>>14553587and they plan on having another one in june? this is probably the last year they do this right?
>>14553587the ace that runs the place
>>14553639I'm glad Muto retired just before nippon puroresu died, his legacy will never be tarnished
Do you think this is what tonikan wanted?Forbbiden sales are also mid
>>14553587is Inoki dead in that picture?
@njpw1972 plz
>>14553587>6 (six) promotions doing a super show>Can't even fill a warehouse Good thing Inoki and Bab are dead and not seeing the grim state of the business they built
>>14553688it is Inoki-san's wrestle dream after all.>>14553707nah he's just wrestle dreaming
>>14553587It is a fact that they don't draw fans like they used to but most of the people who like these kind of sports were probably at the Tokyo Dome watching Inoue.
*Ahem* Kill yourself, ATsuji tranny
>>14553735Inoki wouldn't care. He lost his passion for wrestling in the late 80's. His real wrestle dream was always Pride.
>>14553672nigga looking like a fucking troll ass geek
Anyone have a magnet link or place I can watch that All together show?
>>14553844the silver is nice but he needs to make orange his main color
>>14553740>nah he's just wrestle dreamingkek what dream matches is inoki-san cooking up?
>>14553955>prease... Tony-sama... Brian Cage vs Shane Taylor... it is my final wrestle dream...
>>14553955Jeong Mokusu Lee vs Edikin as the WK main event.
>>14553587I hope you're all happy. I take Jay White, Will Ospreay and Kazuchika Okada. You get our hardcam side. Fair deal.
>>14553639Inoki would be proud of this
>>14554005>>14554015man i cant wait for wrestledream season to start. these posts cracked me up.

Scapegoat is still in House of Torture but he's wrestling Chaos guys. I have a feeling something strange may happen here.
>>14554421kill yourself
>>14554793what in God's name are you talking about? we only discuss New Japan here.

>>14554395I wish I got to see Inoki try to box
>>14553685>>14553639Speaking of Muto, i know this is All Japan but had this goofy little tag match pop up in my timeline. Goldust sticks out like a sore thumb and Hakushi is still one of the best looks ever. Also the duo spray with Muta and Tajiri was great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KUN3C_3eZU
>>14553587Tony's fault
Fujita aside, what are the best under 25 puroresu prospects?Can you even name 5?
So does Tana win the G1 and beat Moxley for the IWGP?
>>14557268battered wife syndrome
The more I learn about the booking change in 87 the more I support Gedo exiting for someone else with a new vision for the younger guys. Their attendance is still stable so post-G1 would be a perfect start.
>Shingo Bangerino we coming for you Nigga
>>14557598>Their attendance is still stableIf by stable, you mean in a downward spiral.
>>14556312wrestling magazines still exist? and one that releases weekly no less
>>14557631Dontaku tour was up slightly from last year, so no I don't
What is Naito doing at Dominion then?
>>14553587So when the fed went to Japan and only did 8k it was considered a failure but when all the Japanese wrestling companies hold a show and they can't even get half of that it's okay? Grim
>>145578666 man tag match
>>14557598>for someone else with a new vision for the younger guys.Who, I wonder?Maybe Nagata?Surely Nagata would value pushing guys who need to be pushed after what he went through.But Nagata seems happy to just be a coach.
>>14557440>battered wife syndromeIt's just the realityThe only way Japanese wrestling becomes competitive with the west again is if they somehow equal its TV revenue stream or if the revenue streams for WWE and AEW collapse or maybe Tony Khan gets hit by a meteor or something
>>14553587Wait a second, is Tony Khan that much of a mark for Japanese wrestling that he wishes to emulate them in every way including performing for a bunch of empty seats?!
>>14554395That guy is so tiny, he even gets towered over by Japanese girls lol. Although he's probably swimming in japussy too since it's been a long time that japan had a guy in combat sports that they could call national hero. The last two I could think of were Yoshida & Sakuraba.
If Gabe beats Kiyomiya and becomes the GHC Champion, will /njpw/ call it out like they call out AEW?
>>14557866>No Naito singles match at Dominion>Finlay vs SANADA>Moxley vs EVILhow the fuck will they manage to draw a dime ?
Yappari, the state of puroresu brings shame to Nihon.
