I guess NJPW is fixed then
>>19624348WELOVEYOUGOAT
why come all the words on the belt are written in english?
>>19624348>2026 MVP
>>19624396International title known all over the world, plz understand
>>19624348Good. now swap out the Global for the Intercontinental belt and let us pretend the past 5 yrs did not happen. No World Heavyweight, no Global Heavyweight. Just back ti IWGP HebbyQ and Intercontinental oja like before.
>>19624348Is this real? I might unironically start following NJPW again
>>19624348So this guy is the Japanese Cody Rhodes he needs to bring back the old belt to be over
>>19624413Apparently he said he wouldn’t bring the IC Belt back because he considers it Naito’s belt
no one knows who this nip shitter is I'm afraid
>>19624348I do not give a single solitary fuck about gookshit
>>19624663>>19624668Japanese websiteFuck off already
>>19624769bubblin'
>>19624769thedonald was the worst thing to happen to this place
>>19624966*leftypolNobody gives a shit about your thedonald boogeyman /leftypol/
>>19625132retards beget retards, a tale as old as time
look at that bitch ass faggot. kek
>>19624663Yes it's so much better knowing who jey uso is
>>19625132spotted the refugee
>>19624643Well he's wrong. It's Nakamura's belt, and it Main Evented the Dome. It used to matter. They can still bring it back and fix everything.
>>19625409it was his belt, but it became Naito's belt.Naito main evented tokyo dome as IC champion too, had 1 more reign than Nakamura.
>>19624348This is a genius move to lure Okada back for the Title defense in Tokyo Dome next year. He still wants that version of the belt.
>>19625440Still Nak's belt
>>19624413Not going to happen due to WWE have trademarked "Intercontinental Champion"
>>19624357I'm not convinced, there are still countless dimeless bongland gaijins up and down the roster
>>19625506>Lure Okada backDude didn't even want to be at WK for fuck's sake. He was phoning it in.
>>19627082still naitos belt forever and always
>>19627186Nak will come back for it one day just you wait and see
>>19624348seriously? Tsuji brought back the good belt? that is fucking awesome.
belt marking is insane to me
>>19625132KWAB /leftypol/ is shitting up xitter not 4chins.If you want a more credible leftist boogeyman, RevLeft forum members are more prominent than /leftypol/ nobodies
>>19624413The IC belt being retired is more infuriating to me. You had a belt that was legitimately considered nearly as prodigious as the world title and you threw it away. What the fuck man
>>19627697That's what I said too
>>19627697I think this have to do with WWE trademarking Intercontinental Championship causing New Japan to deactivated IC belt. WWE filed the trademark around 2020 and New Japan unified the belts to IWGP World in 2021
I haven't been keeping up with NJPW since the year when Naito beat Okada at Wrestle Kingdom, but it feels like they've been hotshotting the belt ever since. I hard this guy's name for the first time 2 weeks ago and now he's champion. Was his rise organic or were they just trying to get it off the AEW guy?
>>19631784How about you do your reps and watch, fucking tourist.
>>19631784>were they just trying to get it off the AEW guy?This
>>19624348love this nigga fr
>>19631784>I hard this guy's name for the first time 2 weeks agoCome on now. That just means you weren't paying any attention at all and had NJPW even anywhere near your periphery.I don't watch it and even I heard of Tsuji's name back in 2023.
>>19631784He was correctly predicted to be the most successful young lion of his class during his excursion
>>19627133>>19630742It doesn’t seem like it has anything to do with it. WWE filed for it a year prior, it’s only for merchandise, no application for performance or sporting ie wrestling and it’s only the U.S. even if they wanted to merchandise it for some reason you just call it the Intercontinental Title or the IC championship on the back of a trading card or whatever it could possibly be. Maybe WWE was pissy that Moxley could theoretically market himself as IC champion in AEW if he got that belt, that was around the time he had the iWGP Us belt.
>>19624396Japs think English looks cool
>>19624396Wrestling is an American import so they keep a lot of things in English. That's why the refs count in English
