Yota Tsuji was not in character when he disparaged New Japan's partner, AEW, according to NJPW officials.

No news if he will be reprimanded or fired
>>
What will they do? Fire him? That's unlikely because they know NOAH or AJPW would sign him in seconds. He's also the only younger guy NJPW has even half ass tried to push.

problem tone? you gonna get him suspended too ya four time KWABOTY winner?
>>
>>19599309
Maybe he should go to NOAH and suck fed cock and take a clean pin from some NXT rookie or something
>>
>>19599309
If true he's my favorite wrestler of the year so far
>>
Kek smarks are so easily worked
>>
>>19599309
He's right, I'm AEW first and haven't watched much of NJPW this year and I'll be the first to admit the partnership is fucked rn
>>
>>19599317
kek they must really hate tony over there. can't respect them for taking the money doe
>>
>>19599309
this guy is a retard. AEW doesn't need NJPW, NJPW needs AEW because their economy is shit and forbidden door helps them a lot money wise
>>
>>19599309
He's taking shots at AEW but wouldn't it make more sense to criticize NJPW management?
>>
>>19599333
that kind of thinking is what pisses off nooj fans
they want partnerships but dont wanna feel second fiddle
>>
>>19599317
Love Charlton. Wish he had walked when they suspended him. See if AJPW wants to add English commentary.
>>
>>19599344
one company has over 30 years of history
the other is barely 6 years old
so yeah, they expect to be treated like the superiors in the relationship even if aew has more money
>>
>>19599309
Tony neutered NJPW in a way that WWE had hoped they would do by competing against it there with an NXT Japan or propping up another promotion. The roster is gutted not just off old draws but also any new ones that might have led to a resurgence. The brand is in the toilet and is now tied at the hip to AEW, and made to look secondary to a 6 year start up. THat's hella damage in a few years. Any fear WWE had of NJPW getting major traction in the West through a TV deal or partnering with an American fed has long passed. Great job Tone! Keep it up.

At least NOAH is putting on good shows. And their partnership with WWE is very healthy.

NOAH had an event last night and it was the complete dog shit lol

it's more about not feeling inferior
just japanese honor autism and respecting partnerships
lots of modern japanese companies are like this
>>
>>19599309
Japanese men with dark brown skin are descendants of the Japanese that fought in WW2, the ones that were bayonetting children

Tony screwed the Japanese wrestling scene so bad that a woman won Tokyo Sports MVP because she's the face of the only company that's consistently watchable.
>>
>>19599317
that's my GOAT right there
>>
>>19599309
this "in character" bullshit is retarded. either its something he can say or he cant. its like trying to determine if drew mcintire is in character when he shits on the booking. who cares. either you let him say it as your employee or you don't

NOAH put on an awful show last night

There was 1 good match, the Hiromu match, and they got the most broken down version of Naito I've ever seen whose very presence utterly DESTROYS Ozawa's gimmick and just makes him look like a second-rate rip off who just added faggot shit to it
>>
>>19599309
Every NJPW "scoop" ends up coming out of an AEW source's mouth so someone got worked

A NJPW Jr carried a guy with no charisma to the match of his career and match of the show. And people like me who have heard of Ozawa go to watch him do Naito's shtick 10 years after he made it cool. GREAT SHOW

The AJPW show was honestly a billion times better than the NOAH show. Miyahara vs Anzai was better than Ozawa vs Inamura and I won't be surprised if it beats Takeshita vs Tsuji too.
>>
>>19599812
Not a shock that a women's wrestling company is currently eating NOAH's lunch tbqh, New Japan might be in bad shape but things can always be worse
Imagine dropping Shiozaki just to bring on 2026 Naito
>>
>>19599955
NOAH is dire. NJPW is maybe just maybe barely better. The Japs love booking themselves into ruts and fucking their fans because Japs love being abused. Japtards will go to any show if it means getting to see their juicy little slapperinos with 50-year-old men. Until japtards boycott, they deserve it. Jap wrestling is highly overrated at the moment though. Still better than most American shit, but vastly overrated.
>>
>>19599977
While I check in on everything, I really only watch Stardom regularly these days.
It's not that I prefer women's wrestling over the best that men can do, it's just that the men aren't doing much.
Really hope one of these companies can figure out what it needs to do to recapture the magic.
>>
Uh, this interview that was in NJPW and published by NJPW was totally a heckin shoot guys, trust us!
>>
>>19600046
shhh let the e-tards think its real
>>
>>19599955
Naito still has star power, Go is a failed ace in 2 separate companies no matter how much either of them tried to push him OR whichever successful top guy he tries to rip off
>>
Man, for people who claim to be wise about wrestling, fedophiles sure fucking get worked easily the moment they read something that fits into their delusions.

i'm confused specifically about how the AEW partnership allows easier facilitation of NJPW wrestlers to get poached, which is maybe the most common complaint i see about the partnership
wouldn't that just happen anyway because of AEW's existence and tony as an infinite money nooj mark?
CMLL apparently does not have this problem nor stardom
>>
>>19599977
NJPW is at least struggling with young guys so there is potential and room for improvement.

