Tanahashi San,

I wish I could put into words how much just being around you as a young man meant to me.

You showed so many of us how important it is to be kind & respectful to every person you came into contact with.

Getting to travel japan with you was one of the most rewarding things I ever experienced as it showed me exactly who I want to be as a wrestler & human being.

You set the bar for all of us.
So honoured to get to witness your last ride in a sold out Tokyo dome.

Thank you for everything and congratulations on an amazing career.

He probably just exposed the Japanese wrestling business harder than anyone ever has. I don't think I've ever seen that kind of access to a locker room -- also the guys were not keeping kayfabe at all, they were just shooting the shit.
We need somebody to translate the whole thing ASAP. Sadly he just ended the broadcast after talking to Tanahashi.

Well that was incredibly bACEd as expected

Everything from Wolf's match on totally delivered, overdelivered really. Amazing send off for Tanahashi.

Is this what Inokis retirement felt like?

New Japan's only marketable star left is a guy that just had his first ever match. How is that possible?

File: IMG_2038.jpg (1.02 MB, 1170x845)

1.02 MB JPG

>>19618260
There was a time when NJPW had no marketable stars but Inoki for like 15 years straight (Fujinami was never a star). They didn't get another ascendant star until Choshu and then they had 3 in the 90s, largely thanks to Choshu's more generous booking, and then after that they went through another drought where Nagata was the guy but wasn't really a 'marketable star' until Tanahashi emerged and became a bankable main eventer (which did not happen instantly by any means, took years)

So yeah I'm just gonna say watch more NJPW and don't be a historylet.
Stars don't just fall out of the sky. They're made and sometimes it takes years and years.

I became a pro wrestling fan because I admired Keiji Mutoh, and I joined New Japan Pro-Wrestling because of you.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to walk down.the Tokyo Dome aisle again, even though I left New Japan Pro-Wrestling this year.

We will likely never face each other in the ring again... no, we won’t. We won’t fight in the ring anymore, but I look forward to the day I can see you again in this New Japan Pro-Wrestling ring.

>>19618520
can someone explain to me how far apart are Stardom and Marigold? is the gap like comparing NJPW with NOAH

>>19618532
Just keep an eye and an ear open for other promotions.

NJPW in particular no one knows how it's gonna turn out after this show. Because they currently have no active major faces with crossover appeal anymore.

NOAH is basically a retirement home for those not in NJPW.

Dragon Gate is its own thing in the Osaka area that is reliant on if you like the stables concept. Which isn't everyone's cup of tea

You got a mishmash of others with varying quality like AJPW, TJPW, Zero1, etc.

And then at the bottom of the barrel that isn't indie shit, GLEAT which is home of all the blackballed wrestlers that can't get work anywhere else in the country for legitimate reasons.

>>19618545

>>19618606
After Choshu retired

>>19618606
Jay Whita vs Tama Tonga for the IWGP happened in 2022. Stfu.

>>19618621
Amazing how much worse its gotten in three years.

>>19618605
They're going to see the fat lazy ugly judoka win a belt in his first match and then New Japan will die.

>>19618627
You're delusional. Seek help.

>>19618587
I don't want Goto to lose challenges though :(

>>19618631
Zack Sabre Jr is a multi time world champion over a year and a half period. Not my fault you like slop.

>>19618645
are we pretending that tama tonga and gay shite are better than zsj now? bloody hell

>>19618645
ZSJ was over as fuck until he changed his theme to that slop shut the fuck up

The rail thin British faggot was never good. Additional recent champions include: Sawdusted Naito, Jon Moxley and perennial failure Hirooki Goto. If you don't think that's a grim lineup, then yes, you do like slop.

>>19618665
The only bad one here is Moxley, you're a retard.

what a grim show

>>19618665
sorry not reading your faggot opinion. ZSJ was over like rover in 2023 and won the title because of it. Then he killed all the momentum at Wrestle Kingdom 19 by changing his theme to pure shit and having the worst WK match ever (mostly the fault of Shota Umino Fucking Sucks)

>>19618673
>immobile Naito isn't a bad champion
It's not the 2010s anymore, dumbass. But that much is probably obvious by the declining attendance numbers and overall worse product.

>>19618676
retard

>>19618680
go suck on Wolf's tits, tranny
it was grim

Someone already joke that Wolf got more belts in six months than any other NJPW ace?

>>19618673
They're all bad though. Naito's reign was dogshit. Plagued by bad booking and Naito's own inability to walk, let alone wrestle.

The TV Asahi broadcast just started. First 2 shots are Wolf and Tana warming up

>>19618678
meant 2024

Wolf's middle name is Phillip lol

>>19618683
wolf is white hot and over already watch the product

>>19618683

I'm not the one acting like a wrestler betrayed me because he changed his entrance theme and pretending that there was this big change about him. You are embarassing. Kill yourself.

From 2012, for 14 years, I haven't said I'm tired, so I've been stocking up on 14 years' worth of 'I'm tired.' Hah, I'm tired (applause in the venue). Thank you very much."

