i feel like Puro has become less and less traditional but they should also embrace the Sports Entertainment format.Just cut out the ridiculous "Russo" angles that stray too far from the sporting aspect
the divas belt is a goddam joke
>>14415964dude maybe you should watch for 5 more years without talking so you don't say stupid shit like this.
>>14415964Puro has had lots of cheating and storylines before. The only thing that was always rare was in-ring promos and reality show tier TV segments.People who think "traditional puro" means King's Road are ignorant.
Hey nujamals, whats it like being the secondary fed to a secondary fed?
>>14415987The Diva Championship being the first belt to integrate this sort of modern look has had disastrous consequences for the wrestling fandom

>>14416144Finlay is a no dimes drawing shitter who'll probably cut his cock off next yearRen is supposed to be one of their future top guys. It's his first shot at the world title and the whito piggu champion isn't even here.
>>14416157It's not the 2000s anymore, lil broAt this point, puroresu is about as popular as MMAAnd before you bring that one event, that was a match decades in the making that will not be repeated anytime soon.

>>14416308training his skills for when he's gonna take care of trannyhashi, gaydo and the bushithole higher ups to save us all
>>14416144Definitely RenFinlay is getting the title back and he's been booked strongly since losing itRen is doing nothing
>>14415964You have no idea what these words mean.Japan is a country with their own culture. Japanese wrestling borrows from Japanese stories and culture and this is obvious if your brain works - so Meltzer also doesn't understand it.What HoT mean to a Japanese audience is massively different to what they mean to some fat Americans

We didn't deserve him (unironically)
>>14416646Okama was always an overpushed shitterCan only be carried by other people and if he has a belt cause he got no charisma or personalityFuck this tranny
>>14416673I agree on all points but it's weird that you're calling EVIL "Okama" for some reason
They should focus on making themselves as big as they can in JapanThat's the only way they'll make money cause burger fans will leave as soon as the flavor of the month is not there anymoreThat's how they managed to get the Hulkster and other big gaijins thereThey were big enough in Japan and actually drew dimes
>>14416646Okada is an ungrateful bitch. Fuck him.
>>14416646Okada didn't deserve NJPW
>>14416853>>14416928>pretending Okada always sucked because he leftThe very definition of "sour grapes".If Okada sucked, why even be mad at Tony Khan for taking him? Why not thank him?
>>14416961kek nujamals have no answer for this
>>14416492>Choir version of his themebased, I'm afraid
>>14416961Okada sucks because he was selfish and didn't put the next generation over on the way out not because his in ring work was poor. Not hard to understand.
>>14416961I'm not pretending Okada sucked, ya pinheadI'm saying he didn't deserve to be pushed now that we know he left before letting the youngsters take overTrannyhashi might be a tranny lover but he didn't just split before making Okada a starUnthankful traitor bitch
>>14416961Trannies are so fucking retarded fr fr
>>14416961Tranny with the best reading comprehension
>>14417059>>14417065>>14417080>>14417090All I hear is whiningOkada had an entire year where he did nothing but put over a new star as a main eventer (SANADA) and did fuck all but hold the Trios Tag belt.NJPW isn't AEW and guys don't book themselves.You should be whining at Gedo for not booking Okada to put over the "youngsters" on the way out. There was plenty of time to do so while Okada was cooling his heels but instead they had him wrestle dimeless 6 man tags.>wahhh he didn't put any new stars over on the way outYou faggots disrespect SANADA so hard and act like he wasn't elevated through Okada putting him over for the strap lol
>>14417100But you don't understand, bro, he should've stayed even though his contract was up and re-signed for way less money so he could put over my heckin' favorite Musketeer!!11!!!!!!1!!
>>14417100>Okada had an entire year where he did nothing but put over a new star as a main eventer (SANADA)lmfao the fuck u mean?>lost one match>this is the entire year somehowand he was stuck with the "trios" belt (tranny spotted btw) because he didnt want to work with anyone>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT PROVE THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIStsuji and gok shat on him for a reason>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS KAYFABEkayfabe for what nigga? what are they building? cope
>>14417100>Okada didn't politic because... Because he just le didn't ok?>Everyone went out losing except Okada because... Because Gedo is just le stupidTrannies in charge of not being retarded
>>14417118>literally arguing with himself in his own postI didn't say half of the shit you're """responding""" to. I don't even know what you're trying to say with the kayfabe comment. >>14417126Again, you're just making up headcanon. I don't know if Okada politick'd behind the scenes and neither do you, netiher does the Super Gay Cast or any other mark podcast you listen to (lol). The difference between us is that I'm willing to admit that I don't know and that we probably never will.If it was still '00, they would've just played out all of the behind-the-scenes shit on live television like they did when Choshu left and formed World Japan but those days are long gone, and guys don't take behind-the-scenes shots at each other on public TV anymore.
>>14417182The only possible way you can cope that Okada didn't pull shit is if you believe this happened:>First we have Okada job to Sanada. Then we have Okada be in the 6man openweight after saying he would never compete for any title other than the hebbyQ for the rest of the year. Then everyone jobs to Okada right before he leaves. Then he doesn't even lose the belt and it's just vacated. Then GOK and Tsuji beg for matches against him and he in storyline refuses and makes them look like bitches. Then as part of this storyline with a wrestler that is no longer in the company I spend months bitching on twitterBelieve all of this if you want to desperately pretend your castrated faggot is a good guyAs for everyone else, we know what happenedFuck Okada
>tfw you his dog for real
>>14417240>You see, if you disagree with me, you have to believe this BULLSHIT NARRATIVE I just pulled out of my assholeNo, I don't, though.What I believe is that Okada made a sporadic last minute decision to leave that took everyone by surprise, including the office. But the idea that he didn't put anyone over on the way out is pure fallacy and revisionist history so you can force your own narrative.You can rant and rave all you like about everything Okada didn't do on the way out but he did indeed put over multiple new main eventers from 2020 on, or at least TRIED to put them over, and at the very least made way for them to share the top spot with him. He also put over Ibushi when the company was going balls to the walls pushing him. He put over EVIL to win the G1, etc.The last couple of years of Okada's NJPW run are pretty much exclusively him trying to create new main eventers for NJPW and then later making room for them by staying out of the title scene.
Mox killing the brand already

