About time

Today's topic: Will Cody defeat Rainmaker to become IWGP Heavyweight Champion?

>>2819997
Is that a question that needs a human to ponder or something? Definitely not.

>>2819997
Okada wins. Gedo books almost a year in advance. He will lose the belt eventually to Omega or Naito. I can't see anybody else in the IWGP title picture.

>>2819997
Yes.

>>2819997
Can anyone explain how Cody getting a title shot is logical?

Everyone always talks about how logical the booking in when all Cody did was a run in on Okada?

>>2820012
Cody has been undefeated and has several singles victories.

>>2819997
Omega's been built up as the next guy, and he doesn't need a swerve and winning it off Cody when he and Okada print money anyway. Cody might have first shot at Omega after Okada's return match.

>>2820021
Technically he lost a tag match but you're right in being undefeated in singles

When is Long Beach day 1 gonna be on NJW?

It begins...

Who is going after the Intercontinental Belt now that Tanahashi has it? I mean after Billy Gunn loses at the G-1 Special.

Watching the G-1 Special press conference and ZSJ talks just like Milo...

>>2820043
Tanahashi will lose some matches in the G1. Those will be the next challengers.

Omega vs Elgin
Naito vs Ishii
Looking forward to these two matches the first night at the G-1 Special. It is going to be great!

>>2820066
Juice vs ZSJ is also going to be great. They are both going to try to impress

>>2820073
I am hoping that Okada vs Cody is worthy of a champion vs champion match.

>>2820037
G-1 Special Night 1 begins 8PM EST and 5PM PST.

You have to have AXS TV to watch it in the US for Night 1, but it will stream on NJPW World for the rest of the world. Night 2 will be on NJPW World for everybody.

>>2819987
About fucking time

>>2820043
He will either lose it to Zack or Ibushi since they will probably be the ones who pin him for title matches.

>>2820089
Cody is going to try his best and Okada is Okada. It'll be good.

Bushi, El Desperado, Jushin Thunder Liger, Tiger Mask IV. So four.

There are plenty of NJPW matches on DailyMotion, and if you like those sign up for NJPWWorld. They have an english option so it is easy to sign up.

Is there a NJPW PPV tonight? Is so what time eastern standard time?

>>2820236
No, but there is a big show tomorrow and the day after. It airs on AXS TV if you are in the US and on NJPW World outside of the US. 8PM (EST) and 5PM (PST).

>>2820209
>I don't want people to know I watch wwe because they'll make fun of me

You hear that e-drones? Sad!

Anyway OP, you won't have to worry about people making fun of you for watching NJPW. New Japan treat it as a sport so people will just think it's boxing or a fight you're watching on TV/PC if they catch you.

>>2820222
awesome! thanks anon

>>2820251
Day 2 (Sunday) will be on NJPW World for everybody and for the US (if you don't have AXS TV) Day 1 should be on NJPW World on Sunday.

>>2820253

I had a couple of my friends over my apartment and I decided to boot up Naito vs. Omega from last year's G1 to my TV. My friends are all casual WWE fans and they were all blown away by how action packed this New Japan match was

So even casuals can enjoy the New Japan matches because of the intensity and minimal bullshit

>>2820222
>>2820253

>>2820281
Yeah they see it and don't have to listen to 20 minute promos and bullshit, just cool wrestling.

>>2820023

Naito is built up as the next guy.

>>2826916
if he wins the IWGP US title, which it looks likely unless they do something cringe like have Lethal win, then I don't know what this means for him going forward. i thought he might have a shot at winning G1 again. but if he wins the aforementioned title, are they really going to push him over in G1 again and win the IWGP Heavyweight title this time? Cause I'm pretty sure he does want to win it. He wants to be relied on and be pushed to expand NJPW in the States.

>>2826937
Lethal won't win. He already has the excuse of busted ribs. Kenny is going to beat him.

>>2826916
Once he realizes that Naito is winning the G1 and he will stuck in the undercard after his match with Ibushi... his mind will change.

>>2826964
I can see Cody costing Kenny the match against Lethal.

>>2826976
>Naito is winning the G1
Good.

What are the good NJPW youtube channels?
Rassslin' Rantin', Real Neat Puro, and Showbuckle are the best that I have found.

Looks like The Elite is getting kicked out of the Bullet Club
>They're already starting to tease a feud between Kenny and Cody
>Kenny keeps getting cheered by the Japanese crowds and he basically cut a babyface promo last night.
>Splitting up Kenny and The Young Bucks would be a retarded idea since The Elite is the only reason the bullet club is still relevant.

>>2826978
Lethal maybe joining the BC then? I don't see him winning his last match with his injuries especially against Ishii.

>>2826992

Lethal isn't joining the BC, if anything, Cody will cost Kenny the main event match against Ishii

I have to say I watched DOMINION with my roommate who doesn't really like wrestling. And It was better than any wwe I've seen in years can't believe it wasn't just a meme

>>2829273
He was being pushed down the card for a few years, elevating the IC belt. He probably didn't want to be Shibata'ed and wanted to work in the US. He signed a 3 year deal for "main event money", so he'll be 40 with over 15 years wrestling by the end of it. Decent exit strategy.

>>2834935
>Shibata'ed

Their situations aren't even remotely parallel

>>2834935
What Shibataed means? Does it mean coming back after being disloyal during the time when company needed him the most and getting steady push?
Getting redeeming storyline with his best friend? Having matches with Tanahashi, the guy who dissed him so much in his book for traitor he was?
Having matches with Third generation for a whole year so he proves as a good wrestler to them?
Having fucking 4 year long storyline with Okada who told him to win New Japan cup, then we can talk?
That's fucking awesome story. And if he hasn't gotten injured he was beating Okada during G1 and challenging for the belt during third most important show of the year in fall probably. Or maybe even winning G1 in finals with Okada. If he ever comes back, he's in the main title picture immediatly. (if he can go or can take bumbs at all)

Someone give me the skinny. What is G1?

