wwe is not wrestling
>>16760556this short chinaman's reign literally almost killed the company btw
>>16760569wrong
real wrestling is when you sawdust yourself for low pay and polite applause in the half empty tokyo dome
>>16760582You complain when they're paid like shit in NJPW, and you complain when they go to AEW and get paid well. You're just a bitch.
>>16760569blaming any wrestler for bad business during the covid era is stupid
>>16760556many have said this
>>16760583>>16760556Shingo Takagi is absolute dimes and it’s criminal he didn’t win the G1
>>16760591sure, I do everything that conveniently suits your view of a random poster on the internet
>“I came to the realization that what we were doing in WWE was no longer pro wrestling, instead, what most of WWE had become was actually a parody of wrestling.”dragon don't miss
>>16760582That's every geeks dream brother. Now you know why WWE is leaning into the NIL and college athletes as opposed to marks from wrestling schools
>>16760594
based
>>16760556Wrestling is more than moves in the ring. ya mark
>>16761309you dont see people standing around fighting for a necklace?
>>16760594watching early-10s NJPW cured me of being an e-drone.
>>16761319Stop being disingenuous Anon.It was a friendship bracelet made by a little girl. You know, that real h4rdc0r3 shit.
>>16760569Not at all. They fucked up the booking with that retarded double world title booking at WK16.Ospreay who was injured by Shingo spends over half a year shitting on Shingo and calling him out as a false Champion. Rather then fucking have them face off to decide everything on Night 1 and face the G1 winner, Okada on Night 2, they blow by that entirely to go straight to Takagi/Okada on Night 1.Okada who has been calling the new world championship shit and gay since it's creation and presenting the former IWGP hebbyq as the true Hebbyq belt fights Shingo, on night 1, old belt in hand and wins.After establishing his truth that the title and it's holders are shit with his win, He then celebrates with the New Championship that he has been calling shitty and trying to replace for months only making the title look even more shittier than it ever was before. He then faces Ospreay on night two and provides more of the status quo and wins the title Ospreay had been propping up and building for that last half year fully demonstrating that the title has always been shit.Ospreay/Takagi needed to be night one to settle that feud and push up the new belt as relevant.Night 2 should've fought the G1 winner, Okada for belt vs belt and if they aren't changing the belt back, Ospreay or Takagi had to WIN night 2 to validate the new title.In turn Ospreay was ruined.UE was ruined.Takagi was ruined.The new belt came out even more ruined.All just so Gedo could leave the fans with mindless OKADAWINSLOL.It was fucking dumb. On a night multiple people and entities could have been made, nothing was. The entire Wrestle Kingdom main event scene was an absolute mess. They went with the safest most boring option and now fans were left with little reason to invest in anyone else.
>>16762157And how did Okada repay Gedo and New Japan for this (alongside years of this bullshit)? He fucked off to AEW on a whim, refusing to put over a single person before he left
>>16760776Lmao even red shoes is like why tf did you do that
>>16762157>and wins the title Ospreay had been propping up and building for that last half yearOspreay had the title for literally two months, did you mean Shingo
The talent that made 2010's NJPW is all sawdusted to shreds or left, including the exciting juniors. The shows now are also full of gaijin bongland bingo hall shitters that all wrestle the exact same style and only a few marks here seem to like, if you've seen one of their matches you've seen them all.Oh and the current crop of young lions? I saw them on a trios match against boomers and one of them literally looks like an overgrown toddler with the face of a depressed salaryman, I sure can't wait to see him trade elbows when he bleaches his hair.
>>16763700Can’t blame him.That thud was sickening liveI can’t imagine what that shit sounded like at ground zero
>>16760556Tell me how adult sized men wrestling on TV and Netflix drawing millions of viewers isn't wrestling but a bunch of 5'2 gooks running around the ring for no reason in some shitty toyota arena is supposedly the best thing ever?You gookshit enjoyers might be even worse than AEW trannies.
>>16764380The same way a soap opera on a streaming service is not wrestling
>>16760569sadly Goto never got to hold the title
>>16760583This match is maybe the goat match tbqh desu
>>16762157I appreciate you typing all of this out, but I'm not reading any of it
>>16763782He wasn’t the official champion but was holding up his own replica as the “real” world champion. He was constantly cutting promos as “champion” and propping the title up and defending his belt with it’s own defense streak (that he would highlight in his wrestle kingdom entrance.)The entire time both Shingo and Ospreay were building the new title.Okada was shitting on the new title entire time while propping up the old belt and WON while holding up the new belt where any relevance or prestige it could have, he killed.
>>16760776is this the one that has the absolutely sickening crunch to it?
>>16760776I love shibby so much.This is wrestling.This is what a wrestler is.They should want to live breathe and die for their craft.Fuck all talent who simply have one foot out the door to Hollywood and just views gods greatest sport as a stepping stone.We will probably never experience a moment this kino in our lifetimes ever again.
>>16764524Absolutely.Dude is a wrestler with.
>>16764530*with passionnb
The jewish powers are stronger than ever in wrestling right now, bros. We have to stay strong.
>>16760556>anything not WWE is not wrestlingfixed it for you faggot
>>16764543Why did you post two actors in a wrestling thread?
>>16760776Kino.
>>16764537Too late.Japanese Male promotion are now being forced to incorporate females.It’s over. AI is the future.
>>16764537As fucked up as it is, the alliance of AEW/NJPW/CMLL is really the only thing that is saving us from complete utter globohomoization of the industry right now.
>>16764549The thought of Cody becoming an actor is hilarious.>Has to spend years with vocal coaches to remove his gay lisp>Spends extra hours in makeup every single day to cover up his cringe neck tattoo>Will still only be in straight to streaming releases
>>16764702>remove his lispHe didn't remove his lisp
>>16764380you're racist
>>16764543wwe is not wrestling
