Control Posted February 15, 2020 Author 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.
Brian Fowler Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 I literally spend 8 something a month just to be able to watch Kento Miyahara singles main event matches. 1
Ryan Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 The mysterious MARUFUJI who last I checked was getting some knee surgery done. I expect it to be Masao Inoue.
Control Posted February 16, 2020 Author 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

Thomas Bugg Posted February 17, 2020 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.
odessasteps Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 Are there still a lot of shows Golden Week in May? Friends are thinking about going on a trip.

Dragon Posted February 18, 2020 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.

Dragon Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 New Hall of Fame. Eventually they want to establish security for retired wrestlers. 3

Control Posted February 26, 2020 Author Posted February 26, 2020 AJPW news, If the Twitters are accurate: - Nomura to miss CC due to herniated disc - Kodaka and Miyamoto to challenge for the all Asia titles - AJ bringing back their version of the young lion cup
Curt McGirt Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 Barnett vs. Fujita MAKE IT HAPPEN Barnett vs. Hideki Suzuki rematch MAKE IT HAPPEN Barnett vs. Nakajima MAKE IT HAPPEN Barnett vs. Sugiura MAKE IT HAPPEN YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS 1
lostinube Posted February 26, 2020 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
lostinube Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 AJPW kindly asks Kento Miyahara to celebrate his birthday a bit later and has canceled some shows in early March. http://battle-news.com/?p=57052
