Ishii is the veteran who is finally getting his shot after being on the roster for so long and the fans recognise it. I think Christian pre-World Title win would be the WWE equivalent. Or maybe current Mark Henry, after wallowing in the mid card for so long he finally figures it out and gets over.

I love G1, but I'll need like a three week break from wrestling afterwards. It's just SO much wrestling in such a short time.
I'm still betting on Naito or Shibata to win it. Shinsuke's already won G1. He's already IC champion. G1 used to be a way to help elevate a guy into the main event picture, not just to build one storyline. Except when Chono won it. Chono just won it because he's the Triple H of New Japan.

I still think Block B is coming down to the Anderson vs Naito match on the final day.

God that Tito entrance had zero hype. It felt like the arena emptied out 30 minutes before he came or something.
That's why Chono had one reign with the IWGP and didn't even get a successful title defese. Chono never was the ace of New Japan. Hashimoto was the huge star of his generation.
And before 2007 the G1 was rarely used to build new stars. It only really worked with Kensuke. They tried to start the pushes of Nakanishi, Nagata and Tenzan that way, too, but to lesser success. But under the traditonal booking it was mostly won by established stars.

Bootaaaay you should have seen the senton by Mastiff last night he got ridiculous height on it, busted T Bone open though he was bleeding all over the place

My dude, how do you even keep up with all these different pages? I was on that Jahmale Hepburn for a while and it got shutdown a few weeks ago, now this one pops up.
The internet is a strange and wonderful land, and is making my Japanese wrestling experience so much easier. 2003 Net_Wrecker's brain would melt

Nice, Mastiff is ridiculous. Hope to see him back in Progress soon. How was the rest of the show? I saw some tweets praising Ligero/Williams, but it was from the guy on commentary for PCW.
I just found that one today, actually. Searched youtube for 'NJPW', sorted the results by upload date and that was the first result.

Williams Ligero was great other than a really slow first ten minutes, Williams won 5-4 then Lionheart returned and took the title
Danny Hope and Manson had a hilarious comedy match including some pants down wrestling
April David's beat Dave Rayne - wasn't too keen on this its just silly booking putting the cruiserweight belt on a woman
Manson and Cyanide lost to T Bone and Rampage in an awesome big man match
Travis won the ladder match, great match with some good and not too contrived spots, the end was botched as he took about 2 minutes to unhook the case and if was a bit awkward
Good show overall but being drunk helped that
Omg. So many scenarios are running through my mind with this photo!

She's kept those legs hidden for so long I was starting to get worried they were no longer at their peak.

Updated G1 results and tomorrow's card;
Best match was definitely Tanahashi vs DBS Jr, but Okada vs Archer, Ibushi vs Anderson, Shibata vs Makabe were all good matches. Nakamura vs Yano was really fun, as well. Probably the weakest of the 3 days so far, but tomorrow's Osaka show should be excellent;
01. Block B: Toru Yano
vs Yujiro Takahashi
02. Block B: Hiroyoshi Tenzan
vs Karl Anderson
03. Block B: Yuji Nagata
vs Shelton Benjamin
04. Block A: Satoshi Kojima
vs Davey Boy Smith Jr.
05. Block A: Tomohiro Ishii
vs Katsuyori Shibata
06. Block A: Hirooki Goto
vs Lance Archer
07. Block B: Tetsuya Naito
vs Minoru Suzuki
08. Block A: Hiroshi Tanahashi
vs Prince Devitt
09. Block A: Togi Makabe
vs Kazuchika Okada
10. Block B: Shinsuke Nakamura
vs Kota Ibushi
Really looking forward to Nakamura vs Ibushi and Ishii vs Shibata.
Nice, glad to hear Travis won - him & Kirby have been really impressing me. I'll have to grab some PCW on DVD soon, sounds like a fun promotion.

I'd let her choke me out with those legs.
I'd accept death only if she was pantless

That was awesome, can't recall the last time I saw Goto use Kaiten.

can anyone explain to me why Breaking Bad is considered one of the elite shows of all-time? I think most people in WrassleGAF have good opinions so I figured I'd ask here instead of OT where it's all sheep
I mean it's a good show, I just don't get what makes it so amazing. It's not even the best show on AMC, let alone one of the best of all time

It's pretty well written and it has a lot of those random foreshadowing moments and pieces in the dialogue or things that you'll see in the background. Plus it's an interesting story take as the protagonist descends further and further into madness and
becomes the main antagonist
Has anyone re-cut this sequence to David Flair's theme?
I am watching this past week's Main Event. Josh Matthews and JBL are commentating.
It is literally two minutes into the match (Usos vs the Prime Time Players) and neither Josh nor JBL have said one thing about the match. The worst part is they are talking about JBL climbing mountains and all of their dialogue sounds forced and awkward.
1. Bring back JR
2. Never pair Josh and JBL together again. The commentary is so bad on this episode it makes me miss hearing the Miz on commentary.
Ugh.

Hmm not sure if this is the reason for the silence but one of them must have said something dumb or referenced something controvercial in the news and they didnt record any new commentary to replace it. this use to happen on smackdown alot when Booker T was around. One time there was legit 2 to 3 min of silence then all of a sudden you hear Cole and booker t commentating like they had been having a conversation the whole time.
He did better than I expected, but its only because my opinion of him could not be any lower.
