    All the Bulletclub matches would set the juices flowing.

    Six man with Jarrett is very intriguing and would love to see Omega getting the Junior Heavyweight Title.

    If I was a gambling man I'd put my house, wife and kids on the main event being nothing less than five star.

    Gas that's the least intriguing match on the card for me seeing if Suzuki can get something out of Sakuraba fascinates me.

    I've been hearing so much about this event - seems Jarrett is doing a great job of promoting it in the West through GFW.

    I've always wondered what Japanese Wrestling would be like with English Commentary - now they've got one of the best in Jim Ross to call the action. Matt Striker on Colour could be great too.

    What are UWFI rules?

    From Yahoo Answers:

    The combatants would start with 15 points each, as points would be lost for knockout attempts, being at a disadvantage during a hold and/or for breaking a hold by grabbing onto the ring ropes with their hand(s) and/or feet.

    Tag team matches would be allowed as well, with 21 points given to a team at start time. However, the points system was rarely referred to, as a wrestler or team losing points could still win by forcing his opponent to submit or by knocking him out.

    Are these UWFI rules any good? Or they're presented as normal matches beyond announcing judges beforehand?

    It's not full uwfi rules it's just going to be a submission or KO only match no pin falls.

    Sorry about that lads was very insensitive for me to say Jap rather than Japanese, although I can assure everyone that there was no malice intended, tbh I hadn't realized it was regarded as a slur but ignorance isn't an excuse for that type of thing - it won't happen again


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    This hype video is amazing:



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,013 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    Great build-up vid - best thing I've heard Striker do in a long time. Laughed at "Okada went to TNA for almost two years. [pause]. He returned to Japan..." :P

    Few questions.

    1. What time will this be on at for us?

    2. Where and how can I watch it?

    Few questions.

    2. Where and how can I watch it?

    1.7am on Sunday morning

    2.By signing up to http://njpwworld.com but it's all in Japanese but it's a good bit cheaper,use Google Chrome to translate it here a video to help aswell.



    Or you get the English version through this https://www.flipps.com/ but you need a console or a smart tv.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,132 ✭✭✭Andy_rse


    After saying I wasn't impressed with the Flipps app in another thread, I've been using it quite a bit today watching the hype videos and there's been no buffering and the quality seems to be pretty reasonable so I may take the risk and get the show through that. There's an hd version of the app that costs 2 quid, I might check that out too.

    I'd happily watch with the Japanese commentary but JR calling it is a huge draw for me.


    Now I just need to figure out how to purchase the show.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,520 ✭✭✭Hashtag_HEEL


    I already have a sub to NJPW world, but ideally I'd like to hear Striker and Ross on commentary.

    Is Flipps any good? How much will it cost? If I'm not awake in time for it, is there an on-demand service or a repeat?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,132 ✭✭✭Andy_rse


    Flipps is just like streaming YouTube from your phone to your tv. Video quality is watchable but I worry about buffering. There doesn't appear to be an option to watch on a laptop/pc but you can watch on a tablet or phone. The cost is $35 and will be translated to local currency when buying (which I've yet to find a link for)

    I tweeted them about on demand and they said it will be available after the ppv replay at 7pm American time, so Monday morning I gather for us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭A Brad Maddox Guy


    Do you know if there's a workaround to get flipps through PS3/4? I know I can get it on my phone but I've no adapter to put it onto the telly an I'm not keen on watching it on such a small screen.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 618 ✭✭✭Pingi


    Watching live with Japanese commentary here, couldn't be listening to Matt Striker


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,520 ✭✭✭Hashtag_HEEL


    Oooh, not sold on Flipps then. Guess I'll stick with the NJPW feed and then hope the English version appears on the usual places later.

    I'm not seeing his oft used references to prior gimmicks i.e. calling Big Show "The Giant". Constantly. Or Nash "Big Daddy Cool"

    Q: I don't see Flipps on my PlayStation 3. What is wrong?

    A: Supporting PlayStation 3 got harder and harder, and we still couldn't give you the full hands-free Flipps experience. This is why we had to stop supporting it. You can still access your personal content from the menu of your PS3 by using the iMediaShare Personal app for iOS and Android


    http://support.flipps.com/entries/21219232-Frequently-Asked-Questions


    I've used PS3MediaServer to stream video files before.

    Also the odd baffling line:
    "Tie your mothers down its HHH" Erm........what?

