Wrestling Thread Jan 5-18 | 1/16 New Japan Debuts on AXS 9pm et - Tanahashi v Okada 2013

[mr highness]

This is a pretty cheesy storyline so far. I honestly don't know where they're going with this. Whatever happened to those more dramatic soap operas?

 

[joeyxfresco]

Lol

Scumbag Cena

 

[celticspride34]

Just read the results...



And y'all still watch that garbage... When VKM said they weren't a wrestling company.. He was so right...

So glad i saved WK9 to watch after RAW bc that crap I just watched was AWFUL

 

[ao17]

Of course. Dude no sold terminations in 2010 and 2011; why bother even trying.

Serious question Marks! With NJPW & WK9, I see that there were a lot of requests for English links, so it'd be fair to assume that these things are always in Japenese. With that premise are you guys actually aware of the storylines and builds for each match. Or are you simply watching for the workrate and actual wrestling?

First off, my update for @Degenerate423  - I am waiting on an item to be delivered to me.  It should be to me later this week.  Assuming all in on track, you will have your NTWT SS gifts by the end of next week.  Again, I apologize for the delay, but consider it an early Royal Rumble gift instead.

All good, man.  I appreciate the updates and I'm happy to wait because I know it's gonna be the best SS gift aside from what my elf got, of course.  Royal Rumble is gonna be trash, I'll consider it an early show after Wrestlemania gift

Naito does a great job working Ibushi's leg for seven minutes and Kota gets an adrenaline rush and hits a few flying spots. He limps around a little afterward but I would've liked to seen lil time pass before he started doing his spots to sell the leg pain and story more.

Workrwte wrestling and the story in the ring. I love the Japanese commentary even though I have no clue what they're saying. So much energy and zeal.

Just finished up Nakamura/Ibushi from WK9. Ibushi's kicks are fierce, hell of a match.

[HNL HI]

That match is better than their WK9 match imo.

Naito gets right back to working on that leg. Hits a cool springboard drop kick to Ibushi's injured leg. Would like to see some better transitions though from Ibushi selling to using his flying spots. Good finish, Ibushi hit his crazy move from the top rope but for a match where his leg was worked for 80% of it, kind of was a little far fetched.

I've been watching non-WWE stuff for years without knowing storylines, so the commentary doesn't matter to me, I just one the matches to be good. I usually just hit wiki or tumblr for storyline/gimmick info

Finally watched the match. Very refreshing man. 

RAW sucked. Final segment was cringeworthy.

 

[degenerate423]

Nattie looking good .

Nikki with the almost-Jobber entrance .

As soon as I get some time this week, I'll watch WK9. You guys hyped it up so much, I hope it delivers .

 

[robpzee612]

Reigns and Show match put me to sleep.

 

[andoneflip]

Nikki is so damn hot cena is a lucky man. Brie is hot also.

 

[3dgarfly23]

seen the Nakamura match with the Japanese commentary and Jim Ross / Matt commentary .......



japanese commentary >>>>>

 

[Good Ol J.R]

Need the Nakamura/Steen and Angle matches peas and tanks
