New Japan Pro-Wrestling does not feature a weekly TV show like WWE, AEW, and TNA, instead relying on the streaming service of NJPW World for their shows.! NJPW's major shows all feature a clear schedule, and feature in the same buildings—Wrestle Kingdom occurs on January 4th at the Tokyo Dome, Sakura Genesis generally occurs in early April at the Ryōgoku Kokugikan, Wrestling Dontaku is mainly around May 1st - 4th at the Fukuoka Kokusai Center, etc.! NJPW Strong is the brand name for New Japan's American events. They carry their own belts, but the main NJPW belts can be defended in these shows as well.>NJPW World LinksIn-Browser: https://watch.njpwworld.com/App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/njpw-world/id6451441843Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tvasahi.njpwworldFire TV: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CCS28SGSRoku TV: https://channelstore.roku.com/details/2683188c1fe3c439b3e1109a0981febd/njpw-world

This crowd is kinda weak but there's like 800 of them lol
The first 3 minutes of Oleg/Yano is extremely based
[Sad news] This year's G1 Climax will not have Toru Yano in it.
[Better news] Taichi will get his win back from TJP in Korakuen

fuck rocky
>>15019506the gaijin meathead is based tho
>>15019520drippy ahh nigga
>>15019506>Tony Khan hates Yano>He is immediately eliminated in the qualifiers Very interesting indeed
As much fun as Yano is, this isn't the year to have comic relief in the G1
Newman I think will be a lock and be the designated pin eater for his block. I got Taichi in the other qualifier. I don't see Oleg beating, Yano, Tana, and Tachi. At most they will give him a win over President Ace. If he does go through I hope they graduate him from this weird pseudo young lion thing they are doing now.
>>15020232Not fair for Oleg to sit the G1 out while Newman goes through desu.
is this the first time oleg has won against a non young lion heavyweight?
shota umino fucking sucks
Masahiro Chono: "WWE and AEW from the U.S. are like big black ships. At this rate, they might take over." He added, "If I were with New Japan, I would first focus on Asia, then become equal with America."Do you guys think that NJPW has any actual interest in expanding in Asia, or primarily focus in America because of AEW strongarming?
[Breaking News] Shota Umino will be signing with AEW once his contract expires.
>>15020574in a singles match, yes
>>15021658Chono is right. There's lots of weebs in Asia, it's easier to take over Asian countries than the west.
This company is yet to recover from Naito losing at WK12
>>15022435great commentdo you have any opinions that arent gay podcaster vomit?
>>15022453I don't listen to podcasts, do tell me which of those has come around to the truth because last I remember seeing people talk about them they were jerking off Okada's reign continuing way past when it was interesting, and having him lose to Omega of all people, as a good thing
>>15021658the big money is in america desu and bushiroad uncles are whores for big money
>>15017709the company is so cold and the thread is so dead OP has to use old images
>>15021658They said they would focus more on Asia in October, then 3 months later they're whoring themselves out for America and only did 1 show closer to home (Taiwan). I doubt they ever cared much about going to that area
>>15022468We Work Stiff were doing listener questions recently and one of them was essentially "what match in the last 10 years would you change the outcome of". They didn't mention WK12, but one of them instantly answered that Okada should have beaten Omega at Dominion 6.9
>>15022856>They didn't mention WK12, but one of them instantly answered that Okada should have beaten Omega at Dominion 6.9Well, I'd disagree, but that's because I just don't think that match should have happened in the first placeI don't even think Omega beating Okada is a bad outcome in general, for my money Omega is a perfectly fine gaijin champ, I just don't think he deserved to be the one to break Okada's masturbatory V12 reign (especially not given the context of knowing he was likely to leave due to All In/AEW starting up rumors)
>>15022852I partly feel like any plans to go to Asia were derailed by Tanahashi becoming president—the fact that his ten steps mentioned making the STRONG championships America exclusive (implying that he likely stopped plans to merge them with other belts and scrap NJPW STRONG), and forging stronger ties with STARDOM and AEW, and nowhere did he mention Asian expansion, leads me to believe that he played a hand in focusing NJPW back to the US, even if it’s effectively pointless.
