Can anyone tell me when next year s G 1 finals will be? Is it always the same date of will I have to wait to find out. Really appreciate any help as I am trying to plan a holiday next year.

Does anyone here watch the young Lions project shows? Are the hardcam low quality rubbish or fun stuff? I enjoy watching the youngboys opening on the smaller shows sometimes

That was fucking amazing

• Thanks for clearing that up, i wouldnt have known it otherwise. I am often in different timezones so i get confused easily, but I thought there was a show today? I cant see it on NJPworld. Am I confused?

thanks

Is there a place online that shows current block standings?

That's a shame, I don't really know an alternative, but if New japan is serious about international expansion and they want people to care about this tournament, surely they should change up this formula, at least give all the shows commentary. I want to enjoy this tournament and its not too easy to do..

Hey guys, are the rest of these shows going to be hardcam and no commentary (any language) until the finals? I find them hard to watch so will come back when there is a bit more production value. It's a shame as I would like to see some of these matches.

He often refers to it as the "World's Strongest Arse", and apparently has an arse-based arsenal, but it does make me wonder why he sells for attacks to the arse. I'd have thought that, like the headbutt guys no-sell attacks to their head and often have their opponents sell instead, he'd do the same thing with his arse.

Arse.

Yeah, that was my exact hypothesis. It's odd.

Kayfabe wise, why does Taguchi sell offense to his ass?

Pretty sure that's not a turtle

I really enjoyed both cards recently and Dominion looks fucking incredible. I don't think this needs spoiler tags, but please amend if its deemed needed by mods; but when Cody went and stole that Golden lovers T-Shirt Kenny through into the crowd, I thought it was amazing, he literally wrestled it from some poor woman, the crowd were aghast. Then when Cody threw it on the floor (and kinda back to her) the crowd ( and his heat) died. I felt it was a massive puss out and really hurt his character. I have actually seen this before with Marty and a fan made sign he took and then gave back, I wondered if maybe its a rule there that they can't fuck with the fans things too much. Am I making a big deal out of nothing or did you guys think this was as lame as I did?

The gaunlet cant do stuff like that, the only stone that works that way is the reality stone and that only works to alter things for a short while. While the wearer is nearby. Hence why Draxx was turned into cubes but soon as he left he was ok. Thanos couldnt even fix his old home world. He could make it look like it was ok but soon as he stopped or left it went back to how it was.

Thanos cant get to every planet in the universe and fix what ever issues they have so he figures i will murder half of everyone. He has also seen this works on planets he had been and carried it out using his army

If this is true how can he

I really loved the movie, but one thing bothered me.

Sorry if this has been mantioned, I thought the movie was great, it only struck me later that his solution could have been simpler.

Suzuki-Tanahashi from October 2012. It was the first New Japan show available live to Western fans on the internet (via iPPV) and is arguably the starting point of the current boom. There's also a special element to the match which would be spoilery to talk about.

Well thank you sir! I should also say that I owe you a personal thanks for your Powerslam article for years ago that you mentioned in your new book thread. It is such a dizzying place, that guide really helped me while I was there, and lit a fire under my ass to go there. It was very influential for me, so a doth of the cap! Thanks so much!

Yeah tonight. Woke up thinking it had been Saturday night and then clicked 

Me too, I was disappointed, wanted t watch some wrestling today. I guess I'll look through the njpw world back catalogue. Could anyone do me a solid and recommend some good susuki matches pre 2015. That would be awesome, not quite sure where to start.

Is that Sunday night/Monday morning?

Does anyone on here have much experience of going to NJPW live? I've been lucky enough to go once, it was while I wasn't following the product but was in Tokyo so checked it out. In 2015/16 I think.  Also has anyone here ever sponsored a wrestler there for dinner? I wondered what it involved. Looks a lot like an expensive date with none of the benefits. Was wondering if anyone had any personal stories of these?

Ishii won't win, they won't do a Chaos v Chaos title match.

Ibushi for me. Okada v Ibushi for SG sounds lovely.

Isn't Osprey/Okada a Chaos v Chaos title match? On commentary the keep talking about Okada having to look within Chaos for challengers too.Its how often this has been mentioned that makes me think it may be Ishii. I was expecting Tanhashi to have a longer hiatus. Hope he's recovered.

Who have people got in the New japan cup? I'm praying for an Ishii win, would also be happy with Kota. 

And I agree about Flip, hideous name and

Thanks for posting that. I'm super new to NJPW, so still learning the characters and past storylines, but what I can say with absolute certainty is that I don't think I've ever experienced vicarious joy in pro-wrestling like I experience watching the Golden Lovers team together. They look to be having the time of their lives. I love them.

Me too, I was really happy to learn about their past. It makes the whole storyline seem incredibly well thought out. No idea if that's the case but I love it regardless. I tried to find their stuff on youtube but without context it looses a lot. I hope they have a long storied career, they have done an amazing job of making their humble beginnings a prologue which is incredibly insightful and rare.

This is a pretty cool short history of the golden lovers. I'm fascinated by Ibushi it's hard to find much stuff about him online. 

I could be wrong...

I don't think Hangman is meant to be a heel. It isn't very clear though.
