January 3, 201510 yr Author comment_5647969 I am curious though, presumably there will be an option to watch with the English commentary? You can order the Global Force Wrestling presentation via cable or the Flipp apps and get Jim Ross calling the action.
January 3, 201510 yr Author comment_5647970 Ordering New Japan Wold as I'm reading your post shoe. Cool I hope you enjoy it. With NJ World you can watch it live or when you wake up. I'll be live tweeting here.@titansowrestlin on twitter. I know Soup and some of the boys at PTBN will have a live chat going. Some of my thoughts will be there as well. I always love talking wrestling with Soup.
January 3, 201510 yr Author comment_5647972 If anyone wants an idea what's in store for them on the show check out the Voices of Wrestling podcast. They do a good job running down the card.
January 3, 201510 yr comment_5647974 I read on the F4W Board a lot of issues people were having with Flipps. I'd advise buying through your cable or satellite provider.
January 3, 201510 yr comment_5647975 Meanwhile, AJPW held their first show of the New Year:- Masanobu Fuchi, Yoshinobu Kanemaru and Ultimo Dragon def Yohei Nakajima, Naoya Nomura and Yuma Aoyagi (Kanemaru over Aoyagi via Pinfall) - Atsushi Aoki def Soma Takao (Aoki over Takao via Submission)- GOARA TV Title: KENSO © def Ryuji Hijikata (KENSO via Pinfall) - Akebono, Shigehiro Irie and Shuji Ishikawa def Jun Akiyama, Takao Omori and SUSHI (Akebono over Sushi via Pinfall) - Zeus and Shingo Takagi def Suwama and Hikaru Sato (Zeus over Sato via Pinfall)- Asia Tag Titles: Mitsuya Nagai and Takeshi Minamino def Kento Miyahara © and Kotaro Suzuki © (Nagai over Suzuki via Pinfall - new champions)- Triple Crown Heavyweight Title: Go Shiozaki def Joe Doering © (Shiozaki via Pinfall - new champion) Remember when AJPW produced awesome cards that rivalled NJPW's? At least they got the TC off Doering, that was a bizarre decision putting the titles on him. I also think that Shiozaki may still end up in NJPW at some point.
January 3, 201510 yr comment_5647979 Glad to hear they'll be some people awake tonight so I don't feel like I'm watching this "in a bubble," so to speak. Attempting to get Dylan to join me (which he seems to want to do so this should happen). Shoe, I'll be looking for you on Twitter. Might just have to download the app to my phone. NOT a big Twitter guy at all, but the laptop is going to be full screen and HDMI-cabled into the TV. I'm @bwcfilm. I'll do my best to join the conversation
January 3, 201510 yr Author comment_5647982 Sweet, that's how I'm doing it too Johnny.I have one laptop dedicated to the feed and another one for misc stuff.

I also think that Shiozaki may still end up in NJPW at some point. To be fair a lot of the high end AJPW stuff this year has rivaled, or been better than, NJPW's best stuff. There's not as much of it, and NJPW is still far better overall, but I think AJPW gets sold short on their present day quality.

Agree with being sold short from a high end match perspective but I have rarely seen top to bottom awesome AJPW cards recently.
January 4, 201510 yr comment_5647993 Barring some unforeseen disaster I'll be watching this show live. The other day on Twitter I ranked the matches in order of my interest, so I figured I'd bring that over here as well. I'll steal the Voices of Wrestling gimmick and rank my over all interest in match on a scale of 1-10 next to each bout in parenthesis. 1. Suzuki v. Sakuraba (9) 2. Styles v. Naito (8) 3. Nakamura v. Ibushi (7) 4. IWGP Junior tag title (6) 5. Ishii v. Makabe (6) 6. Bullet Club v. Honma and Friends (5) 7. Yano and NOAH guys v. Suzuki-Gun (4) 8. Okada v. Tanahashi (3) 9. Shibata/Goto v. Anderson/Gallows (1) 10. Omega v. Taguchi (0) Interested to see how watching this live will effect my viewing experience. I will probably live tweet it to, though I'm not sure of that yet. I really hope that they do something out of the box with the main event (I'm crossing my fingers for a bomb throwing sprint), but I'm not holding my breathe.
January 4, 201510 yr comment_5647998 UK people, give me instructions on how to watch this. I have an iPad and am willing to pay some money.
January 4, 201510 yr comment_5648000 I'd recommend signing up for New Japan World, Jerry. It's not too difficult to do (I signed up last night), as you can translate most of the website into English now. Here's some instructions from the Wrestling Observer site: http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/102-japan/40137-guide-to-ordering-new-japan-world
January 4, 201510 yr comment_5648003 No, NJPW World is Japanese. Only way to get JR is through Flipps app or ppv provider. By the way, just signed up for the NJPW World thing. I think I am going to go and get 3 or so hours of sleep and try to re-watch this one!

January 4, 201510 yr comment_5648006 1am eastern 2:00 eastern, isn't it? Show on New Japan world says 1:15 so I would assume the Rumble would start between 1:20 and 1:35 Eastern or show. The main show starts at 2:00 AM Eastern.

January 4, 201510 yr comment_5648008 My list: Nakamura vs. Ibushi Styles vs. Naito Okada vs. Tanahashi Ishii vs. Makabe IWGP Junior Tag Title Suzuki vs. Sakuraba Yano and Noah vs. Suzuki - Gun Taguchi vs. Omega Bullet Club vs. Honma posse Shibata/Gota vs. Anderson/Gallows
January 4, 201510 yr comment_5648010 Note that some cable systems aren't airing the live show, as it's up against a UFC replay.
January 4, 201510 yr comment_5648011 As tempting as hearing Jim Ross talk about everyone's "educated feet" all night sounds, I'm not sure it's worth $35.