>>14558514>Don't worry Inoki, I'll save it for you (as soon as someone hires me)
>Hobbs (lol, lmao even)>Narita (full HOT interference mode)>Shota (Geek in America)>Takeshita >EVILMox's reign is gonna produce one good match and it'll be on Dynamite. Grim

>>14557094Muto had many weird matches in the 00s. I wish there was a place where I can watch HUSTLE. I want to watch his match with Takeuchi Riki.
you can always count with NOAH to outcringe NuJapan
>>14558667To be fair, Nakajima shoot knocking out Edikin sounds like my kinda dream match
for that anon still crying about Kongo
Predict the Dominion card and how empty Osaka Jo Hall will be

>>14553587>and then they told me that lucharesu ladyboys are a draw!
The problem is all the next generation guys that are getting pushes now just feel like "We have <Tana, Naito, Shibata, etc.> at home." parody wrestlers.
>>14558545He was there in spirit. Shota (NJPW) is Mox's young boy and Takeshita (DDT) is Mox's rival on Dynamite. 9 different Japanese promotions of UJPW are co-hosting these All Together events but the commentary was still talking about AEW and Jon Moxley during the main event. This is the power of AEW. This is the impact AEW has had on the Japanese puroresu world.
>>14558867Based retardnian
>>14553587B-But...the dark ages were still worse b-bro...I was there in the 2000s bro...It was much w-worse...What?!! I'm serious!!! No bro, really! I'm telling you it was much worse.
>>14557866This All Together is supposed to feature the alliance members that didn't perform at Budokan if I remember. Hope everyone likes All Japan, Ganbare, and Tokyo Joshi to be featured.
>>14558451>>Finlay vs SANADAWhere is this match coming from? I've seen it predicted a few times now. I'll like SANADA to have a Global Title run, but I fear he would have to lose to Jack Perry at FD3
>>14558905The so called 'dark ages' at least had lots of kino and was generally a completely insane and wild time with PRIDE, K1, RINGS and NJPW all co-existing in some bizarre combat sports utopia.Now it's just sad. The wrestlers all look like fucking geeks with stupid hair desperately trying to appeal to fujoshi.At least Japanese boxing is booming.
>>14558862Is this a post that you forgot to post last year? Fucking retarded faggot
>>14558962The Finlay swagger challenged him in his post fight interview after he got the dimeless global belt backSANADA will lose another big match because Gaydo doesn't know what the fuck he's doing.

A return to Inokism is the only thing that can save New Japan.
if they want to convince me that moxley is not an outsider then they should officially change his name to johnny mossan
>>14559529agreed
>>14557598Gedos control of booking was reduced since the pandemic, which is probably a major source of their issues. They have a team of guys now, and those are who Ibushi had problems with. The company suddenly doing a lot more comedy and dumb shit and hotshotting titles was not Gedo.
>>14557879Look at the crowd shots, 4k is clearly a kayfabe number, they had nowhere nar that.
>>14558964>The wrestlers all look like fucking geeks with stupid hair desperately trying to appeal to fujoshi.What do you mean?
>>14558696Nakajima needs to knock out one of these larping shitters and forever put them in their place.
Attendance at this All Together should be ignored because they were stupid enough to run the event parallel to a boxing match drawing 50k people in the Dome. We shall judge how grim New Japan and Japanese wrestling is at Dominion and the next All Together.MOU IKKAIMOU IKKAITHE ATTENDANCE THIS TIME DOESN'T COUNT YOMOU IKKAIMOU IKKAINAITO VS LEE WILL DRAW THE DIMES ALL TOGETHERRR
>>14558667he really did say that btw
>>14559605Taichi is right when he says a New Japan show alone would draw better than All TogetherNot even Naito will carry the anti-draw that is Jake Lee.
>>14557866>Naruki Doi said that he wants to defend the Twin Gate belts outside of DragongateThrow them against Catch 22
>>14559605Less than 1% of the people who went to watch the boxing fight would ever go to w wrestling show. This and the yen being worthless are tranny cope for the entire scene being ice cold.
>>14559556you have no idea what you're talking about. the "shadow booker" that Ibushi was having a problem with was an office drone. that story exposed western dirtsheets as STILL having no clue what's going on in Japan. the reality is that the booking process in Japan is traditionally opaque. we know Gedo is supposedly head booker, and we know there's a committee. that's it.
>>14559713>You have no idea>But what you said is trueK? They have gimmick match and comedy shitter ojichan on the committee and suddenly started booking way more of that. Not a mystery.
>>14559751yeah there weren't any gimmick matches in NJPW in the 2010s. certainly not during Omega's title reign. you're spouting headcanon that you have no proof of.
The Korean saboteur Jeong-mok Suri's disastrous reign continues.
what did anons think of Dontaku?
>>14559946If you skip the undercard tags enjoyable, but nothing special. Gabe vs Bangerino ruled though.
