Most soulful match I've seen in years.
>>16648740can't wait till gabe signs with the good guys and we can repeat this BANGER on Collission.
>>16648740get out of here. this shit went over 30 minutes
>>16648744Speaking my language uce
>>16648744Bait aside, the match only worked because it was in a New Japan ring. They can definitely redo the match with bigger moves and fancier sequences but they'll never recreate the emotion.
>>16648759i mean, if they wait 2 or so years until Gabe is a bigger deal and wait till the dome agianthey can recreate the emotion
>>16648759this, try this match again in US, you will see the pigtroon crowds either sleeping or checking their phones hows dax doing
>>16648771It's not so much about the American fans but the story of Gabe's entire journey from begging to enter the dojo and making his way up the card while dealing with his obvious mental issues and still being overlooked by management and a portion of the fans because he isn't New Japan enough. So he turned heel, you know, the typical gaijin-in-NJPW story—you think I'm not New Japan enough so fuck you all.Until this match. There's a reason why the fans popped for his ring gear and Cobra Twist, which was one of Inoki's signature moves. This match made the fans realise he's always been New Japan.
>>16648771Or worse, they'll be doing retarded meme chants
>>16648740I love this madman like you wouldn't believe
>>16648740When Kenny started playing up Heel tactics and Kidd locked on the Inoki special ngl I popped
>>16648740>Kenny getting booed, then winning the crowd over but still going full heel mode to tell them "Too late, faggots">Gabe fighting for his life to safe NJPW from Kenny>Kenny almost dying because of his old injuries>Kenny barely even able to perform moves>Kenny pulling off moves to disrespect the young lions and NJPW in general>Gabe seething more and more because of the disrespectkino
>>16648740Wait, he won using Inoki's finisher?
>>16649280Nah but it was his last big comeback. Right in front of Tana
>>16649280>>16649288Who japan living off nostalgia like wwe, you hate to see it
>have older established wrestler go over a young rising starisn’t this the kind of booking you guys shit on WWE for? In fact, why did most of the AEW talent go over?
>>16649337Because NJPW is AEW’s NXT
>>16648740Kenny fanboys are insufferable and deserve death.
>>16649319Imagine saying that when your cult's hottest angle of the week is this.
>>16649280no
>>16649280Try actually watching wrestling you dumb shit.
>>16648740I hope all aewtists watched this and saw what mat-oriented pro wrestling is supposed to actually be as opposed to your garbage slowmotion moveslopKenny's still the best, Gabe's the best English pro wrestler on the planet, aewtists should kill themselves
Gabe Kidd fucked around and became NJPW's top babyface in a single nightAbsolute kino of the highest order, capped off by Tanahashi being moved to tears by his noble defense of the NJPW company.Gabe Kidd's love of purowresu was tangible in the arena and he made a lot of new fans.
>>16648740Kenny was in fantastic shape and can still deliver a world-class performance after years of getting sawdusted and almost dying. Gabe looked like a beast and made a believe out of me. He's athletic and has this fusion of bruiser, power style with great mat wrestling. And they told a story that AEW could never. Loved it. MOTY so far.
>>16648740Match of the 2020sDeath to will ospreay
>>16648771this post reminds me, do jap crowds really not go on their phones that much compared to american crowds? at any aew or wwe show it's a sea of people holding their phones up for instagram
>>16648761He's a flabby chav midget doing great value Connor McGregor gimmick. He isn't going to get any bigger.
is gabe a shoot schizo or just a worked one
>>16651121he shoot had a break and went to hospital but in wrestling it's a work
>>16648740
>>16651121>>16651143Yea it was a shoot but he worked it into his character
Will NJPW capitalize on this or will the main event scene be EVIL, Sanada, Tanahashi being wheeled to the ring and Shota getting no reaction until the end of time?
>>16649362this
>>16648740I didn't know Gabe but he is based. gotta give it to him and to Kenny for wanting to come back in Japan to give back to the company, and being in such good shape. Even if he won, it elevated Gabe. This is the type of match that Okada was unable to give, nor Osprey or White when they were given so much by the company.Now the question is, when do they give they big one to Gabe? I guess soon, then the problem is that big money mark will come with his check to try to poach him. So it is time to build a rivalry between Gabe and a japanese talent. Yuya? Oiwa? Tsuji is worse every day since he came back. Umino needs a gimmick and Narita is gone.
>>16651894Naito will also continue being wheeled to the ring
>>16651894They will Push Finlay and Naito
>>16649362but enough about the bloodline stans
>>16649211Absolute revisionism. Didnt tou watch the G1 when he got cheered over Shota? When he got cheered over Takagi? He's been over with the fans, bitch ass nigga.
>>16653746Yes I've watched him getting his share of the cheers during the G1 but I like my variation of the story more so I'm going with that as my headcanon lol.
>>16650711japs are stumbling through their second strong zero and don't possess the motor skills to work a phone
>>16648740How many stars?
>>16655323so you don’t know
>>16650538gay ass post. have sex
