Njpw WORLD to upload AEW Dynamite/Rampage episodes

[Brandon Blaze]

Bro could you imagine

 

[Chris]

English commentary versions of the shows will be uploaded a few days after they air in the United States, while Japanese commentary versions will be uploaded after the commentary is recorded. Commentator Haruo Murata and NJPW star Shingo Takagi are the Japanese commentary team for the Dynamite episode that's available.

The AEW content is region-locked and only available to users in Japan. It's offered at no additional cost to NJPW World subscribers.

Translation thread for Shingo Takagi and Maruta's 4/6 episode of Dynamite.​

Translation by: Kuma

• He once saw Adam Cole’s match in person at Tokyo Dome (probably the ROH title match against KOR) so he remembered the “BAYBAY” catchphase
• He might wanna do "Shingo Takagi BAYBAY" when the fans can cheer in Japan
• Shingo said he had a match against Adam Page once at Aichi (I looked up but the only match I could find was a six-man tag match at Iwate).
• Page said in the backstage comment "That guy (Shingo) is pretty good" and Shingo thought like "Who do you think you are??"
• Shingo felt nostalgic to see Samoa Joe wrestling because when he was on ROH tours 15 years ago, he saw Joe wrestling in the main-event scene while he worked the undercard matches. Joe was much bigger draw than him at that time. He feels glad to see Joe is still active.
• Shingo knows that Joe pays a lot of respect to Japanese wrestling legends. He even thinks that Joe’s closed fist punches are a tribute to his “Ryukon Knuckles”
• Shingo pointed out that Joe's diving Tope Suicida resembles Misawa's signature move "Elbow Suicida"
• Shingo wanted to see Joe wrestling more. He said Joe still got it.
• He got annoyed cause Spears didn’t finish the match with the Made In Japan-esque backbreaker
• He MARKED OUT seeing Wardlow beating up a lot of security guards.
• When Shingo saw Jericho Appreciation Society leaving the parking lot via a van, he was like “Hmm, that’s a nice car.”
• He also recognized that's Excalibur when he saw a masked guy in the commentary team. Shingo met him at LA (probably when he competed in the BOLA)
• The table match reminded Shingo of "E-C-W!!" chants as a fan of 90's wrestling. He still chants "E-C-W!!" at drinking patries while the rest of LIJ members are like "What is that??" since they don't know much about ECW. He said Naito should watch more wrestling outside of NJPW
• Shingo asked Murata if Hardys had worked in NJPW in the past and Murata said Jeff had a singles match against Naito (for the TNA title). Then Shingo said "I wonder if Naito wrestled Jeff knowing how great he is. Nah Naito's not interested in American wrestling" lmfao
• The Julia Hart match was the first time Shingo watched Hikaru Shida wrestling. He said he has never met her before. He liked that she uses Falcon Arrow as a finisher, which is a tribute to Hayabusa
• Shingo remembers he wrestled Young Bucks many times, not only in Japan but also in the US and Spain. He got super-kicked countless times in Spain so he paid it back by a double Pumping Bomber. He saw YB making the crowd hot in person at Tokyo Dome
• Shingo mentioned that he was a ROH tag champion about 15 years ago along with Naruki Doi when he saw FTR holding ROH tag title belt. He said probably nobody remembers it.
• Shingo also said he knows the ring announcer of YB/FTR. Shingo remembers meeting him in ROH shows
• Shingo said it inspires him to see Young Bucks, who debuted in the same time period as him, still working with the same agility and athletisism after 15 years have passed since they wrestled each other. Especially considering there were only 100-150 people at attendance in Spain
• So it feels interneting for Shingo to think both of them now wrestle in front of a huge audience like the main-event of Tokyo Dome or this episode of Dynamite. Shingo said he's an old man now so he thinks about such things quite often.
• Shingo said “Americans LOVE Sharpshooter, don’t they??” when he saw the double Sharpshooter by FTR
• He also said that "Young Bucks are top notch when it comes to wrestling IQ"
• Shingo LOVED the way Dax Harwood beat up the Young Bucks after the hot tag. His praises were like "This is exactly what American wrestling is," "I should take note of this great sequence," "I learnt much from watching the wide variety of AEW talents"
• Shingo popped up when Cash Wheeler used the Gory Bomb as he uses the same move with a different name "Noshigami". It got a huge reaction from the crowd so Shingo said he has to use the move more carefully from now on

Yeah way before NJPW when he was still in Dragon Gate I think. I always forget how long Shingo has been wrestling