>>14559751You just know that guys like Yano and Honma are probably in that booking committee
>>14559946im gay so my favorite match was ziggler vs tanahashi
did New Japan ever find that USB with their fans personal info?
>>14560653big thighs Gabe drew all the fag dimes
It's amazing how none of you seem to realize that Shota Umino is about to be poached to AEW very soon. It's like nobody learned anything from Ospreay vs Omega last year.
>>14560700There's a difference between not knowing and not caring.
>>14557638pdf/epub maybe?
fuck rocky
>>14560700cant happen soon enough
>>14557041Inoki did have boxing matches. This one is with German boxer Karl Mildenbergerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=3yD1mrcQXiE&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fmiskolcinyomda.hu%2F&feature=emb_imp_woyt&ab_channel=%E3%82%AA%E3%82%A6%E3%82%AC%E5%AF%BA%E5%86%85%E6%97%A9%E6%A8%B9%E3%81%AE%E7%AC%AC2%E4%BF%9D%E7%AE%A1%E5%BA%ABAlso, after this match, Inoki fought Bock Roland, the promoter.
>>14561147Fun fact, one of the guys that used to work for Roland Bock in Germany was the guy who played Viggo the Carpathian in Ghostbusters 2. He worked a Nazi gimmick with his father, but the funny part is that his father was a shoot Nazi and had worked as a guard at a concentration camp.
>>14560700Sure hope so
>>14561147>Inoki had a boxing matchHoly fuck. I literally learn something new about him everyday.>>14561172>Viggo the Carpathian in Ghostbusters 2I know him from the movie, but didn't know he started as a pro-wrestler.
>>14561333He started as a boxer, then got into prowrestling. In wrestling he worked an angle with his father where they were brothers and nazis. I don't know how they got away with working a nazi gimmick in post war Germany, but it is what it is.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_von_Homburg
>>14560700If that geek can't even get over in Japan, there's no chance he'll get over in Tony's Toxbox
>>14560700This post brought to you by a schizoid who has Tony Khan living in his walls.
>>14561147>>14561500Inoki is a fake tough guy bitch who lost every real fight he ever got inhe even lost this FAKE FIGHT where he tries to shoot on based German Bock who DESTROYS and HUMILIATES HIMpathetichttps://streamable.com/xyfwe7
>>14561862Hes not living in anon's walls hes in mine. He saw me throw some sloppy forearms when i was doing some stretches the other day and now he keeps whispering me to sign a contract and work a match with Eddie Kingston.
if these walls could talk
>>14561147First time hearing about Inoki boxing. What's the backstory?
>>14562256Roland Bock wanted a more MMA/Shoot Style presentation of wrestling in Germany. He decided to run his own tour that would showcase a bunch of legit athletes and multiple fighting style in worked shoot competition called Catch Europa. He had heard about Inoki's fight with Ali and about some of the stuff Inoki was doing in Japan and so booked him to come work in Germany as part of the tour. Inoki was going to work his way through the tournament and then face Bock in the main event of the finals. In one of the preliminary matches Inoki faced Karl Mildenberger in a boxing match. He also faced judoka Willem Ruska, who had worked in NJPW prior, in a Judo match as well as Austrian Olympic wrestlers Eugen Wiesberger Jr. and Wilfried Dietrich in Greco-Roman matches. There was also a Dutch Kickboxer, a French Savate practitioner, as well as a bevy of European and Japanese catch style wrestlers on the tour.
>>14562326>>14562256>>14562043>>14561500>>14561147Oh, and the full Inoki/Bock match can be found here.https://archive.org/details/catch-europa-tournee-1978-in-stuttgart-roland-bock-vs.-antonio-inoki-25-11-1978It's 50 minutes of worked shoot goodness.
>>14562256Like the other anon explained, Inoki participated in a MMA tour in Europe. He entered as Killer Inoki (one of Inoki's popular nicknames at that time) after he changed his combat style in a series of MMA matches in Japan prior to the tour, most notablly against Ruska, Ali and Monsterman. He had a total of 20 matches in 6 countries over a period of 23 days. He won 12 matches, had 7 draws and lost 1 via judges decision. Fun fact, Inoki entered the tour with a shoulder injury.
>>14562326>>14562675The real story is that Bock booked the tour and then Inoki big leagued everyone in every single match and refused to sell for anyone, and put himself over the reason Bock no-sells him in the final is because Bock was sick of his shit and wasn't going to let himself get big-leagued in GermanySo he taught Inoki a lessonAlso another interesting wrinkle is that Gotch warned Inoki that he could not take Bock in a shoot and advised him against trying.
