>>19304471Please come back, GOAT. We could use the attendance boost next year
>>19304471Insider here: at tomorrow’s show Tanahashi will announce that the following sections of the Tokyo Dome will be put on sale November 30: Outfield, Arena B, Arena C. Further consultation is taking place about DAZN Excite seats and Standing Room only tickets. The current ticket count is 39,189
WE LOVE YOU KING
>>19304494Excite seats are the brown sections, no?
>>19304538The original seating chart for comparison
>>19304112>Western twitter/podcast/reddit sphere blames House of Torture for everything that New Japan is struggling with>Constantly try to advocate for breaking up the House and killing the push of any of the guys in the stable>HoT draw a full Korakuen house of pimps, SHOvaunists, the whole works, complete with red glow sticks and passionate crowd engagement with a (mostly joke) cardHouse of Torture are giga dimes and it is your civic duty to mock anybody who tries to complain about them.
grim
>>19304585tbf, Suzukigun also filled Korakuen with self-produced shows while they were killing NOAH
>>19304471
>>19304471>>19304654there’s no way that’s the same dog
>>19304608That was a reflection on NOAH, not Suzukigun.t. unashamed Suzukigun mark
don't dare to mess with Fantasticamania
Thank you very much to HOT fans who booed him and he was laughing at that Anyway, it was a very good show, lost a bit of points at the ending but whatever
>>19304753nigga needs to ditch the pants
>>19304812tWOAH his is a blue board anon
I really wish the bullshit from Dominion to G1 didn't happen at all because EVIL/HOT were having their best year as a heel group to date
>>19304878he’s right, ueno needs to take his pants off RIGHT NOW
We love you Yujiro ojisan
>>19305082That Iyo throat go crazy fr
>>19305305at this point wonder if oiwa fuckers are also into ueno or not
>>19305545i dunno about other oiwa fuckers but i would fuck 1/3 of the ddt roster
>>19305819Bit gay
>>19305819As one of the Oiwa fuckers, I still have this saved on my desktop.Seems like Kasei involvement with NJPW, saying that he wants to fight Tana, is something both DDT and NJPW agreed to push. I don't mind the guy, he is decent even if he's even less than a part-timer, but they are moving too quickly with him but I understand why they are doing it.
buttfucking oiwa and telling him gedo doesn't know shit but don't worry i know how good you are oiwa-kun that's why i'm buttfucking you in the arse oooh ohoo ohhh ohhhhhh *cums*
>>19306308Murashima has a 10 CHA stat.
>>19304585There's always a bit of a disconnect between what the domestic audience likes in puro and what the western audience likes. It isn't just NJPW.
>>19304585I just dont understand how you can't find EVIL entertaining. Or current SANADA for that matter either
>>19306455he doesn't have bangerinos, that's it
>>19305545Hes got great hair but he's too twinky for me
I've heard rumors that Yujiro got more cheers than the supposed most popular wrestler in Japan, is this true?
Ryohei Oiwa "Kiss My Ass Club" when? Do it Gedo, you fucker
>>19304585Wow they filled Korakuen hall with a massive crossover show, what an accomplishment
>>19304585Saya and Shun Slywalker are the draws
>>19306805>I've heard rumors that Yujiro got more cheers than the supposed most popular wrestler in Japan, is this true?After Tanahashi sold out the Dome, he has taken that crown from Naito again.Naito will need to outdraw Tanahashi's retirement to be the most popular wrestler in Japan again.And that's assuming the Humble Wolf doesn't become a Hashimoto level megastar instantaneously.
God damn I love Milano
>>19307071When the show was first announced I remember you saying that they wouldn't draw a thousy :^)
>>19306166>>19306783the local oiwa fuckers are a fascinating breed>>19307122i’ll always be sad that he retired when he did, would loved to see him go against zack
>>19304471>>19304654Dimes
Who is HOOOOOOOOOOOYPE for WTL tonight!?
>>19309701I kinda am
>>19309701he is
World Smug League
>>19309828Forgot he was teaming with mr hot/cold himself Finlay. Wins the NJC, reaches a new high, loses in his shot. Starts a war with HoT, "wins" but gets JUSTed. Losing streak in G1, then beats some key guys but goes nowhere. He then spent time being the #2 guy in his own faction and is now teaming with Hiromu. In a limbo period for the company he might be the most in limbo guy.
world tag grim
>>19309864i hope he and his dad have a great time in orlando when he's finally set free

