Posted July 6, 201510 yr comment_5683208 Will is joined by Pete, Johnny P and Dylan Hales to discuss the latest New Japan mega-show. Could the Bullet Club be revamped? Can AJ Styles keep the Heavyweight Title? Is Nakamura still the most charismatic guy in wrestling? Will Honma ever be elevated up the card? Join us for the latest 4 1/2 hour spectacle from Japan. http://placetobenation.com/ptbn-reaction-show-new-japan-dominion/
July 6, 201510 yr comment_5683209 Listening now. The reason this show was so long is because it was the biggest building they've run for a non-G1 non-Dome show in forever, so they had to deliver a stacked card.
July 6, 201510 yr comment_5683211 I thought about that too, but all their major events are in this time range.
July 6, 201510 yr comment_5683213 I thought about that too, but all their major events are in this time range. I don't think that's really true, most of their events seem to top out around 3 and a half hours. I think the reason Makabe is positioned prominently is because he's the biggest mainstream celebrity on the roster. He has a TV show and recently had a major role in the Japanese Mad Max dub (which is something of a big deal over there, I guess).
July 6, 201510 yr Author comment_5683230 This show had a shorter intermission with the G-1 main matches announced but most of their major shows at least have 1-2 matches that could be cut. Interesting thoughts on Makabe. Mad Max was the corner pads sponsor on this show. Reaction was a lot of fun. Enjoyed Pete saying Makabe's arms could be amputated and he could throw better strikes.
July 6, 201510 yr comment_5683231 I loved this reaction show. Great job as always. There is nothing better than hearing Dylan pick apart New Japan and Will pointing how much Pete loves The Young Bucks. Personal pet peeve that I have heard Pete do forever and I heard Johnny do it here as well. "Four and three and fourths" sounds incredibly awkward to my ear. "Four and three quarters" sounds much better.

I think that is an aspect of Makabe not too many people know about and one of the major reasons he is pushed so heavily despite his faults. When looking at his physique you might be surprised to hear that Makabe likes Dessert a lot. He even has a show on Japanese TV about it, in a pretty good timeslot on a big network too if i'm not mistaken To Japanese non-wrestling fans he is probably the most recognizable name on the roster.

Also, you are off my Christmas card list, Steven. <_ uless you move to ottawa. then we can hang and watch wrestling. as a guest in your homeland i shall pronounce it any way like but have talk with border police for me tell them stop being such fucking dicks.>

Come to Toronto and see the Pan AM games anyways, it's better. Border police stink.. we are all sorry about that.
July 8, 201510 yr comment_5683710 Love me some grouchy Dylan Another enjoyable reaction podcast for a show I'm never gonna watch. I might actually have to track down the Makabe match to see what the fuss is about. Pete's reaction to it was Parv-fuming-over-Backlund levels of hilarious.
July 8, 201510 yr comment_5683719 So Makabe not only has Guy Fieri's hair, but is in fact the Guy Fieri of Japan?
July 9, 201510 yr comment_5683900 Dylan slagging that shit-show stretch of three matches was nice, but Pete pulling down the straps & getting FARRED UP about the Makabe punches was fucking phenomenal. Now I need them to book a one-off between Makabe and Elgin, just so we can hear Pete's reaction to that masterpiece. Pronto.
