The Naito 6 man tag match was awesome so far in this event.

Yeah, that match was a lot of fun. Enjoyed the comedy and everything.

Sekimoto looks like the result of a Goto x Shibata fanfiction. And Big E.

Why NJPW didn't include the other Fantasica shows?

 

[Jimmy King]

Why NJPW didn't include the other Fantasica shows?

No clue. The one that's happening tonight is going up tomorrow, so you'll have two shows to watch.

TV deals I think

I know about that one. The ones with the tournaments seem interesting though....

seems like it.

WWE.com feature: Daniel Bryan's top 15 matches

Surprisingly not limited to WWE matches.

Here's what he had to say about his match with Cesaro:

BRYAN SAID: “Being able to go out there with [Cesaro] and just wrestle in front of the WWE crowd and [having] them really be into it … it’s a different style than most WWE [Superstars] who come through NXT. It’s a different style of wrestling for those who have been on the independents and wrestled each other for years. And I really like that.”

I can understand them changing Claudio (or Antonio) to Cesaro, but they really changed wrestlers to superstars, huh.

WWE.com did a feature about Daniel Bryan's 15 favorite matches, guys.

The irony of WWE pushing hard on Daniel Bryan during Wrestlemania season. Got to get those new subscriptions.

I think I might give Kingsman a shot after I saw the ad with Colin Firth busting out a Northern Lights Suplex.

[Deleted member 47027]

So I haven't watched raw in a couple months

Any reason to come back?

Not Raw. NXT is the best as it's ever been, though. That is absolutely worth watching.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

RP912, I highly recommend watching this. It's fantastic. Six bad assssssses.

Watched what I believe was the main event for 1990's "Crash the Super Heavy" event - this translation is great.

Match was Masa Saito, Shinya Hashimoto and Kitao Koji vs "Big Bang Bader & Crusher", Bam Bam Bigelow and Steve Williams and GODDDDDDDD DAAAAAAMNNNNN did this match deliver.

http://njpwworld.com/p/s_series_00093_1_1

Crowd is insane for Hashimoto. Insane for Saito's hulk-ups. BANANAS for Koji's strikes. It's 26 minutes long but ends around the 22 minute mark because there's an extended brawl scene. Vader looks incredible. Bigelow looks ehh. Williams looks like he's on coke. It's worth watching. Thumbs WAY up. It was fantastic. All 3 on each team had ample time to breathe due to it being a six man tag and it went a long way, nobody ever looked slow or like they were running out of gas. Absolutely tremendous and I can't recommend it enough.

1 week until the Roman Rumble.

I'm hoping Reigns makes it rain 15 eliminations on his way to the victory. I want him in there from number one.

Watching it after Fantasica. Thanks.

Just finished Fantasticamania from last night and wrote a review.

NJPW Fantasticamania Results and Review January 18, 2015

Thought this show peaked with the pre-intermission match between Volador Jr. and Gran Guerrero. The stuff after intermission went like this for me:

1) Bad match with an out-of-shape Stuka Jr.
2) A mailed-in match by the NJPW Big Three
3) A pretty good main event that I couldn't get invested in because I didn't know the story going in

Still worth checking out for the first half of the show, the Volador Jr. match in particular, and to see the New Japan guys in lucha form.

Some gifs and pics...

Super impressive skill

They might just go to the well of finishes and do a D-Bry/Reigns tie and let the people decide whom they want.

Why bother when you could invest in HBO Go and just watch The Sopranos and The Wire over and over?

 

[RP912]

I'm slowly becoming a mark for Taguchi. Dude reminds me of a cross between beefcake (minus the fuckery) and Norman Smiley.

It's not as fun and playful though :/

 

[JavyOO7]

Always thought that the Real American video was something a fan did way back and not a WWE production. Legit shook, I am. Perfect blend of cringe and amazing.

 

[strobogo]

The Sopranos is often very fun and playful. The Wire has an entire scene where the only dialogue is variations of "fuck" for 5 minutes.

I can't stop thinking about this whenever I hear Real American.

This is actually a better Rumble than last year where you had Batista and Punk only. This year you have five established stars. Maybe Rollins will enter the Rumble after losing too.

Take what you can I suppose even if it's still shit compared to 2008 and other Rumbles.

I bought an 802.11ac WiFi router and Amazon Fire TV (which supports 5Ghz) for WWE Network PPVs. I'm getting a new modem this week. All together this will cost me $350.

If I see any more skipping during PPVs I'll be really really really annoyed.

Excuse me, last year you had Sheamus.

Remember when sheamus won the royal rumble
