>>18983970Grim fucking company
>pin Oskar clean>submit Yuto>cap that off with another shitty HoT endingThere's shoot nothing handled well in New Japan. It's like they're contractually obligated to do every single thing wrong
So, Despe vs DOUKI match was really that bad or japanese on 5ch are being dramatic as per usual
>>18984017The match was really good. DOUKI as a heel works so much better than him having trying to be some underdog babyface with a look like that. The ending was horrible, though.
>>18984016>>pin Oskar cleanwhy can no one book fucking giants correctly? theres memphis guys on the booking team for fucks sake. lawler doesnt go over until kamala gets some heat. this is simple shit, togo
>>18984016>>18984058Fucking boomers kys. Or stop watching wrestling
>I let out all my raw emotions >A pro wrestler is strong >My debut match on February 14, 2021, ended with a referee stop. But this time, I tapped out by my own choice. >It’s lame for a loser to talk big, but my rebellious spirit makes me even more fired up. >Heat Storm, the debts to settle just keep piling up. But this is how I live as a pro wrestler. >#njpwhttps://x.com/YutoxIce/status/1975177013188235626
>>18984034Some retards really tried to say this geek was too good to team with shota. If anything those dorks are a perfect match
>>18984058It's even worse that they just came off beating transitional champs who do absolutely nothing but lose both before and during their reign, then the very first time you see them in singles they both get beaten on the exact same show Such is the fate of being IWGP Tag Team Champions. I can see why nobody on the roster has wanted to hold that shit for over a decade.
>grim!>it's grim!>dying company!>trannyhashi!>tonikhan!>grim grim grim!
>>18984058they have a Lesnar cope and look how they booked him
give the chick from Shampoo Champion who booked Generation Crash the book
Holy fuck are you faggots really that desperate for new wrestlers to obsess over that you want even more shitty booking. If you want new toys that win for a month and are then forgotten go watch aew and wwe
>>18984112yeah it's grim, puroresu is dying and is only filling bingo halls
>>18984132Looks like it's up over last year to meNJPW is growing
ELP more like HIV
>1,161人grim
DOUKIchads are so talented https://x.com/yakiniku_dash/status/1975065691209515236
>>18984024Douki got over organically through the years. The crowd really got behind him and he turned into a great face. Now he’s just another HOT lacky in a stable with 20 guys.
>At New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Korakuen Hall event on the 6th, Yuya Uemura (30) scored a decisive singles victory over IWGP Tag Champion Yuto-Ice (28). >Uemura, teaming with Shota Umino, is set to challenge Ice and OSKAR’s “Knockout Brothers (K.O.B.)” for the IWGP Tag Titles at Ryogoku on the 13th. Back in February 2021 at Korakuen, Uemura had faced Ice (then Yuto Nakajima) in his debut match, winning by referee stoppage after just 52 seconds due to Nakajima’s left elbow injury — a fateful connection between them. >From the outset, Uemura targeted the left arm. Though Ice escaped the armbar by eye-raking, Uemura continued his relentless assault on the limb. Dodging Ice’s charge, he fired off a lariat, locked in another armbar, and transitioned into a cross armlock. >When taunted with “Break it if you can,” Uemura released the hold himself. As Ice spat at him in defiance, Uemura exploded with a kan’nuki suplex. The outcome was clear, but Uemura finished things decisively with an arm lock, forcing a tapout victory. >Backstage after the match, Uemura said, “Yuto-Ice has finally left an impression on me as a wrestler. He’s not Nakajima anymore,” cutting ties with their shared past. >Ice had long blamed Uemura, saying his life was “derailed” from that debut match. Uemura retorted sharply: “If you really think I ruined your life, I’ll gladly ruin it again and again.” On this same night, Umino also picked up a singles win over OSKAR, leaving the challengers well-positioned for their title shot.https://x.com/okamotospo/status/1975193439471026243
what do we think of Kuukai
Tag guys losing in singles and winning in tag matches is G word booking tbhwy senpai
>>18984149Literally only up because of the 2nd Dome show that bombed
What the chances of Go Shiozaki or AXIZ appearing in NJPW?
>>18986429>AXIZniggas who havent seen Nakajima wrestle since he faced that NXT guy still starving to see him for some reason
Surely Callum Newman is fucking off to AEW if they literally have him benched for 2 (maybe 3) months straight, right? Wouldn't blame him either.
>>18984058It was a correct match, Oskar is nice but until the match I wasn't very implied in the match imself
>>18985093More interesting than the main event scene. HEAT vs ICE appears to be the first actual feud of the Reiwa Era.
KOB should've gone undefeated till WTL where a team like Yuya and Shota derail their run. Beating both of them this fast is retarded and helps nobody.
