Almost every one, he missed 1995 due to injury and didn't compete in 2000 as he was champion at the time.

If the winner gets a title shot why is Takahashi fighting in this one?

I think it's the champion's decision, either to try and win the tournament as champion just to show how great you are (Liger did that once, Tiger Mask IV as well iirc), or just choose not to compete.

Ahhh...

Cool.

Wonder if they'll have Takahashi win it all

Lol zero reaction to GoD... God I hate their big game face paint


Lol I'm now even more annoyed by War Machine with those helmets


Tenzan and Kojima look out of place against all these face painted weirdos lol.

 

[British Monsoon]

Crowd really does not give a fuck about GOD. Also, wish Gedo would tire of these multi-team tag title matches, tbh.

They did pop a bit for that spinning double split legged dropkick that hit both of War Machine off the apron

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

The Smackdown Nakamura video vignettes are really beginning to get irksome.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Lame match

NJPW's tag division is weak as fuck

GoD beatdown is good though.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I'd go on a free platform like Youtube regardless of ad income because right now you want to raise awareness for the NWA and the talent you have. That's the best way to do it really.

Or you do what Progress does and have your OnDemand platform with Pivotshare/VHX then do a lot of teasing and promo stuff on YouTube.

 

[British Monsoon]

War Machine vs GOD, eh...fine as long as War Machine win. The tag division needs a strong reign again.

 

[FlammableD]

I'm all up for another Will vs Marty match

 

[excelsiorlef]

War Machine vs GOD, eh...fine as long as War Machine win. The tag division needs a strong reign again.

Problem is War Machine are part timers..


Bigger problem is NJPW's tag division has no depth.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

"fuck 3-ways" lmao
Sanadas t-shirt looks pretty cool (as does his hair like always)

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

You guys complaining about NJPW multi-man matches are why it's hard for me to watch these in-between events. I know they help with building feuds, but they're also so damn multi-man heavy.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Tanahashi in Taguchi gear is funny as fuck.


This argument between Kelly and Callis about checking Bushi's mouth for mist is lol

LIJ is the only stable where I love every guy in it.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Lmao this is great comedy stuff

 

[excelsiorlef]

All of LIJ have belts again... all is right in the world

 

[British Monsoon]

lol, these fuckin NEVER 6-man belts change hands more than any other in wrestling, surely.

It kinda works though 6 men tags are inherently chaotic

Oh shit serious attire kenny

This is their big show Wrestling Dontaku


Fuck me the crowd was clapping the Terminator theme song... awesome

 

[HashtagLapsed]

This has been fucking stiff.

Dope I should've figured with the bigger arena it was a bigger show xD

Shit even for an ishii match this has been a bit slow, I wonder if ishii is hurt?

 

[Beefy]

Morning Wrasslegaf

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Morning Wraskegaf

Mornin' mate.

Fuck those spots scare me.

 

[korly]

Good morning everyone!

I just woke up and I'm seeing some surprising agility from Ishii in this match!

What'd I miss so far? Anything I should watch on the replay?

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

God damn this match
DAT ISHII REVERSAL YOOOO

 

[excelsiorlef]

Beat that Okada

 

[korly]

I woke up at the right time!

 

[British Monsoon]

Fucking hell, what a match. Good luck to Okada and Fale following that haha.

 

[Jashobeam]

that was a fucking great match, 5 stars easily

those last 2 knees from Omega looked deadly

I am going to have to watch that match again but with super hype Japanese commentary.

 

[RecRoulette]

Ishii vs Omega was awesome, holy shit.

Edit: Okada's dragging Fale to a 6 star classic now, lmao yeah right.

 

[excelsiorlef]

That was about equal to Naito vs Elgin which is still my personal fav match of the year

 

[korly]

WARNING! EMERGENCY! This man is large!

 

[HashtagLapsed]

THAT FUCKING MATCH HOLY FUCK

EDIT- Honestly. That was a fucking classic. God damn. Easily one of the best matches of this year.

 

[British Monsoon]

Fucking lol, that promo from Fale. "This time's gonna be different...because I'm gonna CRUSH YOUR HEAD!"

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Brutal monster heel community worker, Fale.

 

[miserable]

Fucking lol, that promo from Fale. "This time's gonna be different...because I'm gonna CRUSH YOUR HEAD!"

maybe he'll use the deadly Vise Grip on Okada

 

[FlammableD]

#safe

 

[Recall]

Heart Punch incoming.

 

[RecRoulette]

Fucking lol, that promo from Fale. "This time's gonna be different...because I'm gonna CRUSH YOUR HEAD!"

Burning Hammer incoming.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Lol this is a match

This is whatever.

It's your basic Okada gets his ass kicked until he wins match but with a much worse opponent

 

[slightconfuse]

Wait the njpw show is today??

Wtf thought it was this weekend

 

[slightconfuse]

Holy crap A block is stacked

 

[excelsiorlef]

Lol he missed the Grenade entirely fuck off

 

[HazySaiyan]

Wow did not expect to see Marty Scurll there. Not complaining though, that's great

 

[slightconfuse]

[excelsiorlef]

A pretty whatever match...

If Meltz gives that 4*s I'll just shake my head

Ending sequence was pretty flat.

 

[RecRoulette]

Well, that was unspectacular.
