I love that Tama Tonga has his CMLL tag belt. Love Tama. Tama Tonga should be headlining one of the Fantasticamania shows defending those belts, where he'll probably lose it back to CMLL regulars

 

[HarryDemeanor]

LIGAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!! This should be a fun little match. Shame about the copyright stuff blocking out entrance themes, no Liger music

I was wondering why everything was muted. Thought it was on my end.

 

[tm24]

Yeah, its an unfortunate, but a clever solution to get us this ippv.

 

[MoosiferX]

They cut out the audio for entrances that use licensed music.

Ah, thanks for the heads up! I've never watched one of these before.

Incidentally, I'm always happy to see a surfboard!

 

[British Monsoon]

Beautiful 450 from BUSHI there! Also, I was pretty impressed with the young lion Hiromu Takahashi - he throws some nice forearms and hit a pretty fisherman suplex on BUSHI for a near-fall, shows a lot of promise.

 

[FallingEdge]

Let's go Okada!

Yeah Hiromu did pretty great. I was just watching Punk vs. Bryan (Over the Limit) with the Mrs. this evening so that's the second Perfect-Plex I've seen today! I feel spoiled!

 

[tm24]

Hiromu Takahashi looks pretty good. He'll probably be part of NJPW's next wave of guys being sent to CMLL to get some further seasoning before coming back and making a run in the BoSJ tourney

 

[mrboo001]

I'm alive! Let's get this started!

 

[mechashiva]

Missed the ppv trying to find my wallet. Let's do this.

edit: Preshow I mean.

 

[tm24]

Hyyyyyyyyyyype!

 

[British Monsoon]

Here we go, show's starting now! Hyped!!!

 

[tm24]

That photo of Bob Sapp is the most amazing thing ever

 

[mrboo001]

I hope my years of playing JRPGs and watching orginal Iron Cheif have prepared me for the awesomeness that this event might be.

 

[British Monsoon]

Great video package to open the show there, what a card!

Up first; Manabu Nakanishi, MVP, Strongman & Akebono vs Toru Yano, Takashi Iizuka, Yujiro Takahashi & Bob Sapp!

 

[MoosiferX]

I'm really impressed with the production value so far! I didn't know what to expect. Love vs. Money!? Who am I supposed to root for in the Main Main Event?

 

[mrboo001]

Has the show started for anyone else yet?

Just seen Bob Sapp walk down, so I guess that asnwers it... but the volume is now out, hmm...

EDIT: nm

The man who makes it rain money

Also, Sapp!

 

[FallingEdge]

Rainmaker Okada.

And is the banner still there for everyone? The one saying that we are watching the free pre show?

 

[British Monsoon]

I have no idea what Yujiro is saying, but I really like the dude's mannerisms.

And is the banner still there for everyone? The one saying that we are watching the free pre show?

Yeah, they usually let one or two matches stream for free - the banner will disappear afterwards.

 

[tm24]

I need Nakanishi's shirt

 

[mrboo001]

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with that moblie annoucer in the blue?

 

[mechashiva]

In the fyi they mention there will be parts of the show without audio. It has to do with copyrighted music I believe.

Who the heck is that really jacked bald guy with MVP's team?

 

[mechashiva]

Akebono and Bob Sapp. Jeez that's a lot of person.

 

[tm24]

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with that moblie annoucer in the blue?

It seems Nakanishi kidnapped him to do their ring entrance.

Nakanishi! Argentine Backbreaker!

 

[mrboo001]

Oh Noez!

lol

 

[British Monsoon]

Strongman is a mass of roids with a head.

Can anyone tell me what the deal is with that moblie annoucer in the blue?

Yeah, the CHAOS guys (Yano, Iizuka & Yujiro) are always beating up the announcer (Yamazaki), so the faces, specifically Yuji Nagata, have taken him under their wing, trying to help him defend himself against CHAOS.

 

[tm24]

Haha,that was a fun opener.

 

[mechashiva]

A torture rack for the win! I love the rack.

 

[mrboo001]

Ah ok... that also help explains things...

lol what a weak ass clothesline

Fun match

 

[MoosiferX]

I liked the big 4 man splash in the corner. That was super silly, but really fun!

Time for: AIN'T NO STOPPIN' ME NAAAAAAAH!

 

[tm24]

I love me some Tanaka

 

[mechashiva]

So what is the deal with the "Never" title?

 

[strobogo]

It was created for the express purpose that HHH could never win it.

 

[tm24]

So what is the deal with the "Never" title?

The NEVER project is basically a show for up and comers and outsiders in NJPW. Think NXT. THey had a title tourney a few weeks back and Tanaka won.

EDIT: ROARING ELBOW!

 

[mrboo001]

Ok enough match

 

[British Monsoon]

That was a fine undercard match, didn't do too much, but didn't try to either.

I fucking love Tanaka's Sliding D finisher, so awesome.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

It was created for the express purpose that HHH could never win it.

Triple H is a young up and coming wrestler. He's got it locked.

 

[Jamie OD]

I'm sneakily watching the Dome show at work before my shift begins. Video sound is a bit low so I'm playing Okada's theme over everything. Made Masato Tanaka's entrance look so much more badass than usual.

 

[British Monsoon]

Looking forward to this, although it probably won't get as much time as their match from the tag finals. Let's go Sword & Guns!

 

[Aiii]

Is there a place I can *cough* without *cough*ing the moneys I don't have?

 

[tm24]

Oh man, Giant Bernard footage makes me sad

 

[mrboo001]

Hey that was Albert! Back when he was repescted while doing his job!

But...Dangun. Made me sad it was copyrighted, such an awesome theme;

Sword and Guns do look interseting

 

[tm24]

Sword and Guns do look interseting

Two gimmicks accidently colliding into one hell of a tag team name.

 

[tm24]

What an entrance! Are KES the only people to hold titles since SuzukiGun has formed?

 

[mechashiva]

So the Aces & 8's made it to Japan!

 

[LiquidSolid]

Awesome entrance. Loving this.

 

[British Monsoon]

TAKA remains awesome. "Let's get crazy!"

What an entrance! Are KES the only people to hold titles since SuzukiGun has formed?

Yeah, I think so - they formed right around the time Tenzan & Kojima lost the belts to KES.
