That's the entrance of a guy ascending
Bros idk who to root for here
Wato-chads, GET THE FUCK IN HERE!
WATO BROS... IT'S TIME. THE WAY IS HERE
>>16207550Do I root for one meme wrestler who is meh or the other meme wrestler who is just okay?
>>16207525Kinda hopes Gabe injures Kenny at Dynasty, because it would be pretty funny

>>16207556>meme wrestlershut the fuck up fucking faggot
Shacho, I ask again, fix your tag divisions
>>16207556DOUKI's gotten a longer run than anyone expected, and Wato lost his hometown challenge last year. It's his time.
>>16207564to be fair he's only been running the Bullet Club gauntlet while two guys have been on the injury list and Hiromu has been playing in an openweight space
>wato got injured and yoh helped him get in touch with artBased KITANO CHADS
>Meltzer never watches NJPW anymore>stays up to watch it live because he knows Kenny is thereHe is such a mark
>>16207569That's still more than what anyone would expect. He beat Ishimori clean. This is 4 points in BOSJ 2022 DOUKI we're talking about, he was for all accounts a jobber who got a surprise upset over Despy.
>>16207571It also started at 10pm where he's at. It's the only reason Im watching it live
>>16207569Wins over Despy and Ishimori more than makes up for him doing filler defenses vs HoT in terms of credibility. The only thing in question about him losing here is what he'll be doing at the Dome

Theyre shocking taking their time with this one. I thought they were gonna go crazy to start given their story

Nice fucking sequence right there
>>16207617That rollup was so smooth
LETS GO WATOOOOO!!
DOUKIBROS WE HOLD
>1 count spotDUD match
These 1 count spots really need to stop
I like 1 count spots.
>>16207628>>16207632There's gonna be at least 1 more in the main event>
>>16207633They are faggy and they give away who is winning (the kick outer rarely wins the match)
DOUKIBROS WW@>>16207636SHUT YOUR ASS UP
Watobros...the road continues
>holding up his legs after passout finishThat young lion is a pro
I FUCKING KNEW IT
>fans yelling DSP lmao
Douki's on a bit of a runhe's at v4 now
4 defenses before dropping back to Despy is very respectable
the only title match at WK I'm looking forward to is this one
>>16207644Out Last EVERYONE DSP
the jr's actually have a fair amount depth and most of them all pretty over
>>16207661Unironically thanks to the injuries, Despy and Hiromu (and YOH) being out made them have to think on their feet and it did wonders
>hiromu title match teased immediatelythe cycle never ends
Douki is super over now
Taichibros get ready
Are we ready for SANADA to break Taichi's heart?

holy fuck
Wow look at all those push-ups, he should call himself Fit Finlay
BEAT THAT NIGGA ASS
Taichi is so fucking good at that stonefaced angry babyface role. New generation may need to sit down and watch Taichi tapes
>>16207728No way
>>16207750Shota was channelling some of that at the last Power Struggle with Ospreay and it was good, didn't get followed up on though
>>16207750One of the greatest unKWABs of all time

