Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
There are definitely some seriously lit matches in NJPW, but those matches are simply unsustainable, imo. Eventually someone will just die in the ring and they'll have to pull back.
Obviously take a WWE-approved book with a pinch of salt, but in his autobiography he states he was supposed to say "A virgin?" when caught, but changed it during the live broadcast to deflect that idea away.
Japan has been those types of matches for 30 yeaee, there is a expectation of greatness there. Also if misawa death didn't change Japan nothing will.

Rumour had it that a change in management saw the Japanese office cool on the whole idea of DGUSA, probably because it never again reached the heights of those early super shows - also, they realised they didn't need Gabe to scout indie talent for them.
Not NJPW, but Misawa died in the ring in NOAH and not much changed.
They seemingly missed the boat big time on that one.

Only good thing to come out of Punk's "fight" was that I'm now somewhat interested in following Gall's UFC career.
He was such a perfect heel in the Punk fight...came out looking smug as fuck to that dumbass "Hey Micky" song, obliterated Punk, then dropped a challenge on someone else during the post-fight interview in the octagon.
THAT'S how you get heat brothers.

The Shibata thing had me real down but I'm getting back into it. I have a lot of stuff to catch up on and a hot AJPW Korauken show is easily the best way to get me fired up again!
Certified C, brother. Gradez don't lie.
I can't believe there's no X-Men in the basic package. Not even Wolverine. Wolverine!
I didn't post the later questions.
They actually asked whether you would be more likely to buy a WWE related DVD or blu-ray if the content was already available on the Network. They also asked whether bonus materials would entice you to buy material that is already on the Network.
It was bad like way bad. He was transitioning into his "final form", actually made me want to slap him in his face. He came out wearing a furry scarf thing and in pink. He had make up on that made him look like a drag act and he acted like a drag queen.

I think Okada is overrated. Omega carried him.
The greatest match of all time
that's some nice lighting work, darken the stands to hide the fact that the arena is empty LOL
That show featured a no holds bar match where butcher straight up stabs a dude then hides the gimmick
thats 5 stars daddeh

I think Gabe positioning Gargano so strongly was a problem, the Japanese side never seemed to have much interest in him.

Okada is only 29 too.
He been enough instant classics that is very hard to think that Omega carried him.

YooToob, which explains a lot.
Nothing extreme tough, just a couple saying it was good and that they're too negative and a couple others saying they're too boring.

The fact that they're even considering discs is why I'm saying what I am. If you have a streaming service and you're trying to drive those numbers you don't put the content out in other areas. You try to create content that matters and gets people into your network.
Listening to TLF discuss how poorly they handled the Monday Night Wars doc just further made me realize how truly awful they are with the Network and media in general. I'm sure all those movies they make are cheap, but they probably barely move the needle in terms of revenue.
They're sitting on a gold mine of media and yet they continue to just treat it like a friend handing you a USB drive in 2005.

That's hilarious given they are easily two of the most positive wrestling media personalities out there.
Sounds like he's due a WWE title shot.

All these dudes carried Okada, I guess;

People should go back and watch that 2013 Makabe match. Best Togi match in about 6 years at that point, but I'm sure that was just Makabe rising to the occasion.

Jesus that long from now?
Dude's gonna not have a lot of momentum coming in at this rate
If you look at the gif posted earlier, Omega had Okada on his shoulders.
never because hes boring and completely forgettable?
You know it is happening.

FINE ZACH ILL USE YOUR GRADEZ
I'm mainly just trying to isolate out what I need to watch from 2004-now. It's a huge gap, but I know it's worth checking out stuff like the night Eddie wins or the Cena/Umaga Last Man Standing match

Dude who despises Okada prefers the match that didn't have Okada in it, what a fucking shocker
Omega deserves credit for dictating the pace of the match, but it's in now way an indictment of Okada. Okada's carried dozens of tremendous matches of all sorts of variety.
