I don't know if that would happen, but I would definitely like to see Goto get at least a transitional run as champion this year, even though I think Naito is going to be the next big feud for Okada.

NJPW GAF, it's on at 7am here, although i'm ill and it's my final day off work so I am not getting up at 7 to watch this. Does anyone have any idea when the English version will ve available to stream?
Can I log on at say, 9:30 and watch from the start? Or must I wait until 11ish when it's finished? Also i'm scared of clicking on the wrong thing, damn the Japanese language!

They'll handle that as well as Goto was a transitional champion for both the Tag Team and Intercontinental belts.
He's just feed for the people he originally beats.
Better than Honma, though. Poor guy and his streaks.

Signed up for NJPW World finally. When is the replay of WK10 coming on or how do we watch it on demand. I'm trying real hard not to see spoilers so any help would be great
Last year the archive appeared a few hours after the show ended.

Results of last night's Big Pro-Wrestling Festival:
(1) Hirai Kawato’s Debut Match: Yohei Komatsu vs. Hirai Kawato
◆Winner: Komatsu (6:22) with a Boston Crab.
(2) Teruaki Kanemitsu’s Debut Match: Sho Tanaka vs. Teruaki Kanemitsu
◆Winner: Sho (5:15) with a Boston Crab.
Kawato and Kanemitsu both looked good but very green, but it was good that Komatsu and Tanaka were their opponents as both are very good.
(3) Jushin Thunder Liger, Tiger Mask IV & Jay White vs. Ryusuke Taguchi, Mascara Dorada & David Finlay Jr.
◆Winner: Dorada (8:40) with the Dorada Screwdriver on White.
(4) Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima & Juice Robinson vs. Yuji Nagata, Manabu Nakanishi & Captain New Japan
◆Winner: Kojima (10:56) following a Lariat on Captain.
Also, NJPW signed two new young lions, the first-ever heavyweight young lions in quite a while, Katsuya Kitamura (left) and Noriyuki Oka (right). Both are former amateur heavyweights already in the 200+ pound range. They are also both older (Kitamura is 24, Oka is 30).
In addition, New Japan has announced a new series of shows called "Lion's Gate" which sounds very similar to the original concept of NEVER. The first, called "Project 1", will be held on February 25th and will feature the new young lions and possibly talent in-training from other promotions.
Edit: Somebody found Kota Ibushi...

I definitely want to watch this but much like last year, there's no way I can watch it live. I'd be way too tired at 2 AM.

So I've got a couple of hours to kill before I'd need to go to bed to watch (Being in UK is an advantage for once). What would be good stuff to watch for someone who's not really seen much New Japan stuff? Currently got Global Wars UK on since I recognized guys like Damo, so that + English commentary seemed like a good idea for me to get comfortable with the service.

To lead into this, I'd probably recommend Dominion 2015 or King of Pro Wrestling 2015. Dominion is the better show, but KOPW has english commentary.
I've tried to get through three Wrestle Kingdom events. It's the intermission that kills me every time. I get why it'd be nice if you're watching at a reasonable hour or if you're there live, but if I make it that far it's always the stopping point for me.

There wasn't an intermission last year and there won't be one this year.
Where do I find a link to the full card for KOPW 2015? All I see are the individual matches.
Wasn't there one last year? Did I just pass out in the middle of a video segment? Last year was the one with JR/Striker right?
Empyrean Heaven

Yup, there was a five minute video segment in between Ishii/Makabe and Omega/Taguchi revealing the NJPW shows until the G1.

Bummer thanks for the quick reply
It's flash based so that's not gonna work on console browsers.
I'm in the Xbox One preview program and there's a "wireless display beta" app. You can use that app to project NJPW World on your Windows 10 device to your Xbox One. It's just a mirror of whatever is on your computer though so it's not as good as the Chromecast thing.
No idea if that app is available outside of Preview Program.
Watching Nakamura vs. Tanahashi from G1 last year and getting hype as fuck

It's almost time...
Tanahashi, Kevin Kelly, Matt Striker and Yoshi Tatsu forming the weakest Air Band of all time in this interview.
Almost as weaksauce as the question Kelly asked Tana. Oh my god, Kelly and Striker look so awkward.

Tatsu's put on some weight but its great to see him up and moving around well.

They're so bored that they're quizzing Kelly and Striker on their move knowledge. Striker has a really good Honma impression.

I get that everyone watching already had NJPWworld but this has to be the worst possible way to promote a big show. The recycled hype videos that ROH does would be better.

Not long now until the Rumble - I've got Kojima to win it, but I'll be cheering on YOSHI-HASHI anyways.
Empyrean Heaven

Btw, I didn't catch a lot of the interview considering my knowledge of Japanese comes exclusively from anime, but apparently Tanahashi is debuting a new costume tonight, but it may just be new gear. Still, it looks like we're getting special entrances tonight.

Nope, they only announced the unsurprising participants - Kojima, Tenzan, Nagata, Nakanishi, Taguchi, etc.
Empyrean Heaven

Just the eight confirmed so far, except...
Rumor is Cheeseburger is in town with the ROH contingent, and may be competing in the Rumble. Liger is a huge fan of his.
Also, Tama Tonga revealed that he traveled with his father, King Tonga/Haku/Meng, who could also be a mystery entrant.
We don't have a total number of participants, but I'm going to guess 20.

The announcers just polled the crowd outside, split down the middle on who they are rooting for for Okada/Tanahashi
I love how they're promoting all this merch like we're there to buy it.

Nagata last year got an IC title shot at New Beginning the next month, but I'm pretty sure it was unrelated. This is just something to have fun and pop the crowd.
I think so. Isn't that what granted Yuji Naka a match against Nakamura last eyar?
Empyrean Heaven
Member
I think it was just more...
Nagata: Hey, I won the New Japan Rumble. Give me a title shot.
Nakamura: Yeah, sure, okay old man.
Empyrean Heaven

Yeah, it's the preshow which includes the NJ Rumble, with the show proper starting at 3.
Still, the Rumble should be pretty fun.
Dead.
