Rants

MOTYC from NJPW (shocking, I know)

By Scott Keith on 8 March 2014


Spectacular match right here… Words do no justice….

Yes, but Okada didn’t ride in on a giant dinosaur while carrying a sword this time, so it loses points there.
You what would be mind-blowingly awesome for everyone involved?  New Japan cutting a deal with WWE to air these things on the Network, along with some back catalog footage.  Given that they’re marketing this thing to the hardcore nerds, who are EXACTLY the kind of people who would die for NJPW PPVs for their $10 a month, and New Japan would probably love the extra money and exposure, and WWE would love the cheap live content and footage for the marketing machine…I’m just not seeing any downside whatsoever.  
Anyway, Okada and Ibushi are awesome, not exactly shocking news, I know.  I still prefer Tanahashi and the Shibata “shoot fight” crew, but damn if Okada isn’t having a hell of a run himself this past year.
