<p>A couple of months ago I thought about starting a NJPW dynasty, but was'nt really comfortable to do it, but man...your dynasty rocks!</p><p> </p><p>

I'm loving the stories, you are playing like real NJPW, a very Gedo-like booking (and yeah, that's a compliment <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />:D).</p><p> </p><p>

By the way, the WHIRO gimmick for Jay White was really well thought! Very smart reference.</p><p> </p><p>

Very nice dynasty, super easy to follow and amazing graphics.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm loving it dude, keep the awesome work going!</p>
