The fucker is surprisingly entertaining. It's amazing what you can do when the WWE isn't making you look like an ass in clown make up.

Hello Cody.

>>2869669
What's good, bub?

>>2869625
He looks really cool when he smokes. Really sets the tone for his smooth stable boss persona.

Ehhhhh
> Are Omega and Cody destined to collide?
I think they're just teasing this to provide intrigue. They just got the Hot Topic Merch deal and the Bucks alluded to something with Converse too. I don't see who goes where in a way that makes sense if they split. The Elite vs everyone else? Fale and Pimp go with the Elite? Cody is just kicked out? The Elite joins Taguchi Japan(kek)? It would be too messy of a breakup from a business/booking standpoint. If they do collide I could see Kenny vs Cody for the US title at WK but I'd rather see them coexist and have Kenny vs Kota for that belt ;-;


> Are Okada's days as IWGP Heavyweight Champion numbered? Yes, he drops it to the G1 winner at WK
> And who is the favourite to go on to the G1 Climax and win the whole thing? Naitowinslol

Ishii winning would be intriguing to me too though

>The Revival put on multiple match of the year candidates
>Hey fuck the revival haha am I right guys?

>>2869580
This is the right answer.

just started watching this for no apparent reason other than the NJPW collab between tekken and okada and bullet club

jesus christ the entrance themes are hype as fuck, way better than wwe's

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7ch-0k-9AM

>>2870936
>not posting a better theme

*drops coin*

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRCwNAC-XA8

>>2870936
it sounds like sf4 character selection music

>>2870936
so the collab honestly made you start watching and you are not memeing?

>>2871209
my favorite one so far i think, okada is a based motherfucker. i kinda spoiled myself by already watching omega and okada's 6 star electric boogaloo but the other ones i've watched have kept me entertained as well

>>2871228
yes, i never really watched wrestling since i was a kid and then the collab happened so i checked it out for curiousity and here i am

>>2871209
Don't get me wrong, I like both, but Naito's definitely gets me more hype. Okada's theme says less "get pumped" and more "this motherfucker's a big deal", at least to me anyway. This underrated conquering emperor's theme tho
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iuNWdv9Y7s&t=182s

>>2871229
protip: you might think people are meming when they say every match with okada is a must see

it isn't a meme, the guy gets the best out of everyone he faces

What are the different factions in New Japan? In know about Bullet Club, but what is Chaos?

Is there anyway to watch every IWGP Heavyweight Championship match from the very first one to the latest one?

>>2874250
subscribe to njpw, duh

>>2874254
>Paying to watch mandrama

Imagine that haha

>>2874254
I'm ready to subscribe the moment someone confirms this. As long as they have every IWGP match in the exact order, I'd shill out money.

>>2869554
With the reaction he got at the special, I would be okay with Cody staging a coup and taking the club heel again. That would allow the Elite to stay face and do their own thing. Maybe that'll force Cody to get a personality.

>>2874326
they already are heels.

>>2869554
>Are Omega and Cody destined to collide.
Probably sometime after the G1 climax they will start the feud over the US title and I wouldn't be surprised if they fight at Wrestle Kingdom next year.
>Are Okada's days as IWGP Heavyweight Champion numbered?
I don't see him holding it for more than a year and it'll probably be either the winner of the G1 or Kenny Omega who will take the title off of him.
>Who is the favourite to go on to the G1 Climax and win the whole thing.
I really want Naito to win it but I'd also be happy with Ishii winning it. I know he won't win but I hope Zack Sabre gets more wins than loses.

>>2874326
They are heels. Kenny will usually cheat during some of his matches to get the upper hand.

>>2869554

> Are Omega and Cody destined to collide?
yes......... for the US championship i guess
> Are Okada's days as IWGP Heavyweight Champion numbered?
depends on gedo's call i guess
> And who is the favourite to go on to the G1 Climax and win the whole thing?
Naito and Omega(again), with Ishii and Goto as the black horses of the tournament

Seems that's what Gedo is booking.
>>Are Okada's days as IWGP Heavyweight Champion numbered?
Yes.
>>And who is the favourite to go on to the G1 Climax and win the whole thing?
Naito and Kenny.

Serious question. Why the fuck put Yoshi-Hashi, A man how has done literally nothing, in the G1 Climax block A instead of someone like Cody or even Barreta since they are moving him up to Heavyweight and something like the G1 would be a good showcase for him.

>>2869554

Yeah but if they are moving him up to the heavyweight division right before the G1 surely entering him in the tournament would help him become established as a singles wrestler with the new japan crowd.

Who is the vet in g1 again? I am not totally familiar with NJPW and trying to make a Climax bracket

man, i really thought omega wasn't all that

turns out he's pretty based in and out of the ring

truly /ourweeb/

>>2881785

in a block is based Nagata, in b block we have good old Kojima-san, Tanahashi and Makabe could be called vets as they well above 40 yrs old

>>2881785
There are several vets, but if you mean old dude who is definitely not winning that would be Kojima and Nagata.

Other "vets" include Tanahashi(think Japanese John Cena), Ishii, Makabe, Suzuki, Yano(NOT winning the whole thing but can beat anyone and sell a million dvds at the same time) and I suppose Goto.

Then you have the current age top guys like Okada, Kenny, and Naito

And a bunch of cannon fodder and guys looking to prove themselves in Yoshi Hashi, Tama, Fale, Juice, Elgin, ZSJ(boo), Evil and Sanada

Also, Based Freelancer Ibushi

that i would like to see

he's a fucking freak. still raw at this point, but if you give the guy a decent gimmick, he could be unstoppable

>>2881948
It's funny as hell watching this monster sell for wrestlers much smaller than him and not obliterate them because he's a young lion and it's his job as a rookie to basically be a jobber bitch. He's already in his thirties so it would behoove New Japan to quickly bump Kitamura out of the young lion phase because he could be a star based on his physique alone.

