>>19812007Jake Lee fucking rules.
>>19812017They are literally just house shows you obese smark, you are so fucking westoid weekly tv brained it's unreal.
ill watch again when gedo is fired, or when he finally does the honorable thing and commits seppuku. aokigahara is the place for him lol.
Grimjeet acting especially retarded today.
>be gedo>do almost nothing but endless rando tags on EVERY show>spend months on "world tag league" and nobody even notices a difference>attendance takes a nosedive>guys leaving left and right>literally getting carried by stardom>WK is built around three good singles matches, is a huge success>now what.jpg>now we go right back to the same kind of slop that is killing the company! Gedo is an ugly homosexual dwarf who sucks off bushiroad execs to keep his job.
>>19812036even house shows aren't supposed to be the same goddamn thing over and over. if i paid to attend one of those shows i would be seriously pissed off.
I really really hope UnKo is going to be dead in a few months, so far it gave us absolutely nonsensical pairings and horrid merch, just kill it already
>>19812027He's right, I'm already bored by Tsuji.
Really hope Francesco is the designated midge representation in the G1 this year. Think he will get a spot if Drilla does end up leaving.
>>19812083Go study cagematch and get back to me. Stardom runs Korakuen cards full of tags with 1 singles match at best.
Never doubt him
>>19812222I actually had to check cagematch because I don't watch joshi, but you are not entirely correct. this card at least alternated between big messy tag matches and singles matches, which is not what gedo does at all.
Grimcuck wants Gedo to give away Abu Zago vs Napo Zeno IV in a fucking Kurokian Hall show in front of 15 moms taking their toddlers out for a day trip.You got a Jr. heby title match what the fuck more do ya want grimmoid
>>19812083If you paid to attend then you clearly like that style of booking
Thank you TAJIRI
tomorrow's korakuen card has 3 singles matches is it enough for you grimster-san?
>gets Jokerpilled
Jake Lee is basically the Indian Joker.
The Jaker
>>19812457i'm not the grimposter. he's obsessed with AEW and I'm not. I just think Gedo is a shit booker.
Well I thought Jake was cringe before but now he's quadrupling down on the cringe intentionally and I'm at a bit of a loss. At least he's trying something different I guess.
how about another Fortnite dance, Marty Asami
>>19813707
>>19813503The glove thing just doesn't make any sense to e but the interview he did gave some great incite.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSfg0eVAdE8
WANNA KNOW HOW I GOT THESE SCARS
>>19813780This shit is so fucking corny
>>19813780The master of mind games....
>>19813780Fucking excellent character work. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised at all if they rewrite the match because of how well Lee is doing in the build to just have him win
>>19813780based jester exposing this smiling fraud
>>19813780He's basically doing OZAWA but more measured instead of just being a goofy clown, and Jake is literally calling himself a jester
>>19812272honestly he deserves it, he's the first Young Lion I've ever seen get over in opening G1 matches to the point he was one of the most over guys in the entire tournamenthell Murashima might've had the most compelling story of the whole G1 as a YLHe's a DIMES storyteller and a great underdog babyface. Short as he is, he's heavyweight money if you ask me.
Shota should be the one to get AJ's last match in NJPW
Goto vs Oiwa should be great.
>>19813780"ZA COURTU JESTA, JAKUUUUUU REEEEEEE!"
>>19812272>>19814107based murashima bros
>>19814246If TMDK are winning the titles back then I would have this end in a draw and book Oiwa to pin Goto in Osaka
>>19813780finner
Every top heel in Japan is just some variant of "goofy jackass" and I hate it.
>>19813780Mutoh was a drinker.... and a fiend
Lee is promo mogging everyone atm
>>19815825>>19813785>”N-Noooo! Everyone has to be a strong style bad ass! I want my bangarino’s and I want them NOW!”
>>19816215>wears black>makes le epic villain face:O omg so much aura
>>19813780Tsuji does have a goofy ass smile. Jake is right.
>>19816318
>>19814107>>19814321hartley helped literally every young lion on those g1 undercards get more over, he was rather underrated in the context of 2025 njpw
>>19816507I agree Was glad to see they actually intend to use him more.They should, he's based
>>19813780Jake has a weird taste in gimmicks. He was a Sith Lord in AJPW and whatever this is in NJPW. He was only halfway normal in NOAH.
>>19816539to be fair to jake (never thought I'd say this) he was also just a smug war dog originally, I suspect his injury influenced this gimmick a lot
>>19816507>>19816531I mean he's a 45 year old absolute unit freelancer and he got to win a belt at the sold out Dome (and not be the one pinned when they lost it), by current NJPW standards he's done pretty well
So Bullet Club is dead for real now? Kinda sad honestly.
>>19816632Nah, it needed a long cooldown.I expect it will come back strong if they get a gaijin they think is actually worth leading it and is a star.
ibushi is live on instagram with an extremely surreal stream, laid up in a hospital bed, whispering into the camera, the only other noise being a machine he is plugged into that occasionally hisses
>>19816686he genuinely is fucking insane, kek
>>19816632yep grab what you can https://shop.njpw1972.com/collections/bullet-club-retirement-sale
>>19816686I wonder what Kenny thinks when Kota has these moments
>>19816686shades of inoki
he put the phone down and started doing this for a while, blasting his theme song through his phone speaker before his nurse walked in and took his blood pressurehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asZzpkBj224
then he died :( RIP kota
>>19816666I've thought so too and frankly Callum basically feels like he's leading a bootleg BC right now
>>19816921How could Kikuchi do this?
>>19816892>thinking bbm isnt running the camera
>>19812083This is the baitiest bait post I've seen on /pw/ in a while
>>19816921he was a golden star on earth and now..
>>19816913did he actually play this exact version or did (You) link from a random utube search. asking because trying to figure out how ibu-san's mind thinks. many are saying this