You've gotta be shitting me
NOOOOOOOOOOOO

>sanada doing his best pulp fiction travolta .gif in the background
SANADA YOU SON OF A BITCH
>another boring shitter in War Dogs????
HE WAS YOUR BOY, HE LOVED YOU
If they don't get a singles match at WK I'll be pissed
I love heel SANADA already
I'm a sad man.
I'm actually fucking worked
Just 4 Guys bros we're back
>>16207804They've gotta surely?
Either Tsuji or Finlay winning would be very funny
has anyone in NJPW ever fallen this far down the card?
>>16207820Huh? Who in this match fell down the card at all?
>>16207812Always the plan, get the shirt out of the closet
>only top match at Historic X Over is Mayu vs Momo what a nothing show lol
>>16207822Sanada went from main eventing the dome to being like the 4th ranked guy in a faction
>>16207824It was never intended to be anything but a fun nothing show dumbo
>>16207822I guess it depends if SANADA just becomes a War Dog tag guy
>>16207826>4th ranked guy in a factionAccording to whomst?
>>16207826>>16207828Face it, SANADA was a tag guy in LIJ as well. He was just briefly a "top guy" in J5G, he went UP the card, this isn't him falling down
>>16207829i don't knowbroi can think of 3 people in bullet club with a singles match on the 4th or 5thand SANADA ain't fucking one of them
>former IWGP Heavyweight World Champion becomes second banana to a guy who has never broken out of the midcardYeah, it's a massive downgrade and you're retarded if you think otherwise.
>>16207834>SANADA ain't fucking one of themPretty sure he's facing Taichi
Did Jake's foot implode that night, the fuck kind of acquisition is that for the Dogs4real right before tag league and WK
That Jake Lee and Sanada tag team is gonna slap
>>16207834He's obviously going to have one against Taichi, they do something exciting and all you motherfuckers do is bitch and bitch and bitch, it's fucking annoying
These Japanese War Dogs picks are not good. Somehow a more random addition than some bald white guy like Robbie X
>>16207839This but unironically
>>16207848Tbf brawling the War Dog way is a very western art. Which Japanese guys would even fit naturally?
Will SANADA start being a prick and dropping guys in their heads? Or is he just gonna be a cheeky HOT style heel?
>>16207843the basedboys on here dont enjoy anything they just constantly complain and CATASTOPHIZE as if sanada is below gape klitt somehow ROFL
>>16207864>a cheeky HOT style heel?In War Dogs..?
>>16207864It's kind of funny picturing him in my head, just making the same faces and moves to the crowd but in a context that fits better and can get to a crowd more
Will Shota get booed when he comes out after this match?
>>16207835Finlay will be the IWGP champion soonAnd the fucked up part? He deserves it, he's cookingNever doubt Gedo
>>16207874I vote yeah, maybe not during the match but they've never liked him challenging + we're in Osaka
>>16207876Well he claims his Global belt is on the same level and him losing three times to a row to Tsuji (and then the belt) would make it awkward to just switch to the World
These need to start downsizing Bullet Club. Keep who they have in the B team except that Robbie geek, cut HOT away because the loose association shit doesn't add much of anything to their dynamic since their differences aren't part of a story, Rogue Army who cares, Gold doesn't even make sense to be part of this group.
>>16207870Pic related is already a perfect heel taunt
>>16207888HoT is already basically not Bullet Club. It's just a name.And GayEW isn't canon.Agreed with you on the rest.
>>16207892Even the way he comes to the ring and stands on the apron and the look he makes to the camera just works for a heel, can just walk even slower for effect
Ngl Im just waiting on the 1 count spot
KITA KITA KITAAAAAAAAAA
All this heel talk reminds me that Shingo and Tsuji did some great work with Oiwa, feels like they should be heels yesterday
>the only 3 Japanese heavyweight singles champions in Japan are Kaito, Manabu Soya and YAMATOJapan has collapsed
So we all just gonna ignore that Finlay bodyshamed Tsuji? Really?I thought we was better than that
>>16207897The name association is part of the problem, as well as these milquetoast additions to War Dogs.
