Show begins @ 5:30am EDT / 10:30am BST. 30 MINUTES TILL GO! GO! TIGER TIME (and ELP telling us something)After a 31 year long career, and a 45 year legacy stretching back to Satoru Sayama, we celebrate the career of Tiger Mask IV tonight and see him make his final steps in anger in the ring. On one final night, the student of the original Tiger, and the longest tenured wrestler under the mask will wrestle a double header that speaks to the history for Tiger Mask as an identity of incredible influence over the decades both in and out of the wrestling ring. >Tiger Mask IV Retirement Match IITiger Mask IV vs Black Tiger IV>Tiger Mask IV Retirement Match ITiger Mask IV vs Dynamite Kid Tom Billington>8-Man Tag MatchUnbound Co.

Yikes a rocky romero match
I haven’t watched enough of tiger IV’s matches to tune in and care for this, so I’m gonna skip itOiwa sexo (premature)
Shota's really had a meteoric rise, haven't seen many talents able to become a Hontai Dad in such short order.
WHERE'S YOUR BELT, SHOTA??
>>20777409Please understand, no one wants global-chan, people kept throwing it around
>>20777406Kinda with you on this but I wanna see what Tom Billyton looks like. Maybe we should keep him.
Shota's hair is looking marginally better rn
>>20777406idk I did like him dominating BOSJs for no reason whatsoever
YE YEYE YE
Reminder that there are in fact 7 Tiger Masks and the 7th is Takeru.
Wasn't Callum Newman here yesterday? They couldn't clear him for the night?
>>20777432Yes but just as second. From what I read seems that injury wasn't something that could be cleared that quickly
I expect YOH to do about 20 Sayama tribute moves
>>20777432I assume they called him in to see if he was okay to wrestle this show and for the G1 and for today it's a no. But if it's a no now it's not gonna suddenly be okay Saturday and beyond.
Khan somehow got even shittier
based jakeler
>>20777444Bushiroad sale changed him.
those g1 undercards are gonna be rough
can't believe they had oskar struggle against yujiro
Fat fuck finally got his belt
Jado with Oleg and Wolf looks a bit out of place kek
Lol get fucked Ice
>>20777465on the other hand gedo with kob fits way too well that they should just make that a complete act
HES JADOING UP
>Jado nearly got shot in Mexico thanks to GedoKek I wanna know more
I expected this tag being more spiced but kinda whatever
Maybe I get easily amused but Gedo speaking only in english will never stop being funny
>>20777483Turns out they were waiting for the match to end lol
wolfman as GASSED by the end of that. you could hear that nigga coughing
>>20777490I was about to say that, what the fuck dudes
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
Why Narita is walking like that... anyway his new gown its fucking ugly
what happened to ELP?
>>20777502Ppl are guessing he's leaving. Maybe health issues or just moving elsewhere like AEW or ROH
kek they gave him the mic stand
SANADA not helping with that elbow taping
Taichi chopping bro in the bad neck
ren narita fucking sucks
I CANT THINK
kek did ELP go home?
Been 6 months but Ishimori still wearing War Dogs gear
THIS FUCKING MUSIC SUCKS WHAT WAS HE THINKING
They couldnt make this bitch sing to some heavy drums and a guitar and shit?
oiwa sexoooo
OIWA SEXXXOOOOOOO
>>20777396Solace in the fact that its a 5 minute time limit. He wont be in there long
>>20777535yep lol
LETS GO BIG DAIKE
They almost fucked up that DDT and it made that shit better.
Maybe next time, Daiki
LIGER
JUSHIN
Damn how old is Kero Tanaka?
TJPW has used Tanaka more in 20 years than New Japan in like 20
GO! GO! TIGER!GO! GO! TIGER!GO! GO! TIGER!GO! GO! TIGER!GO! GO! TIGER!
>>20777572Late 60s, but he isn't looking healthy is he?
>>20777577I don't care what naysayers will post, I'm gonna miss him.
Damn Dynamite went out sad
This kid needs some muscle on his bones. He's got SANADA arms
FUCK ROCKY
Rocky is an even grimmer of a succession than TM4
boooooooooooooo
Honestly don't mind how Billington sells, it feels less like the clean breakfalls of most acrobatic juniors and more like the "barely avoided breaking his own body" that mudshow guys and top tier sellers share. Not sure which one he is, but it looks good either way.>>20777587>>20777585Honestly feel like it should have been Magnus/Black IX, but I guess Rocky did run the gimmick longer than anyone else that IV has fought.
>>20777587the 2000s were a grim time, anon
>CHOTTO MATTE KUDASAIHonestly gave me "uno beero por favor-ay" vibes with the inflection there. How did Rocky spend so long in JP and didn't get anywhere close to conversational fluency?
This show was stupid af
>>20777593I wouldn't mind if he got sent here for a good while. He could use the work (and some juice)
Kek they ran out of time. Why not make it 10 minutes to start with?
Will he unmask?
>>20777422As it was written
>>20777611Time extension to the retirement match is a classic cheap pop for the home crowd anon, honestly think it was intentional.>>20777613>unmasking and showing the advances in the Japanese human-animal hybrid programHe wouldn't dare.
Yuto avoiding crying again, good on him
Charlton talking about Sayama like he's the one retiring
Jackson looking emotional
Oiwa sexo
ELP not here either lol where did that fucker go?
tana recovered from his rape last night
AKB48 with some rare good news

SASUKE
Ace lookin' real girthy
JINSEI SHINZAKI
The fuck was Takeru wearing? Are suits made of flannel material /fa/ now or something?
Jinsei still looks amazing at his age
I have no clue who the guy in black was because the dub music is too loud.
>>20777659Great Sasuke? He's the only one in black I see
MOYASE MOYASE
Liger vibing the fuck out

Baseball guys cutting promos instead of the pro wrestlers, damn.

>Sayama invented the Phoenix Splash in 82 in a dojo
Sayama looks so frail...