NOAH is a retirement home aside from like two dudes. Also, NOAH's booking does not hesitate to put those old guys over young guys constantly.
>>
>>19599309
the proper response to this would be to use it to build a big angle for forbidden door
>>

ALL JAPANERS......... THIS IS OUR MOMENT

NuJamal is our little bitch. If Tone wants it, he will just buy it, fire this ungrateful bugman and ruin his career, and turn it into second ROH.
>>
>>19600150
Yet I'd still rather watch Go than Naito in his current state (and Naito was my favorite of the modern New Japan guys).
Kind of the only thing that matters to me personally.

The Forbidden Door PPV allows Tony to try NJPW wrestlers before he buys them. Notice how basically everyone booked on that show (apart from ZSJ who's a weird communist with a boyfriend in Japan and Tanahashi) have eventually signed with AEW. Its true that Tony could just poach guys without FD, but he clearly doesnt watch much NJPW anymore (he doesnt know storylines etc) and he's got all the toys from NJPW's golden era that he wanted. Without the partnership Tony wouldnt be able to get away with using the guys he's poaching throughout their final year in NJPW, effecting the storylines they have going on (eg Ospreay and Gabe Kidd)
>>
>>19599316
>That's unlikely because they know NOAH or AJPW would sign him in seconds
JEJ who cares
that's like saying maricold would sign saya, or TNA or MLW would sign punk if they left - WHO CARES?
naito said it best, the new japan ring is the most prestigious in the world, wherever he goes is pissant comparatively
>>
>>19599309
I'm fucking sick of Western "reporting" and engagement. Japan is the place trying to keep some facade of kayfabe going while AEW and WWE are all WORK SHOOT WORK NEW INTERVIEW DROPPED CONFIRMED IT WAS A WORK SOURCES SAY THE FACE TURN WAS WELL RECEIVED

NJPW does not benefit from AEW and have lost prestige as well as talent. They could partner with WWE in a second and turn their business around. If you want to try and dispute this, explain why Tana's opponent lost clean 2 fucking week before his retirement match.
>>
>>19599309
Is anyone actually surprised
>>
>>19600745
>They could partner with WWE in a second and turn their business around
lolno that's not how that works and in the end they would still be a poorly booked promotion with jews for partners instead of pakis
>explain why Tana's opponent lost clean 2 fucking week before his retirement match.
Not a single soul gives a fuck about Okada losing a match before facing a guy who's retiring
>>
>>19600760
Rhetoric counter and rhetoric counter... You seem like a normal fan instead of the usual troll so I'm going to kindly request an explanation for 'that's no how it works' and 'nobody cares Okada lost 1 week before' or why he just couldn't be in that fucking match before such a huge show. I won't argue whatever you say, just hear you out to see your persepctive.

smarks of all types regardless of their preferred promotion are significantly easier to work than normie marks. old school guys had to verbally abuse the shit out of the audience then hit the face with a tire iron to get some heat. now you just go on twitter and say mild criticism and the smarks will endlessly seethe. look at this fuckin board

WWE has been looking for a Japanese wrestler to replace Shinsuke Nakamura, they would sign him if he becomes available, obviously he won't be going to AEW since he hates them.

What do the Japs actually want from AEW?
>Stop stealing the talent!
but their contracts were expiring and they went where the money is. You can still borrow them now and then
>send more talent over!
That's up to the talent. Maybe they don't want to go to Japan
>Stop putting belts on AEW talent!
Take it up with New Japan. Tony doesn't book it.
>>
>>19602676
>You can still borrow them now and then.
This is a lie and part of why AEWtists are hated by every fans of every other wrestling companies.
>>
>>19602693
Okada, Bucks, Bryan, Mox and Kenny have all gone to Japan? Maybe they don't want to go for extended periods. Maybe White and Ospreay don't want to go at all with their other responsibilities?
