Oh look, another NJPW guy leaving for AEW...
>>19661510What a great partnership.
>>19661510if you haven't been expecting the LA Dojo boys to jump to AEW since 2021 you either don't watch NJPW or you don't watch AEW and thus your opinion on this doesn't matter
>>19661510Im so shocked by this. I can't believe the guy who >Had a match with Kenny at WK>Dropped his current anti-AEW gimmick (to one that Tony likes)>Showed up frequently on Dynamites>Joined an AEW faction (Death Riders) and even had new gear featuring the logo of that faction to wear in Japan>Is involved in multiple feuds and storylines in AEW>Has been getting more Meltzer praise Would be going to AEW
>>19661510how does he play a violent retard so convincingly?
>>19661585because he's a retard who injures people
>>19661510And all AEW will get will be lower ratings, while NJPW bring up more white twinks
>>19661540I honestly thought Kidd might stick around because Tanahashi obviously likes him a lot and I thought it went both ways, but Tanahashi would tell him to go for the money.
>>19661608NJPW does not pay enough for foreigners to stick around. You would have to be a retard to pass on WWE or AEW money.
>>19661585changing your look does a lot
>>19661510>There's a lot of interest for Gabe Kidd in the United StatesBut why? I like Gabe, but he's been routinely booked like shit in the US, the crowds do not like him, his gimmick only really works in Japan and he's not amazing in ring. His promos are good, but America has tons of talkers who yammer about mental health so it's not like he has originality on his side. Get paid, Mad Man, but I can't imagine he's ever going to go beyond being Marina Shafir's jannetty in the death riders. Hope to be proven wrong though
>>19661526it lead to a sold out Dome this year, so yeah
>>19661616Yeah, but Gabe Kidd is a shoot retard.
>>19661673>AEW is responsible for Tanahashi's retirement>AEW is responsible for Aaron Wolf being mega-popular domesticallykek, they had fuck all to do with that
Why wouldn't gaijins want to work in Japan and fuck all the cute fans and joshi they wanted?
>>19661510I would be upset if it wasn't always a case of Bushiroad getting a taste of their own medicine.
>>19661585plays?
>>19661700>Tanahashi>Aaron WolfOnly one of these guys is a draw and it's not the fat hapa.
>>19661608is this (correct) speculation on our part about tana, or has he let is slip on some clip outside kayfabe
>>19661526We let them use Takeshita and Okada. Tony is a generous god.
>>19661731because northeast asian women don't want to settle down and have kids and pussy for its own sake gets boring once you turn 30
>>19661731>Why wouldn't gaijins want to work in JapanBecause they pay in hotdogs and handshakes?
>>19661881He's said he likes Gabe as far as I'm aware. Whenever they're together you can see that Tana really likes him, just like with Boltin.I thought it was really obvious when Tanahashi had that multiman match on a big AEW show and Gabe was in it too, even though it made absolutely no sense for him to be there and this was at the peak of his savior of New Japan Blue Eyed Samurai 'Fuck AEW' gimmick.
>>19661673anon... thats like saying someone who robs your house and mercs your family in the process leads to them dropping 1 bill of your own cash theyre carrying on the way out the door.tiny's con didnt do nuthin but allow what rightfully belongs to grand nihon to be back in its place
>>19661918thnx 4 insight broand no cap i literally watched highlights of the aedub ibushi/tana/gabe ppv cagematch , if that is and it sounds like that was the game you were refering 2, like either yesterday of a few nights ago. out of all the people wondered how tana got there behind the scenes decision wise of all options. so ppreciate you if this coincidentally ties some things together - based money n miles acesu w/ confidece to still head the best fed on the planet amidst paki sabotage
