What the fuck was the point of this title reign?
>>15094299Tony thought it was a good idea
They (for some fucking reason) like moxey
>>15094299Keep naito from breaking down
Lets be honest here, Naito aint the wrestler he once was.
>>15094299Rocky wanted to see a Mox/Shota IWGP title match
>>15094299Moxley vanity run
Roman and Seth were world champs and he looked like a Jannetty bitch. Tony didn't want to put the strap back on this dimeless shitter so he begged Nu-Japan to put it on him for a few months.
New Japan didn't realise how big of an antidraw he was until it was too lateThey just saw Roman and Seff breaking records in wwe and incorrectly assumed Dean could do the same for them
>>15094299I think they thought it would draw outside interest and didn't anticipate all the backlash/apathy
>>15094357>jasethy>breaking records Now even the most diehard drone is this delusional
>>15094299The point was to draw ratings and sell tickets. Both of which was a huge success, so seethe more dronie.
>>15094357Saying 'Roman and Seth' is like saying "The Beatles and Herman's Hermits"
>>15094299Moxley won't job to most of the AEW roster, so Tony can't have him in the main event scene, but still wants to have him carry around a shiny belt. Tony thinks putting any belt on someone automatically makes them over with the crowd.
>>15094420Lying about ratings and ticket sales in an era where you will be proven wrong with a 10 second google search is silly, anon
>>15094420
>>150945772023 was NJPW's best business year since 2019and ticket sales were up over last year for the entirety of the tours under Moxley's reign.So about that google search?
>>15094609BOSJ was up over last yearDominion was up over last year
>>15094609Why did they even take the belt off Sanada
>>15094632While this is trueif you looka t the upswing before and after moxleywhen molxey wins, tickets starting going up less
>>15094609Who main evented the show on the right? Please tell us. :)
>>15094632moxley didn't main event any BOSJ showsmoxley didn't main event Dominion
>>15094609WE LOVE YOU GOAT
>>15094642Moxley
>>15094642Wasn't that Best of the Super Juniors?So Moxley couldn't main event over that on a shitty drawing card? Damn, what an own Trevor.
>>15094609Left>With OkadaRight>Without Okada
>>15094673No it was Dolph Ziggler and Tanahashi you lying sack of shit
>>15094688>Wasn't that Best of the Super Juniors?LOL NO
>>15094609>>15094642>>15094695>posting Night 1, which Moxley didn't main eventkek what a lying bitchMoxley main evented 5/4 Dontaku which was up over last year, just like BOSJ, just like DominionStay seething Tsujischizo ya lying faggot
>>15094708I thought there was some show where that went on after the IWGP title?
>>15094733Not Dontaku
>>15094601retardnjpw never, ever,ever used to draw less than 1k a show. they would do 4+ stadium shows a year packing 50k plus. now they do 1 that draws 25k, business is in the shitter.
>>15094752>literal proof that business is going well>"BUSINESS IS IN THE SHITTER I SWEAR"Inokists are pathetic, delusional individuals
>>15094299To humiliate Who Japan and Tanahashi
>>15094299To remind Bushiroad that Tony Khan owns them.
>>15094299To say he had at it least once in his lifeIsn't he the only person to have held WWE, AEW, and IWGP word titles in his career?
>>15094299So Tony could have heat less “eliminator” matches that we knew Moxley wouldn’t lose.
>>15094632To both, thank you Despy
>>15094299make a wish for a drunk retard
>>15094357>>15094536Kek fucking delusional indians
He's a self mark and a retard.Dean thinks he's a legit tough guy. He thinks he's Onita. He thinks he's a shooter (though he taps out irl to weekender MMA dads).So in his mind, he's got to be the top guy even when he's not the top guy. This means he gets his own containment stable with containment feuds to keep him happy and away from the main event. It means he gets to carry another promotion's main championship.I am honestly surprised he didn't kick out at 3.1 tonight and can only think he was threatened with a major fine if he did.
>>15095529>finewouldve been the least of his worries
>>15094299Gedo hates Naito, this has been known for years. With no other top guy options they brought in Mox.
Moxley is so fucking cool. He's this generation's Steve Austin. Glad to see New Japan give him a run with the title.
>>15094299Continue NJPW's humiliation ritual
>>15094299the actual answer is to give naito some time off before the g1 since his body is sawdusted to hell
>>15095742moxley isn't a top guy>>15095773well that apparently didn't fucking work and they could've done other things instead of putting the title on a shitter
>>15095529>Dean thinks he's a legit tough guy. He thinks he's Onita.Onita wasn't a shoot tough guy you retard, he was originally a high flyer
Weak bait. Do better
>>15094319This, plus doing a few shows in the US market leading to Naito regaining the title just in time for the G1. Naito got to rest in tag matches and Moxley got to have some fun.
>>15094299Cross promotion I suppose. I don't think it worked out how Tanahashi wanted because Mox barely appeared on any NJPW show leading up to the title defence against Naito, and part of the story was literally Naito saying that their champion has pulled a Roman. I also think Tony got some heat for booking the Hobbs match
>>15094752>they would do 4+ stadium shows a year packing 50k plus.Literally when?
>>15094299austin aries level "give me the strap or im not coming to your bingo hall" type pollyticking
>>15094299The point was to put you Nujamals in your fucking place. AEW is the big leagues, you're the developmental bitch. Enjoy your IWGP Heavyweight toy belt for the next 6 months. At Wrestle DYNASTY, it's coming back to AEW. Wrestle Kingdom is where you little Nujamals boys can play with each other. At Wrestle DYNASTY, the pressure is on. Now AEW can enjoy making NJPW look like bitches on Japanese soil.
>>15096255proof that most diehard aew fans are only in it to spout narcissistic and ugly things
>>15094601The interest for NJPW is at its lowest worldwide since probably 2016-2017, they might have still had an okay year financially because they got rid of some big contracts, still the booking is still so dreadful their popularity is not gonna recover, especially since they are desperately trying to get attention from americans and that automatically means shit booking choices that the japanese audience won't care about.
>>15096503AEW trannies are disgusting freaks and posers, but that's obviously a falseflag, friend
>>15095773There was no time off kekNaito sawdusted himself just as much as Moxshit the entire time Moxshit had the belt
>>15096608my bait radar is admittedly rusty by now