>>15023057Omega beating Okada was far more satisfying than, say, Takeshi Rikio beating Kobashi.But people still say Kobashi's reign is the GOAT.
Will they ever bring back the original IWGP lineage?
>>15023061>implying that he likely stopped plans to merge them with other beltsLol they were never gonna unify them. Rocky wants his belts to bolster his shitty cards so they'll just have people be double champions if they want to
>>15023921It doesn’t explain why NJPW stopped their expansion to (Southeast) Asia, unless they don’t give a shit about the area and/or are marks for the US
>>15021658>>15021658firing harold was a good idea

Will you fags still be crying about muh tranny door cause of Takeshita in the G1?
Shota Umino does not, in fact, have a slipped disc. The real story is much juicier and the office don't even know about this one. Instead, he was beaten up by Gabe Kidd for attempting to sleep with his girlfriend. Apparently hasn't told the office the truth due to the embarrassing nature.

>>15026299How was El Hijo del Zack Saber Jr
>>15021658 Trying to get a wrestling culture over in SK or Taiwan sounds like an impossible task. There is a surprising number of people from Southeast Asia in English-speaking discussion of Japanese wrestling, it's kind of a meme in the joshi threads, but I don't think countries like that would be worthwhile markets at all due to being poor. I'd like to hear the opinion of someone who knows mode about that stuff though.American expansion isn't even worth entertaining anymore. Like, what audience are you going to focus on winning over? The smarks who gave up on AEW because they wanted more tournaments and less Jericho comedy? What other fans are left that aren't just satisfied with WWE?
>>15026509Good tour, match with Virus later today
>>15026658They've been to Taiwan multiple times and it's done pretty well. They're probably not filling 10k arenas there though
Also it's a dumb idea to pursue the asia market since they mostly pirate content and dont have money to buy ppv / subscription
>>15026943As long as houses are good then it's worth it
>>15021658They should just focus on Japan. They aren't big enough to expand beyond that and they never will be.
>>15025985i hope ishii loses
>>15027237Holding one or two shows every year in some countries like the US, Australia, UK and Taiwan isn’t a bad idea.
>>15027238Only if Tacos gets in
>>15027742HOLY GOAT
>>15027237I don't want to go there again, but CMLL basically survived 90 years doing shows in one city.
I CANNOT WAIT FOR TRANNY DOOR TO CLOSE
>>15017709Is Sanada a cunty gay man like Morrissey?
>>150288696 days left, bro
returning puroresu fan hereis rikidozan still wrestling these days?
>>15028880Morrissey isn’t gay.
>>15029047He finally put over Inoki 2 years ago and retired. Too bad his other student Baba died before getting the rub.
>>15027742Fatta Tonga
A grand total 3 new japan guys are booked for forbidden door as of now. Are they even gonna get cut a check from the money mark? If you want to be generous you can throw in Mina to make it 4. Steph is CMLL.
>>15029848New Japan has 3 AEW fanboys, yet two of them haven’t even been booked for the show yet
>>15029848Who should they book that an american audience would recognize? Please tell us...
Speaking of CMLLZack, Hiromu, and Ishimori are still there for this week's friday show
>>15030314>Flip Gordonlol
>>15030326I know it's gonna be hard to believe but he's been pretty good in CMLL
>>15029848Here's the list of guys that Tony wants to poach from the current roster of New Japan:Shota UminoGabe KiddShingo TakagiZack Sabre JuniorOther guys like Yota Tsuji, Hiromu Takahashi, El Desperado, Jeff Cobb and ELP are also on the list but they're not a priority.With hardly anyone poach-worthy left in the New Japan roster, it is obvious Tony's interest in New Japan is fading. So only 3 matches make perfect sense since Shingo and ZSJ are at the top of his poaching list.The real question here is, what kind of fuckery will he book to give the title back to Naito? Let's cut the bullshit and stop pretending that Tony will agree to Moxley taking a clean loss to Naito on an AEW show. Will Naito low blow Moxley and win by cheating? I'm expecting something of the sort. Hell, he probably doesn't even want to give the title back to Naito. Just the thought of one of his best toys losing to a New Japan toy must be making him throw a tantrum like a spoiled rich kid.