>>14562697Inoki was supposed to go over everyone in the tourney and make it to the finals you dumb fuck. It was a worked shoot. I literally posted the full video just a couple of posts above you. If you think that was a shoot you have to be a street shitter because I don't understand how else you could be that much of a mark. Bock went into debt because of Catch Europa since he promised Inoki the majority of the gate. There is a literal book Bock collaborated on that goes over all of this.https://www.amazon.de/BOCK-Kampf-gegen-Stiere-selbst/dp/3950493409Bock was just kind of a self-mark faggot that had mental issues and liked to work stiff and despite his claims that he wanted to make wrestling realistic and have a shoot presentation did shit like wrestle a bear, had topless women boxing on his cards, and staged a car crash angle at one of his show. Bock's sports entertainment bullshit and being a massive self mark almost killed wrestling in Germany to the point where even 40 fucking years later it still hasn't recovered to where it was before he started. For fucks sake he got wrestling banned on German TV for almost 20 years by having two guys go out and do a double blade job that was so sloppy it made the Mass Transit incident look like a WWE blood capsule job.
>>14562793Are you Germanic?
>>14562793>did shit like wrestle a bear, had topless women boxing on his cards, and staged a car crash angle at one of his show.Sounds incredibly based when you add BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF AND HUMILIATED ANTONIO INOKI to his list of credentialsStay mad Inokiniggerand just take the L

>it's the AEW bait schizoSigh, can't believe I even replied once to such a retard
>>14562326>>14562675Thank you, based Inoki historians.
I'm not going to lie, brosit still pisses me off that Inoki didn't put over Fujinami until 1989 for fuck's sake and only then did it at Choshu's urging when he had the bookWhy, bros? Why? Fujinami was the most loyal disciple Inoki ever had. He was over, he was a star. Why the fuck didn't Inoki put him over until he was basically aged out of his prime?The Dragon is the most disrespected wrestler in Japanese wrestling history. Makes what happened to Nagata in the 00s look like an all-time great run by comparison.
Soon Edkin
Why did Fujita name his finish "Abandon Hope"? Is he ok?
>>14563996It's a warning to Nujamals that they should abandon hope because Nujamal is officially finished.
>>14557598Tenzan can finally put his ankles to rest and create the future
>>14563325Inoki did a lot of retarded shit even in the 80s. He's lucky he got Vader in spite of arguably the biggest fuckup after not putting Fujinami over sooner.
>>14563325Inoki lost his passion for wrestling and didn't care.
>>14564549What do you think killed it for him?UWF coming out and basically being what he wanted NJPW to be?
>>14564633The fakeness of it. He longed to be a shoot tough guy and get the same level of respect as legit athletes. Pride and UFC is what he always wanted pro wrestling to be.
>>14565066The irresistible forward posture meets the immovable backwards posture
>>14565066It did not shock me one bit to see Sekimoto and Ishii be the exact same height
English BOSJ needs Gino
I was rewatching the New Beginning in Sapporo shows. I know pretty much everyone thinks Tama Tonga is a shitter but I liked the way he went out of New Japan. He might have been a shitter but I will miss him in New Japan bros. He also seemed legitimately emotional about leaving New Japan unlike that cunt Okada who was clearly shedding crocodile tears and was excited about joining trannyEW. You could just see the excitement and the happiness on his face. Tama loved New Japan more than Okada ever did...
>>14567080I thought his match was one of the best at WK, I was surprised. Yes yes Shingo Bangerino whatever, it was really enjoyable regardless.
>>14567080Tama's best work was right at the end of his NJPW run sadlyAnd honestly that does not reflect well on him because it means he only tried when he knew he was courting WWE interest and gearing up for a WWE run, which means he was coasting like a bitch and not giving a full effort for most of his time in Japan.These are the sad facts.
>>14567141It's just weird that him and Loa were scouted and left so long into their NJPW runs and at their current ages, unless it really is just some cheap filler shit to prolong the Samoan clowncar storyline
>>14567080Tama got a bad rap, especially from western fans
>>14567161It makes sense if guys like Finn Balor and AJ Styles put in a good word for Tama. They will probably also pair Tama with Balor and Styles somewhere down the line when they are finally done with this Bloodline crap.
>>14567080Tama isn't bad, it's just Tanga Loa is a shitter
>>14567141I liked his early work in New Japan, during Devitt and AJ era Bullet Club when he was just a vicious, foul-mouthed heel. I felt my enjoyment for him fade during the tale end of Kenny Club during the whole BC/Elite Civil War stuff just before AEW, and he only really got back on the wagon in the last 6 months or so of his New Japan run.I'm still glad he didn't choose to become a tranny, and Tonga Loa still never got over for me. Hikuleo has really improved in the last 6 months though, so I will be a bit sad if he fucks off after June.
just watched this match from dominion 2009. great stuff was tana still a heel at this point?
