/pw/ is a dead board. Nothing but the same 5 faggots seething about imaginary namefags (outside of 4chan btw) on an anonymous half-naked male groping forum.
If you actually want to discuss wrestling then get into Joshi, there's a fuck ton of those threads.

Several factors
1 see >>16033043
2 Puro let in way too many faggots in and basically chased away anyone who wants to enjoy it. They catered to manchildren who liked laughing at wrestling rather than actually taking it serious. Anyone can wrestle in japan and anywhere . They literally set up a ring in an apartment or a fake ring made out of mattresses and chains . It’s unhinged .
3 . The wrestlers used to actually look like professionals. Now any slob can get in the ring and larp. It’s embarrassing.
4 . Tony killed it. He came in and basically took all the toys he wanted and killed the field . If anyone starts to get over Tony swoops in and signs them. The days of big bad gaijins going over and making money is long dead . It’s a husk of what used to be cool.
5. Baba and inoki failed in raising good Apprentices. It’s really their fault

Puroresu used to be mainstream and had an effect on the pop culture in Japan . Not anymore .

Everything was looking good when covid regulations were lifted but went back downhill after New Japan sacrificed Kaito out of spite for NOAH and Okada nepotism.
Kaito has been fighting young guys from other companies as an Ace should and built New Japan's new star but they'll pretend the gaijin stable is responsible

Covid NOAH was legit some of the most fun I've ever had watching wrestling. Not sure why, but something about that period just felt so magical. The weird Fujita run, Go Shiozaki's was based, Finnerman before he KWAB'ed his career. That time they did a cage match out of the blue. Just a really fun period, and I miss it.

The core /puro/ guys that made the threads, posted the schedules, and tracked down each show they could all got banned for racism and transphobia.

/njpw/ died ages ago and NECKSTU ASHE posting was the only thing keeping it on life support after AEW (FUCK ROCKY) gutted the promotion and turned into a developmental in all but name.
>>
>>16034332
Frfr, the Noah empty venue shows were legit amazing. Between Muta, Nozawa, and Kenoh all coming up with batshit insane gimmicks every single show you had stuff like Nakajima having the run of his life, Dr. Wagner III sending in tapes from Mexico with crazy matches, production values going through the roof, and shitters like Renee Dupere finally fucking off. Noah had so much goodwill coming off of that run and they squandered the lot of it.

>>
>>16034332
>That time they did a cage match out of the blue.
Cage Wars used to be a semi kinda regular thing Noah did, and they brought it out specifically to give Nakajima an image change to cement him as Kongo's shooter tough guy. That match was the start of his hot period that lasted right up until the NJPW cross promotional show where Nakajima pretty much said fuck it and began phoning shit in until he bounced.

>Fujita
The second match with Kenoh was better. The first match held the gimmick way too fucking long and Go is too stiff to sell it the way Kenoh did. Kenoh's reactions were golden. You could see sweat start to drip down his face before he melted down.
Covid Noah was magically weird in a really good way. The closest Noah has come to that since then was the Monday Magic shows last year. I am looking forward to MMS2 since it seems like that is going to be the Nozawa booked gonzo subbrand of Noah.

>>16037023
How is that meds worthy? The guy that started /puro/ got banned publically months ago with the mods even leaving a mod message. The guy that used to post attendance and links to the shows phoneposted in the thread just the other day ago to say he hadn't been posting because his home IP got banned for posting the n-word and it was too much effort to try and post all that info from a phone.

The NJPW threads just turned to shit because everyone stopped caring.

>>16033042
Same shit that goes wrong in every single other thread, if you criticise something that isn't AEW, Swinewheels and his faggot buddies will swarm you, label you a piggE/edrone and derail every discussion you try to engage in

>Shut the fuck up pEd0 go back to your Coconut theater

OK then, eat shit, last time I bump one of your threads. And the rest of you sit around and let it happen, so you don't get to complain now about your generals dying. Shut the fuck up and reap what you've sown.

Westerners give much less of a shit about New Japan now then they did in 2016-19. It was a smark promotion then with guys like Omega, Ibushi, Okada back when he gave a shit and Ospreay having 'banger matches'. Now it's just a promotion like NOAH that's for Japanese fans, smarks don't care about it anymore.

>NJPW has to build up some wrestlers for these young guys to overcome. Hence why Zack is getting pushed and Goto is being based again.
This year's G1 was a great step in the right direction. It seemed like everyone cared who was in it, but there's always the issue of Tony and his infinite cheque book ready to sign anyone that gets over (see him booking Gabe on ROH now he's getting some buzz)
This year's WK should be the time to push some new younger guys, but with Wrestle Dynasty the next night there the real danger of WK just being used to set up all the "dream tag matches"
