TildeGuy~! Posted March 25, 2018 Posted March 25, 2018 Minoru Suzuki Vs AJ Styles from the G1 in 2014 is a good 20min match too Quote

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! Cheers, though I think the PowerSlam piece was someone else (Oliver Hurley perhaps) -- my Japan one was in FSM last month. Quote
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 26, 2018 Paid Members Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Is anyone up for Strong Style Evolved tonight? Having a mare trying to watch it. Really looking forward to it too. Edit: never mind, all sorted with NJPW World. Really fun event so far. Edited March 26, 2018 by Kaz Hayashi Quote
Guest Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Have watched the main event, good story with some awesome spots. Will watch whole card after work Quote
TildeGuy~! Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 (edited) Jim Ross and Josh Barnett were awful on commentary all night. Edited March 26, 2018 by TildeGuy~! Quote
Guest Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Sadly they are on the replay that was on nj world this morning. Hoping it’s replaced with kelly and Callis as they said they were doing it last week Quote
westlondonmist Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 I see they have announced 2 Strong Style Evolved shows, 1 in Milton Keynes and 1 in Altrincham, in roughly 2000 seater venues. I won't be going to either, but am curious as to how much they will charge and who will be on the show. Will this just be the replacement for Global Wars? Quote
TildeGuy~! Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Ishii, Suzuki, Zabre Jr, Ospreay, Scurll and LIJ are all Rev Pro regulars so I can see them being at this event and I went to the British J Cup last year which had the likes of Liger, Taguchi and Kushida involved so I could see them all making the trip.

Quildan has tweeted that tickets will be £20-£75. In terms if who will be on it... most of the roster subsidised by a couple of homegrown, judging by last night's card. Quote

Wonderful if they do. Quote
Paid Members Kaz Hayashi Posted March 26, 2018 Paid Members Posted March 26, 2018 I thought it was a fun event. Great in ring storytelling, generally good - great matches. They tried to feature a bit of everything so I’m not sure if the purest would have fully enjoyed it. It felt a bit like a show that was trying to show off to a new audience and win them over. I was personally happy with that approach. The crowd were spot on too. Very little to raise an eye at. JR and Josh weren’t particularly good, but you could have expected worse from them. I think NJPW need to realise that they aren’t need. The attendance and viewing audience aren’t there because of JR and Josh. I understand the concept that they are recognisable names, however they add nothing. Need some new voices in time for the summer show. Character wise, Cody was on form. As a character he shone more so than anyone else on the card. There were numerous great gimmicks, characters and pops to go with it, but Cody stood out for me. In ring top performer, too much to judge and base it on. Might need to watch it again. Everyone who you assume will be great, was so. I was also very impressed by how on form Liger was. What is he, 56?... moving around like a 26 year old. Amazing. Quote
Paid Members JNLister Posted March 26, 2018 Paid Members Posted March 26, 2018 I don't know why people are dogging on Tim Ross. Good old JB was on top of the task, so leave Mr Robertson alone. Quote
firstnameunknown Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 Good main event, but all in all actually thought that was a fairly boring show last night... Quote

Bukamania Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Is Chase Owens still a member of the Bullet Club? Quote
