>>6222599I have found a little guide from last year(?) I have made, here:
"
You really don't have to do much homework before watching, English commentary helps a lot, just sit back and relax.
Two main rules different from US promotions are refs counting to 20 instead of 10 for count outs and being more lenient for DQs outside the ring.
If you want to get familiar with some NJPW storylines and wrestlers, watch NJPW FACTORS, NJPW RECOUNT and their "History of..." series for stables.
Showbuckle and Real Neat Puro had great videos about NJPW, but these have been taken down.
However, it appears someone made an archive of 12 Showbuckle videos, search online for "showbuckle-pack", they are on archive dot org, it's easy to find and these are really worth a watch.
An older guide to New Japan with some match recommendations and few updated links can be found at paste bin dot com slash G0aJq3Fj