>>14568380
>>14567247Apparently it was Karl Anderson who referred Tama Tonga to Triple H. Unsure if he said the truth though.Karl Anderson claims he told Triple H to sign Tama Tonga after their match last year:“After my Tokyo Dome match in 2023, which Triple H let me do. I re-signed with WWE, and I was still a champion in New Japan, and he still allowed me to go back and do two matches with New Japan Pro-Wrestling with no issue at all, But I remember texting Triple H and telling him, ‘Tama Tonga’s contract’s coming up. I think Tama’s a full-blown, a can’t-miss, if you ask me.’ He wrote back right away, and it took a year to get it done, but now he’s here,"
>>14568161I have a hard time picturing WWE not wanting to poach the shit out of Hikuleo with how he's been the past year, especially with Loa finding his way in.
>>14553587Hey /njpw/. I asked last year about NJPW World and anons here told me not to subscribe yet because the library was purged or something, and to wait for a while. Is the library still dead? There are Inoki and Musketeers matches I'm dying to watch but can't find anywhere.
>>14567080I will always remember when Tama threw the ROH belts against the wall and cut a shoot promo in MSG when Greg Gilleland booked Enzo & Cass to do an angle without telling the New Japan side. The final years of ROH were an amazing train wreck.
>>14567080I never got the hate for Tama. He wasn’t amazing in the ring but his work was fine and he was never pushed beyond the tag division for most of his run. His promos were usually entertaining. Loa, on the other hand, had one single thing going for him and that’s his body and the dumbass wore a shirt.
>>14568638Indeed, if they went for Loa after managing to attract Tama then surely they want the good one too. I feel like the only thing going for Loa is that he already knows the WWE house style, but Hikuleo could actually be a next tall mastodon type monster as long as he could put a little more muscle in the shoulders to fit their intended look.
JEONG MOSQUE LI
>>14568643Bushiroad doesn't own the rights to those old matches. TV Asahi owns the rights to almost all of those old NJPW shows outside of a few Bushiroad has been willing to buy back.
JEONG MOSQUE LI vs JAKE LEE for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship will happen this year
>>14569540What does TV Asahi even do with them?
>>14569677Shows reruns on tele from time to time if they need to fill programming schedules, collects licensing money when somebody wants to use footage from them. Basically squats the rights these days.
>>14568643Which Inoki and Musketeers matches you wanna watch?
>>14568643you're better off just searching the names/dates of the match on Dailymotion. there's a ton of old stuff there.
Battle of the Super Judaizers
Was looking at the roster and New Japan has just enough roster members to have a compelling 20 man G1, which totally means we are getting 32 again. I am thinking BOSJ might be better this year if they really feel the need to keep the field that big. They would have to bring in a bunch of outsiders and force dudes like Yujiro to wrestle, truly grim.
>>14566542desperately. i think chris is doing a surprisingly decent solo job but house of torture needs pure kino gino to help save njpw
I find it remarkable that anyone can listen to Chris Charlton for an entire show. His voice is offensive.
>>14570236NJ looks so bush league having their main play by play guy; in other words the most important dude on commentary missing for so long. Charlton is a great third mic color guy, but he is not someone who should be doing play by play. I wish New Japan actually took the English comms seriously and just hired Walker, Gino, and a live translator (like they do in Rizin) full time instead of the shit they are currently doing.
>>14570279Walker fucked up his visa, that's why he's been off the shows in Japan. that one isn't on NJPW.
you faggots should go watch aew and wwe if you want english commentary
>>14570279walker and gino were getting so fun at the end of their run too.>>14570261you aint lying. i really only catch the major shows rather than the road-tos so its nice to get updated on things since i cant understand japanese well. do love me some milano on commentary though
>>14570319Face it, Japenese commentary is cringeworthy
>>14570319No thanks I like watching wrestling that actually takes itself seriously.
>>14570341Face it, being ironic weeb is cringeworthy.
>no more guerilla tactics in njpww-whaaat..
Especial...
Okada never had any interest in giving anything back to Japanese professional wrestling. I swear if I ever see this dumb cunt in front of me, I'mma....
>>14568643Tony Khan will soon purchase all the old NJPW media library from Bushiroad or ABEMA or whoever so you will be able to watch most of those matches on AEW's streaming service next year.
