    Ricky "liked" the tweet too. How mental.

    Reckon it showed up on my timeline BECAUSE Gervais liked it... not far down from ICW’s tweet reporting his death.  Which... yeah. Shit.

    Can’t pretend to be particularly familiar with him, never followed ICW or PCW at all hardly but he seemed a proper decent fella by all accounts. Awful news.

  2. Feel like nothing truly blew me away on this year’s show, but that’s largely just a testament to how good New Japan has been the last few years and the heightened expectations that brings. The idea that a five hour show can be SUCH an easy watch is what probably impressed me the most..!

    This.

    The "lose access the moment you cancel" thing seems to be very specific to Japanese streaming services. Not all of them though.

    I suspect that it might be linked to whoever the promotions use to supply their content streaming. I think Stardom, Wave and Big Japan all use the same platform for example.

    Any idea if Dragon Gate’s service is the same deal..?

    I imagine this has been asked multiple times, does there streaming service bill from the 1st until the end of the month? So if I just want it for January I can subscribe on the 1st and as lo g as its cancelled by the 31st I will only be billed the one month

     

    Thanks

    But DO NOT cancel straight away assuming you’re good for the month you’ve paid for. Your service will end as soon as you cancel.

  5. I was super excited for this show coming out of SSS16, with the Havoc/Ospreay angle and Zack’s “Wembley, innit” tournament victory. So yeah, it’s falling a little flat for me too, and it’s definitely a card you could easily see just happening in front of 700 people in Camden.  It’ll still have a cool sense of occasion, and could easily be an awesome show, just unfortunately feels a little makeshift.

    It’s almost become tradition now that Progress can book an awesome tournament each May, but struggle with the build to the big September show every year.

    Fuck's sake - opened up New Japan World to watch today's show and there's a big, fuck-off advert for who the two participants are in tomorrow's final. That's Omega vs. Ibushi spoiled, then.

    Happened to me too, never had that issue with them doing stuff like that before, still thoroughly enjoyed the match though..!

    The card we're getting in Manchester is far more than a typical Global Wars show based solely off the fact we're getting an Okada singles match, against ZSJ no less. A match which has just headlined a big New Japan show. 

    Wasn't Okada vs. Ospreay on a previous Global Wars show..?

  8. The start times on New Japan World are definitely the start of the main show (pre show stuff is generally about half an hour before that), but the biggest shows (such as Dominion) can hit the four to four-and-a-half hour mark...

    It's not just limited to Osprey. I wince every time Naito bumps off the Rainmaker.

    Looks like the MK show damn near sold out in two hours.

    That's a belting schedule for the next month. Coloured me excited for Suzuki Naito.

    Wow. Must admit to being fairly stunned getting on the presale link bang on 9am last Thursday, going for a seat in the tiered section and still getting third row back!

    Seems to be a bit of moaning on Twitter that there’s “only” 14 Japanese NJPW wrestlers over for the weekend, which seems pretty mental.  It’s not like RevPro haven’t been bringing a few New Japan guys over on a semi regular basis for the last few years anyway, and I’ve no reason to believe this won’t be as “authentic” an experience as previous NOAH and Dragon Gate shows over here.

  10. Genuinely don’t know how I could possibly be any less underwhelmed with the Victoria Warehouse announcements so far. Two of my absolute least favourite wrestlers. Guess things can only get better from this point...

    On the other hand, SSS16 is shaping up nicely, and the New Orleans shows are looking potentially incredible!
