I want to get into NJPW but don't know where to start. Any suggestions? Also, how does NJPW differ from the WWE. Is there anything I need to know going into this?
I just started somewhere and worked my way back. But I heard 2013 Wrestle Kingdom is a good beginning, with the Tanahashi vs Okada saga.

Watch matches on DailyMotion: Omega vs Naito from G1 last year, Okada vs Marufuji (G1 match first then their match at King of Pro Wrestling) from last year.
If you like those, get a subscription to NJPW World (they have an English option on their site now so it's easy to navigate).

They can't. That was a mediocre spotfest.

To be fair, there are people who think the Okada vs. Omega matches were bad.
Two women could have the best match in the world and some miserable git would still claim women's wrestling is shit and not "real wrestling".

How did you feel about the name change from WWF to WWE in 2002?
Obviously it was because a British wildlife charity objected to the use of the 'WWF' accronym and after years of court disputes Vince agreed to change the name to WWE. I remember being annoyed by it because I much preferred 'WWF' over 'WWE', though I still semi-followed wrestling for a year or two afterwards.
In retrospect the name change makes sense symbolically because the new national wrestling landscape had moved on from the end of the Monday Night Wars and the resulting product was neither WWF, WCW, nor ECW - so the new name represented a different company.
It was the beginning of the decline
I liked it because of the "get the f out" tagline.

Was he really over as in "he's great and I want to see him on TV more often" or over as in "do da Worm and get done with it"?
