pryko Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 What was with Prince Devitt's look? Â Fuck knows what whoever came up with that look was smoking. Carnage from Spiderman. Â spoiler gif of his entrance. Â Coolest thing ever. I got the look. Just didn't understand why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â spoiler gif of his entrance. Â Coolest thing ever. I got the look. Just didn't understand why? You're overthinking it. It's a big show, he wanted to do a cool-looking entrance for the big show and thought of this. And that's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JNLister Posted February 10, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 10, 2014 If you're buying any of these shows, get them at www.ustream.com/njpwjp rather than /njpw -- you pay in yen and it works out a fair bit cheaper than in US dollars (like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimo the great Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 As a whole the show was average. more like a Raw leading to a ppv with a main event tacked on BUT go out of your way to see Tanahashi/Nakamura MOTY so far. AWESOME.  Of the rest  Liger/Desperado vs Ibushi/BUSHI Entirely forgettable  Minoru Suzuki vs Tama Tonga A bunch of nothing for 5 minutes  Toru Yano/Iizuka vs Nagata/Sakuaraba A few fun comedy spots  Michael Tarver vs Hiroyoshi Tenzan Fair to say Tarver made an impression, from the accidently spitting his gum shield across the ring whilst trying to look tough (which the crowd chuckled at) to busting Tenzan wide open (not really his fault). he'll be remembered, i'm seriously hoping he's not in the NJC.  Satoshi Kojima vs Big Daddy Yum Yum Yum yum oh Yum Yum bad has a new name. dire.  Yujiro/Ishii vs Naito/Honma Tv level match leading to the Naito/Ishii title match tomorrow. Fun when Yujiro's not involved. Naito/Ishii should be good.  Eight Man Tag Match Taguchi's back and dressing like Eddy Guerrero.....not much else.  Goto/Shibata vs Okada/YOSHI-HASHI Good. YOSHI-HASHI's way out of his depth but the Goto/Shibata combos and the hate between Shibata and Okada was great too see. Okada/Shibata NJC Final will do for me  Anderson/Gallows vs Archer/Smith Crowd didn't care, i didn't care...   Edit: had to add this gif of Yum Yum  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgi86 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hell of a match between Ishii and Naito today. Â Main event still to come but Okada's entrance was something else: Â Â WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The King Of Swing Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Just watched the opener and even though I have never been a fan of The Young Bucks they have at least freshened up the comically stale junior tag division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted February 12, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2014 Who is "Big Daddy Yum Yum"? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Out of everyone who performed at New Beginning, he appears to be the only person without a Wikipedia page so my guess is he's a bit of a nobody. Think he was brought in as part of the deal that NJPW seem to have with NWA at the minute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 He was once known as Angel of Sin, saw him in Cov on the same show that had Daniel Bryan vs Zack Sabre Jr. I'm pretty sure he was in developmental for a while too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimo the great Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Who is "Big Daddy Yum Yum"? Cheers! https://twitter.com/ByronWilcott formally Mr Awesome/Amazing Kong/Karma's ex apparently  Yum Yum Part 2   Clearly going even more over the top after someone tweeted him the gif from the first match.   New Japan Cup First Round Yujiro Takahashi vs. Shelton Benjamin Toru Yano vs. Minoru Suzuki Katsuyori Shibata vs. Karl Anderson Hirooki Goto vs. Doc Gallows Lance Archer vs. Prince Devitt Manabu Nakanishi vs. Bad Luck Fale Tetsuya Naito vs. Tomohiro Ishii Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr.  My guess's in bold  Not overly in love with that line up. The winner gets to choose between a shot at IWGP or the IC belt in April. Shibata seems the favourite but he's not loved by the company so who knows.  Also slightly off topic Kensuke Sasaki is retiring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JNLister Posted February 12, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 12, 2014 If I read the translation correctly, Shibata asked for a shot at Okada, but Okada said only if he wins the NJ Cup. So I'd assume he's a likely candidate for the final. Â Do we know if that line-up is bracketed? If so, we could be looking at Shibata-Suzuki for the semi, which is exactly what I'd get.
