I'll be watching the American show (which has been rad), but I think I'm gonna be taking a break from New Japan proper probably until G1. There's too much in NJPW that is not for me. It starts at the top with Evil. There's no outcome that will convince me this was worthwhile. I too actually just kinda decided I was gonna stop making an effort to watch new japan for awhile. Evil winning was the topper, too much wrestling out there and the shows during the pandemic are very meh.

LIJ has 2 great wrestlers in it (Hiromu & Shingo) and I don’t want to see any of the others wrestle. Even Naito. He’s reached that Nakamura level of laziness where he is capable of a great match, but it’s not a guarantee. I’m hoping the G1 is a blast. If not, I’m out until January.

I finally watched Minoru Suzuki vs. Yuki Nagata from Korakuen Hall, really enjoyed it but i liked their empty arena match more.

In the middle of this weeks NJ Strong episode. This 6 man tag match is pure fire. I'm really glad to see Super ACH back and healthy. A lot of people on this forum (Edit: Not in this section of course, it was when he left WWE, so in that section) tore him a new one when he had his mental health breakdown, was really sad. He's doing a lot better now and looks like his old self again.

ACH is a great guy and an exceptional talent. He's one of my top targets if I'm running a promotion.

Next Friday on strong. In addition to the final of the USA cup, we get the return of the switchblade, Jay white! One of my absolute favorites, I'm excited he's back. Curious if he stays in the States for a while yet or if they try to get him back to Japan for the g1. (current rumor is they're hoping to have Ospreay back for the g1)

I'd love to see Ospreay, White, & Kenta in the G1 this year. Not really down with the idea of the 3 of them out and someone like Wato in.

And a little bit against bad luck Fale, which is the only bad luck Fale match I'll probably ever look forward to

I'm checking out the event from last night. They started using crowd noise through the fans. The fan still clap & stomp feet too, but they were testing out having buttons where the fans could cheer or boo through an app, and the noise seems to scale in relation to how many are pressing. It's actually pretty cool and effective. You can tell its artificial but it's still a really cool way of doing it.

I haven't been following super close either. Outside of the American program on Friday's that is. So far the typical mixed tags I've watched have been better than the singles angles. Probably because they have the better wrestlers in them lol. The '2' count match I watched with Yano was freaking hilarious though.

I haven't even watched that. I unsubscribed when Evil won.

Out of all names, I didn't expect to see Darren Young make a NJPW debut.

Haha yeah that wouldn't have been my guess either, but Flip vs Jay could be awesome. Jay isn't the best person for empty arena stuff he really needs a crowd, but it should still be good.

Hopefully that experiment is over. Tetsuya Naito regains the championships!

I'm waiting until the beginning of September to re-subscribe (don't wanna get charged twice in the span of like 3 days).
Did they make any G1 announcements?
