Fuck you I was just about to make this thread
>>19616636better than every Cody Rhodes match in existence on his debut. Real star
I kneel to the fatass judoka
Yuyabros... I don't feel so good... Is he gonna take away our ace status?
>>19616636santino ahh debut match
EVIL is underrated
It was truly based and made staying up for this worth it.
Why was the crowd so fucking white hot for him, though? I thought he was good but they were popping for him just doing normal tackles before he even did anything. Not to mention he looks like shit.
I KNEEL
>>19616699Olympic gold medalist. Japs love shoot accomplishments even more than Americans do.
>>19616636crowd was just being nice. hes short and fat..
dude needs bit more of conditioning but the crowd loved him
Wolf will tap out to Wheeler Yuta on Collision before February
>>19616636Tony Khan was watching the match very closely.
>>19616699What >>19616725 saidThat match was the essence of Inokism, unironically>A real olympian gigachad paying respect to the sacred sport of pro wrestling>Evil faction there just like the ones Inoki booked from the 90s onwards>Crowd fucking losing it
Was that nWO Chono?
>>19616795Choshu booked the 90s in NJPW ya dingleberry but still you're not incorrect in essence
>>19616676Sorry broTsuji, Oiwa and Wolf are the new musketeers
>>19616831>Oiwa over YuyaPfffft
>>19616636Better than every AEW match in existence
>>19616659>>19616974I know you're trying to anger each other. But the fucked up part? You're both right!
>>19616814Choshu didn't book every single angle in the 90s, retard. Inoki had his involvement in shit like Hashimoto vs Ogawa, Vader vs Hashimikov, NJPW vs UWF, and many more.
>>19616792Tony Khan is a worked bitch that has told the dirtsheets multiple times to say he thinks EVIL is bad. You think he was embarrassed about this while watching this match?
It do be like that
Carried by EVIL
>>19618420You're supposed to be carried on your first match. That's kind of how it works.
Was this the best match of the last 3?
>>196184411.Tana/Okada2.EVIL/Wolf3.Tsuji/Takeshitter
>>19618441It was definitely better than the movespam match between Tsuji and Takeshita. I don't know which one I liked more between this and the main event.
>>19618420I 100% expected Evil to be a good teacher and partner for his first match anyway.
>Be a certified shoot tough guy>Learn the basics from the greats>Crowds fall to their kneesIt's that easy in Japan
>book like Inoki and immediately sell out the Tokyo DomeGedosisters.....
Lucky iyo
>>19618937>Gedo retired tooKWAB
must have been terrible card when EVIL has match of the show
>>19618947The card was pretty shit, honestly, but the main event and the match in OP were both five stars. And I mean actual five stars, not memeltzer 5 stars.
Wolf's real test is when he has to face a shitter. EVIL has always been a good second.Not to mention multimen matches.
Looks like the anti-draws like Tsuji and Shota need to ask Wolf how to really get the crowd going.
>>19619055>Just win an Olympic gold medal, bro.
>Just win an Olympic gold medal, bro.
>>19618940did he really? that is fucking awesome
It was an incredible debut, but I remember when Tsuji had a really cool debut and now I'm just kinda bored of him...
Why don't NJPW just start hiring judokas if this is all it takes? Their dojo system has only produced flops.
>>19619253Even the most dimes judoka-turned-wrestler (Ogawa) was pretty terrible in the ring but was propped up by the booker and his opponents. It's not a sure thing.
>>19619279Wasn't Ogawa the one that had a huge ego and was a bitch to work with?
>>19619356Not sure about that but he was definitely a controversial figure who kept the audience guessing if what he was doing was worked or shoot.
It fucking KILLS me that the shoot badass future of NJPW looks like a GameStop employee.
>>19619625Not the first time. They know it's time to RETVRN. Now if only Wolf knew how to kick.
>>19619641Based
Was it actually good, or is thread meming? Dave said he was a charisma vacuum in all the appearances leading up to this
>>19619641Shame they don’t have anyone to mimic the other two
>>19619651He was and he is, but it doesn't matter lolWatch the match, it's incredibleCharisma is irrelevant when you got the reputation in the slant-eyed land.
>>19616636>literal debut match>doesn't look out of place at fucking wrestle kingdom, moves look sharp and impactful, sells well, insanely over, nothing too choreographed or clumsy, just really good fundamentals and believabilityCrazy how he's literally better than anyone on the WWE or AEW rosters already. That's what happens when you hire actual athletes
>>19619712Now, now, don't get too cocky. He was there with based EVIL and EVIL no doubt was working at 300% and laid out the entire match detail by detail.The real test is gonna be seen throughout the rest of the singles matches of the year. What happens when he's there against some mid guy? Or in the middle of a G1? Or, like it will inevitably happen, in the third badly booked match in a row? We'll see.
>>19619651>Dave saidLMAO
>>19616636Have sex
Wolf had some issues but EVIL is a solid worker who knew how to keep the match flowing without it being too distracting. That said with more seasoning I can see Wolf being a modern day Hashimoto and that may be what NJPW is aiming for.
Wolf will never know how to kick
