It's that time of the year again, for New Japan Pro Wrestling's The New Beginning pay-per-view series, beginning with February 11th's Osaka show, which was headlined by Kazuchika Okada defending the IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Hirooki Goto. Whether you're a hardcore NJPW fan or a newbie who only started watching after hearing all that buzz about Wrestle Kingdom 10, it's time to check out the hilarity, the eccentricity and the stiff moves that make the company what it is. A rock solid show on the whole as fans should expect from NJPW, the bigger matches may have had their thunder stolen somewhat by the fantastic IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match, but duds were in short supply, and high-octane action was at a sure high. From some savage near-finishes to insane low blows, very rude words and everything in-between, here are 27 WTF moments from NJPW New Beginning In Osaka 2016. And of course, once you've read all about Osaka, keep your eye out for our WTF rundown from the Niigata leg of New Beginning...
27. Gedo Shouts "Get Up Motherf***er!"
The WTF begins in the second match of the night, as Chaos takes on Jushin Thunder Liger, Ryusuke Taguchi and Tiger Mask in a six-man tag. During the bout, Gedo kicks Taguchi in the butt, causing him to fall down to one knee, at which point Gedo hilariously shouts, "Get up, motherf***er!", as he runs across the ropes and gets a butt-load of Taguchi in his face for his troubles.