>>15030415What a delusional schizo rantAnd yes Mosque Lee will lose cleanYou're talking about a guy who gives jobbers 20 minutes. Moxley isn't the biggest ego guy in the world. He seems willing to put over more or less anyone, like Danielson but he knows he has to keep mostly winning to stay strong.
>>15030054Are you dumb? You realize the whole point of this show is a crossover right. Either way Hiromu, Ishii, Umino, Tana.
>>15030694So no one actually good? Got it.
>>15030737embarrassing opinion
>>15030744it's not 2018 anymore, hiromu ishii and tana are washed and umino is green af
>>15030761I'm not that other anon. I'm not just going to respond to all of your bait posts. Have this one last pity (You) and then get out of my thread

Oh boy, it's like all the schizos just showed up at once
>>15030439Retard
Jesus christ, Tsujischizo is still shitting all over the thread. No decent discussion will ever take place in these generals.
>>15029848It's a non-canon show so who cares
>>15031126Is Tsujischizo in the thread with us right now?
>>15031126cut him some slackhe is very excited about forbidden doorevery opinion expect his own is bad to him
>>15031148> expect his own is bad to himYou exposed yourself as a samefagging schizo again, saars of good mornings.
>>15031126>>15031148Can't wait for Forbidden Door to end and for him to just keep talking about AEW all the time in every thread
>>15030793Afraid so
>>15029051>>15030793>>15031241Always thought Morrissey's lyrics were just a little bit gay though>This charming man...>Oh, I want him in my ass>I mean his penis, I want it in my ass because I'm GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYI feel like he was trying to tell us something
>>15030415Kek, this. Tiny definitely wants to sign Shingo. >what kind of fuckery will he book to give the title back to Naito?Who is he feuding with on AEW? I don't watch the show so I don't know. Usually what happens is that they just advance AEW storylines at the expense of New Japan guys.>>15031126>>15031148He does it on purpose to provoke a reaction out of you guys. He was sperging out whenever people suggested that Okada will lose to Bryan during last year's threads, calling them all delusional retards. Just ignore him, most of his posts are him talking to himself anyways.
>>15031291It was a metaphor
so he will get a big win over tana but lose in the finals to taichi?>>15030415worked injury anglenaito will manage to beat mox because mox gets injured during the match
>>15030415If any of the young guys like Shota or Tsuji leave New Japan then it is truly over. >>15031711If Boltin goes over Tanahashi then he should just go over Taichi as well. Still think it is gonna be Tanahashi who qualifies though. Funniest scenario would be if TJP somehow beats Taichi.
These G1 changes seem really cool. The qualifiers add stakes before the tournament even begins and make it feel even more prestigious and elite. I even like the 3rd place advancement, it adds incentive to FUCKING WIN the block and not just make it to second.
>>15025985I get just pushing some LIJ vs HoT to help draw people for these events but why are they going so hard with back to back LIJ vs HoT multi-mans now? Throw some young lions and UE in there. It looked like renewed Tana vision Hontai vs HoT was cooking at the first Soul show too.
>>15017709>Morrissey Japan TourBet the tour was canceled. He's constantly canceling tour dates and no showing.
>>15031711B block needs Tana for star power but I wouldn't be surprised
>>15031711i want to boltin to advancecallum newman sucks though
>>15031711Inoki would push that gaijin to the moon, he's based.
>>15030415Shingo may bounce since he's tight with a lot of the big AEW names. Gabe I think is a coin flip. Not as convinced with ZSJ and Shota.
fuck you guysi liked hikuleo in njpw
>>15033450I liked Talla Tonga's tag team with ELP. But they never really did that much with them. I need people like Sanada in the tag division when it isn't their turn for the world title.
>>15030415>>15033414I don't see Gabe leaving. I imagine he's been given the hard sell about how he'd fade into the background in AEW, and I imagine some of his comments about AEW/Tony/AEW Fans reflect his feelings, if slightly exaggerated.
