Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

[Honga Ciganesta]

I will negotiate with Nagata and Nakamura to recruit to AJPW in next year. We Speed Partners does not purchase the company which sales over 500 millions yen. AJPW's sales is only 50-60 millions yen. The reason why I purchase AJPW is I am big fan of Pro-wrestling. NJPW chairman Kidani said NJPW does coolest pro-wrestling, We AJPW will do strongest pro-wrestling. Strongest is superior to Coolest. Let's compete each other.

nWo

I like this dude's style Strongest vs Coolest

Not feelin Lance Archer in singles at all. That Nakamura swag though

 

[Boo-Kake]

I was at that show live, shyt was pretty hype. They only had standing tickets left to sell on the day of the event, so we had to stand in the areas behind the reserved seating, but it was still close enough to see well enough.

Were the boos for Tanahashi mid-match as loud as the video made it sound? It sounded like he was getting some real heat here and there

So Okada's new finisher...

... looks pretty bad to me, super cooperative and he doesn't even make it look as if he's even trying for a sub, looks like a resthold more than anything. Also tough to get on bigger dudes:

So it ends up as a weak ass camel clutch type deal.

Sekimoto's though

Easy to buy this dude tearing your shoulders out.

Eh I'mma let Okadas move simmer before judging it.

The Rainmaker was shaping up to be wrestlecrap status before the Tanahashi match with how unover it was and ineffective it looked.

Rainmaker was over as fukk, anytime he teased it the crowd would react and it was the most protected finisher since the Burning Hammer.

Idk man I was skeptical on it at first too. A short arm clothesline shouldnt be the end all be all in puroresu. Then again im still living in my King's Road world. Im a believer in it now which is why his kneeling STF isnt going to fly well with me. It will create drama when he wins the title from Suzuki with it as a face (calling it now) but for now on guys like Lance Archer, it doesnt look good. That dropkick though

That happened after he beat Tanahashi. From when he debuted it up until he beat Tanahashi with it (granted it was only like two months but still) it was very ehhh. The first time he hit it to a reaction/ovation was the title win, and after that it was no looking back.

I'm expecting the same to happen here. It's not a visually pleasing move, but he's bound to get it over and hae me like whenever he tries to lock it in.

Takayama could be wrestling on the April NJPW show (or maybe I am reading too much into this):

On March 12, Bushiroad & NEW JAPAN made an announcement on the 3rd package of the trading card game "KING OF PRO-WRESTLING", which will be sold on April 13 (Sat).
The name of the 3rd package is "INVASION ATTACK" same as the event on 4/7 at Ryogoku Sumo Arena.
　
　The 1st package is mainly for NJPW wrestlers, and the 2nd for many Legends, and the 3rd package includes many INVADERS like Yoshihiro Takayama.
　
　Other than Takayama, Minoru SUzuki, Lance Archer of Suzuki-Army. Sakuraba & Shibata, All Japan, etc. etc.
　
　The 4th package will be sold in July 2013, for "Best of the Super Jr.", and the 5th. 6th

Tanahashi's attire in that pic

Any Takayama/Shibata/Sakuraba interaction would hit the spot

Ishii/Kojima from day one of the NJ Cup was pretty good, not a MOTYC or anything but definitely worth watching. Never been a fan of Kojima but Ishii is legit one of my favourite guys to watch right now, give this dude the win

It's first up here:



Nagata/Suzuki wasn't bad either, bunch of nonsense on the outside but once they turned it up towards the end

This line from the latest Observer

Owner Takaaki Kidani is not happy about the piracy issue. Apparently between Daily Motion, You Tube, Torrent sites and other downloads, he found out that the Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Prince Devitt match from the 3/3 Anniversary show was downloaded 2 million times.

Shiraishi would never complain about something like this

Sekimoto's abdominal stretch. We need more strongmen doing simple submissions as finishers in wrestling.

I'm not sure I'll ever get used to Japanese commercials, no matter how many of them I watch.
