New Japan was always meant to be different and experimental because literally that's why it is called New Japan. But NOAH was meant to represent classical pro wrestling in the spirit of All Japan and Giant Baba. That’s why it’s hard to accept NOAH turning into a New Japan clone, with small guys being called heavyweights and heel stables.
>>16759004can you remind me who the 3rd ghc heavyweight champion was?
>>16759004New Japan copied All Japan and NOAHthat's exactly why it's dimeless right now, they focus on bangerinos rather than being shoot tough guys and mostly having 6 minutes singles matches
>>16759051"shoot tough guys and mostly having 6 minutes singles matches" is when new japan was objectively the most dimeless in its history btw
>>16759004>called "New Japan">not actually newgrim
>>16759066nah they were literally selling out multiple domes a year niggapeople love to talk about All Japan in the 90s and all the bangerinos they had but New Japan was doing way better without doing any of the lame bangerinos
>>16759131https://www.pwanalysis.com/entry/2018/06/27/123000facts don't care about your feelings, faggot
>>16759140it literally shows what I'm saying, retard. they were not doing the bangerino slop like All Japan in the 90s and they were by far more successful, yet people mainly talk about All Japan when they talk about puro in the 90s
>>16759171The 1990s are not the fake MMA era of NJPW you think you're talking about. The 1990s were a character era led by a fat samurai and a kayfabe demon
>>16759004That girl is poi san
>>16759187I'm not OP but Poi posting is always preferable to frog posting IMO
>>16759004Beautiful white woman
>>16759182nigga at the time they already were shoot tough guys and doing grappling stuff, doing things with the UWFi. not everyone was doing Great Muta bullshit. When I talk about tough guys I'm not talking about the 2000s MMA eraNJPW was always mainly a tough guy promotion until Inoki took it too far and became retarded enough to actually make his wrestlers fight MMA fighters in their prime, then the Trannyhashi era began and it changed everything.
>>16759211The "Trannyhashi" era was objectively very successful
>>16759211>UWFiAh yes the fed that popped a couple houses with a hot angle with the two guys I already mentioned and then promptly fucking died
>>16759225yes, because wrestling fans changed and all became sissy faggots who want to watch 50 minutes bangerinos so the wrestlers just give them their slop, but that's why puro can't draw a dime right now they all wrestle the same way and no one wants to try something new
>>16759238I'm sure booking exactly what you want will make the scene hot again
>>16759248they need to be a tough guy promotion againhave Oiwa shoot on Naito and knock him out cold
>>16759004Whatever happened to Old Japan
>>16759187he can read!