>>15034498Most likely, Gabe (and every other young guy in NJPW with a brain) genuinely would love to get poached by AEW and spend 3-4 years thereEnough to make money on a level they'd probably take a decade to earn otherwise, then they can get back to the "real wrestling" in Japan afterwardsThat's what I'd do if I was in the biz and in NJPW and young
>>15034291I wonder if they knew it was a matter of time when they slotted him in tags, Tama might have been a sign or something more and obviously that had been cooking since last year
>>15034659I think the reality is people who go generally wouldn't come back because they just get accustomed to the money and being at home. Maybe when they're older and their stock has fallen and they need income.
>>15033450both hikuleo and coughlin could have been big potential gets for new japanall the more reason they focus on boltin oleg now
>>15035002I disagree Hikuleo would max out at tama tonga status. Coughlin was floundering with his finding a gimmick; big thanks to the stellar LA Dojo for abandoning them. It would have taken him at least a few more years before he figured it out. Maybe he could have been something but he was still a pretty raw talent.
LolLmao even
>>15035885>hardest pushed and the most protected was the Tongan who pinned everyone>he's leaving after doing the job in ONE (1) elimination match with no fanfare at all Good job, guys
The whole Musketeers thing will never not be funny or frustrating to me. The term that originallt diescribed how prominent and extraordinary 3 young stars were becoming in the 90s was slapped on by the corporate office out of nowhere to 3 random guys who haven't done shit yet. The G1 right after they did this, none of them could make it out of their block, but some guy named Hikuleo did. Then later on to now, they still don't get pushed consistently. The AEW 4 Pillows may have had better booking.
>>15037100You can't compare them to the Musketeers, was a horrible idea from the start. There is no clear Hashimoto here, nor is there a Choshu to book and push him.It also took longer for the others to develop, Chono especially was a slow project.
>>15037100They slapped the term on the trio of Nakamura, Tanahashi and Shibata. Shibata would be gone, Nakamura struggled for years to get charisma and Tana still took time to develop into the ace.
>>15037285Nakamura got the "Inokism" rocket push and it nearly killed his career.He had a lot to overcome finding his new vibrating Michael Jackson gimmick
>>15036147grim
>>15035885>literally everyone in picrel has won a singles title except the Frozen MuskeetersYou can only truly fuck up like this on purpose.
>>15037525Calling the KOPW a singles title is incredibly generous, kek
>>15037525Build-up and preparation be damned, Gedo should be hotshotting the shit out of the three of them—get Shota the IWGP immediately and establish him as leader of Hontai, get Narita to exile EVIL from HoT with the permission from Dick, and make Tsuji start a civil war inside LIJ with Takahashi by his side. It would immediately make the three the most important individuals in NJPW.
Bushiroad stock is up over 20% from last month. We'll be out the trenches in no time.
>>15037971>get Shota the IWGP immediatelyRIP Shin Nihon, 1972-2024
>>15037971>get Shota the IWGP immediately and establish him as leader of HontaiTerrible idea>get Narita to exile EVIL from HoT with the permission from DickWorse idea, HoT isn't HoT without EVIL and you can have more than one prominent singles guy in a faction>make Tsuji start a civil war inside LIJ with Takahashi by his sideYou'll come out with 2 dead LIJ splinter groups
>>15037987>>15037997Not that anon but that's the kind of bold, decisive booking we needYou faggots would've been like>What's Choshu doing pushing Hashimoto? He's dimeless! He's not ready, he'll never be the face of the company.You can't shit on Gedo and then also shit on decisive action being taken to smash over the young guys, that's just having your cake and eating it too.
>>15038064>comparing shota to hashimotoholy grimola
>>15037971I would also like to add (although this is riskier in due part because Tony’s already got his eyes on him) that Narita plans his takeover of HoT in conjunction with Gabe Kidd—the two are in friendly terms with each other in kayfabe, Kidd is getting bigger and bigger reactions, and unlike Narita who relies on Dick to take control, Kidd could easily convince his War Dogs to turn on their leader, a man who comes from a wrestling pedigree unlike them. That way, the leaders of HoT and Bullet Club are buddy buddy with each other, the two groups work together more often, and the simultaneous betrayals show that the status quo of New Japan is rapidly changing. Of course, the problem would come with Gabe getting the prestigious title of Bullet Club leader, and might motivate Tony to speed up his poaching of Kidd, but better Kidd than Finlay.
