Working nights, so I'll watch until 6am EST before heading off to bed. My first NJPW experience. Jericho is 100% to thank for this.

Jordan
01-04-2018, 01:43 AM
Mmmm I got my coffee up, nice and fresh.

Jordan
01-04-2018, 01:43 AM
Some people wildcard predicting Hogan appears in the Rumble, would be awesome but I highly doubt it. Will be good if there is a good surprise though.

Jordan
01-04-2018, 01:44 AM
What's the deal with Japanese tables. They have always been devastating.

#BROKEN Hasney
01-04-2018, 01:46 AM
Aha, they're not paying Hogan money for a pre show Rumble. Scott Norton will be in it and you will like it.

Jordan
01-04-2018, 01:47 AM
Goddamn right I will.

At the moment my body is equal parts, "dude, why did you go to bed hours earlier than usual?" and "dude, why the fuck are you now up after only 4 hours?"

Gotta be quite unreal to be in the main event of this show knowing all of the insanity you will have to follow.

YAY, my Chromecast waits until now to have to install this huge update

Jordan
01-04-2018, 01:54 AM
Cody... I just really can't stand him. However he's facing Kota Ibushi so I'm totally down. I could see this being a really good match.

Destor

Naito v Okada shouldnt have ever the slightest of difficulty. What can possibly top that match on this card?

Jordan
01-04-2018, 01:55 AM
BTW I am watching from my TV. Purchased through New Japan World, streamed from my laptop to my X-Box One X, picture is perfect.

Jordan

01-04-2018, 02:08 AM
Do Young Lions ever skip the learning excursion? If not I'd have to think they'll try to get Kitamura on his soon given his advanced aged. Dude's a beast.

yeaaaaaah kitamura chop

Ah yeah now I remember. They kinda wasted him on the Rumble.

Took me forever to get everything working but I got it working..woo

He had just come back from injury so they had nothing really for him. Everyone else was already in matches that had been built up for months

Fignuts
01-04-2018, 02:16 AM
Bring Norton in now and have him squash the suzuki gun midgets

How the fuck did this guy get in NJPW? Chase Owens.

They tried to dump him. They did the big bullet club tour where everyone was booked. Left chase off. Boys paid his air fare and told the office all means all and he's not missed a tour since.

He's a talented dude, but yeah, there's nothing beyond that. Probably needs to go away and find himself ala Naito.

Wonder if they're saving someone big for the last couple, because this hasn't been as good as last year.

Him and Tenzan are one of my favorite tag teams ever. Just two super pumped hosses running over people like mack trucks.

Actually a really badass shoot style fighter. Big part of the UWF that feuded with NJPW.

OH WOW! I didn't see this coming! Tenzan and Kojima out!

Fignuts

Kinda gay they hold the battle royal then make you wait another 20 minutes

Evil Vito
01-04-2018, 02:40 AM
That was fun. Pretty low on surprises but given how massive the NJPW roster is I'm not too surprised. There are still loads of dudes who aren't gonna make the card.

Fignuts
01-04-2018, 02:42 AM
You guys know how to get that shirt?

Probably only available through the Takayama charity, which is only accessible in Japan. Outside of buying Firepro and the Takayama DLC.

I think that Jericho could win to US Title tonight. It would seem like a strong business move to have a rematch in The States at some point this year and have Omega beat Jericho to reclaim the title.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking but it kinda depends on his fozzy tour, and how far apart his appearances would be.

Also, what if Cody beats Jericho for the belt? Can really throw more gas on the burgeoning Omega/Cody feud.

Jordan
01-04-2018, 02:47 AM
I am casting from my laptop to my Chromecast which goes through my Xbox and for me the Rumble was without any streaming error. I wish there was an app for Xbox though. I get great streams off this thing.

I was kinda just thinking all along that Omega winning was a foregone conclusion because NJPW is so careful with protecting guys in lieu of going for unpredictability but then it just crossed my mind earlier tonight that they might do it to get a rematch out of it in the states.

Droford

I had to download the player app on my phone and then cast to my roku because for whatever reason the video quality casting straight to my smart tv sucks balls compared to via my roku. Why I have a Roku hooked up to a smart tv is because Samsungs smart tv apps sucks balls too. I have a chromecast but its hooked up to my other tv which isn't smart, I probably have things backwards.

I didn't really go for him when he first came in, but I feel like he's adapted to the style more and more, and has been showing genuine improvement.

That tv isn't 55 inches. Although NJPW World blown up to 55 inches looks like shit..so again, probably went the wrong way.

Jordan

With all eyes on this show you put over the rising star. Hes their future . You dont bring triple h out of retirement to best cm punk.

I see that logic. Think about NJPW on US soil with Jericho holding the belt coming in defending against Omega. That's kind of a best case scenario for a NJPW card in the US right now. I mean, to draw a WWE sized arena. That and, at the end of this match what would be more memorable, what would make the card and the match bigger than what it already is? What could help elevate the match to it's greatest potential? The upset brother, the upset.

Putting jericho over is loltna stupid

I think if you can do a compelling story, Jericho winning the US title when it looks like a one off appearance isn't the worst thing in the world. Unlike Triple H, it would get more eyes from a region on the product, so there's that at least.

Jericho's interview was teasing a match with Naito, so who knows. That might be for his boat though....

I wish anyone but Kevin Kelly was on commentary.....it always just seems like look at me im the smartest guy in the room I know things with him.

At least he's better than Matt Striker was for NJPW.

Striker is great with Vampiro for Lucha Underground but he didn't fit or mesh well with NJPW.

Im not completely against an Okada win, but I would prefer Naito. No one is hotter than Naito and LIJ right now. Not Bullet Club, not Omega, not Okada. Nobody. And if Okada's reign ended tonight, it would still be hailed as one of the greatest of all time. Ending it at the biggest event of the year to a guy who has had a remarkable journey to this moment and is flaming hot, is the perfect cap to this reign in my opinion.

Extending okada's reign would not benefit in any way that is worth sacrificing how great of a moment Naito's win would be. And the guy is more than good enough to take that moment and run with. He's one of the best wrestlers in the world, and he is absolutely worthy of ending okadas epic reign.

Crowds have been audibly pro naito in shows leading up to this. Don't think they'll turn on an okada win, but if you're a Naito and LIJ fan it would definitely feel like a bit of a letdown after how all the pieces of this story have fallen into place.
