Jiji Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Not as fun as last year's but Kakihara coming out to the UWF theme was fantastic. I had no idea he had cancer so him beating it and being able to go in the ring is beautiful, as was his dedication to Takayama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I’m deathly afraid to navigate away from the stream for the next 15 minutes for fear that I’ll never get back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Sweetser Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Same here, took forever to not only update the Amazon FireTV Stick, but to finally get the app to load up. I'm not turning it off for anything at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yeah, so they really need to fill that 15-20 minute gap with pre package videos or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 They were running videos before the rumble, but I get your point. Man, Tanaka looked like he got the worst of the two on the stereo dives but it was Komatsu coming out of it hurt. Diving anywhere but where the ramp meets the ringside is fucking crazy.

Casey Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I caved into the NJPWorld hype. Given that I just woke up, I said fuck it, I'll watch some excellent wrestling instead of just sitting here. Roppongi 3K are actually pretty impressive, color me impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This match is over delivering. I love Bucks' New Japan formula of taking out one partner to focus on the other 2v1. Backwerk e'rywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This is the least spot monkey-ish Bucks match I've ever seen. I dig it. But seriously, I'm super into Roppongi 3K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Holy fuck, layers of psychology! Back selling with all the moves and then the flash pin allusion to last year. Fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 MOTY! MOTY! MOTY! Stupendous job by all four guys and what a way to really kick off the show. Roppongi can chase now. They don't need to be super human especially when the crowd doesn't connect with them yet. edit: no buffering on my end yet and I have both english and japanese streams going so I can switch to the latter when the big matches start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm starting to get some serious buffering issues, even on the low quality setting (which fixed the buffering issues on high quality setting for a good 10 minutes). I wonder if it's their server issues from new subscribers, or something on my end. What?? Bucks win? I don't know about that - I like the Bucks, but Roppongi 3K could have went a little longer with the titles surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The Junior Tag was freaking great. I think Sho is the most likely to get a push one day, but Yoh is clearly the one with all the personality. Really carried that whole match with his selling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yeah but Tanaka is big and sekushi. Neither have great charisma yet and Sho needs to hold off on the shouting in place of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Hahahaha who is that guy running through the crowd scaring people from Suzuki-gun? I already love him. Oh, great, ZSJ. Fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Zack Sabre is the fucking man. If you have time, check out his work from the G1. This isn't the same guy that was in the CWC (though I liked him there). Iizuka's transformation from super bland, lazy-eyed, technically good midcarder to broken down, bald crazy fuck who does nothing but shitty brawls with awesome gimmicks is so weird. Like I didn't recognize him when I first saw him like this. Completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'll take your word for it and look through their archive of the G1 for some ZSJ matches. He really annoyed me in the Cruiserweight Classic, so if you say that's not the same guy in New Japan, I believe you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 It's fucking criminal that Ishii and Zack don't have singles matches (they are awesome against each other too!). Wait, Juice too should be in a singles or 2v2 type match after his progression. And yeah, Iizuka uses the iron claw from HELL~! It's the only good thing about him other than the Hansen/Brody gimmick of scaring the audience during his entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I hate Yano for eliminating Suzuki-gun. This match just got less interesting. Until my man Bad Luck Fale enters, anyway. WAR FALE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