>>18989271finally some long term booking
>>18986429Hopefully none for both guys. If we wanted some completely beat up 2010s main eventer we'd beg Naito to come back. At least he's a draw
>Even after waking up in the morning, I'm still fucking pissed off, but I dragged you into that high world and you had a blast feeling the heat storm at its peak, right? >Spilling out raw emotions and competing like men is what pro wrestling is all about, right? >The audience gets that high you can only get from pro wrestling, right? >I'm gonna head to Ishikawa the day after tomorrow in a totally buzzed-out state, so get ready >Feel it!!! >LET'S GET HIGH!!!!!! BIG UP!!!!!!!https://x.com/YutoxIce/status/1975391083397009768
tanahashi should resign
goto
Hopefully someone on baked buys that Ishimori PPV I wanna see how retarded it gets
i though this shit started at 5:30 and now im watching murashima wrestle jun kasai
More people came to see Ishimori wrestle for 2 hours than a Despy main event lol
Naito's fall from grace should be documented
>>18992082to be fair the name he picked and the x players not announced made it interesting and you get public from other promotion so it's fair. but surprisingly i read a lot of japanese don't like despe that much, i thought he was more popular
>>18992082>house of torture main event*If it was despy vs titan or something it would've done fine but people are beyond sick of the uncertainty of getting a good match combined with the possible boring retarded finishes
Idk what's happening and Kasai is back
>>18992116and yone
both skewers spots failed kek
LEONA & Shota Umino are so alike in way I just can't explain with words.
>>18992138They're both yen repellants
>>18992138nepobaby?
Lol based dump
Making the young lions carry Dump to the ring is hilarious
Im glad Dump Matsumoto showed up to stop this from being boring
uncle jun
Theyre fucking up Ishimori's acores!
this is just a shitty indy battle royal now
>>18992180don't see the problem when the public likes it
YES
Sailorbros ww@
Ishimori literally died of cringe
SO WHAT
it's so funny that njpw can't use dick togo's theme
Dick Togo vs Despy would've sold out korakuen.
How nice of Ishimori to book this show so people could see Togo wrestle for real
>>18992212njpw is not brave enough to make togo wrestle outside a ppv kek
Ishikawa should be the booker
ishimori tag back in please these seconds are abd for you
>YOH and MAO just dont get pinned Yeah sure
>titan eliminated via mil mascaras spot
This dragon gate nigga is ripped
Ikemen is in this, watch
HOLY SHIT
thank you boltin for stopping that retard of mao and not destroying the bike
OIWA SEX
ANAL WITH OIWA
>>18992282He's not like that
>>18992284not with me, i'm not that kind of person
im glad ishimori didnt forget oiwa exists even though new japan did but why is this nigga doing chain wrestling
everyone just sitting around at ringside is lame as fuck
>>18992284what is he like?
DORAGON DIAAAAAAAAAA
Milano you rat!
>Dragon Block>90% Dragon Gate idk what I expected
hardcore shingo looks good
based they forgot to dub over his music
Based Hirata
Is that hirata?
...the secret is Tanahashi isn't it?
>>18992361worse
imagine being there, you had fun and it ends with gedo main event
>>18992370unironically nothing wrong with this little sentimental finish
>>18992378i get, the public is there to cheer for ishimori but gedo is gedo sentimental or not
kino ending
>>18992390Lynchian
He shouldve ended with Into The Light like DDT does (I love that song)
>>18992404don't think they have the rights for that lol
>後楽園 1,462人(札止め)
give Superhuman Taiji Ishimori the book
グリム
>>18992502New Japan Korakuen "sellouts" are so funny because they remain hardstuck at 1400+ but every other promotion that sells out get the full 1600
Ishimori already getting a sequel >Emergency Decision!>November 12th (Wed) 19:00~ Shinjuku FACE "The Leave presents Superhuman Taiji Ishimori Will Do One More Reckless Thing" Event Confirmed>Furthermore, Special Single Match @taiji_ishimori [VS] @Dragon_Kid_0202 Confirmed>Tickets on Sale Tomorrow!>#njpw #njpwworld #石森もっと無茶https://x.com/taiji_ishimori/status/1975574491695833462
>>18992923(札止め) translates as sold out but it doesn't actually mean 100% sold out, more like 90%. (超満員札止め) is what promotions use for a legit sellout
>>18992947Are they holding him at gunpoint to do these
these "wrestler produced show" are always the exact wankery thing.
>>18992384you're an annoying smark and you should shut the fuck up, "muh me don't like the book man :(" just stfu holy fucking shit
>>18992997AI has a chokehold on his life
>>18983970>Yuya Uemura vs Daiki NagaiThis is the game.
