The WWE name generator sucks.

The show's been alright so far. There's been matches with Gran Metalik, Mustafa Ali, Asuka. The only bad part so far is the 39 degree weather.
It was mostly the 39 degree weather that stopped me haha. Would have been cool to see Metalik again for sure though

They'll be back in Ocala on Saturday, March 18th.
OK Kurita
I mean, I'll be going to largo again for sure in February because I live in Largo, but maybe I'll check out the Ocala show then, is it a tent every time?

Yeah. It's in a wedding tent at a hotel. It was actually not too bad for the October Ocala show since it was in the mid-70s.
I try to hit up every show within an hour or so radius of Pasco County plus the tapings at Full Sail.

The mic cut out during the intro so I couldn't catch what it was changed to, but Tommy End had been renamed.
Edit: It's Alistor Black.

Man, I'd love to get to a taping sometime, hopefully my schedule lines up with the next one.

That's actually kinda cool...
Watching the AXS NJPW show for the first time, and the sound mixing is god damn horrendous. The commentators are so high on the mix, and the actual match audio sounds drowned out. One of the best parts of njpw matches is how insane the crowd gets as the match goes on, and you can barely hear them on this. It's great to hear JR though
Not bad.

Kidani seems pretty hell bent on going after WWE.
I wonder what will happen here.

WWE Japanese Title tournament, regular touring WWE brand in Japan running big arenas and booking up important mid-size venues for key dates. WWE have only really been testing the waters in Japan, but they could cause some big problems for NJPW if determined to do so.
Thinking of signing up for NJPW World but I have some questions.
- I've never seen any NJPW match, ever and after WK11 I've decided to watch. I've been reading the whole "Rise of Okada/Naito" thing on reddit right now, it's got a list of matches and everything starting back at WK6 so I gotta ask, is this a great place to start?
- How much of it is in English? Do I need English to enjoy the story or is it pretty easy to understand?
- Any suggestions?
I'm glad I'm getting into NJPW so any help that you can provide is appreciated.

What grade did Zach give Austin/Bret at WM13? This will greatly affect my opinion of him.
this is so happening. ugh.
I pray that New Japan finds success in the west this year. are they allowed to run an event wrestlemania weekend?

5 years back is pretty far, you don't really need to do that
They only started doing English telecasts on Wrestle Kingdom and the major shows in the past couple years, but it's pretty easy to understand what's going on
Stop watching wrestling

WK6 is probably further than I'd go back, tbh - I'd suggest just jumping in with Wrestle Kingdom 11. The storylines in NJPW are always fairly simple and are told mostly via in-ring storytelling - the big shows (like WK) have English commentary, which does a pretty good job explaining things. Promos aren't translated unfortunately, but this twitter account regularly translates things for western fans; https://twitter.com/reasonjp
The coming month or so on NJPW World has the annual FantasticaMania shows (which are joint produced with Mexico's CMLL and always a lot of fun), plus the two New Beginning PPVs which are the next two big shows.
Think you mean Big Merch Naito-kun, the modern day real ass Stone Cold