>>19306783i'd call him anything, even a manlet, but not a twink kekanyway, how we feeling about world tag league
>>19310536I cared about two teams until Ishii got injured so it's just MD4R (forma de KOB). I guess Despy and the CTE king might put on some spectacles. I want to care more about Oiwa and Uemura but the bookers have to give me reason, doesn't help that Oiwa is defacto pin eater for his team and Uemura could be as well.
just tuned in wtf is happening here to YOH
>>19310568He made a plea to defend the NEVER 6 Man belts at WK
MOOOOOONSTER SAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUCE
>>19310566I like the Oiwa&ZSJ combination because ZSJ usually get paired with Fujita but sadly I can only see Oiwa as the pin eater, so I feel exactly like you.
>>19304494YOU DID IT AGAIN, GOAT
Cant believe this dweeb is doing A2M with AZM
MY BOY please don't cut your hair anymore
I like obnoxious faggot Newman it fits him

despy with the lady c special
>>19310735I'm assuming they are doing that NJPW USA show, but it's weird nobody except RevPro booked them.
Step on me please
>>19310762calm down despy
That double stomps looks like it could kill you. No airtime at all but thats what makes it look so deadly
>>19310750174cm x 80kg (sorry im eurofag), mao is 180cm btw he's not the shortest guy but quite average for a japanese man lol in comparison to another wrestler, hiromu is shorter than ueno of few cm
>could've been getting ready for ishii/shujidisgusting timeline
>>19310763they are tag partners, he can't step on him
late 2000s-early 2010s New Japan themes are so funny
This Chase music is definitely AI generated
we should all PURGE Chase Owens
i'm having a déjà vu
3/4 of this match knows what Pieter's asshole feels like

here we go again lol
Kino finish
I just can't hate House of Torture.

Dangerousdogbros I'm still sad

>>19310872It becomes a shoot drilla and then you get charges pressed against you
>>19310867
A bit too swlf indulgence but still a greta match. Excited to see Shingo and Ishikawa in the ring together.

How do we get this guy to leave?
>>19310929sho and only sho
Man did Drilla get over
YOH just letting out grievances now

>>19310962Cody did that one time and now he's world champion
>>19310962Can they coexist?!?
pretty grim seats ngl
>>19304471I checked out a few months ago, are the War Dogs still a thing?Why is Shingo teaming with Drilla, Yota with Gabe and Hiromu with Finlay? Wtf happened?
>>19311516They fought it out after the G1 then decided to form an alliance. Hiromu teamed with Gedo and Connors teamed with Nagai in Super Jr Tag League

I've just finished Purge Night and now demand that HOT invade Stardom for their next purge night
>>19312085you are being vague, there are several sexy guys
>>19312261presumably kaisei takechi>Hiroshi Tanahashi (49) of New Japan Pro-Wrestling gave the green light on the 20th for DDT’s Kaisei Takechi (27) to participate in next year’s January 4 Tokyo Dome event.>Takechi, who is also active as a member of LDH JAPAN’s dance and vocal group THE RAMPAGE, made his first appearance in a New Japan ring at the House of Torture special event on the 19th at Korakuen Hall. Although he was unable to secure a win in the six-man tag match, he sent a message afterward, saying: "Even just once, I wanted to touch the ring with Tanahashi-san — I wanted to breathe the same air as him, and that feeling really stayed in my heart. If he calls on me, I’ll rush over anytime, anywhere.">Responding to that, Tanahashi spoke after the Korakuen show the next day: "What I felt watching yesterday’s match was his passion for pro wrestling. He’s properly built his body, and he puts real feeling into what he does. So I think it would be fine to have Takechi compete at the Dome.">With that, Tanahashi officially extended an offer for Takechi to appear at the January 4th Tokyo Dome event, where Tanahashi himself will face Kazuchika Okada in his retirement match.
>>19312803if tana/njpw wanted to get their hands on kasei guy they could had done it quite easily since they are in contact with HIRO the guy who manages EXILE/LDHatm i think NJPW and DDT are fine boosting each other using his popularity
>boyband recruits.Gri...
it's actually le grim to recruit popular athletically gifted celebrities
>>19313025Inoki (or at least the made up one in his mind) wouldn't like it so it's grim
My broke ass friends fucked me out of going to WK14 and now WK20. I fucking hate it here
>>19313322go on your own. you're more free to explore before/after the show that way anyway.
>>19313089He had Chono wrestling full matches with Chyna. Who cares what he would think of Kaisei
>>19313477We made an agreement to go for our first time together in high school, so I don't want to break that. It's just immensely frustrating every year
>>19313693Ah that sucks. If it's been six years the honorable thing for them to do would be release you from the deal. Got to go while you have the chance, never know when your own circumstances might change.
>>19313693go into business for yourself and tell them that doesn't work for you brother
>>19313693your friends must do the honorable thing and present you with their pinkies

So a lot of promotions in Japan are doing their tag tournaments right now. I can't decide if NJPW's is better or worse than some of the others going on.

