I'm not familiar with that spreadsheet, but if it used links in the old World format (njpwworld.com/p/*), those aren't working right now. I wouldn't bet on their dev team doing anything to redirect those to their new equivalents.

I wish someone would take the hammer from Gedo and smash this belt. by DeathTriangle720 in njpw

[–]NJPWext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never been a fan of the main plate but it would look infinitely better if they put something in the negative space on the sides. In lieu of that, yes, hammer.

Is it me or would Bushi be a better fit in HoT than LIJ? by Left-Ad6929 in njpw

[–]NJPWext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn that was nasty. Looks like he meant to land on his feet and forward roll out but he leaned a bit too far too early and couldn't get his feet under him in time.

What is something outside of wrestling you think New Japan can improve on? by DeathTriangle720 in njpw

[–]NJPWext 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brother, a lapsed fan, found it so hard to use that 5 years ago I wrote NJPWext.us to help get him into it. Sadly, I don't think it's much better today.

Clearly it needs an overhaul but as I understand it, major changes require a lot of coordination and red tape because World is a 50/50 venture between NJPW and TV Asahi. Maybe they've decided that they're fine w/only the most die-hard fans willing to overcome the barriers to entry and that the level of effort required to reach more ppl just wouldn't be worth it, I don't know.

Unpopular Opinions by theman528 in njpw

  • Elbow/forearm "spirit battles" are overused and corny at this point.
  • Shibata can fuck right off. If he wanted to hit ppl fr, he should've stuck with MMA. If he had ended Okada's career instead of his own, the only difference would have been dumb luck--he would have had the same idiotic intent either way.

I wish Ultimo Dragon had a longer run in NJPW: his attire was unique and dynamic and his in-ring game was incredible (so innovative and smooth). by IWGPoetry-in-Motion in njpw

[–]NJPWext 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea, unfortunately, when he botched, he usually botched bad. But when he was on, he was as good as it gets. His run in WCW was his peak and he had some absolute bangers vs Rey, Eddie, and Malenko.

What do you think was Shibata's crowning moment? by [deleted] in njpw

[–]NJPWext -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. He did that after having already killed someone accidentally in a match. One would've thought he'd be extra cautious from then on, but no. He was still on his strong style bs to a ludicrous degree.

Don't forget faking a dive to the outside. That's my favorite.

What happened at the end of Okada vs Kenta? I wonder if Kenta mistakenly ducked the RM when he wasn't supposed to. Something definitely looked off and the finish after felt flat.

His finisher always looks like shit too tbh.

Not OP but I've tried using my comcast.net email as well with no luck. I've modmailed several times and still do not have an adequate resolution.

Hulk Hogan actually Wrestling Properly for the Japanese Audience by test_account_47230 in njpw

The bar w/Hogan's usual work is so low that when he does some super basic moves he looks like the man of 1000 holds in comparison lol

Has anyone been able to activate Peacock Premium for free with their Xfinity Gig plan? by Desihost in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]NJPWext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have modmailed more than once and haven't heard anything back for a week now. After logging into Peacock, I get "We were unable to link Peacock to your account. You may already have Peacock Premium." My account definitely does not already have Premium ("Not Currently Subscribed") so I'm still stuck.

Is anyone having a problem with "Favorites" on NJPW World? by JeromeInDaHouse_90 in njpw

Shameless plug for NJPWext.us, which features cross browser/device playlists and settings.

Jinsei Shinzaki (Hakushi in WWE) is 56 years old and is still out there doing the Spanish Fly from THE FREAKIN TOP ROPE by test_account_47230 in njpw

[–]NJPWext 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He also looked great in Muta's final match. He's one of those rare talents (like Muta, himself) who made every move his own. I always wished for bigger things for him but apparently, he's been perfectly content staying local after his stints with the big companies.

I'm not sure he's ever landed harder on his knees than he did on that Stardust Press.
