This page went from the tan one and O'Spreay's flipping to AJPW goodness to BJW deathmatch.
We have almost captured the breadth of Japanese wrestling.
Data, where do you stand on weed whackers?

BJW's motto, 'It seemed like a good idea at the time'
Mate, your knees are knackered.
It's crazy how hot the crowds were for FREEDOMS Mexico vs Japan deathmatch event.
I wish I could find the gif of Ryuji Ito on like a 20 foot ladder, the opponents laying on a bed of cement blocks AND HE JUMPS OFF AND DOES A DOUBLE KNEE STOMP AND INSTANTLY BREAKS HIS WRIST AND KNEE

These two bits in particular, the crowd goes like 90s FMW insane

Who would've believed at the start of the year that YOSHI-HASHI vs SANADA would be one of the best built feuds of 2016?
Because fans got obsessed with Suplex City.
Everytime I see YOSHI-HASHI go after Sanada with all his might I imagine you sitting there smiling, softly saying "I TOLD YOU HE HAD SOMETHING, I TOLD YOU".
The whole feud has been very simple and near pitch perfect.

Fun fact, our KingOfLean did a Big Japan tour, and got hit in the face with Kasai's son. I can't find the match on the net anymore, so enjoy this clip.

Real World Tag League '97, I believe - Hayabusa teamed with Shinzaki.

This collaboration with BJW has helped, but it's going to end at some point because they're not merging. They've done a good job of establishing Miyahara's credibility and build to matches with Akiyama and SUWAMA, but they have work to do in the undercard, recruiting, and training new wrestlers.

Seth is on Jericho podcast today
So 1 hour of talk about Screamo, 25 minutes of talking about Jericho and 5 minutes of talking about Seth?
You forgot the cowbell.
Podcast is good. Listened on the way in this morning. Seth seems like an a cool guy. But, I'm biased. Definitely worth checking it out.

Amazed TNA are still around frankly especially since Carter keeps souring all the deals with potential investors.

I haven't listened to that show in ages. Does he really still do the cowbell at the start of the show?

That was a good interview with Samoa Joe and Balor this week to build to The End.
Going to Japan and will be attending Dominion. The ladder match was definitely my most anticipated match. Elgin as the replacement reduces my hype to basically zero. Although I guess the list of viable alternatives to Tanahashi isn't very long. Still a huge bummer though.
Okada/Naito better be 5 stars.

I really need to get caught back up on NXT. I've only seen a couple of the post-Mania ones. Is there a good point that I could just jump in and watch from there to get up to date?
EDIT: I've got 7 episodes to go and it looks like the aftermath of Joe's title win is just coming up. I may just try and watch them all. I had initially thought it was taking place over the weekend. I'll have more time to watch them all now.

Man, Meltzer BURIED Seth's heel turn. Pretty much pegged it as another example of mcmahon having lost his touch.
I loved how both had good points, but Finn's felt more true and Joe's felt slightly exaggerated. It kind of ended up feeling like Balor knew he had slightly screwed up but Joe had overreacted beyond the pale.
It was great.
To be honest, it hasn't been great.
I would say 18th of May, 25th of May and this week gets you pretty much up to date on the major feuds.

You're going to make me actually listen to a Jericho podcast just for this aren't you?

Lol, this belongs in the "what time is too early to mow" thread in OT.

Yeh? Thanks for the advice. I'll see how I do for free time and if I can't manage to check all of them out I'll stick to the ones you recommended.
at this point i'm thinking TNA will outlive WWE, and most likely humanity

I just hope Sasha Banks ditches team BAD, she's so much better doing her own thing.