Tony's gonna get Gabe Kidd and Shingo within 2 years guaranteed. He always makes who he wants obvious.
>>15038204>Implying AEW’s going to around in 2 years

>>15038838True if we're only counting this version of the IWGP title
>>15038846Nah both lineages
>>15038854you mean three lineages. 4 if we're counting the Inoki one Kurt Angle had.
>>15038838no it was jay white in 2022
Does anyone know the rumours about the heat with Gabe? Apparently there's some stuff in the Super J Cast discord (that you have to pay for access too, fucking grifters kek). But they are usually pretty hit and miss with rumours
>>15033450Hikuleo was based and I miss him
>>15039454He's a mad man yanno
>>15039454don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me. He was the guy who sperged out about some guy dressing like Shibata a few years ago after all.
>>15039454who knows what the reason is. it could be>he is not loyal and would jump to wwe or aew if offered> strong personality that would offend everyone> envy since he was able to do some shows with to aew and noah
>>15039454He's an unsafe shitter
>>15039766kek trannies do be mad that he killed flabston

>>15040015Would be funny as fuck desu
>>15040015that would be good because they will be forced to push somebody else for a little
>>15040721ah yes, they will take shota's push, the push where he lost every important match he was in, truly a blessing in disguise
Super J Cast trannies are reporting that Umino got police called to the dojo because he blackmailed some chick with the release of a sex tape. It's bullshit, right?

>>150415555ch anon hereNot yet
>>15041368kek i just open these threads occassionally now. wtf is he even going on about. the next show is on 3rd of july, right? i guess that is when mentally sane posters start posting again.
>>15041583Something about the Super J Cast discord. He is terminally online on discord and twitter as well it seems.
>>15041583That’s odd, the /njpw/ general was unusable during last year’s G1 because of the fabled “gabeschizo”…
>>15041886I remember the gamethreads were fine, if anything they were more quiet than anything
>>15039454>in the Super J Cast discordThe same retards that said Jay White wasn't getting pushed because Tony Khan thought New Zealanders didn't speak EnglishThey are not "usually pretty hit and miss with rumors," you imbecile. What you meant to say was they will air out any rumor in existence, whether credible or completely ass-pulledGod I hate podcast fags.
>>15041020ANOTHER fucking retarded, unsubstantiated rumor post from that retarded podcastGod you faggots are insufferable. Also nice samefagging Tsujischizo
>>15042263Okada big leagued New Japan to cut his cock off
>>15041298They have a secret channel in their Discord called "the deli" that you gotta donate at least a dollar to get access to.
Do you have a screenshot or are you just gaslighting with regards to the Shota story
>>15042724Of course he's gaslighting you retardI wouldn't be surprised if one of the Super J Cast guys is Tsujischizo, just some retard self-promoting and trying to smash over rumors that attack the guys he doesn't like
>>15042731I've watched the J Cast and they like Shota so I doubt it.
>>15042603Okay I didn't even mention that storyyou more or less just confirmed you make shit up and attribute it to the Super J Cast lol
We should go back to pinning these on VOW
>>15042757No, I just knew that you were the faggot that seethed about that kek
Tetsuya Naito has said that if he doesn't win the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at Forbidden Door, then he'll give up his spot in G1 Climax to Jon Moxley.
>>15043952Post proofsAlso if true it's about fucking time they at least do some sort of angle with the glaringly obvious absence of Moxley in the G1, let alone how he's still positioned as a face

>>15044325It really is funny how they didn't appreciate him in his prime and now he's the only thing holding the company up
>>15043952Naito sure loves giving away the result of matches he's gonna win
>>150443258-month EVIL title reign incoming
>>15043952>Naito loses the match>Publicly relinquishes his G1 spot>Moxley still doesn’t do the G1What happens next?

If you guys could poach ONE (1) wrestler from any company (WWE, AEW, TNA, DPW, MLW, NOAH, DG) to instantly revive NJPW, who would you hire and why?Hard Mode: No Main Eventers
>>15046958Give us Okada back
>>15046958I don't care or believe in "reviving" but Gunther is a natural choice. I think it'd be cooler if he was a strongly booked freelancer though, just showing up for big matches, feuds and tournaments here and there.
