dnmt Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Interesting, based on what I am reading it seems like a "Showcase" brand would work - allows any perception but only about 20 workers. Depending on who gets put in it, it would make sense, as I highly doubt guys like Zayne, Misterioso, Christian, Lawlor and the local indy talent are ever going to get booked by NJPW Proper in Japan, but are absolutely going to stay on the NJPW USA shows on a regular basis. I don't really know, it could go either way and make things weirder for AI NJPW, and QuestLove would obviously know more, but just figured I'd throw the idea out there.

I'm going to test it but I doubt it will work all that well, especially long term when they start getting more graduates, they seem like the first ones that would be sent to the "inferior" brand</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrypotterhead Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 If we could set tv shows to venues and areas, Americans would probably have a better chance at dominating NJPW Strong. is NJPW strong a tour show or is it an actual weeky programming, because I think they are showing old matches for the tours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirMichaelJordan Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 is NJPW strong a tour show or is it an actual weeky programming, because I think they are showing old matches for the tours I would set it as a tour (highlight package) for the restrictions but it’s a TV show in the mod. I believe it is planned to be a taped TV show though. Same camera crew and building as CWFH if I’m not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hailthebulldog Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 NJPW Strong is new content right now, they're doing the NJ Cup USA on it. Rocky Romero confirmed that it's a new permanent 1 hr show on Axis TV. It's looking like this may be the start of their American promotion.

Vagrant Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 It's not on AXS TV. NJPW has no relationship of any kind with AXS now that Anthem bought them out. NJPW Strong is on NJPWWorld only right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburbanhell Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 @Questlove Heads up, the guys marked with scandal from Speak Out are all listed as Pro-****, not sure if that was deliberate or a mistake, I know there isn't a 1:1 match but I'd have thought Sex Tape or something would be more relevant, could still keep them at Devastating/3 Years or whatever duration you had going for them?

joemurphy Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Something to keep an eye on for a potential new company in the next update - GLEAT is a new promotion with Kiyoshi Tamura, NOSAWA, Kaz Hayashi & Riki Choshu. Edit: Add a new gimmick for Pegaso Iluminar, he's unmasked and now called Soma Watanabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually enjoying that video and then the subtitles stubbed part way through Riki's part so I couldn't follow along. I've never seen the Japanese UWF, but I hope it's not fake MMA style. I love Kaz Hayashi so I'll give it a shot regardless. Name is odd though. Anyone know what Gleat means? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oyaji Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 U Style is worked MMA that pretty much led to real MMA, so it may not be your cup of tea. I love it, however. To see the heights of what it can be, I recommend checking out Masakatsu Funaki vs. Tatsuo Nakano from the second iteration of UWF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it was awesome and I'm pretty sure I love the guy in green(Funaki?) https://youtu.be/vML7I1Ge1Yc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