He's similar to Brock and Batista, he has an amateur wrestling background like Brock, but Brock was already WWE champion when he was 25 years old. Kitamura is 31 years old and he started training in the NJPW dojo in 2015, Batista was around 30 years old when he showed up in OVW

Nah, Kitamura and Oka both joined the Dojo in early 2016. You remember when they were both unveiled at the pre-WK10 festival. So it's probably been a bit under 18 months since he started training.

just like my japanese animes but 10 times better

>>2886927

busted my bracket because goto winning over ishii and bad rack whare winning (why i pick makabe anyway)

b block looks fine from last night tag matches (the only unclear matchups are Tama - Elgin because they don't meet on last night tag match). i expect good match from suzuki-omega and SANADA-EVIL bouts

>>2890034
I'm genuinely worried that Yano is going to win over Okada this Thursday. His meme powers are strong.

Also, Naito's Destino is the sickest fucking finisher in NJPW.

>>2890155
Did you see that press conference? With those DVD sales Gedo has realized that Yano is the global future, not Omega.

Yano hits the rainmaker on Okada for the win, screenshot this.

Ok guys, after last night's WWE atrocity with Kurt and the American Beta guy, I admit it, as an E-Drone, or should I say, a former E-Drone, Shin Nihon Puroresu is obviously superior.

After I cancelled my WWE Network earlier today, I thought to myself why don't I subscribe to NJPWWorld? I've watched 2 matches from WK (Naito vs Tanahashi, and Okada vs Omega) and I was blown away, sure I didn't admit it at first, but fuck it now, those 2 matches were the best thing to happen in my wrestling life since the Attitude Era.

So, to anyone who's subscribed, can you help me with something? Does the NJPWWorld provide every single IWGP Heavyweight Championship match from the very first one to the last one? And are they arranged in a chronological order or I have to look-up the matches myself? I'd rather not spoil the outcome of the matches by searching them.

>>2893395
>Does the NJPWWorld provide every single IWGP Heavyweight Championship match from the very first one to the last one?

Nope

Okay, so what matches are the must watch ones from Day 1? You can say all the G1 matches.

>>2893395
Watch the rest of the WK card.
Shibata v Goto are great, Takahashi v Kushida is AWESOME.
GoD v GBH v Yano+Ishii is super fun, watch it after some hard hitting match.

Watch every single Jr. Heavyweight championship match, they are great this year.

All HW title matches are also great. You can go chronologically if you go to listing for WK on all matches. And just go forward in time.

>>2896007
Also you can start with G1, it's great starting point, you'd just be missing on storylines fro the belts and wrestlers.

Ask me if you want some more info on specific wrestlers, I can fill out the blanks with stories from this year and years before if it is relevant for specific matches.

>>2895553
Now that's disappointing
I guess I'll just search the matches on google or dailymotion or something

>>2896019
I don't want to watch WK IWGP HW Championship matches only, I want to watch every single HW championship match that ever happened on NJPW

>>2896043
Ah, in that case, on the old website was a filter for that, dunno if it's there now. And I don't think they can have all of them.

Some of the wrestlers disputed their right to have them on their streaming service. I don't know if for example Brock Lesnar's matches are there.

>>2896046
>>2896043
I think you can go to wiki page, find out who was against whom and try to search the guy's name on the site. If he's there and that match was under the NJPW banner, the match itself should be on the site as well.

As I said there are some disputes about some wrestlers and their allowance to be on their streaming service.

>>2896007
Oh you on that day one ish? I think there's a shit for that! Come back to the WWE, please.

>>2896072
Hmmm... no. I haven't watched Raw or Smackdown since before Mania. The only thing I feel like I've missed are these fantastic Lesnar, Joe moments I hear about.

>>2896106
>fantastic
pfahahahaha

New Japan World has only day 1 right?

>>2897631
Day 2 is tonight/tomorrow, so yeah.

Timezone converters say G1 day 2 starts at 6:30am Atlantic (utc -4) and while that seems fine to me it's a little confusing because that's when day 1 ended, is that right?

What are the steps one should take to get into NJPW?

I saw some Kenny Omega stuff and the dude looks like he deserves to be the next big thing. I like Okada too.

>>2898877
Start with WK11 then proceed to watch every major show thereafter. You can find the PPV list on Wikipedia

OR you can jump in right now in the G1 Climax, which is a month long tournament. Tonight is Day 2, so just watch Day 1 and you'll be prepared.

I'd suggest buying NJPW World so you can support the company, but if you watch your shit free, well the better stuff isn't that hard to find.

I am czechanon as well and I am flying to Tokyo for Dome show. I will be staying there for a week or something like that, I already have chosen several shows I will be going to at Kouraken.
And also I DMed several gaijin wrestlers to ask them where to go for a beer after the show.

And in spring I think RPW is having another NJPW crosspromoted show so I am driving to England for that as well.

And as any other czechanon knows, there is basically no wrestling in Czechia the nearest good indie shows are WxW in Western Germany.

>>2907802

I wouldn't be shocked if they did. NOAH had a couple back in the glory days and I could see Ospreay/Scurll/Sabre pushing for it.

>>2909871
RevPro are having awesome matches there with NJPW wrestlers against best UK based indie guys. Shibata's matches ( :((( ) were especially good.