Mistico just made Zack Sabre Jr tap outNjpw guys getting ready to job early for FD lol
The Shota rumor has started spreading to reddit. The J cast becoming a gossip rap is really cringe. This is the same group that got told ebiru was winning at dominion and started not so subtly pushing that narrative as the most likely outcome. Also they have been saying for months on end that Kidd has had heat with the office but he got the strong belt. So ...
>>15047299He jobbed to Hechicero too. Would not be shocked if he loses to Orange. Definitely selling Zack winning the G1 stock. Really makes you wonder what his booking was all about this year.
>>15046958Gunther
>>15047299Mistico is unbeatable right now>>15047775Hechicero won but not clean, they can do a rematch down the line
>>15047299Mistico is getting that Mil Mascaras "I don't lose in Mexico" ego
>>15047836I know NJPW fans will never understand this, but you shouldn't job your biggest star to outsiders.
>>15048128There are a lot of things between "job" and "lose clean," anon. A million finishes that aren't clean and protect both guys, etc.Don't be willfully obtuse.
>>15048144to job = to loseAlso it was a multimatch

Does anyone have a webm of Rocky injuring Shota?
>>15048615kek someone post it
>>15048615It will never not be funny that Rocky was the one to injure Shota. Especially after he was shilling so hard for the Mox title reign, saying it would get Shota over
>>15047299There's a big difference between jobbing to tranny talent and jobbing to Mistico.
>Having to justify losing to Mistico's La Mistica in the Year of Mistico
>>15021638He’s pretty good but nowhere near as good as Tsuji
>>15022856Wait, you’re a faggot who listens to that shit?
Is it true Kevin Kelly is sueing AEW?
>>15049253Probably not. He seems to be losing it.
New Japan? More like...OLD Japan.
>>15049389T.cawdy
>>15047299>>15047836>>15048886I was gonna say lol, he's literally 2017/18 Naito levels of over right now. No shame in losing to that https://x.com/Peps_Wrestling/status/1804930212863369664
>>15048886>>15049406Couldn't this just simply be raising Zack's stock higher regardless? Feels like a lot of stuff he's been doing since Suzuki-gun disbanded is establishing himself and his brand.
>>15049406>>15049414Zack isn't winning the G1Cope and seethe
>>15049469What are the proposed stipulations? No DQ Plap on a Pole match?
>Zack tapping out and jobbing to Orange Tranny>Shota in jailfinnagods, it's /our turn/
>>15049414He had a good tour in Mexico, better than Hiromu even
>>15046958Joe Hendry
>*Dodges tranny door to go face his CMLL HERMANOS*How hard would you mark?
>>15049646Tiny Bakan is not letting go of the Tsuji toy
>>15049646Tsuji is so fucking ugly bros
>>15049705Inoki Finneroki
>>15049706t. shotettyYou wasted your one phone call on that?
>>15049266He sounded pretty lucid on Bishoff's podcast
>>15049406>peps
>>15049857who's that?
>>15049869Cringe and Reddit-pilled Twitter user
Tsujischizo paid Rocky to shoot on Shota and framed him for sex blackmail
>>15049495Reuniting with his JOYA BROTHER
>>15049902Wait until you find out what stage 3 is
>>15049646Following the theories about Tsuji's uprising with his crew of Mexibros it would make sense for him him to lean harder into CMLL
>>15049469>we need to appeal more to the mainstream rural fans!>constantly associates himself with the cringiest nerd media in existence
>>15050885lmao
Roppongi BL went viral again, boys.https://x.com/hideaki_taki/status/1805626370019803236
>>15051350inokists are shitting their pants right now LMAO
>>15051392Antonio Inoki was the promoter of NJPW from 1972 to 2005. Do you dislike all of NJPW during that time period?
>>15051677yeah that's exactly what i meant
>>15051700That explains your gay ass shit taste in professional wrestling.