>>16207932Zakku Seiba Juniah's home is Nippon though
>>16207926>feels like they should be heels yesterdayOiwa is just a great underdog, LIJ shouldn't go heel again with Naito (presumably) on his way out
Any cool Gabe Kidd shirts? The man needs something good i can't walk around in a War Dogs shirt thats an instant pussy drier
>>16207938>no women on card>bodyshaming>gay guys used as comedyI'm literally shaking, this would never happen in the stunning and brave West
>>16207938i don't listen to people in victim weight category
So will they boo Shota again after this or be silent
>>16207954I like this one, looks like a hardcore punk shirt
>>16207944there's no name association and jake lee and sanada aren't "milquetoast" additions... BITCH!
>>16207938Nigga should lay off the pudding
>>16207962I dont know man that ones a lil sussy to me. I need something the hunnys can enjoy too.
>>16207968Nigga the "hunnys" aren't going to be into any wrestling shirt get real
very much a Takagi crowd
Tony watched the Kenny segment
>>16207969Im just saying I can't walk around with a gay samurai on my chest because it's lame and ugly and rizzlessPlease don't use the n-word
>>16207962unless youre a teenager you shouldnt be dressing like this
>>16207968>>16207974Sounds like you need to bust out the big guns anon
>Tanahashi & JADO in Tag Leaguewtf
>>16207981do not even joke about that shit
Lads, I dunno if it's because I know Shota is his opponent at WK, but ZSJ feels a bit meh as champ now
>>16207974This is sounds like more your speed
>>16207983Who's joking? https://x.com/njpw1972/status/1853362319209939267
>>16207981>Tanahashi and Jado in WTL>together they are...>2 knees
>>16207984warned you fucks and none of you believed me
>>16207977>>16207985I want them to be Gabe Kidd shirts
>>16207970if the fans like both they normally cheer for the underdog. Its pretty hard to get japs to legit boo you with hate like Shota did the other day
>>16207981Boltinbros...
>>16207986>>16207987I'm sorry Ace I can't think of a more piss break team like what the fuck>>16207995and yeah how the fuck do you justify Jado over Boltin, ACE AND BOLTIN ARE 6 MANS TOGETHER
>>16207905There we go
>>16207995>>16207998Boltin could wrestle handicap matches and still end with a positive record
Time to boo Shota I guess
Great match but nothing new from these 2
>>16207998Maybe it means Boltin and Yano are teaming
>Zack vs ShotaThe state of Nooj
>>16208007Nah Yano is teaming with Honma
Will Zack tell the crowd to "be nice" to Shota again?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
D A I B O O I N GAIBOOING
The booing is based, might make him do anything except Le Destined Ace gimmick
Hartley Jackson looks like he should a monster meathead heeter for a heel zack
>They happily shook his hand when he came out for his match >Now they're booing him????
This dude is cooked
>>16208018It's a shame he's shoot one of the worst wrestlers in Japan
>>16208019"We don't hate you but you're not the guy"
>>16207525I turn it on and immediately see shotas stupid face what is this shit
umino cant cut a promo
>Boos to silent indifference Uh oh
>not even confirmed for WKlmao enjoy jobbing at the Stardom show, geek
>>16208025why did you turn it on at the end you fucking idiot?
if Zack can get 25k in the buildingi don't want anyone to ever call him a anti draw.
WHAT THE FUCK
Oh fuck off
EEEEEH?!
>almost falls off the apronHate this nigga
Ooohhhhhh
do we have a US show coming up?anyway he's more over then fucking shota kekek
OH FUCK OFF IM CANCELLING NU JAMAL WORLD
It might actually be over for NJPW
>gets better reactions than SHOTETTY GIVE HIM THE DOME MAIN EVENT SPOT RIGHT FUCKING NOW
This is the best they can do for a filler defense?>>16208041Historic X Over
WHERE THE FUCK ARE HIS BOYS GET OUT THERE
>>16208044we dont need a nigger midget
Zack gets Ricochet instead of Okada KEK
>Zack vs Shota>Zack vs RicochetWhat the fuck is this shit
>shooter comes in for the save>still gets booed
What the fuck is happening
The absolute state of this.
So Shota isn't winning and Zack has the dimeless Ricochet the next nightWTF
i don't see a world where Ricochet fucking main events a domeZacks not winning
>>16208055the death of njpw
