I'll just dolapost here about something cause I think it's that important.

NJPW has -- as we've discussed here aplenty -- a pretty high bar for entry.

If someone really wants to get into it, really wants to understand the characters beyond just spot match level, the post-match press stuff they do is pretty damned important. You cannot really understand the characters without what they reveal in the interview room. From the weirdness to the obnoxious to the underdeveloped to the perplexing to the Cena-esque, since they don't really do skits and set pieces the way U.S. companies do, the interview room is where alllll that stuff is put across.

There's nothing wrong with just watching NJPW as spot matches, you'll get some bangers. But if you really want to get the full experience, the interview stuff is really important, things that happen in the ring will make a lot more sense a lot more often.
