[Warner2BruceTD]

G1 presser with subtitles

Lots of wacky nicknames ("The Man With the Worst Personality in the World", "Noble Master Thief", etc), and some amusing promos.

Introductions start around 4:50

Night One:

Night Two:

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Remember how Night Two was being touted as Show of the Year?

It took two days for New Japan to top themselves. HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

This company.

Night four from Osaka: http://www.voicesofwrestling.com/2013/08/04/new-japan-g1-2013-osaka-review-njpw-tops-itself-again/

"Another amazing show from New Japan. This is shaping up as the greatest G1 in history. Two nights after Korakuen got Best Show of the Year buzz, Osaka tops it with multiple MOTY contenders and a red hot crowd. It’s starting to sound like a broken record, but go out of your way to watch this, particularly the Ishii/Shibata match onward. If you aren’t watching New Japan these days, you are missing out on a special place & time in the history of pro wrestling."

A perfect gif.

Look, they couldn't all be winners.

Fuck that crowd. If you ever imagined a what a wrestling show would be like in a library, well here you go.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Preach on, brother Machine Gun:

LOL...

Night 6, or "Standings are a Jumbled Mess" night

Karl Anderson liked the crowd better. So did I.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Tenzan (broken ribs) & Goto (broken jaw) pull out of G1. Both will forfeit their three remaining matches. Booking is obviously fucked.

Can I still bulk purchase these?

I'm thinking of doing a binge watch this weekend.

Yes, they are all available until like 8/19 VOD.

They are also popping up everywhere for free, but you have to hurry because New Japan is hunting them down.

Korakuen (N2) & Osaka (N4) are legit show of the year contenders and Osaka is going to go down as an all time iconic show. There are kick ass matches on every show. Ishii is killing it. Archer was great early. Plus the usual suspects like Okada, Tanahashi, etc. Kojima really stepped up his game. Yujio is a fucking riot. Devitt's matches are all fun american style shitfests. Lots of stuff worth watching. Pressed for time, avoid Tenzan, skip Shelton, and most of the openers & second matches are toned down (relatively speaking).

I'll be binge watching...so...I am sure it'll require a lot of fast forward. Also need to watch PWG Is Your Body Ready which has an HOUR LONG IRON MAN MATCH with Adam Cole and Sami Callihan...kinda not looking forward to that one.

Oh, forgot to mention my boy DBS Jr. He's simply fantastic, best rest holds in the business and he tosses m'fers around like rag dolls.

BIG APPEAL

Joe didn't watch live but I put together a quick results/recap post.

Is he going hard cam side on the rest holds though? If not, doesn't know how to work.

Nope. What a greenhorn.

Get this - the director actually has to switch over to one of the other 19 cameras they have set up to catch the action. God. Can you believe this amateur hour shit?

 

[FedEx227]

I'm done watching New Japan!

These friggin' Japs don't know HOW to work. Flips, everyone looks the same, I hate it.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

The BIG APPEAL meme comes from the DBS Jr interview with Alvarez & big dave, when he was telling them how Suzuki didn't really like him that much at first, and when he asked him for advice he laid in to him.

"You big, strong. Do big power, then BIG APPEAL! Stick out tongue, middle finger, flex big muscle. BIG APPEAL!"

So you can thank Suzuki for bringing out all that charisma. WWE couldn't figure this out, and stuck him in a COWBOY HAT on Superstars.

 

[FedEx227]

Dude he's so good, the more I watch him the more I fall in love. Just oozes charisma now, really works the strong style well, great mannerisms and facials. Night and day from what he was. Hard to believe it's the same person.