>>14417355Okada literally said this in his VTR for Wrestle Kingdom in January
>>14417355So because Okada hired an agent and started looking around like 2 months ahead of time, that means his decision wasn't last minute somehow?I can tell I'm arguing with an autistic pedant but c'mon, man.

>>14415919We need Inoki now more than ever.
>>14418517Seeing how Tana is struggling and trying to find a way to cope with the times and survive finally made me understand why Inoki did it in the 2000s.
>>14418517>Inoki holding a PRIDE microphoneYes, this was during the "I'M THE FOUNDER OF MMA EVERYBODY" while his company is literally on fire back home period
>>14418536He was making some good dosh on that IGF shit tho
>>14418517Funny, because I've been thinking the same lately. I wish Tanahashi would gamble a bit like Inoki. I'm glad he gave the IWGP to Mox, though. It was a breath of fresh air.
>>14418517Based and Inoki pilled
>>14418560Not even Inoki would put the strap on Moxshitty
>we need Inoki backReminder that he legitimately never booked a good period in his entire career. Also he was a massive carnie only interested in money and his own fame, so I feel like he would sell out to a billionaire like Tony Khan in no timeIf Inoki ever had pride in NJPW as a company, he would've never bent it over ass-first for PRIDE.
>>14418570Rare blue Inoki
book it Gedo
>>14418618For me? It's Green Inoki.
>>14418517Based Inoki should descend and teach those shitter how to do it.
>>14418628Which Inoki would go over?
>>14418628wtf is this real?
>>14418640Young Inoki eats the pin, aniki.
>>14418570>>14418633Purple Inoki will always be the Michaels.
>>14418655I'd sacrifice every obese smark in the world just to have these GOATs back
>>14418655When did Inoki and Choshu reconcile anyway?I know they fucking hated each other for a while
>>14418667In 1987 when Choshu went back to Inoki and NJPW.
>>14418628Apparently, the Inoki vs Inoki match went on for days, so the Japanese Prime Minister of that time was forced to dispatch the JSDF to stop it.
>>14418690I'm talking about when he left to form World Japan in the early 00s, Choshu and Inoki definitely hated each other during this period
>>14418615>Reminder that he legitimately never booked a good period in his entire careerEh? NJPW was well booked until 2000
>>14418710In the late 2000s. Many things happened, like Hashimoto's passing and Inoki exiting NJPW. At that period of time, Inoki himself was reconciling with people who had beef with him. Even his most mortal enemy, Maeda Akira, let bygones be bygones. When Inoki passed away, I read an article about how during his final years, he was calling up the few people who might have had beef with him and was reconciling with them.

