Kang Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I need to figure out who is this Tiger Mask. Anyway for current AJPW and BJW, try Yoku and Rutube. Or Japanese YouTube, of course it won't be under AJPW on YouTube. Watch Zeus and Kento singles, or whole shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Rutube is out for me, my computer almost crashed the second time I tried to watch something on there. Never been on Yoku. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Can't fucking wait. I do think it'll be hard to find a better opponent for Taichi than Naito though. They are perfect foils for each other. Okada maybe? They've only met once (ten years ago) and Taichi won in under 10 minutes. Time to get his win back, brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archibald Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Could just do a match against Evil/Sanada/Shingo, would they click as well with Taichi as Naito did? Who knows, but it might be enough to sell out Korakuen. Besides, LiJ have been involved in last couple of their shows so it probably would be fitting if it was another LiJ guy against Taichi. But sure, Okada getting his win back would work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beech27 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I like Callis, but I'm a touch concerned his attacking Omega will probably bleed over, and I just don't need to see the IWGP champ feuding with an announcer. (I know, I know complaining about the "sports entertainment-ization" of New Japan is a really common talking point, but that doesn't mean it's wrong.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Question going back to the FMW/IWA/W*ING days... I know when the character first debuted in W*ING, Crypt Keeper was played by Jose Estrada Jr. Did he keep doing it even in IWA and FMW, or had other people taken it over by then? Same question for whenever Freddy would pop up on an IWA or FMW show after Doug Gilbert burned his bridges with W*ING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 How sleazy do you have to be to burn a bridge with frickin W*ING? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Have you never heard the story of Doug and Eddie Gilbert quitting W*ING during a match? It's online in video I imagine, but basically both were working monster gimmicks (Doug was Freddy and Eddie was Boogie Man/Michael Myers). They were on opposite sides of a tag match, and real quickly one pinned the other. They then took off their masks and cut a shoot promo trashing the promoters, etc. Much to the confusion of the japanese fans I imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Nope, new to me. W*ING really must have been paying a pittance if guys used to Southern paydays had to resort to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaeBlazer Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Do you guys think NJPW should go back to the Yokohama Arena? I know they did in 2014 and it flopped massively only drawing 7,500 in a 17,000 seat arena but they are exponentially more popular now than they were then. I think a big show there could definitely sell out. They already have sold out Osaka-Jo Hall and Budokan Hall with ease. May as well give it another shot, right?

Kang Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 They still wouldn't sell it out or fill it completely without more papering. 12000 sold or 13000 probably. Plus the buildings costs and lack of profits probably wouldn't be up to consideration. NJPW would need new better time slot to start matching the attendances of the 90's for bigger buildings. Which isn't likely to happen unless the national network they're on sees them fully sell out the dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold out Osaka-Jo Hall and Budokan Hall immediately this year and they aren’t that much smaller. I really think if they held a show like Dominion or G1 Finals at Yokohama, it would sell out. Unless Yokohama is a bad wrestling market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
