[Fightful] NJPW Announces Changes To NJPW World, Including iOS, Android, And Roku Apps

Current NJPW app on iOS is catastrophe, so I’m actually looking forward to the new service. Having to go to the website, selecting the video and the „chromecasting“ it to the app always felt like a clutch solution.

For (us) Europeans the price hike isn’t that much., so I will stay subscribed even though I currently haven’t that much time to watch wrestling at all. :(

[Meltzer] Moxley diagnosed with minor concussion (Update)

While it really sucks that Mox got hurt, it also shows a lot of sportsmanship from him. Putting Fenix over was the right decision. I bet that Mox didn’t knew how bad or not bad he was injured, but still called the audible to put the belt on Fenix.

I hope he recovers quickly to give us a run with the International Championship belt that is worthy as the Orange Cassidy run.

[Discussion] Pro Wrestling 2023 - A year in review! What was your favourite...everything?

My personal highlight this year was going to All In in London from Germany. Disgusting expensive four days in London, but worth every penny. Went to the Revolution Pro Anniversay Show on the day before All In to to see Will Osprey vs. Shingo Takagi and was blown away by that show, with suprise appearance by Skye Blue, Mickey James and Chris Jericho and whole lot of RevPro and NJPW talent.

All In was spectacular, the atmosphere was crazy. Beeing surrounded by nearly 80.000 wrestling fans is something I will never forget. I wish I had a better view though, the action in the ring is hard to follow if you're sitting to far away.

The downside of the weekend was the trip back home. Monday after All In the air traffic control in the UK broke down, my flight got canceled, had to reschedule onto the next day just to get it canceled again. So I had to spent two extra days in London and had to take the train to Brussels, from Brussels to Cologne and form Cologne to Berlin. Luckily the airline had to cover all the additional expenses.

The WWE House show in Berlin was also very good.

And now some general thoughts: AEW: I wish AEW would feature more women than just Toni Storm, Skye Blue, Julia, Willow, Saraya, Ruby Soho and Hikaru Shida. One match per show is is not enough. On the plus side though, Julia has really improved a lot since joining the House of Black. Orange Cassidy has really one me over with his first title rain as International Champion, even though I think it was a little too long.

NJPW: Eddie Kingston in the G1 was really fun to see. Lowlight of NJPW for me was EVIL stealing Sanadas belt and proclaiming himself champion. House of Torture is such a trainwreck that I usually skip their matches. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to watch NJPW regularly.

AEW FULL GEAR Predictions Thread

MJF vs. Jay White: MJF

MJF & TBA vs. The Gunns: this one is hard. I could see a case for both teams to win, but I think it will be MJF and TBA that will stand tall.

Storm vs. Shida: Shida retains, IMO it’s still to early for the Timeless Toni Storm character to get crowned.

Cassidy vs. Moxley: Mox wins and we finally get the run we should have got if it weren’t for the concussion.

Hangman vs. Swerve: Hangman

TBS Match: Julia Hart

Tag Team Ladder Match: the champs retain Sting, Allin and Not-Edge-anymore vs. CC, Luchasaurus and the son of the late Buddy Wayne: I go with CC so that he can rub it in everyone’s face that he „retired“ Sting early.

Golden Jets vs. Bucks: this goes to the young bucks, they will steal the win

Claudio vs Mathew’s: Claudio

Eddie vs Lethal: Eddie retains
