Goddamnit matt striker is ******* awful. I would sooner watch a match with commentary I cant understand than listen to that campaigner.

I used to be that way about him and he damn near spoiled wrestle kingdom 9 for me but I have found him to be really good at LU.

All-Star Extravaganza 7 was a great show. There was some bad production quality throughout, especially when they were playing music. On the video side of things though, they're improving. I couldn't have cared less about ACH v Matt Sydal and it quickly lost my attention, but Moose vs Cedric Alexander was surprisingly good IMO.

Listening to Nakamura and Okada's respective themes back to back always gives me chills.

Watched Ring of Honor for the first time, it was this week's episode. It wasn't bad, I enjoyed the relative simplicity/cheapness. Kevin Kelly still lives too! 
TNA must be ******* fuming Destination America puts it on after their show.

One thing concerns me about NJPW. Okada is the only decent local talent under 30. I'd love to see some up and comers. Even Bullet Club has Cody Hall.
Was very surprised to read Ibushi is 33. Seems much younger.

Considered a rising star for them too.
That said I am just now realising it's not that old.

I do have to wonder if NJPW plan to have more HWC contenders than Okada, Tanahashi (who can't compete for it while Okada is champ) and Styles.

Found tons of AJPW videos on Dailymotion. Gonna take a while to get through them.

Not sure if there is any PWG fans in this thread but this years Battle of Los Angeles is up on Youtube. Pretty fun shows that are worth a watch, lots of talent from LU/AAA/Rev Pro came across for the 3 nights.
Might help to use a youtube downloader because I can't imagine they will be up for long.

And a heads up for anyone interested that Kevin Kelly and Matt Striker provided commentary. An ok show. Slightly underwhelming but I hold NJPW to a very high standard.King of Pro-Wrestling today. Salivating over the main event.
And on the commentary why the #### does Striker have to act like such a dick for Japan events? All season of LU he was great and didn't piss me off once. Returns to Japan and the idiot that tried to destroy WK9 is back.

I've watched NOAH and AJPW ... and for some reason NJPW is like the Empire's tractor beam. Pulls me towards it every time.

Just finished watching Sky Blondes/Swann & Ricochet. So gooooood.
And the atmosphere is much more preferable. I was surprised by the coarse language for some reason but I didn't care by the end.
Yeah it was an ok, I thought the recent Power Struggle show was much more consistent with a better crowd. Honma vs Ishii was fantastic.
And also anyone who's into Dragon Gate or good matches check out the Shingo vs Mochiuzky match from Destiny if you can find the means. Sensational!!

Cagematch told me about that. Amazing.
Yep Power Struggle killed it and the above will go down in my top 5 favourite matches of the year. Just an absolute brutal epic. Watched World Tag League day one yesterday and was excellent also. Okada needs to work on his acting a bit though. NJ clearly pushing a more personal and antagonistic vibe for the lead up to his match at WK10 with Tanahasi. Is a good idea as they have fought each other a billion times now but he needs to sell it better.

Basically Okada saying he wants to stay in Japan. So happy.

Anyone watching it live? If that card delivers it's potential you're looking at a show of the year.
