AXS has seasons of NJPW come out. They're mostly outdated the last I heard. Like showing last years stuff. But they show the best of which is just phenomenal stuff. It's available on DM if you search AXS NJPW.

The G-1 has come and gone again. LOL Tanahashi wins!!!

Best matches according to Meltzer:
AJ Styles/Tanahashi - ****3/4
Okada/Nakamura - ****3/4
Elgin/Ishii - ****1/2
Tanahashi/Nakamura - *****

On forums it seems that everybody thinks AJ vs Tanahashi is a no doubt 5* match and match of the tournament long before Meltzer came out with these ratings. I haven't seen any of those yet, but I definitely plan to.

Shibata/Ibushi is also getting rave reviews from fans but no idea what Meltzer gave it.

I just finished Ishii vs Honma from last years G-1 on Day 4. Match was insane. The first 3-4 minutes, you could hear a pin drop because the crowd seemingly didn't care but the last 10-12 minutes, they ranged from on the edge of their seat to flat out deafening loudness.

NJPW was at the recent ROH tapings and I'm pissed I read the results. Some awesome sounding matches went down. They also announced that the ROH/NJPW relationship was "stronger than ever" and that ROH will do some shows in Japan.

Kevin Kelly and Matt Striker will be in Japan doing English language commentary live for King of Pro Wrestling on 10/12 at Sumo Hall. Very interesting they are doing this considering Mauro Ranallo nor Jim Ross were contacted and both have expressed interest in doing live New Japan big show play-by-play.
What this doesn't say is that for October, NJPW World (NJPW Network) is free. The King of Pro Wrestling ppv is like their SummerSlam ppv fwiw. It should be great. The main event is Okada vs AJ Styles for the IWGP belt. Tanahashi takes on Naito, Makabe vs Ishii, and Evan Bourne vs Kenny Omega.

I actually think non-WWE Matt Striker is pretty good on commentary and might be the best PBP guy with a job atm. Kevin Kelly is so boring though. Terrible decision but he was probably really cheap compared to Mauro and JR and it keeps the relationship with ROH going.

Free for this month, ehhh? Where's the link to it? I was already intrigued by the big matches on this card anyway, especially Okada vs Styles.

All right, well. Power Struggle is going to be on in about eight hours, I believe. Where can I find a creek/river?

idk. Perhaps wrestling forums would know but I've yet to find a live stream for NJPW events. Support NJPW for $8 and watch it there. Thanks for letting me know there's a ppv tonight though because I didn't know...now I gotta google the card.

edit:
Ishii vs Honma should be gold
Tanahashi/Shibata vs Okada/Sakuraba should be incredible.

First night of the Tag Team Tournament is airing for free on NJPW World. It's on 11/21 @ 4:30am est.

Mascara Dorada & Bushi (returning after a broken neck) vs. Yohei Komatsu & Sho Tanaka

Tiger Mask & Juice Robinson vs. Daniels & Kazarian

Captain New Japan & Ryusuke Taguchi & Kushida vs. Taven & Bennett & Gedo

Tenzan & Kojima & Nagata & Nakanishi & Jay White vs. Styles & Fale & Takahashi & Tama Tonga & Cody Hall,


Tag Team Tournament matches:

Makabe & Honma vs. Sakuraba & Yano

Naito & Evil vs. Anderson & Gallows

Goto & Shibata vs. Nakamura & Ishii

Tanahashi & Elgin vs. Okada & Yoshi-Hashi.

Seems like a decent card. These tournaments are never really great or stacked. The last two matches have potential to be MotyC's.

So I guess Styles is not in this tag team thing then?

All right, I'll take a watch of this. Naito/Evil vs. Anderson/Gallows looks a little interesting with heel vs heel, heck I may be incline to root for Guns and Gallows, there, just on how Naito has built himself as heel. Goto/Shibata vs Nakamura/Ishii looks to be the one that I would look forward to.

Checked out the 1st day of the Tag League. Didn't really expect much, but I really enjoyed the overall show. The undercard tag matches were decent enough, to a certain degree, except one (the 3rd one).

All the tag league matches were very good given the dynamics of the wrestlers that were in it. The last two matches were really good. I wouldn't have thought too much of the main event given Yoshi-Hashi was in it, but he had his work boots on and sold a lot for Elgin who looked really good as well and of course, you had the Okada/Tanahashi parts which was fine and serve its purpose to build up their WK 10 match.

Overall, I had a good time despite staying up until 4 AM to watch it live.

I know it isn't unusual for guys to take one time bookings in other promotions, but is Ricochet still in Lucha Underground?

Yeah and as far as I can tell, he's not wrestling at WK.

I've been watching a bit of omega lately

He's pretty great

Omega is decent.

Bunch of free videos on NJPW you can watch without an account now. Looks like they put all of their December library from any year as free for this month.

Isn't Omega the comedy guy? Am I correct in thinking he is the guy who wrestled the little girl?

He's sort of over the top but I wouldn't necessarily categorize him as a full blown comedy gimmick. I really like his promos

He's that guy. Also had a great comedy match with Bryan at PWG's 100th show. Guy is dripping charisma and can wrestle damn good.

This match (again, free without logging in) is what I'd consider the best from the free selection:
Okada&Nakamura vs. Naito&Tanahashi from "Road to WrestleKingdom" (yearly show before WK) on 12/20/13.
