genuinely the saddest failure in NJPW of the last 20 years.
>>19651847I like him a lot but he has a 1 of 1 ability to find what makes him the most dimeless and focus on it.The beard is a great example. Why did he have it for years? His shitty ripped up pirate gear he had for years.When he first debuted in LIJ he looked cool, the mohawk, the skull mask, the bat, but he ditched it all to be a fucking geek.
Sanada should've just sucked it up and went to get the surgeries he needed when Gabe Kidd hurt him. He'd be healed by now and could still be used in the main event as a guy to work with the young talent to start making them credible.
I liked him as champ
>>19651847Nah that's Shitter Poomino.
>>19651847I told you SANADA sucks, I said it in every NJPW gamethread from summer of 19 until Thanksgiving 2022 as well as any gamethread I occasionally popped into
>>19651931this shitty image always pops me because who the fuck is riding the bus in 2026? Uber exists.
>>19651847This run was legendary and he'll back in this form>>19651885this too
>>19651847He literally just needed a title defense against Shingo, the guy most upset at him for leaving LIJ, but dumbass Gedo wouldn’t give it to him. Fuck that unsafe shitter gabe too
>>19651847If someone had tried to shoot on him for the title and he beat the shit out of them in the ring Japanese wrestling would have been saved.
>>19651847Injuries took their toll. His complete lack of a promo and overall awkwardness made it hard to invest him anyways, he didn't have enough of a presence to overcome that. Maybe a good manager and a rivalry with someone other than Naito could have at least kept him relevant if he stayed healthy.
>>19652035I always throught he was a totally sufficient strong vanilla babyface promo, but I don't speak Japanese so I don't know.
>>19652058Hi promo was fine and the phone light thing was over
>>19651847Very sadola
>>19651944Poor people?
>>19651944>>19653138You would pay $20 to get to work every day? I guess you'll be poor soon then as well.
>Guy who isn’t exactly known to be a fountain of charisma but knows how to stand out visually>”Hey, we should make him look as clean cut and boring as possible! That will surely help!”
>J5G is getting over as the plucky underdog workman types>kill the stable immediatelyWhat the fuck Gedo
>>19653244How could J5G be underdogs when they had Taichi?
>>19651880same, shame he couldn't draw flies to shit
>>19651877What injury did he have? And how was he able to work through it? Can he still take time off to let it heal properly?
>>19651891kys if sanada sucks then tama sucks (they both rock but you're a tranny)
>>19651950I'm convinced that Gedo hates Shingo and doesn't want to let him do anything except job.
>>19651944Ukrainians and the people who kill them and get away with it.
>>19653244I have grown to have a massive hate boner for Gedo, all he wants to do is fill up every card with random tagmatch slop and bury anyone that people actually like. Tsuji beating Takeshitter was a nice exception but Gedo is a fucking awful booker.
>>19654128>all he wants to do is fill up every card with random tagmatch slopthat's just Japanese booking in general
>>19651891You cant tell me that Sanada asked to be like this. He is getting blackmailed or has debt or something.
>>19651847I liked Sanada as champion a lot. I'm sad he's a moron about doctors and surgery like a lot of Japanese wrestlers seen to be.
>>19651847Hell no, Snorenada is straight ass.>>19651891Truth Chad.
