I apologize for the late start. I made almost all the webms for this week before realizing I must've fatfingered the "enable sound" box and I've had to remake them all. Shouldn't change much aside from slowing down my posts a little, though.

Taguchi had the mic when this happened and kept going "that's bad for his face. that's dangerous for the face"

Since a few promotions are doing tag leagues right now or are about to begin which promotion do you think has the strongest tag matches this year?

That's a great question. I think I was only aware of NJPW's, but I've also been out of the loop for a littlke while. I think NJPW's tag division is more fun than it has been recently with KOB and a lot of mixups in the factions (to mixed results overall) but if I had to pick one promotion as the king of tag matches I'd have to go with DG. I haven't watched a ton of it but I have watched about as much from their tag division as any non-NJPW/NOAH company and their matches are consistently very entertaining, if very spotfest-y. The company style just lines up incredibly well with fast-paced tag wrestling.

Shun's been a heel for a good while, and a super-dirtbag cheating heel for the past 2-3 years. He turned tweener and started his own stable earlier this year. I don't really think it has anything to do with that, though. Pretty much everyone not part of the House of Torture got booed, and I think that was part of the joke.

>>19321675
>Pretty much everyone not part of the House of Torture got booed, and I think that was part of the joke.
oh for sure, i was just speculating that Shun and EVIL were calling it in the ring based on the reactions but if Shuns a dirtbag then it just happened to work out real well

To clarify, Shun is LESS of a dirtbag now than he was a year ago, but he's very much still a bad guy. He's just more of a pure weirdo than a fifteen interferences a match-bad guy.

It's definitely struggled with some sameyness, they've been unable to build any credible challengers for the longest time. Daga was the most refreshing champ in a while, to me at least, and then he went openweight. Hiromu causing chaos has been the most interesting thing to happen to it in years, and I say that as a Hiromu disliker. Odashima is also crazy dimes but a bit too young to have the trigger pulled on yet.

I just finished Night 1 and I was actually surprised. For the most part AJPW really started the tournament off with a bang. The Yumas vs Atsuki and Rising Hayato had the biggest story and surprises of the night. The crowd was probably hottest during Honda/Nomura vs Kento vs DBS Jr because the crowd REALLY wanted to see Honda pin Kento. My favorite team is Ren Ayabe/Talos so their match pleased me. If I could only pick one I'd probably go with one of the first two I mentioned though with the higher recommendation for the Yumas match. I also feel spoiled seeing good camera work from AJPW after going through all of those hardcam shows. It really makes me wish AJPW could come into some money and have the same level of camera work as NJPW and NOAH.