There is definitely heat between Tana and Naito. Tana was emotional and crying for everyone except naito appearance

>Rocky and Kato higher on the card than YuSho (Japanese for victory btw)

I really desire an exclusive WWE partnership on you

I'd actually be pleasantly surprised by it being Swerve or MJF. Sink or swim for them.

Have WWE wrestlers acknowledged Tanahashi after the show? I only see AEW/Stardom wrestlers on my timeline.

Yeah I saw these tweets but I believe they were posted before the show. I was just wondering if WWE wrestlers reacted to the match/ceremony. I think Natalya tweeted after the match.

>>19610070
>I feel like jericho is gonna be the surprise tomorrow in the ten man tag, anyone else?
feels /= reals

I thought Tana's retirement match with Okada was excellent. NJPW hit the landing perfectly. That's how you do a send off

>>19619205
You want the ones from NJPW thread or the Zundoko because opinions are different lol
But the most funny comments between those threads were all about Shooter new gear and his belly

>>19619401
Also FUCK WWE. They deliberately put Shin back on TV this week to have an excuse to bar him from attending Tanahashi's retirement show

>>19619251
More like, which AEW wrestler is holding the IWGP Heavyweight for that G1?

>>19618593
>>Shitters like Evil and Finlay
>yeah some people just don't deserve to live
this guy gets it

So is Tsuji actually bringing back the old belt or did we get baited again?

>>19619205
>Wolf suddenly won the belt, so I wonder how he'll defend it in the future? It's not like he can always have someone who can make the match go well.
>I wish Wolf Aaron had toned up a bit more.
>Wolf's physical abilities and movements are big and impressive, but he doesn't seem to have a great sense of professional wrestling, which is the most important thing.
>Wolf is big and his moves are beautiful, but if he's put into the current New Japan Pro Wrestling style that emphasizes flow, he'll lose his appeal. In the first place, his face isn't very good-looking.
>Wolf looks like just a chubby old man now, so I think he should stop wearing his shaved head and black pants.

>>19619435
he is jobbing to Jake Lee anyway

couldn't watch the whole post-match ceremony

Was any mention to Tsuji and Wolf at all?

>>19619437
lol japanese fans are saying the exact same thing that retards on here said don't matter.

>>19619437
grimsters won again

more comments
>Of course, he's an Olympic gold medalist, so they can't let him lose without any hesitation, and it's already been decided that the show will be broadcast on terrestrial TV.
>Wolf Aaron himself had some weird pauses in his moves and was a complete amateur, but it's amazing how EVIL and the others can make a match against amateurs so exciting.
>I also liked that they didn't lean towards a judo style as much as I thought they would. I really felt their determination to do pro wrestling from scratch.
>I wonder if RIZIN will make an offer to Wolf? I'm worried he might get poached.

Also there were plenty of comment on Tsuji/Tsuji's shoulders looking stiff. I didn't notice watching it live.

>The excitement at Wolf's venue today was incredible. Everyone has high hopes for Wolf. I think everyone feels that Tsuji, Umino, Kamimura, Narita, and Oiwa just aren't good enough.
>Wolf's power slam is probably based on Buzz Sawyer's form
>Wolf Aaron was out of breath in the first five minutes and clearly still looked overweight. He needs to lose about 15kg.
>I'd be happy if Wolf could defend to some extent and then the real deal, Boltin, would come out in the end.
>Gay people were very disappointed when Wolf shaved his hair.
>Considering that Wolf was pretty exhausted after being penalized and sleeping for about half of the 12 minutes of his debut match, it seems he still doesn't have the stamina.
>In that sense, the fight against Wolf was probably the best for TV. The villain-punishing moves were easy to understand today, and the match was under 15 minutes long, so it was very easy to watch.

Also there were comment on TV Asahi broadcast, they showed Kamitani vs Syuri, Takeshita vs Tsuji, Wolf vs EVIL Tanahashi vs Okada plus the ending ceremony but not sure about the timing anons said, but for sure they showed off more Wolf vs EVIL and Tanahashi vs Okada matches

Very true

>>19619437
>>Wolf is big and his moves are beautiful, but if he's put into the current New Japan Pro Wrestling style that emphasizes flow, he'll lose his appeal.
this is true. he needs to avoid the epic bangerino meme and just maul dudes in 8 minute matches

next year Tiger Mask retires so we'll sell out the Dome again

>Kamimura
Kanimura is how google translate translates Uemura. And whoever thinks that is a retard.

You give Yuya the ball, and he'll go very far with it. They just fucked up trying it with Shottetty.

>>19619754
Hasn’t that guy come out of retirement like three times now

>>19619778
Heh

People are the same everywhere

>>19619776
Silence, Shotafag. Just cause your flop flopped doesn't mean Yuya would. As is, in fact, what Tsuji is proving.

next >>19619789

Heartbroken to see Tanahashi go. Popped big when Naito came out.
Why did they let their last legacy name go?
>>19613808

>>19619836