>romanticizing Inoki in NJPWKek, that's how you know most of these posters are just AEW trannies pretending and shitposting as NJPW fans. Even our 5ch BROTHERS would kick you trannies out of the room if you spewed such fucking nonsense.
>>14418527Inoki understood that wrestling would be seen as gay as soon as Pride & UFC got established, but he failed at trying to turn NJPW into a MMA adjacent promotion. You could understand his gamble through how high the pay off would be if it had succeeded. Tanahashi literally just bends his ass to the West without thinking about how to turn it over, about how to be innovative and hopefully succeed.
Hello lads. I've decided to try and get into NJPW. I know that all their stars have gone so I'm sort of a Johnny come lately. But still I wanted to give it a shot since I love WWE and I can't get into any other American wrestling companies. One thing I'll say that annoys me is having the shows broken up by matches. On the one hand I appreciate being able to skip to the particular match you want to see, but the gap between them annoys me. I wish it was all one video but you still had a scene select option. But what really annoys me about it is that I don't see any way of being able to tell how long the show is before I sit down to watch it. It helps me to plan how I'm going to spend my evening if I can see the runtime in advance. Is there any way to do that?
>>14418895Inoki had balls of steel, Trannyhashi chopped his own balls off and handed them to his Khan overlord.
>>14418783Choshu booked the 90s
>>14418921Wait really? Source?
>>14418895Well, compared to that period when Inoki was still the booker, there were more options to get creative and gamble, meanwhile in this period, Tana doesn't have ay other option besides being a follower to AEW.
>>14418926It's pretty much universally known at this point but I'm sure there are some sources you could dig up somewhere.But before Choshu got the book in the late 80s, it was still very much an "old man" show with the focus still centered around Fujinami and Inoki, Sakaguchi, etc. He booked the Three Musketeers as being the young guys rebelling against the elder statesmen (he himself would play the elder statesmen against Hashimoto, putting him over at the Tokyo Dome in webm related).But it was exactly how Choshu himself got over in the 80s. He believed in pushing young talent and he's the reason why Mutoh, Hashimoto, and Chono are what they became.
>>14418517God, I wish Inoki would lead NJPW today. NJPW now is beyond rotting. No identity, no prestige, no future (or a shaky one since the Reiwa Musketeers aren't completely shit just yet).
>>14418947This just tells me Gedo should take a backseat for someone to take over for a new era for a new generation to work.
Inoki was always embarrassed of NJPW, that’s why he started so many (failed) business, went into politics etc. Once he was booted out for corruption, he had to come crawling back to New Japan, so he took out his frustration by trying to turn it into pride. I like Inoki but it’s clear he lost his passion for wrestling in the 70s
Thought Moxley was touring in the Japan Islands? No? Who will unclog the toilet?!?!?!
kek look at them drowning in the good old timesi LOVE laughing at new japan
Jeong Mosque Lee vs Jang MokushuriWho wins?
I miss the 17th and 18th century when Japan was isolated from the filthy foreigners and puroresu was at its finest
>drew the lowest quarter this weekKek good job shitdo and trannyhashi
its okay bros once Tana books New Japan to go over all the indies at All Together we'll be back on top
>>14418947>>14419192Also important to note that Choshu built Hashimoto mainly with his booking, and once Hashimoto was a made superstar, it elevated Muto and Chono through matches with him and brought them up to high level, or near it anyway

>>14419870the collaborations with New Japan has caused me not to care anymore. Jake comes from All Japan so if he leaves its whatever, better him than an original Noah guy.

