holy fuck the work rate


my heart can't take this

 

[Reneledarker]

So far the G1 is 2/2, two great nights.

Omega selling was great, top stuff.

 

[Hex]

Having to watch again now, I kept dozing last night

 

[Nekofrog]

Can someone give me a summary of what to watch? Can't really catch it live at the 2 and a half hour later start time

the first show's start time was perfect for me, i could watch the whole thing and still get 7 hours of sleep for work.

edit: i did see the first match live, that young lion had hustle

 

[Hasney]

Just watch the G1 matches. There wasn't a bad one in day 2

When in doubt skip the tag matches.

Just watch the league matches.

Wait, we have more tonight?

 

[tchocky]

From now till Thursday it is everyday except Monday.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Yep highlights are Ibushi vs ZSJ

and

Naito vs Yoshi-TRASHI


There's also a show tomorrow night and the night after

Sanada pulling off a stunner on EVIL from the top rope.

 

[norm9]

Gonna skip undercard going forward. I get too worn out by the time the features start.

They're fantastic though.

One that I am interested in too is Bushi and Sanada vs Suzuki and Taichi.

Kenny and Yujiro vs Tonga and Owens could be interesting but Owens will most likely eat the pin.

Can anyone explain how these guys keep putting on the most entertaining fucking matches every single night?

If this is at all a sign of how the G1 is gonna play out then Jesus Christ.

Inevitably some nights will be less than...


But they do it because they're all just really good

 

[dofry]

Anyone here going on Sunday to Korakuen hall to see this?

Kenny Omega is there, again.

 

[cj_iwakura]

I haven't watched wrestling in literally decades, but seeing that trailer actually piqued my interest.
(That and Kenny Omega being a generally awesome guy at CEO.)

He's legit and is the best in the world. He had cured many a lapsed fan

Naw

 

[ghostmind]

Finally caught up on Day 2.

Not as amazing as day 1, but it was great seeing wins by

Spoiler

Juice and Tama Tonga.

And while Omega/Suzuki was good, it was no where near as good as Styles/Suzuki.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Naw

It's debatable.

They have the exact same overall rating in singles matches and one of Omega's opponents (his lowest rated singles match) was Jay Lethal who had to sell a kayfabe injury for the whole thing whereas Okada's highest rated non Omega mach was against the glorious Shibata. Granted Okada also got Fale so that's a wee bit of a wash. But then again Okada got to craft a main event match with Fale wheras Omega had to do a shorter semi final tourney style match with Lethal.

They are both at an exact average of 5* in singles matches.... and actually Omega could actually technically pass Okada for a bit once you factor in Okada's Yano match and Omega's Suzuki... actually ironically the tie breaker at the end of G1 could end up being who had the better match with Yano LMAO.

Omega had 2 near 5 star and one near 4 star match in the span of two nights...

So really it's a tie and I'd give Omega the tie break

Okada got Ibushi, Suzuki and Shiabata, Fale, Cody.... Kenny got Elgin, Ishii (x3), and Lethal

 

[Nekofrog]

I'm ready. I took tomorrow off for this

 

[HashtagLapsed]

How long until it kicks off?

 

[Hex]

Now

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Now

Sweet. I suck at time zones. I'll jump in.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Who's excited for YOSHI-TRASHI main eventer?

 

[Hex]

I love the way that little things last night set up things tonight.

Sabre and Ibushi had static, Hashi and Naito....Makabe and Ishii are always being pulled apart

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Woop, first G1 event I get to watch live.

 

[Hex]

Who's excited for YOSHI-TRASHI main eventer?

I don't care who it is as long as I can watch Naito work

 

[excelsiorlef]

I don't care who it is as long as I can watch Naito work

You ready for the upset?!

 

[Nekofrog]

i was actually surprised to find out how old ishii is. 41.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Woop, first G1 event I get to watch live.

Fuck yeah.

Spoiler

Your Omega on Fire Pro is the best Omega btw

 

[H1PSTER]

My Irish bias says I should like David Finlay but I'm just not sure if I can with those boots.

Spoiler

Especially when the opposite side consists of EVIL and Takahashi.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Juice is looking awesome.

 

[lucebuce12]

I don't think words can explain how hyped I am for Kota Ibushi vs Tomohiro Ishii on the 23rd.

Why thank you.

David has to have one of the worst looks in New Japan whilst Takahashi has one of the best.

Yeah me too. I have no idea what to expect.

 

[excelsiorlef]

EVERYTHING IS EVIL

MOTHERFUCKERS

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Someone post the card order for this show pls.

 

[kiguel182]

Yeah, I hate Finlay’s look.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Yo Juice selling the Banshee Muzzle was top notch.

 

[H1PSTER]

Amen to that - normally NJPW has a good job with the looks but for some reason he just... He's rotten? I suppose.

Edit: I've just noticed that I use your Kenny Omega too...

Juice is looking awesome.

NJPW has done him the world of good. He suits the NJPW style.

 

[Hex]

Daryl's perm is on point tonight

 

[HashtagLapsed]

EVIL has the cheesiest look in LIJ.

Everything about EVIL is cheesy and I love it, even his Dark Siders cosplay scythe.

 

[H1PSTER]

NJPW has such awesome themes for the wrestlers.

Nah

No one looks cheesy really imo





Omg that Bushi mist version of Sanada's Me Gusta shirt

 

[Hex]

Sanada v Suzuki should be fantastic
