New Japan Gets a US TV Deal!.....Kind Of.

The good news? Since all they've got to do is edit footage with some English commentary, it's dirt-cheap for them to produce, so it's likely that we'll get more coming after that. Plus, it's NJPW in America that I don't have to pirate, so hey. |

New Japan is also supposedly starting their own WWE-like Network next year as well.
Making a big effort to expand in the US next year especially with more ROH/NJPW crossover shows also being planned. |

Could be a network type thing, but could also be a new TV SHow in Japan, or a new videogame. Could be anything, really. |

NJPW World is supposedly "pro wresting TV, internet and streaming combined" but that's coming from a translation. "Details will be revealed" December 1st.

Plus the whole former leader is in NXT, suspiciously befriends the latest Japanese signing.

Friday Night Honma, HonmaDown, Honma Night's Main Event or KOKESHI's Castle would actually also be acceptable names

While not the US tv deal, New Japan World was confirmed today to be NJPW's version of the WWE Network. Costs 999 Yen ($8.49) to subscribe per month, the search system is tag-based, and will have a mixture of content. Currently available to the US, Canada, and Australia for international markets (haven't read anything about Europe at the moment).
Just like the WWE Network, all of NJPW's ppvs will be shown live on World. Video player seems similar to Youtube in appearance while it appears all shows allow the option of just watching a specific match (or few) without needing to load up the entire show.

KOKESHIIIIIIIII
It's available in Europe, got some login details sent to me earlier. Easy enough to navigate in Chrome after you translate the page, video quality is good, everything loads and plays quick enough and yeah, can be broken down into specific matches so you don't have to skip through shows etc. Can even search/sort results by venue, commentators etc. "New Japan Pro Wrestling fun unlimited service!" |

Damn.
Gonna need to cut one of my other subscriptions so I can buy this. Way too good to pass up. Never got around to watching all those G-1 matches this year, so I'll probably start with that. |
