So far we know "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Yuji Nagata, and "The Unchained Gorilla" Togi Makabe are confirmed. Time will tell if Tetsuya Naito or any of the other members of Los Ingobernables de Japon will show up. But already it's a good start.

Tiger Mask: post-WW2 Japanese orphan does Hell Training at a Evil Sport Corporation because he was tired of being weak. This includes fighting real life wild animals with bare hands.
To repay them, he has to be the evilest motherfucker on a wrestling mat, which includes causing actual harm to his adversaries. As in, breaking their teeth with a ringbell(just to start)

But he's still a nice guy under all the blood of his adversaries, so he ends up trying to reform because the new kids of his old orphanage.
TRYING is the keyword, because "fighting fairly" has been beaten out of him, literally.

The whole series is basically him trying to learn how to fight without trying to straight up murder his adversaries, while the Evil Organization keeps sending killer wrestlers against him

>>147995876
>>147996115
AJ has been the best wrestler in the world since Bryan's retirement. I was speaking more in how Omega is viewed. West interest lessened when AJ left and Omega has been trying to get it to return. That G1 performance made him a made man imo just like it did AJ, all he has to do now is GOAT it up with Okada at WK.
>>
>>147992070
You need a thick neck in wrestling for bridges
also so you can botch SSPs and not die
>>
>>147995459
Yeah, sure. But my point is that the only people who think NJPW is the best wrestling company in the world are the ones who just know AJ, Nakamura and BC because they saw them in the wwe
>>
>>147994177
>Italy fused with the East
Visual representation of what's going on here.

The difference between AJ and Omega is that Omega is too quick to fall on his "nerdy" tendencies when he is not in a BIG match.

AJ just carries himself better on a show-by-show basis

I see what you mean, yeah. I expect his match with Okada to really put a full stop on what has been a fantastic 12 months for him. Assuming that doesn't somehow change in the upcoming shows, which I really don't expect it to.

>>147996310
Realistically what's actually better though?

I like EVOLVE but Timothy's run as a champion has been underwhelming to say the least.
>>
I'm pretty sure murder is against the rules in wrestling.
>>
>>147996801
Can't say I'm well versed in Lucha, so I'll take your word for 1 and 3. El Eonsejo is CMLL right? Evolve has a cold as fuck champ right now, though Galloway et. al. are killing it and I dig Riddle, but I still feel NJPW has better top to bottom cards right now.
>>
>>147996979
Guess again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2MUUYRPAIM
>>
>>147996733
nope. that's the FACE Tiger.

>>147996979
that never stopped Tiger's Den: they make money out of illegal bet pools, where murder is classified as a win
>>
>>147996921
>>147996801
I'll say this though, EVOLVE has a really hot angle though it's completely misguided on who are the "face" and the "heel" on it.
>>
>>147996921
>>147997039
Even if his title run is absolute dogshit, Thatcher doesn´t deserve all the shit he's getting. And gulak and riddle are among the best wrestlers in the world.
>>
>>147997096
Ironic that you'd say that and post a video of Misawa giving a move.
>>
>>147997182
I know right. Only posted it because it's the Tiger Driver and the announcer is screaming about murder.

Also it's arguably the GOAT singles wrestling match of all time.
>>
>>147997154
I mean Thatcher wrestles almost exclusive for EVOLVE nowadays and for like 6 months most of his matches are just nothing.
And i say that as someone who likes the Thatcher vs Catch Point feud on paper.

Also i can just watch Gulak on Chikara
>>
>>147997294
Dunno if you will be able to soon, since he's been on RAW.
Would actually be quite a loss for Chikara at this point if Gulak couldn't be there anymore

Also Hallowicked/Gulak is a MOTY candidate and you shouldn't have to spoiler Chikara like it's a bad thing.
>>
>>147997536
Well because Gulak besides being Gulak in Chikara he is another character there that i'm not sure everybody knows
>>
>>147991749
>>147996222
It's Daijiro Kato, died in 2003 after a crash in Japan GP. Number 74.
>>
>>147997536
IRC meltzer said that neither gulak or nese are signed
>>
>>147994845
BAH GAWD STOP THE DAMN MATCH
>>
>>147997580
Yeah. to lose him and his masked alias would be quite bad.

