MPDTT

What a show!

7 rows from the front. Having a blast!

Great preview show!

Well, I'm thinking of skipping the football entirely and heading to CRATE Brewery & Pizzeria before the show. Just a short walk from the Copper Box. If anyone fancies a few pints before the show.....

Will there be an MPDTT meet and greet?

Anyone who wants to meet me is welcome to. I'll be at the bar no doubt.

Who's going?

But I'll be sure to wear my Double or Nothing merch!

Will leave at half time.

Forgot I'd bought floor seats for Royal Quest! I have a busy Saturday - start at Selhurst Park for the Palace match, then on to the Copper box for NJPW and then home for All Out. What a Saturday!!!!!!!!!!

The promo following this all up on Being The Elite was great. He rips Moxley a new one and shows a newfound intensity, I feel. Perhaps one of the best heel promos he's ever cut.

Shame he's pretty much supposed to be the company's top babyface, as near as I can tell.

Great promo, best I've ever seen Omega do. But I don't see it as a heel promo.

Think they'll run anything on Wrestlemania Weekend or stay clear to distance themselves?

The latter - Cody has said several times that that is WWE's weekend. 

How many times will we hear "This is the greatest night in the history of our sport" on TNT night 1? So stoked with the Tony Schiavone announcement - he is the announcer I'm most nostalgic about from the Monday night wars. 

Goes to show that competition is a good thing for wrestling. 

Instant sell outs in Boston and Philly - that's impressive. That's their next 4 shows all sold out. Momentum!

So Boston and Philly announced for weeks 2 and 3. Smaller arenas. 

One of my cats - disapproving of her baby photo 

Never in doubt...exciting times to be a wrestling fan

Now lets see how ticket sales hold up for shows 2,3 and 4......

Bring on the blood and guts!

Fuck me, I love my town and all, but that video makes me cringe so much. Dickheads...

 

This is my perception of England, outside of London, in 2019.

I was in Arundel at the weekend and came across this in a shop window:

And whoever created this video, you're AEWsome!

Incoming...... 

Snip

This is the first G1 I've followed and I'm having a blast! Love the concept - its like a PPV every few days...but glad I took the advice to skip the tags...

As above, Ishii / Moxley, Ospreay / Ibushi are highlights for me....but also loved Ospreay / Archer, Tanahashi / Okada, Cobb / Ishii.

Yet to watch night 7.

Wow, that was a long 3 days....what happened?

Just finished watching Fight for the Falen - what a weekend of Wrestling with the 2 G1 shows and FFTF!

I loved this show - up until the main event - which left me flat. All four men worked hard, but The Bucks are at their best in a fast paced match and this one just didn't seem to get out of first gear. The crowd seemed quiet for it also. But the closing promo was excellent.

The venue looked great, as everyone has said.

Great to see Bea Priestley finally debut

Loved the 6 man opener - and Jimmy Havoc looked good in this one in my view. Shawn Spears looked like a star

Luchasaurus looked like a star and The Dark Order going over was the right call - Marko Stunt's involvement wasn't needed

Adam page and Kip Sabian was good and Kip came off well, despite losing

I thought the work to build Hangman / Jeriicho was well done

Brandi / Allie was shit

SCU v Lucha Brothers was fantastic

Kenny Omega / Cima was my MOTN and told a great story.

I like the long matches and hope they are here to stay - 6 matches going over 15 minutes gives the talent to go out and show what they can do and tell a good story. I'm surprised they have no more events until All Out - one more show in between could keep momentum going - its a long gap.

Like the above. Stars jumping from one major promotion to another. Nash / Hall to WCW, Jericho to WWF, Big Show showing up on WWF, Rick Rude to WCW when on a taped Raw on the other side, Luger at the first Nitro........

Just noticed that if you use Google Calendar you can add the NJPW World broadcast schedule to it and have it automatically update. It's at the very bottom of the page at https://njpwworld.com/feature/schedule#googtrans(en) and you just click the + sign by "Google Calendar". It even adjusts it to UK time.

Just searched Google for exactly this and it brought be back to the UKFF. Very useful for the G1. Thanks @JNLister
