I would imagine the fat man market is very small in Japan outside of sumo wrestlers. HEY! Sumos need clothes too. ;D Anyway, they should at least carry a 2X. I dont think that is an unreasonable request. |

I like how the NJPW shop sells Okada dollars. I hate how the NJPW shop is so complicated to order from . Agreed. I've given up. |

That's why I like Big Japan's English shop.

I've tried to contact NJPW in the past with very little success. You would think given their fan base of English language speaking folk they would have a semi-decent service. Alas, no response whatsoever = garbage.

Brian Kendrick, also known as Spanky, will enter his first Best of the Super Jr. tournament as the replacement for Davey Richards in Block B. Kendrick made a brief cameo in New Japan last June as a surprise member of CHAOS and ally of Jado & Gedo, and his achievements include being a former WWE Tag Team Champion.

I think this is great news. Like Kendrick as a part of CHAOS. |

They do work with Tenso for their overseas customers. |

I know of two, so. and Tenso is a website that will receive Japanese products from most websites in Japan and send them to you for a fee. NJPW suggests that overseas costumers use the service. www.tenso.com/en/ |

NJPW, 5/27/12 (Asahi Newstar)
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
1,950 Fans – Super No Vacancy
1. Best of the Super Jr. – Block A: BUSHI [2] beat Rocky Romero [0] (5:23) with the Bushi Roll.
2. Best of the Super Jr. – Block B: Daisuke Sasaki [2] beat Jado [0] (8:57) with a Sasaki-style huracanrana.
3. Best of the Super Jr. – Block B: Alex Kozlov [2] beat TAKA Michinoku [0] (8:22) with the Russian Strike.
4. Best of the Super Jr. – Block B: Brian Kendrick [2] beat Tiger Mask [0] (6:34) with the Sliced Bread #2.
5. Kazuchika Okada, Shinsuke Nakamura, YOSHI-HASHI & Tomohiro Ishii beat Hiroshi Tanahashi, Hirooki Goto, Tetsuya Naito & Tama Tonga (15:51) when Okada used the Rainmaker on Tonga.
6. Best of the Super Jr. – Block A: Angel de Oro [2] beat Taichi [0] (9:28) with the Arras de Oro.
7. Best of the Super Jr. – Block A: PAC [2] beat Jushin Thunder Liger [0] (10:20) with a 360 Shooting Star Press.
8. Best of the Super Jr. – Block B: Low Ki [2] beat Ryusuke Taguchi [0] (14:10) with a diving footstomp.
9. Best of the Super Jr. – Block A: KUSHIDA [2] beat Prince Devitt [0] (12:56) with the Midnight Express.
* Big wins for all of the special guests on day one of the Super Jr. as PAC, de Oro, Kendrick, Kozlov, Sasaki, and BUSHI record wins over familiar names. But the big surprise saw KUSHIDA pin long standing junior ace Prince Devitt in the main event to kick off his campaign with a huge victory.
Got to think some upsets here with Koslov, Kendrick, Pac and KUSHIDA all getting wins over Taka, Tiger Mask, Liger and Devitt. Why does it smell like a KUSHIDA might be taking this tournament? Putting him over Devitt is HUGE, as is those above wins...cept I cant see Koslov, Kendrick or Pac actually winning the whole thing.

There is a zero percent chance that Alex or Kendrick win this thing. Now their chances can increase if every other wrestler except them get hurt and even then it isn't a sure thing.

Exactly and even then, if everyone else got hurt I see them just cancelling it. You think Pac has a shot? I dont. But you left him off your list. |

Depends on how much business NJPW plans on doing with DG in the future. My guess is he finishes in the top five overall.

I'm surprised, but not shocked with KUSHIDA. He started to get a little push end of last year. I like KUSHIDA.
I could see Pac finishing top 5 as well Franchise. I would love to see NJPW pairing with DG USA....just so I could see some NJPW back in the States.

I like KUSHIDA too, he's pretty good in what I've seen of him. You're lucky you got to see NJPW in the US; fat chance of them ever coming to Australia.  Best show I attended all year. |