>>147997676
I mean I know he's still booked on evolve shows, but that might not mean much. Would be nice to see him around elsewhere still, but the guy deserves to be a star.
>>
Fucking pussy ran away.
>>
>>147997747
IIRC the referee was already launched outside the mat...

by the way, the fights being TOO bloody was an actual serious plot-point\problem in the original series
>>
>>147997819
Gulak and Kendrick are the only ones in the cruiserweight division that don't work a flippy style, add swann and you have the only ones that have some sort of gimmick. He'll be fine.
>>
>>147994419
Draaaaaaaaaven
>>
>>147996601
>>147997039
Eh it's hard to say the booking in CMLL is good, all the dumb backstage politics is more interesting than what happens in the show. I would say they have the best wrestling in Mexico right now though. Dragon Gate tends to have a better good matches per card ratio than NJPW thought that's not hard to do because of the 8man tag hell NJPW doesn't want to walk away from. The british indie scene is really good too, don't be afraid to pirate some shows. One of them Progress Wrestling tends to have better cards than NJPW with wrestling on the same level.
>>
>>147977234
What a dickhead
>>
>>147998246
I was at chapter 36, so I can kind of agree on Progress. Dragon Gate has the best BIG shows, but I think NJPW trumps them overall.
>>
I prefer DDT when it comes to Puro honestly.
>>
>>147998536
People sure bitched a shit ton about the destruction shows they had recently, I honestly skipped like 80% of the show when I watched them too. I honestly only watch the big shows for dragon gate though, but only because they're the easiest to find online.
>>
>>147998583

>>
>>147975711

>>147998856
I dunno, stardom roster is too thin

Thats also my main problem with Dragon Gate
>>
>>147983264
Yeah I'm following most western wrestling shows. But I'm completely lost when it comes to japa. But basics are okada is currently the champ, in the biggest promotion in Japan.
>>
>>147983889
Oh shit. He keeps working himself into a shoot?
>>
>>147999141
Still not as bad as modern AJPW.
>>
Do I have to watch anything else to be able to watch this? I'm completely lost at what's going on this thread.
>>
>>147999473
It's a reboot so no, the guys are just using the show as an excuse to post off-topic about Pro-Wrestling IRL.
>>
>>147999473
You just need to know what is wrestling. That's it.

>But basics are okada is currently the champ
Another thing you may want to know is that Tanahashi (he'll show up too) is the former champ, and somewhat former ace of Japan (Okada is the current ace). Being the ace is equivalent to what Cena was during 2006-2012. There's a lot of paralels between Cena and Tanahashi, like the age, but also the memes (Tanawinslol). But overall, Tana always delivers on big matches, so people don't hate him as much as Cena (Cena is just now delivering great matches, and the smarky community has learnt to respect him in the last few years, but booing him is still too much fun).

HARUNA WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING

This little girl must have massive balls.

Seriously, Tiger's Den being Tiger's Den, if Miss X wasn't so flabbergasted by Tiger Mask's entrance, you'd think she'd be strangling Haruna with her whip by now.

>>147999473
All you really need to know is this:
- in Tiger Mask, professional wrestling is a serious and very violent bloodsport - yes, I said BLOODsport
- Tiger's Den is a supervillain organization whose wrestlers are heels, legitimately evil, trained to be so through deadly, inhumane routines, and who cheat all the damn time, so expect hidden blades in their boots or gloves; Yellow Devil in this episode was the perfect example of your typical Tiger's Den masked wrestler
- the protagonist and titular character is a humanitarian, selfless hero who has no intention of letting Tiger's Den kill anyone or using their methods against them if he can help it
- the original Tiger Mask was so humanitarian he fought for the sake of an orphanage, and as soon as this anime was announced, a charity race was started by fans of ye olden series, as you can see, the Tiger continues to inspire such altruism

>>148003259

I like Tigers, the romantic idea/performance behind wrestling and champions of justice who protect the meek. I cannot stop liking this, no matter how unpromising the anime could be.

