    Has anyone here watched Dreamer's promotion HOH? I watched their latest event a few weeks ago and it was incredible.

    25 bux to order the PPV online? d---, didn't it used to be 15?

    Oh well, probably wouldn't order tonight anyways since there's a good football game on. The card looks good though, might watch some of the matches later.

    Man, I really need to get back into some ROH because aside from NXT, WWE just isn't doing it for me these days.

    Yup, should be a great wrestling match!

    Rollins won the cage match against Cena so they are pushing young talent. I mean Seth Rollins is basically the top heel in the WWE now. But the WWE is hit and miss these days,

    Name is pure gangster!

    Great little NJPW match here, at this point I'd rather watch these type of matches over any WWE match. Tanahashi is like the Cena of NJPW but just much more talented and Shibata is just a badass striking MFer. Love the psychology behind a lot of stuff in this match, half of the match is basically only strikes, and then they both start working on the legs. Loved how it's all strikes and then out of nowhere a figure 4 is applied and the leg games begin. Other things I've noticed, not many irish whips used in the entire match, its ones of things I find makes wrestling look staged, that and all the closed fist/punches, which is not a factor in this since they use forearms instead, believe it or not it changes the realism of the match drastically. Tanahashis finisher is great too, its a crossbody/frogsplash combo that looks sweet.

    Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Katsuyori Shibata

    If anyone finds a stream of the English Broadcast, can they mention me? The website I go on isn't showing English until tomorrow night.

    Tomorrow night is too late? I mean the show is starting at 2am ET...you are going to stay up to watch the 4 hour show?

    I won't be looking for a stream because I joined the NJPWWorld.com website, for 10$ its worth it. Especially since I was about to pay 11.99 CAD for the WWE Net Pak in Canada, for PPV's mostly but now I prefer getting to watch some New Japan stuff instead.

    Yeah I don't work anymore, so staying up late doesn't bother me. The website I use isn't showing it until like 7 PM in English. I'd much rather watch it in English then Japanese.

    Well with Jim Ross and Striker on commentary, I think the English commentary is going to make the event bit more enjoyable. Especially when you know Striker will be studying all the facts and JR will bring the emotion.

    JR and Striker are there live though, so there has to be some live English commentary....
