Control Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 1 hour ago, Thomas Bugg said: How does everyone here watch NOAH or All-Japan? I know that AJPW has a streaming service, but is it worth the money? What about XWT? For AJPWTV, you get most shows from every tour. I’ve almost never had a problem with streaming. There isn’t an extensive back catalogue, though. If you’re interested, I’d try it during April so you can watch the Champion Carnival and see if it’s worthwhile for you afterward.

Control Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 It’s kinda funny how NOAH’s recent resurgence has relied on booking a bunch of old dudes. Like, Fujita, Dick Togo, Akira, Sakuraba, Mochizuki, MUTA, etc.—average age has gotta be 50. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I doubt NOAH would use them to treat rising stars like WWE did to The Wyatt Family at Wrestlemania 32. I'd like to think that they'll be more like the NJPW daddies.

Thomas Bugg Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I'm watching youngboy Naito in his debut match. He lost by submission to Takashi Uwano. I don't remember this guy at all! Was he any good? It's hard to tell from just his opening squash of a Young Lion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonzombie Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 NOAH should fork out the money for boxing or mma guys. And book different style fights like pre 00's NJPW. Like Inoki vs boxer or karate guy etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostinube Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 In addition to NJPW closing shows, DDT is closing shows from the 28th to the 8th. I think they are giving people some free shows on their network but I'm not sure. On the other hand, Real Japan announced a show for March 19th because they are confident that if the corona virus came Kazuyuki Fujita and Daisuke Sekimoto can beat it up, make it cry and run away. http://battle-news.com/?p=57039 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
