W2B, what Jap shit should I catch up on?

[FedEx227]

Can someone do english dubs of Japanese events so I don't have to keep watching WWE bullshit?

[EmpireWF]

I thought chop, chop, lariat, head bump was understandable worldwide.

You need not to understand gook to know what's going on in the land of the rising flippy japs. The story lines are so simple, tards can understand them without English. The matches speak for themselves.

I typically don't sit down and watch wrestling though. I'm usually working and have it on in the background while I glance over occasionally.

Not much going on.

NOAH Tag League & All Japan Champion Carnival just wrapped up, but neither produced anything all that great.

New Japan is laying low atm.

Dragon Gate is about to have a big PPV in a few days. Infinity 254 went up last week, its a long one, and features the KING OF CHOP tournament silliness.

Only must watch is the upcoming DG PPV, honestly.

After a few shows, you dont even hear the announcing anymore. You have to trust me. Pick a promotion (hint: DRAGON GATE) and just start watching everything. It doesnt take long to get acclimated.

Anyway, some of the jap announcers do a better job than the english announcers in terms of getting shit over, and I dont understand one word. Think about that.

Been watching a bunch of late 80s and early 90s All Japan of late. So much greatness.

And Larry is right - you don't need to understand Japanese to be able to watch. I think I've even picked up a bit of the language. Not absolutely certain, but I'm pretty sure that "LLLLLAAAARRRRIIIAAAATTTTTOOOOOOO" translates to Lariat.... probably...

Stan Hansen matches I see.

AmDrag and CM Punk for the WWE Championship at Over the Limit. I want to be excited, but after Wrestlemania I remain guarded.

It's funny to me that just a couple years ago everybody would've scoffed in your face if you stated this as a possibility, just an internet/indie smark with pipe dreams.

[Bigpapa42]

Stan Hansen matches I see.

Some. Quite a bit of stuff with Steve Williams and Terry Gordy, both together and in singles action. Also a ton of the tag matches and six-mans where Misawa, Kawada, and Kobashi began to estalish themselves against Jumbo and Tenryu.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Half way through the "Summer of Punk" DVD from ROH.

Great wrestling television. Too bad it resulted in James Gibson getting the title as a transition...having AmDrag come back and take the title from Punk 30 days earlier would have been fan-fucking-tastic.

Davey Richards in a car accident, will not participate on the NJPW show this weekend so they stripped him and Romero of the tag belts.

[EmpireWF]

Lawler got to piledrive someone on the hard wood.

[Kuzzy Powers]

That piledriver did not look very clean.. on hardwood no less.

Lets get this made people.
