New Japan Pro-Wrestling |OT| A New ERA On the Horizon
- Thread starter Seraphis Cain
- Start date
Japan still has it. If your going to tell the media in a press conference in Japan it's going to be a fight then tell everyone in America it's going to be a fight.
I remember Jushin Liger doing a shoot interview and he answered every question in Kayfabe.
Do you get mad when Cate Blanchette and Chris Hemsworth do interviews together

I wish NJPW would throw BUSHI a bone every now and then. He's pretty much only ever portrayed as the "weak link" of LIJ, aside from maybe getting a pinfall over Gedo in multi-mans every now and then. He's better than that, dammit. =/
Like it's pretty clear he's gonna take the pinfall (probably from Fale) in the NEVER 6-man title match coming up. Which I mean, makes sense given what's happened leading up to the match, and SANADA & EVIL can't look weak going into WK, but still.

Figured i'd bump this!
Hey folks, just got done watching WK and i haven't had this much fun watching wrestling until this morning. Was my first NJPW show. I began watching about 40 minutes in, originally i only really cared for the Jericho/Omega match but that changed as soon as the first match i saw was done with. Gonna have to look at the OP as i felt a bit lost but i didn't care, i just wanted to see some amazing wrestling. Although i am tempted now to see more of it so mid-show i paid for a sub to see the show in better quality + someone kindly linked me a spreadsheet with 1300+ matches.

Welcome to the fun! Japanese wrestling makes for a different product from what we get in the states, but it is a shockingly accessible one.
I haven't watched any of WK12 yet, but goddamn, looked like a worldbeater of a show.
Was phenomenal for me but that's coming from a NJPW newbie, though the general consensus seem super positive, enjoy the show when you get to watch it!

Here is the link to the spreadsheet.

Jericho is being set up for a feud with Naito, probably to have a match at the Long Beach show. Plus he's said he's interested in a match with Tanahashi and we can't rule out a match with Okada either.
NJPW pretty obviously looks at Jericho as a main eventer more than WWE ever will in 2018 and thank god for that. His match with Omega was MOTN for WK12 and I can't wait to see more of him here.

I'm nearly mesmerized whenever I see an Taguchi-ACH tag team entrance.
Their stupid Rugby gimmick just works.

As much as I hate to say it, this thread's pretty dead (and has been for nearly a year now). Probably better to just use the main wrasslin' thread for NJPW stuff.
Should've made something with more bait.
Like "NJPW is better than WWE". The thread would have run it's course, but boy would it get action for a while.
Just kidding, I know this threads's an OT.
You're gonna need a better hot take like that to gain traction.