>>18992956Fair. It's just odd that they still limit their own seating capacity post-COVID when every other promotion that can fill Korakuen have already gone back
admiring and respecting Gedo
>>18995640I do only for that Jr title match with Devitt from like 2013
i think this means Goto is coming backhttps://x.com/510njpw/status/1975714823456629230
>>18996928Big Roy should pin Goto
>>18996928ok how you know?
Future IWGP Champion Konosuke Takeshita will be pinned by Brody King at AEW Wrestle Dream for a title shot
It doesn't seem like making Drilla Moloney vs SANADA a No DQ match is helping to boost those ticket sales
>>18998320This one for the sickos still watching Collision
>>18995640He had a generational booking run nobody has even come close to topping since. When time passes and he's not booking anymore he'll be looked back on more fondly .
ZANNEN DA
>>19000088Love these anitdraws like you wouldn't believe
>Everyone knows deep down >that we must let go of greed and ego >and help one another.https://x.com/REALgedoWD/status/1975780639426425259
>>19000764He wants Tanahashi to put over someone before he retires
>>19000764i dont get this twitter gimmick
>>19001401>chop chop chop>judo flip
>>19000939he's just a philosopher, it's not a gimmick
bomboclaat
>>19001401Is Wolf really getting the rub? Stop giving random ass new guys the rub. He'll be gone faster than all the MMA Tiger Masks. It should be Boltin.
>>19001401guess this fatty really is supposed to be a draw if they put him on these posters instead of any of the other grim dudes
>Boltin should be pushed more than olympic gold medalist with mainstream appealThe absolute state of this general
>>19002734>Boltin, the professional wrestler, who Tanahashi likes, shouldn't get the rub over some green as gooseshit flavor of the month le Reiwa Inoki who will be gone by this time next year.
>>19002734The push would had made sense if NJPW signed him up just after he won the medal not several years after it
Congratulations to Shota Umino for officially outdrawing All In Texas
>>19003280that'sh rightsh !
>>19002503he has mainstream appeal and Boltin doesn't. Boltin was just a Team New Japan wrestler and Wolf has a gold medal. I love Boltin but it's that simple.Plus Boltin fucking sucked for the longest time.
There's only one King of Pro-Wrestling in this household.
>>19003280>>19003293GO ASHE
7 hours till Yuya vs Daiki Nagai
Kota Ibushi might have 2 good working legs if we didn't force him to get the vax.
The word at WWE NXT last night was that WWE was looking at bringing in TJP to the Performance Center as a guest coach later this month.Gonna be awkward to see the Asswang and TJP at wwe
>>19006457*asswang and Jeff Mateo
>>19006457Cobbu could easily tell them "no this guy is weird" and WWE would back out on doing it but he probably won't. Even if he truly was a mopey dipshit he's still 100x more likable than Asswang
>>19006619You really think they're going to listen to Cobb about business decisions? It's not like there aren't other people who know TJP. He's been around forever.
>>19006895Aligned with the other coconuts? maybe, but it's more about someone just putting a bad word in on him
>>19003280Lmao oh no no no
today's show starts at 6am wtf
>>19002503Are the Japs smarky enough to dislike Wolf if he's pushed too hard?
>>19001401hard to feel anything for this dude considering he’s not having a single match before january
Worufu's debut will be him, Nagata & Goto vs House of Torture
>>19007656BOLTIN not Goto, sorry. Had something else in mind
no The Coolie no watch
I just noticed Daiki has his own VTR now
>>19006457a shitter that never drew as a coach. this industry is almost dead
That Yuto match turned Clark Kent player into Man of Steel Superman. Nice seeing Yuya be more ruthless in that
this feud sucks ass
what was all that about? is this tana’s hometown?
>>19007738hase is governor of ishikawa prefectureand i guess they're jerking each other off now
honma is looking extra washed tonight
>>19002987>green as gooseshit flavor of the month le Reiwa Inokithat was boltin when he started you stupid cunt
>>19007857They need to force him to retire. It's too much at this point
They got young lions doing angles nowhttps://x.com/njpw1972/status/1976243273183396110>Zayn: "(※Attacking Kato backstage) Look closely, you piece of trash! Zayn Jay ain't here to mess around! I'm here to win! If you don't keep that in mind... (※Stomping on Kato) you'll end up like this! Zayn Jay... BLESS!"
Gabe morphed into Shota Umino so fast he's now also doing 5 minute entrances walking around the crowd
>>19006457he'll probably do a decent job if they make him focus on in-ring stuff. just dont have him give any ideas for character development. unless shawn wants some kind of Evanescence character for nxt
>1,521人(満員)
>>19007883Surely another Young Lion Cup is coming then. We're overdue for one
Crazy that every white dweeb they bring looks worse than the former one.Hard downfall post Devitt.
