls and actually contact Scott. He took a hell of a drop on his neck and went straight into concrete and there's even talk about him being dead.

18 shows again this year. Honestly not too happy. Way too many filler tag matches for my taste

So getting through Invasion Attack, two questions:

1: When did Tama Tonga's brother debut?
2: Is it okay to skip some of these random filler-feeling tag matches, or is that part of the experience?

filler-feeling tag matches is 99% of a New Japan card. Anything that isn't named Wrestle Kingdom or G1 Climax is just filled to the brim with really boring tag matches.

I'm happy for Naito's push, but I'll pass on him as champion. Okada should have gotten a longer reign, and Naito shouldn't have won it. I understand the need to add more stars to the ME ranks, but Naito is so bleh. I also marked for Sanada.