>>14419870As a NJPW viewer I am disappointedAs a NOAH viewer I laugh at NJPW
Are we pretending the Jake Lee isn't just promoting All Together for some reason?There is no sign of him remaining after the show whatsoever. He was advertising his NOAH faction's merch in the appearance.
I'm more hurt by Shingo Takagi dick sucking AEW all the time than I'm hurt by Tanahashi's betrayal. I used to hold Shingo in high regard, same as Hiroki Goto. I should have known that someone who betrayed Dragon Gate would have no loyalty to New Japan either.
>>14420444Shingo was kind of made the point man among the wrestlers for AEW stuff along with El Desperado. They did Japanese commentary on a lot of Dynamite episodes on World from the start. I don't know if that has anything to do with his tweets and whatnot -- it could genuinely be part of his job.But on the other hand, why the fuck would you expect a career Dragon Gate guy who NJPW never gave a chance until he was like 38 to be loyal to NJPW?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja85KTbdLlcMOU IKKAIMOU IKKAIALLLL TOGETHERRRRR
It’s all a work. All of itThis sense of frustration at being AEW’s bitchThe title on Dynamite You’re supposed to feel that way, because it’s a workThe payoff is at Forbidden Door when Tsuji will win the belt back
>>14420462I don't expect him to be dick sucking AEW on twitter all the time and I highly doubt that's a part of his job.
>>14420580Cope much?
>>14420580>we'll take the belt off Naito in America, have it defended as a midcard belt on AEW weekly shows, then have the belt won back on another show in America>THAT'LL PUT BUTTS IN SEATS
Deathrider is such a badass gimmick, holy shit
being a good wrestler and over with fans is not good enough for New Japan if you come from a rival fed. Shingo gotta go to work on that AEW shaft if he wants another main event title run.
Jong Mok is so kakkoii!
I showed Moxilli to my Japanese friend and she said "sugoi"
>>14420580Gigacope
Gentlemen be honest, is it over?
>>14420655G1 will be enjoyable as always, but it's basically over until then
So I went to the office today and tried to start a conversation with my Japanese co-workers. As soon as I mentioned New Japan Pro Wrestling, they started chanting Moxley's name.
>>14420669>nug1 participation trophy>fun
I want to know how insider-kun feels about all this
if anything, NJPW should embrace the "CMLL format"
If anything, NJPW should embrace the "AEW Ass Penetration"

>>14420693Insider here, I’m more annoyed that the one place I could shitpost about my job in peace is having a weeks-long schizo melt down.
>>14420580This. It's already working too because the image of Tsuji as this epic based loyalist who hates AEW is forming.
>>14420799>Couldn't beat Naito>Moxley beats Naito>Beats MoxleyHow's planet retard at this time of the morning?
>>14420823Congratulations, you figured out how putting someone over works.
i want to see miki do the bunny girl dance in the ring!
>>14420382It becomes unbelievably terrible during these hours, yeslook at the last 20 or so postsunbelievably trashthen you scroll up to NA hours and a few people are at least having a discussion
Man, Drilla was shitposting hard last show. Anyone got a shot of the Naito eye pull he did at the end?
>>14420836Naito has been built as Tsuji's wall to climb, it would be deflating if he went over the guy who beat Naito in 20 minutes so quickly after Sakura Genesis. Sure they could push Tsuji that hard that quick but then you have Naito chasing in the G1 instead of all the young guys together.
>>14420655yes, dean ambrose killed the companyonly one week left to sell out wrestling dontaku and both shows are still doing really bad
>>14421125Why do trannies keep saying it's not his fault when all this trouble started once Moxley won the belt?
>>14421138Because they stopped watching a while ago and just parrot opinions they see from pro-AEW guys. It's gonna be funny to see the Ren/Mox match completely mog the Hobbs/Mox match

>>14421751My impression of this guy at the last show was he's got good height and that big boot looks good but he's so fuckin skinny looking. Also his faction is called Good Looking Guys and he doesn't really look notably handsome, to me anyway.Whatever the fuck he's doing in that webm looks awkward too.