And there's something on the lyric "in this mat of the jungle" that makes me all giddy.

>>147975711

I just watched the original and I spent the entire series repeating the words "This is reddit, this is memes, this is reddit, this is memes..." under my breath.

I fucking hated it. I was writhing around on the floor in front of my sofa for the last 30 episodes it was so painful.

>Ayy epic retro wrestler lmao

Well it's less a story about wrestling and more a story about two young men on diverging paths for the same revenge that happens to be in the wrestling ring.

The ending is so great that I have to wonder if it would work better as an opening

Maybe its because of the 70's style reboot, or that I haven't noticed any reboots since then, but I'm getting massive Abarenbou Rikishi Matsutaro vibes from this. Though I hope I won't drop it like I did Matsutaro because Wrestling is campy enough to enjoy, while I don't think Matsutaro actually sumo'd until like episode 8, after which I swiftly dropped it.

Nah, not really at least. My father used to say American wrestling was only for entertainment but utterly fake and the real deal was the japanese league. This because he was a "tiger mask" fan (he was in his twenties when they started broadcasting tiger mask in Italy, so basically in the early 80's), so probably he thought the japanese league was violent as fuck back then. American Wrestling become extremely popular in Italy during the 2000

That was a fun first episode.
Pretty good OP and ED as well.

>>148042974

Unfortunately, being deliberately bad generally isn't more interesting than the other kind of bad. Tiger Mask W's cheap look may be intentional, but it's still off-putting - the characters aren't expressive at all, and action scenes rely on the over-the-top drama of their fundamentals (Tiger Mask just threw a bear!) over any power of execution. That's a major flaw, considering Tiger Mask W's storytelling is just as basic as its visual style. If you're going for campy bombast, you can't just rely on nostalgia - modern throwbacks like JoJo may feel archaic in some ways, but they complement that old-fashioned energy with legitimately compelling execution.

Meaning that in the end, nostalgia is really all Tiger Mask W has going for it. It's not an overtly frustrating show or anything, it's just a cheap-looking and clumsily written one.

Am I the only one that thought the writing was kinda poor? The style and all the aesthetics are growing on me the more I look at them, but the episode had a really rushed pace and assumed that everybody watching just knew why all these things and people were important. Feels like half an episode's worth of exposition and backstory was cut. Perhaps we'll get flashbacks of how Tiger Mask and Tiger the Dark were when they were friends. I'll definitely keep watching for wacky wrestling shonen fun, though.

Yellow Devil is a Tiger's Den fighter.
All referees know them have no problem whatsoever to just attack anybody interferring with the fight.

Being disqualified is counted as a "victory" for Tiger's Den.


Bloody hell I really hope somebody translate the original anime(or, at very least, the manga) for the english-speaking crowd.

>>148058097
The Big Boss of Tiger's Den was Tiger The Great(but only in the anime: in the manga he was just a mob, not a wrestler).
Black Tiger was one of the Three Leaders alongside Big Tiger and King Tiger. King Tiger was supposed to be the actual "boss" of them three but they were pretty much on the same standing.


A really nice thing of the original Tiger Mask is Tiger's Den just throwing away their outdated Training From Hell regime for a more modern system. Still hellish, but not USELESSLY hellish(comes out letting people actually sleep and eat on a regular basis does wonders to improve their bodies): they were PROFESSIONAL and keeping update with modern training techniques was an important thing. In fact, with their new regime, their fighters were even stronger than before, if slighlty less resilient to being stabbed in the back by broken benchs.

It was a really progressive show, telling new methods can give result as good if not better than traditional methods.
>>
Here's to hoping this makes someone translate the manga fully. I've always been interested in Tiger Mask but could never get into it.
>>
>>147996601
>Realistically what's actually better though?

NJPW is basically WWE with much better ME Booking. The bulk of the card is put-together and fairly brass-tacks.
For consistent weekly products, I like LU, which dances the line of ridiculous TV show and wrestling show, and Smackdown, which my friend told me to get into since WWE had a brand split recently, and I've been pleasantly surprised. It's way better than when I stopped watching in like '12.
