Jimmy Trump Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hey guys, Would appreciate some help here. Our promotion is bringing in NJPW workers in conjunction with ROH for our next show. Fans are asking what matches they should watch to "study up" on these guys to get excited for the event. What are the best representative matches you can suggest to best showcase these guys? - Okada- Tanahashi- Nakamura- Watanabe- Karl Anderson- Kushida & Alex Shelley Thanks!

Lazlo Woodbine Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Holy shit, I want to see Nakamura against Cody Deaner in a battle of OTT mannerisms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimoDANK Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 The odd match lover in me really wants to see Booker T vs Okada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Trump Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 Booker won't be wrestling. New Japan guys will all be competing against BCW guys in a series of sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I can't find a Youtube or Dailymotion but direct them to the Nakamura/Minoru Suzuki match from (I think) last year. Somebody has to have a file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'd guess you mean the match they had on the final day of the G1 in 2011? They've had others maybe but that's gotta be the best one. It's in this. Entrances start around 1:57:00. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9OeAugZQBI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 From the sight of his busted face, yep that would be the one. How time flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
