Sportskeeda is like far and away the least reliable news source for wrestling.
That said I can totally buy that reasoning.

Against me talk in this thread? Fuck yeah. They're my favorite band and the greatest show I ever watched was in 2011 in Gainesville when they played one of the final shows in this bar I can't remember the name of at this moment. It was fucking nuts, I was in front the whole time with my shirt completely soaked in sweat, had ringing in my ears from being on the speakers the whole time and to escape I had to stage dive and surf across people. Here's a pic with me next to Tom gable/Laura Jane grace
TDB is an amazing album, easily top three from them. I didn't dig their newest CD at all sadly.
That sounds awesome and I'm glad you had a great time!
(I liked the new album. In addition to being a neat change of pace for the band, it felt like a nice follow-up to TDB)
lots of spots to keep grandpa dave's short attention
TAKA & Taichi vs Hiromu & BUSHI in a 2/3 falls match! Proper looking forward to that. It's live on NJPW World, also.
replace taichi with desperado

Dave had my favorite description of Sanada today:
"He's a great worker. But no charisma. He's got a great look. He looks like he has charisma, but he really doesn't."
"He's a great worker. But no charisma. He's got a great look. He looks like he has charisma, but he really doesn't."
Stables do a good job of protecting people with bad charisma, I still think Vince's crusade against stables is the dumbest thing ever.
That being said, I'm not a fan of Sanity at all.
Smart on Bryan, but dumb on the fans.

What does Dave have against Yano anyway? Yano was one of my favorite dudes in this tournament, he usually is.
Bing it...not at work

Where's a good place to buy some
NJPW shirts? I've decided they need more of my hard earned yen.
unsafe
Dave have no problem with yano , he doesn't like him in the G1.
Unsafe? They got some safes shirts around.

He doesn't hate Yano. He's said he really enjoyed Yano's matches with Suzuki and even Omega. His matches just don't reach the four star level for him.
Dave is rating wrestling and pacing as well as the build of a match.
I love Yano and think that nobody could pull off things he does so sincerely to get the reactions he does but in a "wrestling rating it won't be there.
Like most comic movies or comedies or even horror movies around Oscar time, they are rated differently

The unsafe was a joke. They definitely have decent designs.
Is this the site I should buy from?

If you wanna support NJPW and help it grow in the US then sign up for NJPW World. A company isn't going to take the time and effort to internationalize their stuff if the markets aren't there.

There's the international site, and NJPWEurope.com
Pro Wrestling Tees do reproductions, which I've never had a problem with.

A company can't make the claim that they're going to expand into other territories while running their 'english website' out of google translate
It's on NJPW to make their site more accessible to non-Japanese speakers if they want to grow, it's not on the fans to give them money and 'hope' they do be better.

If you are in Oceania, Fale sells NJPW merch through Silver Lion but I think everything is sold out, for now.

Yeah.
I mean, hell, even Stardom does a way better job at translating their content.
Yaaay. Also looking forward to those scathing album reviews.
Stardom didn't have their cc processor traffic encrypted for months. None of the existing wrestling networks out of Japan are sterling examples.

Yes and no. They have a slightly translated version of the site, but they probably don't have enough daily users/subs to justify fully translating the site. I will agree that if they want US market they need to do better (more than the FireTV app too) and should be ahead of this, but who knows what the actual subscriber numbers are.
Pic not coming up for me.
I also don't see it.
But he's one of my few follows on the Tweeter. Mostly because he's always railing against gerrymandering.
