That cannonball/powerbomb sequence was great.

 

[Nekofrog]

kebabs for all

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Loved those 2 left hands into the Pulp Friction. Great match.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Great match, ends their G1 putting over the New Japan guy which is smart.

 

[ANuclearError]

Holy shit, Juice finished with a 3 win streak didn't he?

 

[Pikma]

Juice is great

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Great match, ends their G1 putting over the New Japan guy which is smart.

They both are though?

Holy shit, Juice finished with a 3 win streak didn't he?

Yup. Great matches too. He's improved so much just from last year it's unreal.

 

[Nekofrog]

b-baka... juice...

something's sitll not clicking for me with sanada. his look is great. he's A tier in the ring (A+, S, S+ eludes him), but A tier is really really great. i just hate his presentation, I think.

 

[excelsiorlef]

" balls deep in Japanese women"

Really Juice?

 

[reptilescorpio]

Haha Juice loves the ladies. Hopefully he can absorb as much knowledge from Tanahashi as he can.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

look at this guy being a total babyface and the crowd reacting to him

babyfaces are dead tho

like, juice makes me happy just watching him struggle, strive, and eventually win. it's what a great underdog face should be, and to be honest his theme song is a huge part of what works in the presentation as wel

edit: tama... man he's so underrated as a character

If there one guy i think would benefit greatly from a heel turn its Elgin. Would suit his style as a domineering monster too.

Problem is he dosent really fit in with a heel group. Suzuki-gun or BC, cant see him in either.

he should be that strong heel that even the heel groups are wary of. not scared, but still not wanting to eff with that

I think they fucked up that spot, I could swear they counted '19' twice to give him more time.

I have been waiting for it.

The Sanada lock count out attempt is one of my favorite things

 

[reptilescorpio]

Sanada needs a good feud or tweak his persona a bit to connect with the audience.

They both are though?

Ah I meant Juice is full time NJPW while Elgin is part time.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

nah, just rewound and checked. he had to stall though as tonga tripped on the way back lol

great spot

Ah I meant Juice is full time NJPW while Elgin is part time.

I know Elgin does stuff in america and with his own fed, but NJPW does so much rotation I don't even notice when he's gone lol.

Their roster is massive right now, especially with the suzukigun guys back.

Ah right, I misheard then. Cheers.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Why

 

[wonzo]

time for yano to paint his next masterpiece

 

[Anth0ny]

TIME FOR THE BIG MATCH

 

[ANuclearError]

Friends, we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Toru Yano.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Why

gotta give him something I guess. he was 3-5 coming in

Friends, we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Toru Yano.

Hey, yano's 3-0 against suzuki in g1

 

[reptilescorpio]

lol I wonder if the kid in the crowd was a plant

nah, just rewound and checked. he had to stall though as tonga tripped on the way back lol

great spot

Yeah bringing them back from Noah meant a big influx of guys again. Any US shows they run Elgin would have to be at all them IMO. Build the belt around Omega, Elgin, Juice and eventually Cody I guess.

MOTY incoming

Fantastic final stretch there lol

 

[excelsiorlef]

Eh that was ok.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

[Nekofrog]

yo those young lions better stop touching hi -- yep

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

kawato dying for yanos sins

 

[Hex]

Could be Baretta's return soon if Suzuki takes out Rocky.

Poor Lions...

 

[xintin]

Everyone run for your lives!

 

[reptilescorpio]

kawato dying for yanos sins

You could see the terror in his eyes pushing back Suzuki. He knew what pain he was about to consume lol

 

[excelsiorlef]

But the post match was brilliant


Minoru "Killer of Young Lions" Suzuki

 

[pbayne]

there's murder in them eyes

 

[Nekofrog]

it's not a eleventeen star classic but i was sports entertained

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Lmao @ that match and Suzuki going ballistic afterwards. He almost killed the security cop too

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

EVERYTHING

 

[excelsiorlef]

EVERYTHING

IS

EVIL

 

[pbayne]

I know it makes sense for EVIL to win, but im pulling for ya Koji

 

[excelsiorlef]

I love Kojima's theme

 

[reptilescorpio]

Could be Baretta's return soon if Suzuki takes out Rocky.

Poor Lions...

I've got the Japanese commentary going, anyone hear what Rocky said during the match?

 

[Nekofrog]

callis is really frustrating sometimes

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

That's why I'm on the Japanese stream. It's better even when Nogami isn't there.
