[Browny]

The best dropkick in wrestling.

When his feet are in kenny's face, his head is well above that. It's incredible.

That vertical leap is amazing.

Honourable mentions for drop kicks:
AJ
Bob Holly
Ziggler iirc
Big Show

 

[klonere]

Inoki is also best buds with the North Korean government!

Alright RassleGAFers, I just decided to become a NJPW World subscriber. Can I skip right to the end of the G1 Climax? Because that's a whole lotta show.

Also, any recommendations are appreciated.

Nothing you just have to pass a tryout or be recruited it's like the PC

is that Nazi poster actually real?

Being beaten, pee'd on, cleaning other's pee and probably some concussions.

Another new feature added, meant to enhance both gameplay and story, is the notion of the quick pin - the idea that one player can land a schoolboy roll-up or a crucifix-style leverage pin, ending a bout quickly, just like the matches on TV sometimes. To aid this, there are now 12 different new match interference scenarios - from run-ins to walk-ins to just entrance music blaring - that will create a targeted distraction and open up a quick pin window. After the bell, the loser, still with full energy, will then have the option of beating down whoever it was that just scored the "fluke win."

in my universe, every match will end in a distraction finish

 

[Bronx-Man]

Do you have the option to spend years of your career trapped in 50/50 midcard hell in 2K18

Yeah

Any news on how good that matches are from the Mae Young Classic?

 

[Hex]

Huh.

I'd enjoy a Raw where Bray Wyatt just randomly interfered in every single match with the entire Raw production team incapable of stopping him from hijacking their titantron and lights every match

 

[Jamie OD]

is that Nazi poster actually real?

Yeah from a 2009 show under the old ownership. They took it down when the NWA found out and told them to get rid of it.

Bolded are must sees. I've skipped a lot of very good matches (as there are SO MANY in this tournie), and the tag matches which build story for the one on one matches as that would take an insane amount of time to watch.

Also to put this in its proper context, you should watch this years Wrestle kingdom and Dominion shows first.

 

[Hex]

Yeah from a 2009 show under the old ownership. They took it down when the NWA found out and told them to get rid of it.

Leave it to GAF to pull up something close to 10 years old and toss it out there for a reaction with no context.
Bravo.

You can protest that poster by not buying WWE2K18 since Yuke's owned NJPW at the time. They were still making bad WWE games at the time, but I think there were a couple of random NJPW/AJPW games they made modified off whatever PS2 engine they were using at the time:

[Sir_Crocodile]

Hasney will still buy it

 

[Hasney]

No, I'll have it bought for me because it comes out around my birthday and OHHH YOH LIKE WRASSLIN AND VIDEO GAMES? HERE IS THE PERFECT GIFT!!

At least my gf buys me some good whiskey so I can get wankered on it while seeing how little has changed in Universe again.

I mean you can clearly see it says 2009 on it. I just posted it because I found it interesting given the current discussions.

Hasney is weirding me out.

[Alucard]

There's no actual reason to feel happy about wrestling doing bad in America. It's not opening some door for New Japan Pro Wrestling. It means wrestling is rapidly becoming even more niche and lame in the mainstream.

It kind of deserves it, especially with Vince not being able to evolve his product.