i just cancelled nu jamal world because of aew
>>16208064I might just do that too lol
Samanthairvingbros...
Naito is gonna need to have two dream matches to save this WK
>>16208031Because I was fucking sleeping
>>16208069you did the right thing
Let's say somehow Zack surivies this and still reminds over. should goto win the cup and beat him
>>16208067>Naito makes a vote to get the main and semi-main
>>16208072So I take it I didn’t miss anything good?
>>16208073Goto should beat him at New Beginning
>>16208067Naito & Hiromu winning the tag belts
i legit think this shit ends with a fucking heel shota and moxley with both belts.
Fucking Ricochet
>>16208073I know things are weird right now gotofag but you can't keep doing this to yourself
What a fucking mess of a final hour, pretty fun in that though
>>16208075You missed the greatest betrayal of all time>>16207811
Ricochet has completely deflated me. I don't want his flippy shit anywhere near NJPW
>>16208092Same, im actually in to the suffer porn of ShotaI can think of 10 people in AEW that should be in the main event of the 5thONE WAS EVEN ON THIS SHOWfuck Ricochet
>WWE gives Shinsuke to NOAH to face their new young guy from MMA who they've been pushing hard>AEW gives fucking Ricochet for a fucking Tokyo Dome title match and Tanahashi accepted that shitThe excitement has died
Naito is gonna have to wrestle Hiromu and then Okada to try and save this weekend
I'm not gonna like the masochist in me was chuckling when his name appeared on the screen
>>16208111>He thinks the IWGP Heavyweight Championship will be main eventing instead of the AEW World Title
>>16208117*lie
>>16208111NJPW made Ziggler and Riddle champions in their first matchThey are not above booking shit
I beat they end up panic booking Naito (or Tanahashi) vs Okada for Dynasty
I'd be concerned for threads being shit up with Ricochet doomposting but we don't even get threads anymore
>>16208141the aew discord will help you guys out until January
>Ninja Mack had his last match in JapanTruly, the Nippon spirit is fading....
>>16208122>>16208125Why are NJPW such cucks for Americans
kek the absolute fucking state of new japan
[Good News] Dave Meltzer (65) loves AEW of Japan
any sexy bitches with fat asses in NJPW or should i not bother since most nip girls look like young boys
Hello guys. I'm not looking at most of this thread because I'm curious to check this show out. I don't usually watch New Japan. How long was the show? I want to know that before I sit down to watch it.
>>16208730Quite long, without the preshow like a bit over 4 hours?Honestly you can skip everything until the 4th match if you want the meat of the show, it's just multi-mans and the millionth Tanahashi tag against HoT.
>>16208790Okay. Well maybe I'll hold off until tomorrow then. I like to watch Raw live and I won't have time to watch this show before then. I wish the NJPW app would have the runtime for the whole show listed on their app.
>confirmed for WTLNaito & HiromuTana & Jado>confirmed for WKZSJ/UminoNaito/HiromuFinlay/TsujiDOUKI/DesperadoTana/EVILJet Setters/TMDK/War Dogs/Catch 22>confirmed for WDZSJ/RicochetUmino/MoxOmega/Kidd>how are we feeling?
>>16208223NJPW doesn't have womeme matches. That's Stardom.
>>16207570qrd?
>>16209157Guessing TMDK wins WTL and gets a rematch at the dome. Plus add Narita/Cobb/Oiwa for the TV belt and that's 8 matches + Shingo's defense. Maybe that's against Sanada? Sometimes you can guess because they pair off factions to help with the precursor tag matches.
>>16209478they are having an intergender match soon.
>>16209157Not excited for Wrestle Kingdom and couldn't care less about the AEW show.
>>16209157mmm yummy gaijins

>>16210673>>16211618Ugg and Bonza would be far better than Fale
Boy, I can’t wait for Naito and Hiromu to lose to a bunch of undercard tag teams in the WTL and then have a match against one another. Even better that Hiromu has done nothing but lose all year!
>>16211853yet people want this to main event
basep
>>16213708because they’re the two biggest draws, DIPSHIT
shota should double down on the bosozoku gimmick. the deliquent fighting spirit youngun. desu when i saw him drive yesterday something just clicked.