>>15051715Retard
It's becoming increasingly obvious that the Tsujischizo is a fag from /puro/ that hates NJPW and only likes him because of "finner," same as Nakajima. But if you look at posts in that thread and this thread, well...It's pretty clear that they use that thread for discussion and just use this thread to spread their cheeks and spray diarrhea all over NJPW.Might even be this schizo from years ago.
>>15049485They will never have someone win both tournaments in the same year
Yeah Tsuji ain't winning both. I can't believe Shota is in jail. Hopefully he never shows up in New Japan again if the allegations are true.
Praying every day for Shota to enter the G1 and win it, hopefully all the Tsujifags will end their lives
>>15052370kek, I like Tsuji but the people who are his fanboys in this thread can absolutely die without me feeling much in the way of sadness.
>>15041020How could he do this. Evil man.
>>15052404based sociopath
>>15052570Some people are too dumb to live, anon.
>>15052586ya u
>>15052633Well, I can type the whole word "you," so I'm doing better than you are. Hey, speaking of (You)s, here's one last pity reply. You won't get any more out of me thread derailing schizo
>>15052347>I can't believe Shota is in jailMe neither, bro. It's so sad.
[Interesting News] Yota Tsuji's breasts are beginning to bud after successful HRT treatments.
kek what an ignored bitch
[Yuya News] Who?
>>15052849Tiny Bakan is getting revenge for that tweet
>>15052843(S)He does have a nice rack
>>15052843>>15053015gay
>>15052843>>15053015ZAMN! Yota Tsuji looks like THAT?
>>15052849[Grim News] there is not enough room in Tiny's toy box for Jeff Cobbu
I hope whilst Dynamite ratings continue to collapse that Tiny keeps signing New Japan players until his dad takes away the checkbook.
Let's see how our 5ch BROTHERS are doingTranny Door, WWE, Shota Umino and Zack Sabre Jr
You guys DO realize that if AEW goes out of business, we'll be stuck with guys like Moxley and Kingston forever, right? Guys who already have enough money, who have a chip on their shoulder about WWE, and who love Japanese wrestling even if it doesn't love them? If AEW closes, they will become NJPW mainstays. God help us all.We should pray for AEW's success.
>>15052849Saying anything not nice about Tony gets you in ghost mode
>>15053567They wouldn't be booked like ghosts, though
>>15053578Going to assume you meant guests but Moxley is a former IWGP heavyweight champion, they will always book him strong no matter what. Kingston? Eh, it depends. Your success in America typically translates to decent booking in Japan whether there are contracts or not, because it gives the option of bringing in an outsider to shore up your card without having to slowly bring them along like a prospect from Young Lion to excursion to return to push, etc.
>>15052250I don't even care anymore. He has been crapping on this thread with his unhinged nonsense non-stop. There is nothing to discuss until the next show on 3rd of July.
>>15053567>who love Japanese wrestling even if it doesn't love them?Japs love Mox and Kingston, stop being delusional
>>15053542>2023 was NJPW's biggest earning year since 2019, and not even that far behind 2019>and this with a bunch of half-empty housesNot sure what to make of this.Inflation being a motherfucker or are the doom and gloom posters just retards?
>>15053631In 2019, they didn't have Forbidden Door. Kidani has gone on record saying FD has net them a 1 million USD return each year (160,702,000 yen) but even this alone isn't enough to explain the increased business.NJPW must be doing pretty well after all.
>>15053631Tranny door moneyJust remember it comes with Tiny Bakan's dependence
>>15053676Like >>15053651 said, Tranny Door only accounts for 160 million yen out of 5.29 billion yen reported earnings.It's a big chunk but it isn't nearly enough on its own to explain things.
>>15053682Tiny Bakan paid 2 billion yen to NJPW directly for Okada
>>15054023Yeah, Tony paid a transfer fee, it was confirmed on The Podcast
>>15054039He also paid for Shota's bail from being a raping chud
fuck rocky for not booking bushi in aew
Naito in Dynamite :)
>>15054575And the crowd didn't give a shit lmaooo
>>15054044Stop making Shota sound cool
>>15054596more like they didn't know who naito is, which confirms that aew fans are posers
[Sad News] Gabe Kiddo is on Dynamite and has a match for Rampage, partnering with Roddy Strong.Also [Sad News] we have reached the bump limit