>>14571501I could see Tony making a play for as much of the libraries he can get, including WWE's non WWE content. Wouldn't even be about money for him for that kind of stuff, just a because-he-can type of thing.
I ignored and reported the post just above me
>>14571439Good morning sirs

why is the website not working i want to look at the bosj cards
>>14561333>>14561147An Inoki boxing match lol.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV4gz1-cNFIThis randomly showed up in my recommends, which is weird because I don't watch shitty ass wrestling at all outside of the Lingerie Wrestling Championships. I do watch Mike Tyson knock outs and this is a boxing match, sorta. You can clearly see early signs of MMA because there were multiple takedown attempts by Inoki which looked like 90s era mma. He even tried to lock in an armbar while on the ground but he failed to lock it in every single time because of the 3 second time limit.Inoki does a damn good job of making this shit look real. He really does have the situational awareness of a fighter. It's something that you don't see at all from modern wrestlers, outside of someone like Brock Lesnar. Speaking of which, the referee is fucking tiny. What the fuck did Inoki eat to make him so damn huge?
>>14572704All of that actually sounds based. Way better than anything trannydoor can ever do.
>>14572704>>14573436

The Bushi fan was right about Rocky.
Damn nigger you must be bored to make a bunch of shitty posts like that
Literally all these posts in the last 1 hour are made by the same person btw. All of them.
>>14573643all me btwalso I am trans if that matters
How dare you say Tony's name in my general? You dare cheer for Rocky Romero?! Motherfucker I want your ass out of this general! Out!! I will report every single one of your posts!!MODS! MOOOOOOOODDDDDS!! HE IS TALKING ABOUT ROCKY ROMERO! INSTEAD OF ANTONIO INOKI IN 1989!!! OFF TOPIC AAAAAAAHHH
>>14573586
Outside of HAYATA vs BUSHI this card is based
>>14573685>BC vs HoT matchshould be based
>>14573685Is Blake Christian still a shitter? I haven't seen him wrestle in a long time. BOSJ does look pretty good this year.
>>14573685If Fujita scores less than 6 points I'll hunt Gedo down
>>14573685>Robbie EaglesWhen was the last time he wrestled for NJPW?
>>14573685I bet more than half the guys on this card are not under a NJPW contract
>>14574890That's not really a surprise right now.
>>14574686Super junior tag league maybe?
>>14573707>Is Blake Christian still a shitter?afraid so
>>14573685Dragon Dia is based
>>14575661Yep, April of last year. He is under contract too. Guy has been working everywhere but NJPW and they still give him a bag.
>>14574890>Blake>HAYATA>Macku>Titan>Robbie (maybe)>DOUKI (seemingly)
>>14576151Knight and Kushida are TNA guys too.
>>14576819Knight is an NJPW guy. He is a Shibata trainee from the LA dojo who had some experience in the indies before he got accepted. He was loaned to TNA for like 7 matches this year and that is the entirety of his work there.
>>14576819They're both signed, KUSHIDA has a double contract
>>14576852I'd be happy to have him back. I was under the impression he was gone, so if that is not the case cool.>>14576897nevermind then
now this is a REAL dream match
>>14573685Akira and Dia's photos are funny together
>>14577219For me, it's Despe and Titan.
The year started so well with Tsuji winning the New Japan Cup. Tsuji vs Goto is probably my favorite match of the year so far. Tsuji vs Naito was the perfect story too...Then everything went down the shitter when they made their USA shows the center of the NJPW universe.
>>14577242At least they still look like wrestlers on a card, Akira and Dia's shots together look like something from a wholesome movie poster
>>14577282
>>14577293or a gay movie poster
>>14577250>ice cold fed partnering with another ice cold = plummet Grim
>>14576852Looking at his credits this year he actually has done well for himself in NJPW while he looks like has been completely jobbing in TNA, funny since he and Kushida still feel like afterthoughts in NJPW right now
Gedo seemingly never wanted to trust the hebby-q to Naito even to this day so I doubt he would give the belt to Huge Tsuj before Jeong's son.
>they're having Gabe do media appearances for Resurgencelol I cant wait to see this shit
>>14577368>hey sponsors check THIS guy out!
>>14577298I'm not the Tsujifag, I usuaully make fun of that autist too. But whatever they were doing during New Japan and Sakura Genesis felt like the product was healing and trending upwards. Now it feels like we have entered a new dark age.
Gabe is kinda getting a big push right now. Had the match with Bangerino, closed out the All Together show with Kaito. I am assuming he beats Edkin's ass.
>>14577363Knight will not get anywhere teaming up with a washed up Kushida. He should at least go singles if he isn't going heel with the War Dogs.
>>14577390Everyone has been saying Gabe is beating him but Kingston has been protected pretty well in the Gabe matches and his stock rose a lot in AEW since the G1. He beat Mox, he was given Okada's first big match that made him champion even if he lost.
Kushida is holding the nigga back
>>14577430He actually had a bunch of TNA singles matches too but he lost all of them while all of his NJPW stuff has been tag stuff so far. I think a fair amount of people agree that he's being held back with Kushida though.
>>14577390>>14577443Gabe should win but I'm guessing he wins using some cheating tactic like a low blow or a chair shot or something so that Edkin is protected. If he just wins clean then we should assume he is 100% getting poached soon because Tony wouldn't let a New Japan toy go over an AEW toy otherwise. Remember, even Ospreay got his victory back against Omega using cheating last year at Trannydoor even though AEW was like 99% sure that Ospreay would become their toy next year anyways. That's how petty Tony is. He is a spoiled brat, don't underestimate his pettiness.
>>14577389>the product
>>14577464I just assumed that Knight wasn't fully committed to New Japan and was trying to get a TNA contract so that is why New Japan is refusing to do anything serious with him. Wasn't there another LA Dojo guy? The DKC? Is he just a jobber? I haven't seen him since last year's tag league. Although I think I saw him on the Resurgence card as well.
>>14577548At the very least the BOSJ finally gives Knight a way to showcase himself solo in Japan
So glad they uploaded th is match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9L1IabpKgg
>>14577984ELP has had a weird career trajectory
Aka corner....EL DESPERATE FAGGOTOOOOOOAoi corner...TRANNYHAAASHIIII HIROOOOSHIIIITTOOOOOO
>>14577282That period where Tony was playing with his CMLL toys made me think we'd be spared this year. Tony looming over the roster makes me feel the same way as when I stopped watching NXT in 2017/18 where anyone you actually liked would either be stuck in purgatory forever or eventually called up to the main roster and ruined by Vince.I genuinely don't know what they'll do for Forbidden Door other than Shota v Mox and maybe BCG v Chaos for the 6 man belts.
>Fantastica Mania Mexico>Mistico vs HiromuI have no idea why they don't bring this feud to Japan

shooter SPEAKShttps://twitter.com/njpwglobal/status/1788486564915380379
>>14580116>But NJPW isn’t AEW’s feeder. Foreign wrestlers respect Japan, respect NJPW and want to wrestle here. So where is NJPW’s pride? Why aren’t we proving that Japanese wrestling is best in the world? I’m honestly pissed at New Japan. I’m angry, frustrated, upset. That’s another reason why I need to take the title from MoxleyKek This angle is putting all the heat on the NJPW office not Mox or Tony Khan
>>14580199>But NJPW isn’t AEW’s feederBut it literally is. >Foreign wrestlers respect Japan, respect NJPWMaybe on planet retard. >I’m angry, frustrated, upsetGonna cry?
>>14580199The way he flip flopped about it is so fucking pathetic. This dude is not a leader
*beep beep*
>>14580211Oi, enjoy your match Shooter! Be a shame if something... EVIL happened during it.
>>14579714very weird to talk like that, typical autistic LOTR fan
Would Okada coming back to job to someone at the next WK even do much anymore? I feel like his stock has plummeted hard (though I admit this might just be my western perspective)
>>14580364It would depend on the build. Heatless matches don't get anyone over.
>>14580364For the domestic audience I think he would hold his image as long as he doesn't get embarrassed and paraded around before he would come back. WWE would've been the place that could potentially raise his stock but there's hardly reason to have faith with how Nakamura has been handled. And no, the Japanese girl posse that could be dumped any time to elevate the kweens is not an indication they'd give him the time of day.
the Reiwa Inoki
>>14580381Naito is a bigger draw
>>14580381That blue robe was so fucking dimes. I wish he wore it more during his reign

>>14580499finlay honestly looks better with this haircut than the one he has nowand most of EVIL's charisma is in his beard apparently
>>14580607Finlay looks like a shit eating 15 year old kid here

>>14579801Ibushi looks so rough these days. Dude looks like he went through menopause.>>14580381If only he could wrestle or have charisma half as dimes as he looked.
>>14559529No that would be the final nail in the coffin because it would bury all their talent
>>14578641>>14578869kek popped me ngl>>14580116kek he sounds like a typical aewtist already
If I see anyone posting anything related to Rocky Romero, Tony Khan and AEW in this general, I will report them to the mods!
red shoes spent years raising that boy just for ol' Deano to casually call him "Shooter" one time and derail his whole career
>>14582059Let's be honest dude has no self-confidence. He is just copying shit other people are saying and doing his whole career so far. Red Shoes didn't teach this boy to think critically.
Red Shoes Plainview yelling about his child in the Church of DEAN
I knew it. There is no way a son of a dimeless refree could ever be a star.
that boy ain't right
Shota needs to get Kaito'd for at least the next 3 years. We all agree?
>>14583330He's definitely gonna learn to unleash the dog in him, that's for sure
The story of you, is, truly a mythThe story of you is truly a mythhttps://youtu.be/rI0dajQgHqs
What Shota needs is a night out with Mina Shirakawa. That will boost his confidence.
>>14580199Nobody could possibly believe this shit when he's still dragging that stupid jacket around like a child
Shota should be jobbed out like Great-O-KWAB for his crime of being cringe.
>>14584343>Tsuji schizo accidentally posted a joshipedo webmUt ohhhhh... somebody exposed himself as a womeme wrestling enjoyerlollmao
>>14584343
>the worst poster in /njpw/ is also a joshipedoit tracks
>>14584360>>14584372>>14584395Kek. He literally posts in all Japanese wrestling threads all day long. This is his life.
watch him go back to talking to himself about antonio inoki in the next thread lmao
BOSJ bros I'm hyped
>>14584554For me it's when spent the whole day replying to his epic anti-Inoki/Muto/Chono pasta some threads ago.
>>14584577that was embarrassing
Didn't he once admit that he watches every wrestling show in Japan? He even posted a screenshot where he had five different browser windows running in parallel with different promotions on them.>BOSJ bros I'm hypedLol he is trying to no sell it again.
>>14584577>ChonoNever forget. The schizo who cries about Chono is this joshipedohttps://archive.palanq.win/pw/search/image/8ihH5qOIvOWqtqJfBDBlMw/
He samefags so much I'm starting to wonder if he is even making fun of himself in these posts above.
>>14584577>>14584602I'm not sure who's worse, the anti-Inoki joshipedo or the pro-Inoki TurkroachI guess at least the turk seems to have a genuine interest in wrestling
we have confirmed that tsujifag gabeschizo reddit tranny pajeet is also a joshipedo
he is trying to fool everyone into thinking that the joshipedo is some boogeyman anti-inoki posterbitch just start a new thread kek
>>14584673The anti-Inoki poster is not a joshipedo, he is a paranoid samefagging tranny who gets worked into a shoot whenever someone posts Inoki.
>>14584727this fag? >>14562043
>>14584735Afraid so.
>>14584727I don't know if you realize it or not, but the anti-Inoki schizo you're referring to is the anon you're replying to
>>14584727>he is a paranoid samefagging trannyThat's every AJPW smark thread on /pw/
I don't know about anything else but I know that Tsujifag is talking to himself about Inoki all day in these threads.
>>14584830and he is made himself an anti-Inoki poster to argue with. no one else has a folder of hundred photos of inoki saved on their phone.
>>14584830>>14584859I made the post about Bock earlier specifically to trigger him and I guess that makes me the anti-Inoki schizo, kek. One post shitting on Inoki like every 10 threads.Anyway somebody needs to make new.
>>14584830I'm one of the Inoki posters ITT, I was discussing him with other anons
>>14584874>>14584859I just ignore all the cringe Inoki talk because I can tell that Tsujifag is just spouting off nonsense he is reading from some wiki. So I never even noticed an "anti-Inoki" poster.
>>14584899Not everyone you hate is a samefag. And you clearly don't ignore the posts nor spend one day without talking to yourself about how much you hate Inoki.
he is just samefagging again and shamelessly pretending to be multiple people again after he accidentally outed himself as a joshipedo
>>14584914Timestamp tells a different story if you weren't such a seething faggot replying to his own posts in a frenzy
>>14584913Now I'm the anti-Inoki poster? Lol. Guess you got me. I also posted that joshipedo webm and deleted it btw. Clearly not you.
>>14584936Not me.
kek he is bringing up timestamps again
>>14584936You linked me to a post I have nothing to do with just because I talked about Inoki once. I think you need help.
>>14584960There's no cure for Inoki Derangement Syndrome
>>14584971I'm not even a big Inoki fanboy, I just asked a question that one time about him and he came at me sperging out. I wasn't even talking to him lol.
>>14585000He's shoot mentally ill. All these posts are him talking to himself>>14584830>>14584859>>14584874
he is still talking to himself
>>14585036Truly grim if true.
>>14584360What was the webm? I missed it and now all I see is Tsujifag doing damage control.
Keep up the fight in here >>14585107