>>2835194
It's a round robin tournament.

Winner gets a match for the IWGP Heavyweight Title at next year's Wrestle Kingdom

>>2835204
Oooo... sounds delicious. Are these matches on TV first and can I watch them on NJPWW? I recently signed up.

>>2835215
They're all on NJPWorld. You can even watch them live if you want.

>>2835194
And by the way only new matchups you have seen during this week that were completely new and were burned were Juice v ZSJ and Ishii v ZSJ.

I think ZSJ is winning his second match during G1, cause he knows how to beat Ishii now, so don't be suprised.

And Juice is great fiery babyface you just have to root for, his matches will be GREAT in G1. I want to see him succeed but I know he will loose most of his matches, he will win maybe one or two and it will be fucking awesome.

It's pretty tiring to watch all G1, btw skip undercard during G1 shwos, those are only tag matches with guys not having singles that night. They are used to build feuds, but they are not necessary and are really same old same old. And you will get burned out by too much wrestling.

suzuki is such a sweet guy outside of the ring
look on his twitter and instagram, it's all him goofing around
ALSO suzuki showed up in DDT (a mostly comedy promotion) and just put on a hilarious match a few days ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGPp94whB3k

>>2842196
suzuki's stuff in DDT is GOAT, the match vs. mecha mummy in a river is 10/10

>>2826992
dude... lethal is part time LIJ. he'd never waste that and join bland club.

>>2842432
No, he's not. He got kicked out. Keep up with the times.

>>2841813
>Suzuki will never be your cool uncle and help you picking up chicks

So Naito... his gimmick is he's an asshole?

>>2842646
From a shallow first time viewing, yes.

But his character depth goes back several years, and still hasn't come full circle with why he is the way he is.

>>2842646
his gimnick is being spanish, japanese love that attitude because they never will be that, but they really wanted to do it

People keep defacing it but the city keeps fixing it. One guy wore a city worker outfit and used a jackhammer on it, wew.

First time I watched this was the G1 in the US. Tanahashi felt like a BIG deal, it's weird seeing an IC level champ with that much respect.

to be fair, tanahashi was the guy before okada came into the hw title picture

>>2845396
Which, it should be noted, was very recently

>>2845396
That explains why he seemed like a cool vet. I'm liking these champions and the way they carry themselves. Okada looks like the shit.

>>2845395
Imagine if on the cooking board, someone started a thread about a small restraunt chain they enjoy and someone posted "Get your non-McDonalds, Indy restraunt off my board! Referee!"

>>2845396
So he's like the John Cena. And Okada is Roman.

from the moment he showed interest in japan, how long in seconds would it take for big sexy to hold the title?

id say somewhere between 12 and 30

>>2845391
They try so hard to be counter to counter culture that they go all the way back around to being full blown WWE marks without even realizing it and insisting that they aren't.

>>2845843

So he can become the lowest drawing IWGP champion ever as well?

BTFO by facts. This is just Nash's WWF numbers not his WCW numbers at his peak.

>>2845868
>MUH HOUSE SHOWS

In reality:
>However, the keynote Pay-Per-View numbers were down across the board during Diesel’s reign, with the Survivor Series where he finally lost the title doing the worst of all.

They even pushed him off the main event and replaced him with some cocaine addict from the NFL for Wrestlemania XI because he was that much of a shit draw.

Tana is the guy who salvaged NJPW from brink of closing, even the third generations were grateful to him and gave full control of talents and pre-booking matchups.

Also, look how godly likeable he is inside and outside the ring, EVEN HIS ANIMATED SELF IS A LIKEABLE GUY. truly one in a century talent

>>2845993
The fuck you smoking? He's no Nakamura

>>2846010
>He's no Nakamura
You're right, Tanahashi is better than Nakamura.

>>2846010
Tanahashi is better than Shinstain Nakameme

>>2846064
Neck yourself.

>>2845836
The comparison's been made. Roman could've been WWE's Okada if they were only competent at booking him.

>>2846080
What's the difference? Okada almost always wins, hasn't has a loss in over 10 matches.

>>2846079
Poses with one arm held high
"AISHTEMASU!"

>>2846061
Not even in his dreams.

>>2846093

correction, he hasn't lost in a singles match, he lost countless tag match (especially if he's partnering with gedo) to build up his singles match

>>2845993
Ah! He's more like Taker then. He stuck with Vince through thick and thin the Monday Night War and was pretty much made president of the locker room. Tanahashi is the Undertaker of New Japan.

>>2846093
Meanwhile in the WWE you have to cleanly beat the champion to get a title shot.

>>2846102
it only counts if it's a direct pinfall in puroresu

What's the next PPV?

>>2848929
It's the G1 final right?

>>2849075
We will finally get that Ibushi vs Omega match R-right?

>>2849289
New to this so I haven't seen that match. Sounds like fun.

Anyone regulars want to tell me if there's any chance for a Bullet Club Civil War between Omega and Cody?

>>2849848
Seems unlikely right now, since the G1 it's the most important thing for Omega and Cody as ROH champ needs to stay in the US

>>2849075
>>2848929

Pretty much every day of the G1 is treated like a PPV. And 7 out of the 19 shows will have English commentary this year (the first 4 and the last 3).

>>2849834
Omega vs Ibushi in DDT was a few years ago
both of them hadn't hit their prime then but it was fucking amazing.
