The IWGP Heavyweight title is meaningless
has been since evil won it
not a single person on earth who knows what the IWGP championship is thought hobbs would beat mox for it >>14415577this
It has been for me since they fagged the title up. They need to go back to the older design.
>>14415566The IWGP Heavyweight title is one of the greatest titles in pro wrestling historyThe IWGP World Heavyweight title is meaningless
>>14415648This. Throwing away the 50 yr legacy/history of the IWGP Hwt Belt and the most based Title belt design maybe ever in wrestling >>14415623 was the worst mistake NJPW ever made. You don't throw away all that history and prestige of that lineage that had been established over decades. It was a wildly retarded move that I still don't get to this day. And an example of the over reach of Bushiroad suits into teh wrestling side of the business that Rossy was complaining about on the Stardom side. The idea to nuke the old IWGP Hwt lineage and make a newer shittier belt design all came from Bushiroad execs. Nobody in the NJPW office or locker room supported it.
>>14415566If it's any consolation (it's not), it's still booked more importantly than the AEW belt on an AEW show
>>14415566Scott Norton had it bro
>>14415577lost it*
>>14415566Takeshita will save it
>>14416130he will literally take a shit on the belt
>>14416104fuck you Scott Norton was based.
>>14415577I wish SANADA won it before evil because now it doesn't feel like it means much that he won the big one
>>14416017I bet this is some dystopian erasure of "problematic" personalities from the past. WWE did this quite obviously by deleting the original World Heavyweight Championship,WWE Championship and Universal Title.
Working with AEW is the worst thing any company can do. Honestly if AEW wants to damage WWE they need to extend that olive branch and start working together.
>reactionary wrestler fueled by puro nostalgia>woes his cry of japan finally bowing down to the white masters in contrast to the hard nosed culturally strong japanese>japanese nationalist gimmick>yukio mishima gimmick>inoki's messiah gimmick>wins iwgp world heby-kyu champion>destroys the world championship finlay style>reintroduces the OG belt and lineageyeah i'm thinking dimes
>>14415566It was since the moment they dropped the legacy that was built by Hogan, Inoki, Choshu, Fujinami, Hashimoto, Muta, Chono, etc. and adapted a diva's belt
>>14416104Bob Sapp was worse
>>14417610Bob Sapp was a draw.
>>14417628On planet retard
>>14415577Tranny
>>14416104>>14417610>>14417637
>>14415648The NWA has been a larp since WCW died (they're not really the same lineage but whatever). IMPACT is a meme, AEW is too young, indy feds, All Japan hasn't mattered since the 90sIg the WWE title is the most prestigious world title now
>>14415577Actually it has been since OmeGAY won it.
>>14415566nah u are