    Tbh I don't miss him or JR on commentary even though its bad now they didn't improve it when they were last used.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,713 ✭✭✭Cianan2


    Mostly looking forward to the intercontinental match myself. Ibushi and Nakamura are currently (and have been for quite a while!) my two favourite wrestlers, so can't wait for this one! Loved their match from a few years ago


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭BohsJohnny


    It's such a great card people are hardly even talking about AJ vs Naito which going off their G1 match could be great so hyped for this whole show can't wait for Sunday morning.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    FINALLY bothered my arse and got NJPW World. Jaysus the screen quality compared to "alternative sources".

    That's the match I'm most looking forward to. Loved their G1 match.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Interesting match that. Naito needs a win and all the the help he can get in getting over. While AJ Styles is a big part of appealing to the US. I expect Styles to go balls to the wall not just because it would be AJ being AJ and its the Tokyo Dome but AJ does seem to most sincere when taking about how big of a deal Jim Ross calling his match is.

    I'd still have rathered Styles vs Okada as the main event. As good as Tanahashi is, we've seen him vs Okada quite a few times already. But then we've seen Tanahashi vs most people quite a few times too.

    It's crazy how far down the card I have to go to find a match that I don't expect to be at least very good. The Sakuraba match could go either way in terms of quality. The six and eight man tags are the only other matches that might not be up to much but considering some of the people involved, they should be at least entertaining matches.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 908 ✭✭✭Palo Alto


    Has anyone worked out how to book it on the Flipps app? I've it installed and a chromecast but all I can find are hype videos.

    The UI is absolutely dreadful!

    Ridiculous you can't just watch it on pc too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,132 ✭✭✭Andy_rse


    Nope they've really dropped the ball with it, they could've at least give some info on how to pay for it. The only thing I've seen which was on Twitter was that its an in-app purchase and your Google play store account will be debited.

    I imagine it will appear and you purchase it like the film's that are on the app.

    I agree with you about the interface, leaves a lot to be desired!

    If you weren't watching New Japan's press event thing this morning you've missed quite the strange, weird, boring, utterly baffling yet oddly captivating treat.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,114 ✭✭✭BohsJohnny


    All FOUR AND A HALF HOURS OF IT and counting,we're only getting wrestling matches now shortly.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Tapped out at 6am and this went another TWO AND A HALF HOURS

    Might want to hold back on watching live through Flipps according to this if you're using Chromecast or a Xbox it won't work live just the replay.

    Get NJPW World it is only a few Euro and you can easily cancel. The stream quality is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, no WWE Network style geo block and there's no buffering.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 908 ✭✭✭Palo Alto


    A friend has it, he uses my Network account in exchange, I'll watch it there, just silly that I was willing to pay for English commentary and they make it so hard!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,520 ✭✭✭Hashtag_HEEL


    €30 to watch in English. That's utter bollokcs. I'll stick to my NJPW world sub and do my usual call the match in my head schtick

    That's all before the show starts then you have to worry about buffering and crashes. I've been through the wars with Internet Pay Per Views over the years with ROH and other Indies. Nothing ruins your buzz more than that stuff. Then you wait/fight for refund.

    An annoying thing with some other fans online is that they think all Wrestling is as complex as WWE or TNA and needs to be explained to them like a child. They then refuse to listen to the fact that New Japan's storylines largely so basic. Man wants to beat the other man as it will itch him closer to the title. I get wanting to listen to Jim Ross potentially one last time. But paying 5 times the price to have a product so basic explained to you by announcers with vaguely decent product knowledge themselves? No chance mate.

    If you what get to know what's going on you catch up with

    that match would never have mainevented anyway. tanahashi is the number one guy in the promotion clearly and he has only failed to mainevent one toyko dome show since 2007. okada was champion this time a year ago and didn't mainevent.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 787 ✭✭✭Deadlie


    Not sure if its any use to you guys, but I use the Flipps app to stream things from my tablet to the telly/xbox and just there I got a push notification from it, to say that I could watch WrestleKingdom on it. I've not used it to watch things on (I just use it to mirror), so I can't guarantee anything in terms of quality/reliability, but it could be an option for some of you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭A Brad Maddox Guy


    My internet has been terrible the last number of days. I've been downloading a 2gb show on Sky On Demand for 9 hours now and it's still not finished so I don't think I'll be watching this in the morning :pac:
