Yeah shitters like Ospreay, Hangman, Darby or Fletcher, the horror!

>>19249112
the big angle will be a AEW angle I bet, a main event tag with Okada and Takeshita and one turns on the other

>>19249170
I’d take Darby and Hangman if he was never allowed to speak. I don’t want the bangarino merchants back.

Is the Ishimori PPV a 1-match show? Who the fuck is paying 20 dolalrs for that?

>>19249259
ive paid 20 bucks for worse entertainment prospects than ishimori and dragon kid

>>19249240
Darby would honestly be a solid junior and would get over with the fujos fast. NJPW would love him just for that.

>>19249275
Are they wrestling for 2 hours? I'll watch the if so

>>19249284
i could also see the allied mastercomputer that books the show torture ishimori with random stipulations like having to pin dragon kid 9 times or something. these ishimori shows are weird as hell

>>19249223
That's what Tanahashi deserves after being so cocky, why was his first choice for his retirement match a WWE (yuck) wrestler? They should embarass Nu Japan even more if you ask me

Gedo is the true president of NJPW, it was revealed to me in a dream.

Tony Khan is the king of New Japan, Rocky Romero is his colonial governor, Hiroshi Tanahashi is the local tribal leader allowed to keep his ceremonial title in return for swearing fealty

Former Raging King Naoya Ogawa says, "If it were me, I'd go and beat up Wolf." His true intentions and expectations
https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/366316

>Naoya Ogawa (57), a former professional wrestler and silver medalist in judo at the Barcelona Olympics, recently updated his YouTube channel, "Naoya Ogawa's Bousouou Channel." He mentioned Wolf Aaron, a gold medalist in the 100kg judo category at the Tokyo Olympics, who will be making his debut at the New Japan Pro-Wrestling Tokyo Dome event on January 4th next year.

>In Wolf's much-anticipated debut, he will clash with EVIL of the villainous group "House of Torture (H.O.T.)." He has already been engaged in a brawl with H.O.T. in the ring, which has been garnering a lot of attention. Ogawa, who saw the video, commented, "There's something amazing about his appearance. The image he had as a judo player has completely faded. I don't know if that was the intention, though. The most important thing is for people who leave judo to succeed in the (next) world."

>He then pointed out, "In my experience, it's quite difficult to throw in the ring while wearing shoes. It's different whether the shoes are thick-soled or the thin-soled shoes used in wrestling. In judo, being barefoot is different to being in shoes," and said, "I think Wolf would be able to adapt quickly."

>The former King of Runaways continued by giving this advice to the gold medalist: "It all comes down to the microphone, after all. It's about what you say to people and whether you can empathize with them or not. Whether you can fully transform into them or not. Wouldn't Wolf be better off as a heel? He has the aura of a heel."

>>19256248
>Furthermore, Ogawa said in the video, "If it were me, I'd go and beat up Wolf." What on earth does this mean? When we asked the former Raging King what he really meant in an interview, he said something terrifying: "Wolf is a gold medalist and already has a clean image. Everyone knows he's strong. So, the chance is before his debut. If I were EVIL, I'd thoroughly torture him and make him bleed. That would be more fun, wouldn't it?"

>It's true that the Raging King repeatedly got into fights and intruded into matches, and even his rival, the King of Destruction, Shinya Hashimoto, was plunged into a pool of blood both inside and outside the ring. Of course, during his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling, he followed the instructions of his master, the late Antonio Inoki, to "go wild," and most of the time he was "producing" a burning fighting spirit.

>That's why he says, "The Dodgers (MLB) signed Ohtani and became the best team in the world. New Japan has also been fortunate enough to sign a talented player like Wolf, so I hope they develop him to the point where he becomes the 'Ohtani of the pro wrestling world.' They have to make him the 'face of New Japan.' I hope they can bring out a new side of Wolf and help him become a great success."

>Finally, he expressed his expectations for Wolf, saying, "I'm also looking forward to the January 4th Dome. I hope he does his best." With less than two months left until his debut match, the former King of Runaways is also keeping a keen eye on him.

>>19256248
>Wouldn't Wolf be better off as a heel? He has the aura of a heel.
Humble Wolf to HoT confirmed

wolf has the aura of a fat twitch streamer (grim)

wolf has the aura of someone who's good at tekken but good enough to beat a korean or paki

Nigga it was never about tickets, it's about what Tanahashi wanted and deserved and politics ruining it.

And no I don't care about thread schizos or drama I'm just posting the truth.

>>19258152
Two days ago selling out the Tokyo Dome was bad no matter what because they didn't have "anything set up for after". It didn't matter what the match was to you.

Now, you are misinterpreting a joshipedo's report (peps, lol) so that you can blame AEW and say well everything would've been fine if it was Nakamura!

If Gabe hadn't fucked his arm who knows. Though ultimately I think they wanted to give Naito his flowers at the Dome and I kinda struggle to see him being anything more than a transition champ in the future anyways. Funnily enough the new broken down SANADA has tapped into some charisma that probably would have helped him remain at the top if he had his health.

This is by far my favorite version of Sanada and it is only because I think his entrances are funny.

>>19258814

kek why am i not surprised. damn dog eating koreans lol.

>>19258784
I don't know, maybe move out of the way or something? hell, he could have took a big vacuum cleaner hose and sucked the mist up like that instead of doing that gay DDT-type shit that he did.

>>19264441
I don't think Okada was particularly generous with putting people over but it's also hard to say how much of that was Okada's fault and how much of it was Gedo's for not booking Okada to do more with the younger guys.

>>19264576
when Okada left I'm pretty sure it was just Shota and Tsuji and they hadn't been back long and neither was anywhere close to main event ready, nor was okada in a position to really put them over in a big way. He had no singles titles to lose to them, he had been a tag guy for a year straight. If he had put them over while being booked in such a midcard way, it would be a lot less impactful than if he did it as IWGP champ for example.

Okada actually has a lot of history and gave Uemura his big excursion send off so I genuinely believe they will have a big feud when Okada comes back to Japan and he will put over Uemura

Tanahashi selling out the Dome is unfair because it's going to inflate New Japan's yearly attendance

Tony Khan is the one selling out the Dome since they're his toys actually

Member when the 30k for Muto's retirement was added to NOAH's yearly attendance numbers and NJPW still quadrupled their amount?

If this general isn't bitching about Tony then it's bitching about NOAH

>>19265319
my favorite is when the schizo posts RIZIN and other sports selling out the Tokyo Dome and says that NJPW can never sell it out ever again

Superhuman Taiji Ishimori Does a Ridiculous Amount of Coke and Fights All Comers For Two Hours

It is entirely Sanada's fault for being a charisma vacuum. It shows that you need more than a dimes look and decent wrestling ability. Naito tried his best to get anything out of that shitter in their fued and Sanada proved he wasn't ever going to be top guy material. He is where he belongs a fun midcarder. That being said I never expected him to be Evil's Jannetty back when they were the tag guys.

The most dimes possible Wrestle Kingdom ending:
>Tsuji and Takeshita go on last
>Tsuji wins and vows to merge the belt lineage into the old one
>Naito comes out and challenges Tsuji (to put him over and unaffiliated becomes its own thing)

Enough time has passed.
We're all in agreement that Insider-kun was Jeff Cobb the whole time, right?

>Nishitan Clinic President Nishimura gives Wolf Aaron words of gold:
>“After training comes the thing that truly emerges.”

>Charismatic president Nishimura delivers a fiery message!
>A surprise sit-down took place between Seiji Nishimura (55), president of Excom Global — which operates the *Nishitan Clinic* brand — and Wolf Aaron (29), Tokyo 2021 Olympic judo 100kg gold medalist, who will make his pro-wrestling debut at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s January 4 Tokyo Dome show.
>To Wolf, now aiming for “a second success” as a pro wrestler, Nishimura offered important guidance.

>―― After the June NJPW entry press conference, how has training as a wrestler gone?

>Wolf:
>Until I retired from judo in June, I had already been allowed to train at the NJPW Dojo a bit. Since July 1, after the entry announcement, I’ve been training every day.

>Nishimura:
>Do you also do weight training?

>Wolf:
>Yes. Training starts at 10 AM and goes until a little after 1 PM.
>The first hour and a half or so is weight training and basic conditioning — squats and similar foundational work.

>Nishimura:
>I’ve always imagined pro-wrestling training to be extremely tough.

>Wolf:
>It is. I also have some lingering knee issues from judo. I train while being careful not to aggravate them.

>Nishimura:
>Were you originally a big wrestling fan?

>Wolf:
>I watched a lot when I was in university and really liked it.

>Nishimura:
>Is the “strength” required of a judoka different from the “strength” needed in pro wrestling?

>Wolf:
>Very different. In judo, matches are 4 minutes plus golden score.
>In wrestling, long matches can exceed 30 minutes.
>You need a body that can last over 30 minutes.
>The foundational work I’m doing now is for building that kind of stamina.

>Nishimura:
>Conversely, does anything from judo carry over well?

>Wolf:
>I had built good thickness in my body from judo, so when doing rope-running drills, my back didn’t get hurt as much.

>>19266659
>Nishimura:
>Are the breakfalls in judo and wrestling different?

>Wolf:
>Very different. I thought they would be more similar, but only the forward roll breakfall is the same.
>In wrestling, you *slam your own back down* for the bump — in judo, you never intentionally slam your own back.
>It feels like “accepting defeat,” so at first I had some resistance.
>Unconsciously, I found that scary at the beginning.

>―― What kind of pro wrestler do you hope to become?

>Wolf:
>Of course I want to showcase technique, but more than anything, I want to convey my intensity — the strength I’ve built up until now.

>Nishimura:
>Wolf-san has real presence — that’s huge.
>That’s why, for 1/4, everyone (me included) is excited to see “how much he can do.”

>―― What would you like to tell Wolf as he pursues a *second* success in life?

>Nishimura:
>Whether you’re a businessman like me or someone successful in any field, the ability to endure — and to stack daily efforts — is essential.
>As a CEO, I think success is a combination of many factors, but my biggest strength has always been patience.
>In judo, pushing through tough moments teaches you how to hold firm.
>In sumo terms, it’s like being strong at the edge of the dohyo.
>In wrestling, there will be similar moments.
>And after consistent training… something emerges.

>Wolf:
>Daily accumulation becomes confidence.

>Nishimura:
>Wrestling fans, myself included, are really looking forward to 1/4.
>Your presence is excellent — I expect that once you debut, you’ll gain an incredible fanbase.
>You’ll be a star who makes kids love wrestling even more.

>Wolf:
>Thank you. I’ll do my best!

The real insider literally leaked Tanahashi's 10 point plan right before it was announced. So I dont think that was just a lucky guess.

BOSJ lineups were leaked in here. SANADA in War Dogs was leaked in here. Nobu in HoT was leaked in here. That's a lot of luck right there.

Jesus fucking Christ you are so goddamn dumb you probably can't even sign your own name on a piece of paper.

>>19271612
like other said in the past probably because the way he left he was forced to sign some stuff so he won't show up in other promotions in japan

Insider-kun here. Naito is a known troublemaker backstage and is broadly disliked both inside the company locker room and outside of it in the Japanese indies. One day I expect a lot of gaijins will start shooting hard on Naito's backstage antics once the potential chance of Japanese paydays fade.

This is such a retarded line because there is nothing stopping Tanahashi from wrestling Nakamura one more time. They even have a history of doing crossover shows around New Year's

>>19275128
I don't have a problem with that, but the issue is they needed to make someone quickly because of how many people left. Now they have another great opportunity to have Tsuji vanquish the outsider. They need to take it and give guys like Uemura and Umino someone to properly chase because they have real stories there. I think spinning the wheels with Takeshita would be bad long term. He is not the Okada they want him to be and will never be unless he signs. Dragging out Tsuji's story even as far as potentially next Wrestle Kingdom feels like the incorrect play.

>>19275222
biggest dome show in 20+ years faggotron

>>19275228
I agree that one of the new guys vanquishing the outside is the story they need to go with.

But Takeshita just won. He does not have enough defenses to be seen as an actual obstacle and a gatekeeper.
If you want this to be the story, they need to build the pressure and that means Takeshita needs to win for a while.
If they put Tsuji over in the Dome, it will completely destroy that story and it will be short-term reactionary booking.

Then again, they haven't built Takeshita well as a gatekeeper either. Their booking for him is all over the place. He should've been a hardline heel from the start.

>>19275128
>njpw is doing the same long-term storytelling it has always done
That's part of the problem. There's no better way to have your new generation be rendered mediocre than to do the same old shit with them that the last generation did. The wrestlers are at least smart to do their own thing and not center their in-ring style around sawdusting, but the booking is shitty and sloppy. Would you unironically say their booking right now is any good, yes or no?

>you guys just want the new guys to be rushed along which would destroy a lot of the allure that draws people to njpw in the first place
This argument doesn't fucking work when there's 0 star power outside of 2 Jrs which they've neutered (1 does more exciting shit in NOAH, the other couldn't get a major show title defense all year so less people cared), the allure of the promotion was already destroyed when half a dozen guys left in 2 years, and somehow there's about 20 belts and most of the new guys can barely win the lowest tier of them. All these fucking guys and the strongest most consistent pushes since 2023 have gone to David Finlay who's leaving at any moment, an anti-draw heel group and an anti-draw AEW guy. They had Gabe but they fucked him up by allowing that Death Rider bullshit to ruin him. Tsuji but the impact he had when he first returned died in less than a year. Fujita and Wato are just pin-eating choke artists, Despy has to fucking make Fujita's case to be in that stupid 4-way FOR HIM. KOB have belts from a division the office stopped caring about over a decade ago and do nothing but job in singles.

>>19275246
the fact that you're complaining about the KOB being titled up in their first year back from excursion tells me you a) don't know shit about how NJPW has ALWAYS booked young guys in their first few years back or b) are just being willfully dishonest because you're a miserable cunt

Either way this discussion is over

>>19275257
Maybe that was too many words for you so you avoided the question. I'll ask again

Would you unironically say their booking right now is any good, yes or no?

>>19275264
>Would you unironically say their booking right now is any good, yes or no?
I don't judge songs by their intros. That's a dumb way to judge a storyline, something which unfolds over time.

I'll let you know how I feel about each young guy's booking once they've been back 5 years from excursion.

>>19275240
To make the case that Takeshita is already being presented as an unbeatable force they did call him "the greatest never champion ever" because of the defense record and also the "forever champion". But yeah technically in that space he has not been established. But they really need to start leaning hard into heel Takeshita if they are going to drag it out and not be so wishy-washy.

>>19271612
If Naito doesn't pull a surprise appearance in NJPW, NOAH, or AJPW late December or early January I think Naito's basically done outside of wrestling random indies.

>>19275293
If he retains, it should be as a hard heel. He should deck Red Shoes or something.

>>19275276
Hilarious but unsurprising copout. It's been ages since they've had more than about 6 months of a good booking streak before they did something retarded and ruined all the built up goodwill. They went 4 months this year after Goto won the title and ruined it in 2 weeks starting at fucking Dominion, but somehow it's hard to judge years of bad booking right now.

>I'll let you know how I feel about each young guy's booking once they've been back 5 years from excursion.
O-Khan and Wato. Stop being a bitch and give a real answer.

Let's be real what Japanese homegrown star have they made since Naito and Okada. Its been over a decade.

>>19275318
Both O-Khan and Wato are responsible for picking two of the most terrible gimmicks for themselves I've ever seen in pro wrestling. Wato should've gotten the Tiger Mask, would've helped him immensely to be that for a few years.

There is no salvaging O-Khan because he's simply not that good. He will never have the in-ring goods to be a top guy, so he'll be Mr. Gimmick KOPW forever.
I think they did everything they could for both guys given their respective talent levels (neither were going to be top guys).

