JR is so fucking bad

 

[avengers23]

I don't think JR has pronounced Los Ingobernables correctly once.

 

[excelsiorlef]

How are you shocked they got that chant in Los Angeles?

No.

I'm not

Again I just am having to get used to a very different NJPW feel and presentation and it's not easym

 

[sf2fanatic]

Dem chopsss

 

[slightconfuse]

Dragon Lee is so good

 

[klonere]

Japanese commentators sounded joyous at the Liger chants btw

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

So I keep getting a "this is not available in your area" message, what's up with that?

If your in America its on Axs TV or Sling. If you're canadian its on Fight Network.

 

[avengers23]

Sanada p4p best hair and his shirt looks dope too lol

Sanada is a very handsome man. He will be a fine ace in 2019.

FUCK Hiromu vs. Dragon Lee.

This camerawork is not good...

 

[excelsiorlef]

This camerawork is not good...

It's horrible

52yr old dude in the ring

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Any way to listen to English commentary on New Japan World?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Taker there?

 

[Dental Plan]

This camerawork is not good...

Yeah, it feels like amateur hour.

 

[avengers23]

This camerawork is not good...

That was an...unconventional angle on the double dive.

And they missed Dragon Lee's drop kick completely.

 

[SallyIsNow]

This camerawork is not good...

It's really bad

52yr old dude in the ring

No one on the WWE roster is nearly as talented as him

 

[excelsiorlef]

Any way to listen to English commentary on New Japan World?

Yep. Click the English commentary link.

Be warned it sucks so far.

 

[sf2fanatic]

This camerawork is not good...

Leave Bronson alone!!

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Yooo that chair spot

 

[RecRoulette]

I'm so excited we get to hear JR pronounce "Kazuchika" 29 different ways tonight.

 

[klonere]

Below LIJ multi-man standard but it was fine I guess

 

[iamcool388]

I was watching live on Youtube, and now its ended. Any way to watch it here in India? Please do PM me!

 

[Ultratech]

This camerawork is not good...

It's really all over the place.

 

[serenewarfare]

Commentary has been not good. Kelly and Callis are much better because they actually know the product inside and out. I know why AXS is using their guys, but man JR in particular is just not doing well. Which is strange because he was fantastic on the WWE UK stuff and Takeover a few months ago.

 

[Dental Plan]

This guy is named hangman and he wears a noose? Ehhhh

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Yep. Click the English commentary link.

Be warned it sucks so far.

Thanks.

I just wanted to hear how bad it was. It's a shame given JR was pretty good calling the last UK event.

 

[Beefy]

What?

JR "Rhodes vs Okada, poor bastard doesn't have a last name"

 

[excelsiorlef]

Below LIJ multi-man standard but it was fine I guess

Yep

Both matches have basically been fine but below your standard NJPW show quality which when trying to expand is... not good.

 

[SallyIsNow]

7 stars incoming

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Are we getting a taguchi japan match today or tomorrow??

JR has a harder time with the faste multi-man matches. He'll be better with the singles matches.

He should be better when it's not 8-10 guys doing flips with no psychology.

 

[serenewarfare]

JR feels like he's in a mode where he doesn't give a fuck about non-WWE stuff anymore now that he has his job back.

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[klonere]

Yep

Heh in terms of delivering the authentic NJPW experience it's been spot on so far

But yeah, nothing blowaway.

 

[RecRoulette]

God that belt is so gaudy, perfect for a US belt.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Thanks.

I just wanted to hear how bad it was. It's a shame given JR was pretty good calling the last UK event.

He did that in studio did he not? I think JR just isn't as great live anymore

Lol LIJ just beat up the ref during the break.

I can't believe LIJ is getting heel heat lmao.

Lol JR calling them jackasses.

I was watching the marathon throughout the day and I didn't really find him all that impressive there either.

He did the Takeover match live and was fantastic.

 

[klonere]

He's literally getting basic information wrong and making wildly inaccurate statements about the product in general.

 

[RecRoulette]

JR has been bad in 2017. No way around it.
Not going to fault the guy because of the personal shit he's been through, but yeah, he's lost a step.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Heh in terms of delivering the authentic NJPW experience it's been spot on so far

Disagree that it's spot on NJPW experience.

Matches have been of lesser quality and the camera work is shit.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Good point.

They did a good job of making the US title as ugly as possible. Naito should win and toss it in the trash.

 

[excelsiorlef]

He's literally getting basic information wrong and making wildly inaccurate statements about the product in general.

Trying to sell a fresh awesome stable like LIJ as DX/nWo lite is appalling

 

[avengers23]

That said, Barnett has been good, as usual.

 

[blackaroni]

Pair your black wrestler with a hangman brehs...

 

[klonere]

Disagree that it's spot on NJPW experience.

Matches have been of lesser quality and the camera work is shit.

That is also true.

And this match will probably not help.

 

[SallyIsNow]

They went out of their way to start with the most boring match up

 

[Beefy]

Fuck Hangman Paige

 

[serenewarfare]

The production so far feels way more ROH and way less like standard NJPW in terms of quality of commentary and cameras.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Disagree that it's spot on NJPW experience.

Matches have been of lesser quality and the camera work is shit.

Minus the terrible camera work, this feels like a Road To ____ or a Korakuen Hall show