>>19314923That’s not the Lonestar way, city slicker.
>>19315095Chase grew up like 20 minutes from me in Bristol, TN. He's not from Texas and he's damn sure not a cowboy, kek.

what the fuck lolhttps://www.njpw1972.com/612594>The biggest Wrestle Kingdom of all time on January 4 2026 has gotten bigger with two major additions set for the Tokyo Dome. >November 20 in Korakuen at the World Tag League opener, one third of the NEVER Openweight 6 Man Tag team Champions YOH staged a sit in protest demanding that he, Master Wato and Toru Yano have the chance to defend their NEVER gold on the grand stage of Wrestle Kingdom 20. Chairman Sugabayashi eventually granted assent, and when YOH said backstage that his team would take on any number of challengers, the match has been made as the first ever Tornado Ranbo. >The NEVER Openweight 6 man Champions were created at Wrestle Kingdom 10, and their tenth anniversary is being marked in this first time ever team ranbo. In the match, an as yet unknown number of teams will make their entrances at one minute intervals. Tornado rules mean there are no tags, and when one member of a team is pinned, submitted or thrown over the top rope, that entire team is eliminated, with the last trio standing the NEVER 6 Man Champions. Who will be victorious in this new twist on a Ranbo Tokyo Dome tradition?
>>19316977>Also confirmed for Wrestle Kingdom 20, Kaisei Takechi of DDT Pro-Wrestling and pop group the Rampage (itself a member of LDH and the EXILE Tribe) will be in action! 27 year old Takechi made his professional wrestling debut in February of 2024 for DDT, and in September managed to claim his own six man gold, winning the KO-D 6 Man Tag titles alongside Yuki Ueno and To-y. Takechi made a decided impact, albeit in defeat in Korakuen Hall at Purge Night of Torture, and now this stadium pop star is a stadium pro-wrestler in the Tokyo Dome January 4. What will Wrestle Kingdom have in store for Takechi?
>>19316977Those intervals better be like 5 minutes or something or else this is gonna be dogshit
when the wrestling is bad, you need a lot of gimmicks
>>19316977the robot that books ishimori’s shows made this
Takechi may be hot but he's no Oiwa
>>19316668I believed so at the start but his current cut is nice and the gear is much better
>>19312580Love this nigga
Hiromu in his NOAH Jr tournament semifinal match rn >>19314293
https://x.com/Samantha_1713/status/1991612902948962663"Bill Bodkin asked about a second Wrestle Dynasty. Tony said not this year. It was very successful & they’re open to do it again."Kidani is more honest than TK. Now that's grim.
>>19316977>The get everyone on the show match
>>19317530To be fair, "successful" to Tony probably just means "had good matches". The monetary side of wrestling doesnt seem like it matters much to him (remember that report about him wanting to book a stadium for FD and NJPW would have had to pay half)
>>19317476Hiromu in the Finals against Kai Fujimura now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM6BH0u1pBc
>>19316621based, emperor shingo is the man.
>>19317530I wonder if the reason why last years WK attendance is kinda low is because of dynasty
>>19317690Hiromu won lol
>>19317723Bruh
All just to do the AMAKUSA match but with extra cucked steps.
>>19317738so he'll go to noah budokan show against amakusa?
>>19317750Yes. they shook on it then Hiromu laid him out and went full outsider heel. Pretty based setup tbfAt least someone's actually willing to be the outsider heel as champion
This dude is autistic. Its undeniable
I hope they don't get wolf to be a le epic stoic badass past dealing with HoT, he seems like he'd be more comfortable as a light-hearted shooter
You have ten seconds to name the STRONG tag champs with no references
>>19317853Ishii, Saya, Oro & Roja
>>19317853Whoever the fuck it was that beat TMDK?
>>19317754So what, he gonna drop the belt on Amakusa? I'm not a Noah fag, but i think it's one of the dudes i like most there>At least someone's actually willing to be the outsider heel as championPlease understand, he can only play the heel against his husband.
Welcome to "Whose Watching STRONG anyway?", where the the booking is made up and the belts don't matter.
>>19317853ishii and... ishii wearing a groucho marx costume?
>>19317754is off topic but>Hiromu is playing the role of the outside villain in Noah, but most of the top Noah Jr. wrestlers are outsiders, so he's not very convincing. They need to start by raising the level of the home-grown young wrestlers. I hope Hiromu will stay on until then as a player who can help raise the ranks.and this what nips have to say about Hiromu being there, and it's not the first time I read people pointing the lack of home-grown top players
>>19317530I SAID IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFULIT WAS, OK ?SAY ITIT WAS SUCCESSFUL !SAY IT !!!
where the fuck is this retard ?
>>19318067I'm now realizing Yuto is kinda playing his role
>>19318067And where the fuck is Jake Lee? Smart Bastard has been out for like a year now.
>>19318089Nah. HENARE is a savage, Yuto is a thug
>>19318067i just can't take this guy seriously
>>19318236He did some sort of city walking event where he said he couldn't participate because his injury was still healing. That was in July.