if rocky says it's false then it's true
>>14423048sup rocky?
>>14423333fuck rocky and fuck ali
>NJPW and STARDOM owner Takaaki Kidani expresses regret that Japanese promotions have become like American farms:>"From a business standpoint, as some fans have lamented, I think it is a little sad that Japanese promotions and Japanese mats have become like American farms, like baseball and soccer. I think that is a little regrettable. This is our responsibility, though."https://twitter.com/meraWRESTLING/status/1783881171031712051
>>14422329Is this the same retard who said Moxley was working a tour they're not even doing this year?
>>14423489they need to double down with AEW
>>14422329wait, this nigga is doing an undefeated streak gimmick?
Dale Azucár
>>14423489Do something about it, faggot
>>14423489With WWE being so good now, it makes me want to explore new wrestling. I want to get into New Japan, but then I see that so many of their biggest stars are in AEW now, and I hate AEW and I can't get into it no matter how many chances I give it.
>>14423489They can "lament" all they want. New Japan is OUR bitch, AEW's bitch and there is NOTHING Kidani can do about it. Nothing. Nil. Nada. Just bend over and endure it. Be a good little farm piggy. I promise it will not be over soon.
>>14423489>little sad>little regrettablekek, he has definitely sold out to tony
Akari Iiyama will save NJPW by kicking all the gaijin shitters out of Japan since Tanahashi doesn't have the balls to do it himselfhttps://twitter.com/politicalawake/status/1783884443783938296
>>14424674>from the Conservative Party of Japan.That's literally speaking a pissant political party in Japan. If the LDP want to flood Japan with immigrants, they will do it.
kidani says it is his responsibilitynow can you faggots leave tanahashi alone?
shota mogged
>>14424674oh so the people who hate foreigners in nooj are just fags larping as japanase nationalists, i get it now
>>14424739yeah uh one of these things is not like the others. our 5ch aniki are gonna have fun with this, I know it.
>>14424775>our 5ch anikiCringe
>>14424775You're one of the worst posters here
>>14424786suck my dick bitch!
I reject Edkin in New Japan not because he's a fat overpushed slob who can't throw chops but for political reasons
What did they discuss?
>>14422329This little faggot thinks he deserves to be undefeated? I wanted to shit on njpw too because that's all bugs deserve. Then this little haji thinks he deserves anything.
>>14424815One more run 兄弟
I hope the next Forbidden Door show is the last one.
>>14423489Haha you signed the contract. Reap what you sow bugs. Tonikan is your savior, your god. You only exist, because Tonikan allows it.
>>14423489God, I feel so satisfied and fulfilled for some reason after reading this. I don't know why this is making me so happy. For years I have prayed for the downfall of New Japan Pro Wrestling. I can't believe I'm seeing it happen right now. Please, let me see Kidani and Tanahashi be absolutely humiliated. Let me see them cry!
>>14424815hopefully Mutoh told Tana the secret to going another 20 years with dust for knees
>>14424815The Noto earthquake
Uh Oh
>>14425736Lmao we gonna get Edkin vs Moxley at WK at this rate
Everyday I wake up and thank the god that I'm NOT Japanese!
>>14425736>/njpw/: They MUST be leaving because of Tony Khan. There's no other possible reason.
Tony is sinking his own ship and is bringing NJPW with him How do we stop this?
>>14426185we don't. New Japan must implode in order for Japanese wrestling to improve
Tony Khan>Jack had been out of AEW for a while. I sent him on excursion to our partner in Japan.
>excursion
>>14423489>This is our responsibility, thoughGod damn right it is.
>>14427063Kidani should shave his head
>>14422329I really don't get why people are reacting so hard to this, this just seems like it's entirely in kayfabe
>>14428131Bodyslam doesn't do kayfabe, brother
>>14429337Yeah whatever I'm sure Ali put out a statement saying OH ME OH MY I CAN'T POSSIBLY LOSE A SINGLE MATCH IF I WAS IN THE BOSJ OH NO SIREE that isn't linked to his delusional politician heel character on an undefeated streak and is 100% straight shootin'
One of these things is not like the other
Given the current state of affairs and the fact that the JR. title is headlining how close do you think Nooj is getting to last years number of 2,120 at Satsuma no Kuni.
they should have booked HAYATA vs Honma in a speaking battle
>>14430593Jakely is probably a better fit with half the cornballs in LIJ, ironically
>>14415924agreed
>>14430593>>14431474I don't watch Noah, but Jake looks like he's House of Torture
Anyone staying up watching Road to live?
>>14433603It'll be in the background after the Stardom show for me
Redpill me on Sanadas paradise lock. Its a comedy move buts its sold serious? Is that the whole bit?
>>14430593Gabe seething at Finlay for bringing a NOAH shitter into their business
>>14433717What comedy moves aren't sold seriously?
>>14433810I guess I misspoke, sold was not the right phrasing. I mean its a comedy move that smarks seem to accept but if anyone else did it they would piss their pants about it.
SANADA is off the show tonight. Since TAKA's not around and the other 2 members are booked, that means his partner Taichi is also off the show. It's Tana & Murashima vs Kato & Honma now.
>>14434111>click the link to the tweet about his abscence>it's just the show cardHuh
Be glad you are in a partnership with the good guys instead of the Weinsteins of pro wrestling, Nujamals.
No English tonight eh?
>>14430593Yeah Bushi is the only one wearing the mask
For me is Ray Paloma
>>14434715It's pretty stacked for a road to show, surprised
That was certainly a showcase of local talent
>>14434768more like local taint
>Chase Owens needs to cheat to beat Tiger Mask in 2024Kek
>>14415924based Tsuji>>14415964you're a fucking idiot>>14415987belt looks cool youre just a fag>>14416773they should but tanahashi is a mindbroken fuckhole for gaijin use and abuse>>14416961he was okay but overrated>>14419755hes not nearly as good as Tsuji but he's pretty good>>14420669Takagi vs Kidd will be good, BOSJ will be good, whatever Tsuji does will be good, most of the midcard matches will be better than anything in arena empty wrestling
>multiple time champions Desperado and Ishii wait five minutes for their tag partner, who hasn't won a belt, to finish his entrance
>Ishii wrestling EVIL >crowd going crazy>huge Ishii chant breaks out>Ishii tags Umino>crowd goes mildOH NONONONO
This is the match
we are shoma kato gang here, right bros? murashima is the clear janetty
>>14435432Murashima is filling out better, he's got a nice build going at least
Postan
Why did OKhan make himself look even more like a bald bitch?
Omedetou!! Congratulation!
KWABBKek what a beautiful belt-holder
BALD BITCH NO MORE, BROS
just another day in the life for okhanbros
Is this the first singles champ of new batch of homegrown wrestlers?
A defence against Yoshi seems fitting
This monocle + top hat gimmick is over with me
Jake has negative aura
THESE ARE MY DOGS 4 REALTHESE ARE MY DOGS 4 REALTHESE ARE MY DOGS 4 REALTHESE ARE MY DOGS 4 REAL

