Alan4L 40 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 That wasn't a reference to you, I think we all know you're lucky enough to watch the shows on TV I have just noticed before that people seem to prefer DM/YT, I guess if people watch it at work or on their phones that is easier than downloading the matches. I'm the opposite, I need to be able to watch them in VLC in order to review them so I can't watch them on streaming sites. Plus if it is streamed there is always a chance the account will be shut down and all the matches will suddenly be gone. it's very easy to download from youtube and dailymotion now. I'd recommend YTD Video Downloader. It's what I use and I have zero problems. Link to post Share on other sites

If I can't find it on torrents, the Japanese puroresu guy, or online for cheap, then it is to the streaming sites. I don't think I've missed anything yet, maybe some DG but that is my least favorite promotion to review. They move so fast it takes forever to type up the play by play Link to post Share on other sites
Control 1,203 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 What are some good Tenryu matches from his WAR/SWS era? Or really, anytime between leaving and returning to AJPW? Link to post Share on other sites
Curt McGirt 11,634 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Any of them? Link to post Share on other sites
J.H. 1,727 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I dunno, if I had to sit through that Tenryu/Hash Rikidozan/J1 title match again I think I'd end up crying. James Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 5,831 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Genichiro Tenryu vs Koji Kitao, obviously. Kitao wins clean, depressingly. Link to post Share on other sites

Hagan 1,313 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 what's the most essential Kenta matches to watch? I know I watched him and Marufuji hook up a bunch but what else is there? Link to post Share on other sites
GOTNW 383 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 His matches vs Sugiura and Takayama are the best because they have the highest amount of face punching. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt McGirt 11,634 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Ooooo, J.H. got a point there with that J-1 (whatever) match. Talk about day and night: that year's G-1 Climax with them (utter classic) vs... that. I will say though I will give most Tenryu matches the benefit of the doubt, excepting Kitao involvement. Most all tags more than likely will be worth a watch. Link to post Share on other sites
wakigatame 16 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Is there any update on the New Japan iPPV situation or are we still in the dark on that whole thing? Link to post Share on other sites
ultimoDANK 365 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I gotta see how bad Kaz Fujita destroyed Daichi Hashimoto. 2:22. Ouch. Link to post Share on other sites
wakigatame 16 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 There's some pissed off dudes over that match. Daichi wasn't going to come in on his debut and look convincing against Fujita. Anyone expecting him to was setting themselves up for a colossal disappointment. Link to post Share on other sites
JRV 266 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I want to see that, and I'm also wanting to rewatch that good old Nakajima NJPW debut now There's some pissed off dudes over that match. Daichi wasn't going to come in on his debut and look convincing against Fujita. Anyone expecting him to was setting themselves up for a colossal disappointment. Smarks are all about instant gratification unfortunately Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Wilson 1,090 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 While I found Great Muta/Sanada to be entertaining as they went for more of a sprint then a long rest hold match, what the fuck is Mutoh thinking doing three moonsaults in one match? Sometimes I think wrestlers are too crazy for their own good. Link to post Share on other sites
wakigatame 16 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Muto is insane. I thought this was already established. Link to post Share on other sites

John E. Dynamite 1,135 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 There's some pissed off dudes over that match. Daichi wasn't going to come in on his debut and look convincing against Fujita.

jaedmc 7,351 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Since we're on the topic of recent All Japan, and in particular, the 6/15 card I mentioned, does anyone have any background on Hideki Suzuki? Apparently, according to my blog, his tag match with Akira Jo vs. Taka Kunou and Munenori Sawa is the greatest IGF match of all time. Link to post Share on other sites
