Enjoyer of Evil and Bloody Women

I've been seeing a lot of AEW fans who aren't sure how to watch the upcoming Wrestle Dynasty show, so here's a brief explanation!

Wrestle Kingdom, Wrestle Dynasty, and NJPW's big "mystery card" show New Year Dash are all included with a NJPW World subscription at no additional charge! All you have to do to watch them is subscribe to NJPW World.

A 30-day NJPW World subscription is $9.99 USD. The subscription will allow you to watch shows as they're streaming live, and watch them in the archive after they've aired. It also gives you access to the rest of the videos in the archive.

You can subscribe whenever you want - you'll get 30 days of membership starting when you subscribe. Just be aware that the subscription renews on Japan-time, so if you only want a month, cancel a day early to make sure the time zone difference doesn't get you.

All three shows will have live English language commentary. To change the commentary language on any match, click the gear button on the bottom left corner of the video and select English audio.

The app should default to English. The website is also available in English - If it doesn't default to English for you, just click the button on the upper right corner to switch it to English.

You can subscribe in the app, but I don't know if the app stores add any additional fees, so I'd suggest subscribing on their website to be safe.

Shows taking place in Japan will of course happen on Japan-time, which tends to be late night or early morning in the US.

Wrestle Dynasty is scheduled early to accommodate American viewers - it starts at 1 PM Japan-time, which is 11 pm EST / 8 pm PST. If you want to watch the livestream, I suggest hitting play about 5 minutes before the show is actually scheduled to begin - sometimes the service gets overwhelmed right as big shows start and everyone starts watching all at once.

The other shows air at more standard times in Japan, which means later at night from the US, so if you want to watch them live from the US you'll have to wake up early or stay up late. But you can also just watch the archived shows later.

Wrestle Kingdom is New Japan's biggest show of the year, and absolutely worth watching. It will air on 1/4, the day before Wrestle Dynasty. Each year of NJPW is structured like a season of a TV show, and Wrestle Kingdom is the climax of the different stories from the previous year. You can think of it as the "season finale" for NJPW's 2024 season.

New Year Dash is New Japan's annual "surprise card" show. It will be on 1/6 this year. New Year Dash functions as the first episode of a "new season" of NJPW, by introducing new storylines for the new year. There are always some big surprising events, and it's likely that at least some wrestlers from AEW will show up for it this year.

I'm just going to reblog this again because I saw that Triller is trying to charge people almost $50 for Wrestle Kingdom and Wrestle Dynasty?

DO NOT PAY $47.99 FOR THIS! You can get it for $9.99 instead!

You can see both of these shows for $9.99 on NJPW World!

And you will also get New Year Dash (the surprise NJPW card on 1/6) and the entire back catalogue of NJPW shows too!

It's honestly making me mad that Triller is trying to charge almost $50 for a show that people can see for $9.99!

interesting seeing it from this angle, that nick’s the one who calls matt over to jack and looks the happiest to see him. and is the only one who seems to really register/care that he’s grouchy. I’ve always found nick to be fairly indifferent to jack, esp compared to matt being his dad who is so invested in him, but did matt really just lose interest after they ran off to work from home :x the turn on them has been inevitable for a long while, but if it comes in part from matt just not noticing.. 😪

autistic man aware he has failed this interaction (saw the 🧍‍♂️➖➖ appearing over jack’s head) but uncertain why

PAUSE

This year, NJPW is posting a series of free matches to their YouTube channel in preparation for the Best of the Super Juniors!

They've been going through this year's participants and posting select matches to highlight each wrestler. If there are any guest wrestlers from other promotions who you aren't familiar with, or if you're new to NJPW, this would be a great way to get some familiarity with the participants before the tournament begins!

They haven't posted a match for everyone yet, but they've been posting new matches pretty regularly and I expect they'll post one for everyone. Also, NJPW always takes these types of free matches down eventually, so if there's one you want to see, watch it while you can!

haters will say he's juicing