>>14436254wardogbros...I've lost hope
>>14436254it's never been more over than it is now, wardoggos
This barking bit is over with me
This is a comfy Af main event
[Mysterious News] Newly homeless wrestler Katsuhiko Nakajima (36) has shared a series of images of him looking at Tiger Mask (43) memorabilia with the caption "to learn history" (translation via Google translate (18))https://twitter.com/Katsuhiko_N311/status/1784162359558496279?t=L8K8Xz-T8AXUTaS4GV6flg&s=19
I think Hiromu has stolen the bark bit
>>14436314>One Cup OzekiIt's over.It's fucking over
FREE BUSHI MASK
It's crazy listening to the crowd now after everything earlier, night and day
Gabe wrestling in a long sleeve and cargo pants just proves to me he's everything Moxley pretends to be and better
BUSHIBROS WE GOT 2 OF EM
>>14436254>>14436272WARDOGBROS WE WERE ROBBED
>Jake lost anyway
LOS
>War Dogs bring in another company top guy>still can't win>BUSHIMANIA runs wildSLYLY GAVE THEM MORAL SUPPORT, GEDO YOU COWARD
Better than Evil and Sanada
Okay this is getting ridiculous. The standards of joining LIJ is getting low. Slyly? Really?
>>14436568Did you see him jump over the top rope?
>>14436600Bushi can do that and more
>>14436504NJPW Stacies look like THIS?!
NJPW is so back
>>14436504ZAMN
>>14437228Where were you when Naito DESTINO'D Slyly in front of 32 thousand screaming Naitomaniacs?
humbly requesting this as the next op pic
>>14437354Reminds me of Harlem Heat
>>14436314Is he hinting about joining NJPW or begging them? That's the question
I watched the Road To show tonight and it fucking sucked. I can't believe I fell for this Nujamal shit. I'm never watching a Road To show ever again, DON'T EVEN TRY TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS GOOD.
This is Bushi’s year, bros. It took Wato and Yoh getting sacrificed but here we are.
>>14436503NJPW may bend over and take it from AEW but they will never be NOAH’s bitch.
>>14437850The last match was kino and made up for everything else
>>14438078Oh yeah, the STRONG tag match was solid too
>>14437850i havent watched it yet, but road to shows are basically house shows. just half watch it while doing some chores or something. if you hear milano go ape shit rewind and start paying attention
>>14438596>if you hear milano go ape shitthis is doubly true if youre listening to english commentary and still hear him going nuts.
