Like avengers23 said the NJ on AXS commentary is way better.
I just said they're the best out there today.
Better than...
-Josh and Tazz
-Cole, JBL, and Booker
-Kelly and Corino
One legged men in ass kicking contests here.
I only saw two episodes of NJPW a while back unfortunately so don't remember the commentary that much, I keep on forgetting to check it out.
How? Define 'way'. Josh repeating the same 6th grade/middle schoolers joke about the Bucks that anyone else would give King a ton of shit for if he repeated a joke that many times? Like who the fuck cares that Josh Barnett knows some indie guys in NJPW? Who has he ever beat in pro wrestling? Or Mauro getting half the move names wrong and ALL the pronunciations wrong?
I question the AXS commentary being 'great' as people drinking Meltzer's kool-aid.

Vanpiro is great, dude is so enthusiastic about the in ring action. Love when he just marks out
All the current commentary is completely superficial and adds nothing to the matches or storylines. It is in such a useless state that no one is better than anyone else because none of them add to matches. It's just noise at this point. There is no JR making a moment seem bigger than it is or Ventura prodding holes in babyface logic or Gorilla and Heenan reminding you who's bad and who's good without blatantly saying it. Purely noise. Like playing music over a movie.
Funny thing is the Japanese ISEC if you weel hates the NJPW announcers

Yeah WM and the last set of tapings really put some brakes on the show sadly.
Next week should be great, 3 way between Charlotte, Becky and Bayley with Becky coming out on top then crushing the False Queen at the next special. Guess Charlotte is spared the indignity of the main roster for another few weeks at least. Then we have another Owens Riley match which should be some good schadenfreude for most people in this thread.
Don't know why they are still doing Corbin squash matches, seriously prove to us that the guy can actually go. We get it, he's dominant, he's got a "look" and "presence" even if they are both thift shop biker and unsure if he is in the right place respectively. I felt incredibly pandered to by Dana Brooke, ugh her mannerisms are fucking awful, overbearing and seem so out of place in the NXT women's division. Although they are using the "Diva" terminology so much now

On the couple of Yano DVDs I've got subtitles for there's a few matches with the commentary translated - Nogami's got great enthusiasm and is fine when he's doing play-by-play, but when he's talking with his co-commentators they go off-match and babble about meaningless shit just as much as Cole & co. In some ways, we're better off not being able to understand the commentary.

Baaaaasically ignorance is bliss. But it drives me nuts sometimes. Still, the tradeoff? No thanks.

Keep in mind we all felt the same about Kaitlyn and she got competent, even decent. There's always growing pains, but we'll see.
I actually like Mauro ok. He's probably the best play-by-play guy until they get Vince out of Cole's ear(never) I always have to point to the Showdown at Shea to show Cole knows what he's talking about
I can't stand Barnatt though. He reminds me of the old FMW English Commentators.

Good job giving them the tag titles, Gedo.
I'd rather die than wear this. My god. Horrendous. My god.

The tag title booking has been questionable as fuck this year, firstly for having Meiyu Tag drop the belts back to Doc & Eggman on their first defence, then for having The Kingdom win the belts just because the fans love "Dynamite-o body-des" Maria Kanellis. I'm not sure what the pay-off is or what this does for the tag division. It's just weird.

Maria has a shirt before Mr. Husband
Good job giving them the tag titles, Gedo.
That Nak shirt is so gaudy. I love it.

Maybe they're trying to rebalance the scales that have been tipped in favor of Ibushi-style twinks.

So they can do title changes at the ROH shows. Briscoe taking the straps!

For better or worse New Japan is built around the heavyweight singles and they needed Goto to be available to challenge Nakamura. Taking the belts of him and Shibata freed them up and does provide a reason to bring back Maria and her backup dancers.

Is that Cody Rhodes from the distant future on the right?

Maybe we will see him in the G1.
MK's story mode was pretty good
I'd buy DmC Remastered if it came with an option to disable all story stuff. The gameplay modifications they made are legit.

What do you mean "story stuff"? Cutscenes? All are skippable...
There's also the in-game segments where you walk around while characters dump exposition on you. Pretty sure those couldn't be skipped. Shit like that annoys me massively. At least Revengeance let you fast forward through codec conversations.
Anyways, maybe I'll pick it up at a discounted price in the future. DMC4 Special Edition is on the way and it looks even more legit.

Ugh DMC4. Did they fix the part where they doubled the length of the game by making you do it twice?
That was so good. So good. The actual characters in DmC were pretty great. I expected to cringe a lot, and cringed none. I mean for fuck's sake, Virgil has a fedora. But everyone was wonderful.

Is his new gimmick someone with a fond love of the coco?
LOL. Is that real?

Riley's hairpiece looks so fragile.
Unfortunately no. But now Vergil, Trish, and Lady are playable and have their own small storyline stuff. So at least some of the retread parts will be a little easier to swallow with some new move sets to fuck around with. It's sad DMC4 got rushed out a little early by Capcom, the gameplay in 4 is probably the best in the series. Honestly though I'm pretty sure DMC4-SE is just a primer to get people hyped for a yet to be announced Devil May Cry 5. DMC4-SE comes out in Japan during E3, which I don't think is a coincidence. Plus the DMC4 team haven't been working on an announced project since Dragon's Dogma wrapped.
Itsuno's team doesn't look like they've missed a beat. Also, visually DMC4 has aged surprisingly well.
Ugh, DmC's story was embarrassingly bad IMO
Absolutely.
Walking wellness policy violation on multiple counts
Maybe, but even coco can't make coco a good song.
Heard it on the radio the other day and damn thing felt 21 years old.
they should have just said screw you and bleeped it out like old thunder episodes
That's so embarrassing. Man.
This, the lighting is always good. I've never missed a thing because of it.
The only episode that sort of disappointed was last weeks and if anything I would rate that as a B episode. Yesterday's episode was so good though and it definitely deserves an A+.
Btw, why are people mentioning that Pentagon Jr was in yesterday's episode? I didn't see him so I'm wondering where he could've showed up. Any info on this?
This has to be my favorite gif of Lucha, love how Puma is contemplating getting in that ring with Cage after he got hit lol.
I give it to Lucha. Wrestlers can sell their asses off. Puma having a quiet moment after being hit with a trashcan lid though....
That's not nice
Division titles in the NBA are literally worthless considering half the damn league makes the playoffs anyway.

... Wow. Starrcade 1993 was overall terrible. Which is bizarre, giving how absolutely fantastic the main event was. I love how slow it was. The finish was a little weird (and IMO, not very believable), with no Figure-Four from Flair to outright beat Vader. But it was nonetheless an amazing match.