If a guy is good enough at 20 it should be working near the top of the card.
The "process" is not a math formula, is different for every individual.

The important thing is what you bring to the company, and there is a lot of dead weight.

Booking being "long-term" doesn't mean fuckall. If its boring and sloppy, its boring and sloppy. It doesn't matter where the boring and sloppy shit is heading, if the road their is shit, people dont care. That's why Japanese fans continue to fall off the wagon and call out how boring it is. WWE is literally having the same problem but they at least have some fucking stars. "It gets good after episode 300" is a pathetic excuse for 1-299 having little to offer or get into

this is 100% rocky or someone running defense right now

How much of that is from their active booking any storylines? Tell me.

The losing streak was a gimmick itself, if he would have won sooner, nothing changes.

>>19275372
Doesn't change the fact that there'll be more eyes on NJPW than in the last 20 years which is way more exposure than they'd get with two of them main eventing against each other. It's a huge opportunity.

100%, it's the culmination of Tanahashi's career booking. The last page of Tanahashi's novel.

You plebs want comic books but Gedo is fucking Dostoevsky. Pearls before swine.

>>19275384
If Gedo's the Dostoevsky where's the prostitutes with a heart of gold?

While I kind of agree that Takeshita hasn't been built up enough, having him beat Tsuji at WK would be the death nail for the company. Its the biggest show ever and they need to use it to make a new NJPW guy, not establish an outsider for someone to beat later. In an ideal world, Takeshita would have beaten Goto, instead of ZSJ and Tsuji would have won the G1

>popping one good house off an old man who's retiring means every stupid mistake they can make heading into a year without said old man is gonna score for them
You sound like an AEW tranny touting Wembley while they're doing TV in rec centers and Taco Bells

I didn't think it would get any sadder with you lol

That's Jado

This isn't in another country, this is the Tokyo Dome you retard. NJPW runs shows in Tokyo more than anywhere else. It's not some gimmick show in another country, much as you want to seethe about it.
>>19275396
What the fuck else would you call it, dipshit?

>This isn't in another country, this is the Tokyo Dome you retard
That literally changes nothing about what I said

we're better off with grimposting. at least that's close to reality

>>19275384
>It's a huge opportunity.
I bet NOAH said the same thing too when they outdraw that year's WK before floundering it all by still being the same mediocre NOAH it already was. Surely it'll be different this time!

>>19275366
One Piece is actually good and engaging from the jump. New Japan in 2025 isn't and it shows.

If you think NJPW is so bad, the booking is shit, it's grim, and it's over, etc, why are you posting here?

Why do you watch? If the company is going to plummet after the Dome show, why watch it at all?
If you don't believe any of the new guys can be stars, you have no reason to stick around.
If this is who you are, you are not a NJPW fan, your opinion on NJPW is meaningless, and you should not be spending time and energy posting about it.

Just go watch something else.
I do not understand anti-fan autism.

NJPW is having some turbulence but it's far from the worst situation the company has ever been in. Heck NOAH and AJPW have experienced far worse and both of them are bouncing back and doing some good stuff right now.

>>19275518
At least is a conversation, instead of AEWWE trolling and rape posts

New Japan had a few great moments this year, but it was mostly bogged down by terrible booking especially from Dominion onward. Goto's run was great, but it had no real meaningful payoff. Hopefully he doesn't instantly return to the midcard. Gabe vs. Tsuji was special, but it was squandered by Gabe's flightiness. I do find it funny that people initially tried to claim that, that one in particular was do to poor booking. It was one of the few instances outside of their control.

What's up with TJP is he going back to WWE. Looks like it's the end of his CMLL run.

>>19275915
NXT as trainer or something like that

>>19275915
His last match with njpw was june. I think he's fired

>>19275925
I know I remember he choose not to renew his contract with them, but they had him as the Strong tag team champ. Despite what people think, it is NJPW affiliated. I just though he was full time with CMLL like Flip.

>>19275915
>>19275988
He was working GLEAT which means, basically, it's over

that's what happens when somebody gets injured
