10 Things New Japan Does Better Than WWE
7. Commentary
You know if you watch football and the commentators give us the same clichéd, carbon-copy spiel each and every week, and then you watch a video compilation of Mexican commentators reacting to goals and wonder why the hell we don’t have that? I don’t speak Japanese, and I don’t need to. Watching New Japan with Japanese commentary is a delight and if you don’t believe me then just Google ‘Lariatooo!’ and see how unbelievably hyped people can get for a clothesline. It’s just sublime. Give me unintelligible excitement over Michael Cole’s feigned surprise any day of the week.
Plus if that doesn’t tickle your fancy, good ol’ JR often makes appearances for New Japan’s biggest events.
