Holy shit SANADA

#worked

 

[Foggy]

SANADA could never be so fragile

 

[fury]

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

People need to stop piledriving SANADA. His hair keeps making me think they drop him on his skull.

Also Skullend is a cool concept for a submission finish but he keeps on applying it in a way that makes his opponent look like they could tilt their neck forward and easily escape. It's almost as bad as Yoshi's butterfly.

 

[excelsiorlef]

What a match.

I bought into the Sanada potential upset hard

 

[Hex]

Okada magic again, amazing match. I just can't believe Evil has a better record right now

 

[Jashobeam]

it looked like Sanada was going for Destino at the end there, that's what the commentators thought

 

[fury]

Wonder if we'll get Okada vs Omega undefeated on the last day.

 

[Foggy]

Awesome match

 

[excelsiorlef]

Wonder if we'll get Okada vs Omega undefeated on the last day.

I'm kind of hoping for one upset against each going into that match but yes I think that is a distinct possibility

 

[tchocky]

Wonder if we'll get Okada vs Omega undefeated on the last day.

I think it might be Kenny loses to Sanada in his second to last match, Okada undefeated then Kenny beats Okada to finish tied with Okada and win the block on the head to head.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Another good night. I think I'll skip watching live tomorrow even though I really want to seeZSJ removes both of Fales murderous arms.

 

[Foggy]

Tomorrow we have Nagata/Naito and Tana/Goto at the top of the card. Good stuff.

 

[fury]

Very possible, I think that might be more likely.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Nagata beat Naito and Tana beat Goto in last year's G1, it'll be interesting to see if they flip this year.

 

[pbayne]

Lol Juice/Suzuki felt a squash. Suzuki must have had a good 30 seconds in that piledriver position with no reversal. Yano/Omega was what it was, kinda crap but a bit of fun. Of all the guys in the block i thought Sanada had the biggest chance of beating Okada so fuck that prediction.
Overall too much crowd brawling and shit and Koji lost so fuck it.

Also Skullend is a cool concept for a submission finish but he keeps on applying it in a way that makes his opponent look like they could tilt their neck forward and easily escape. It's almost as bad as Yoshi's butterfly.

Completely agree it looks a bit daft atm. I dont know why he dosent just dragon sleeper them and wrap his arm around the neck.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I cannot fathom or buy into Yosh-Hashi taking down Kitamura

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Oh boy, Naito giving the bump to an invisible Daryl

 

[Kensation]

"PREEZE OPEN!!!"

 

[Reneledarker]

Okada is probably only going to lose once this year, and that is against Omega.

Okada vs Sanda was nice, but I think I preferred Koji vs Elgin more. Sanada really needs to apply different his finisher, it is like the third time in the G1 that he loses the grip on his opponent. Maybe he needs to do it more traditionally.

 

[lucebuce12]

As good as Okada vs SANADA was, I feel it had the potential to be even better.

 

[Hasney]

I think it might be Kenny loses to Sanada in his second to last match, Okada undefeated then Kenny beats Okada to finish tied with Okada and win the block on the head to head.

I think Okada is going to clean sweep except Kenny, but Kenny as two losses in there. He finally gets his Okada win to justify a shot down the line, but Okada wins it all since it's been so long since the champ won.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

[Sinatar]

Sabre vs. Fale? Oh no.

 

[Nekofrog]

Sabre/Fale will probably suck but it at least sounds interesting on paper

 

[Akibared]

Kenny Omega vs Toru Yano is the match of the year!

Oh boy, Naito giving the bump to an invisible Daryl

Broke my heart.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Okada is probably only going to lose once this year, and that is against Omega.

Yrah probably but I'd love for Okada to lose to Suzuki and Omega to Sanada

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Sanada still needs something to get him to the next level. He has the look and everything but there just needs to be one more thing to push him over the top and I'm not entirely sure what it is.

 

[Foffy]

He just seems like a crony in LIJ, like EVIL.

At least Naito, BUSHI, and Hiromu have characters and belts to chase. SANADA and EVIL have the nothing belts.

 

[Hasney]

Working from home today so can actually watch. LOL and Jedo getting tied up by SANADA and Yano still winning. SANJOBBER.

 

[fury]

What in the actual fuck with that Yano finish.

 

[Hasney]

SUZUKI WITH A PEN TO THE EYE OF EVIL. I didn't know how much I wanted to see an EVIL/Suzuki match until now.

 

[Hasney]

lol Kenny "I remembered the belt"

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Fuck, almost forgot this was on.

 

[Foffy]

Apparently Honma was at this show before they started airing?

 

[tchocky]

They showed him at the commentary desk earlier.

 

[meppi]

Damn, I'm a day behind. I should really catch up. That's a thing of beauty. lol

Any talk of them getting a PS4 app or anything like that?

It was so easy watching WWE Network directly on my Panasonic smart TV. :-/

 

[fury]

Damn, I'm a day behind. I should really catch up. That's a thing of beauty. lol

That whole match was pretty hilarious.

 

[meppi]

That whole match was pretty hilarious.

Really looking forward to it.
I'm usually not one for those crazy gimmick type of things, but once in a while I'm totally fine with it. And with Yano Toru, you expect to get some nice fuckery. It's tradition*.

 

[fury]

The tag matches on tonight's card have kinda been a dud. Worth skipping if anyone is watching later.

I liked the LIJ V Suzuki-Gun and it's not like you'll be wasting much time if you watch the Yano match :lol

That match wasn't even long enough for a piss break.

 

[Kornflayx]

How dare Yoshi-Trashy use Kawada kicks? Fuck him, seriously

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Man Ishii was killing Yoshi Hashi in the corner lol

 

[Hasney]

I know it'll end up shit, but I'm somewhat intrigued about how his ZSJ/Fale match will go.

DAMMIT FALE. KILLED THE ANNOUNCER.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Fale killing the announcer always kills ME.

 

[Hasney]

Commentry team sounding like RealAudio right now

 

[Lightning Count]

What the hell is going on, the sound is all fucked on NJPW World, either that or my TV just blew a speaker.

<_<
