[I AM A MAAAAN]

Hey guys, I recently moved to Japan for work based reasons and I'm on a lengthy contract based mostly in Japan so I thought now would be as good a time as any to try and get back into watching some Japanese wrestling that's airing. I've got a couple of shows DVD'd that aired lately but what would you guys say are the best shows to look out for wrestling wise. I caught the New Japan/All Japan supershow that was on the other night and I liked that a lot.

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask too.

They added Ishimori vs Takanashi and apprently Ibushi is booked for the show too. Can't see it drawing super though outside of KENTA/Marufuji and Morishima/Shiozaki.

[JoeRulz]

The match-card is stacked, though, outside of KENTAH/Marufuji Vol. 829...

[I AM A MAAAAN]

I was a big NOAH fan and that card looks very strong so I'll make sure to look out for that. Thanks!

-Doi (27:00 Bakatare Sliding Kick) Tominaga
-Kishiwada (33:36 Last Ride) Saito
-Mochizuki (38:36 Sankakugeri to the Face) Doi

All the participants for the main event came out for the opening MC. Not much of note, aside from everyone mocking Horiguchi & Tominaga for their unfortunate hair loss situation.

Tanisaki said there was an impostor in the Jimmys, and he had some words of warning for him.

Strangely, PAC bowed to all four sides of the arena after his match...

After taking Mondai Ryus' mask, CIMA also decided to take his hair. Perceiving this as a betrayal of the agreed terms, Mondai Ryu said he would do the same and continue to wear his mask.

Tozawa blamed the loss entirely on being saddled with Mondai Ryu. At Kobe World it will be 1 on 1, with no MB involvement. Without the baggage, he will win. CIMA questioned his words about his supposed friends. He said Tozawa wouldn't beat him. Next month in Korakuen he will still have the Dream Gate title. Because he is CIMA.

Mochizuki threw the Veteran Army win back at W1i, saying that the combined experience of 125 years beat them today, and promised to repeat the result at World. Yoshino basically blew him off, saying only that it certainly wasn't going to happen. He then turned his attention to the Summer Adventure Tag League. He proclaimed that DoiYoshi would be returning to win it for a fourth time. Mochizuku called him selfish for blowing off the loss today. He also pitched the idea of making the tag league into a trios league. The other units agreed with the idea. Mochizuki left the decision up to Yoshino, since Speed Muscle created the league in the first place. Yoshino agreed, and once again returned to the DoiYoshi talk. They wanted the Twin Gate. They challenged the winners at World to face them next month in Korakuen Hall. Both TakaYAMA & the Jimmys accepted. All sides left the Veteran Army to close the show. They did the customary closing speech, and announced the East Osaka trio of CIMA, Gamma, & Kishiwada would be the first team in the trios league.

The Summer Adventure Trios Tag League (not an official name) will kick off on 8/2 in Korakuen Hall and run through 8/19 in Hakata Star Lanes.

That uploader is epic, I was marking like a little bitch when I saw the Kobashi's GHC reign uploaded a couple of weeks ago.

Kobashi Triple Crown Histiry video is what I'll be watching later lol. Still quite a few of those I haven't seen yet. Got to get on that seeing as Kobashi is my favourite wrestler ever.
