>swallowed by the new and hot Goto Revolution
>gets wrecked by EVIL
>lose in the play-offs of the G1 yet again after calling it make or break for your career
>enter a factional alliance with LIJ after a feud where he has no agency or authority
>Bullet Club is silently shuttered by his former rival Tsuji, ending the biggest gaijin faction ever with a whimper and making Finlay the only leader to never win the hebby q
>job to a 23 year old kid who has been around for a couple years, mostly as some sort of pseudo young lion
>finally leave company for AEW (the fed with deep family ties apparently couldn't be assed to offer any meaningful contract)
>have nearly zero status to AEW fans and priority in booking, essentially leads a toothless War Dogs faction
>the 23 year old kid wins the NJC and the hebby q immediately after, surpassing him and his achievements almost instantly

Smarks so easily become the marks of the 70s and 80s, sending hate mail to heel managers and trying to stab some dude for beating their home town hero. It's pretty funny. Personally I just get worked by HOT shenanigans then pop hard when they get beat up.

I admittedly only watched the main event of the last Despy event but it was a great story told through the form of extreme violence rather than gratuitous blood and gore for the sheer hell of it like much of hardcore wrestling is. Card for this one doesn't look that interesting but I'll check it out at least.

Insider here, Bushiroad is trying to make a new Naito out of Tsuji. The comment Tsuji made about the card games had the green light from Bushiroad and now they're trying to make it look like they're punishing him by making him lose to relatively unproven Callum Newman. He will also lose the Global title to Gabe Kidd. He will not win the G1 or the title back this year, they plan on slightly cooling him off to make fans think that Tsuji has to go against the corporation. They think by next year he will become massively popular, expect more comments or references to Tsuji having problems with Bushiroad in the next few months.

That's what the whole roster was saying when he had it, it's beating a dead horse at this point

He is Ospreay's young boy. The humiliation will continue until he turns on Ospreay, but then resume again when Ospreay beats him in a match

>>20212011
Yeah but at least it would be a reason for why he's going up against him and teaming with ospreay. It would also be funny seeing the twitter trannies melting down again

This whole thing is pretty retarded and weird so it wouldn't surprise me if Tony is involved. But then again njpw has done this many times before so it could just be them

tsuji has 0 ties with ospreay. the ue do. come on now.

Why did Callum need the belt to go to Dynamite though?

>>20212138
Tony has a million guys he could have team with ospreay which would actually make more sense for him to build up people on his own roster. But he's addicted to collecting toys and likes the idea of the iwgp champion on his show no matter who it is

Looking at the difference of reactions between here and on x dot com, i wonder why so many there don't mind that. I guess that maybe because a lot of them are mostly AEW and secondly NJPW while here is the other way around, or don't watch AEW at all
>>
is there even a forbidden door this year?
>>
>>20212312
A lot of AEW die hards are terminally online (yes I get the irony saying that on 4chan) and they unironically try and dominate discussion about anything AEW related. For example the NJPW subreddit used to be very critical of the AEW/NJPW partnership, but now its just full of AEW fags saying they would love Orange Cassidy in a G1 or posting 10 years old Kenny Omega NJPW matches
>>
NJPW and Bushiroad are spineless. Imagine destroying your brand, cheapening your belts, and letting your supposed "partner" poach any talent you make.
>quarter-full arenas
>horrible ratings
>sell out your home audience and real fans for it
Shitshow.
>>
>>20212323
Holy fucking shit. I thought I was the only one who noticed that.
The Subreddit used to be great. There were real fans on there who saw AEW for what it was and despised the partnership.
Then the sweats came in, ran the good posters off, and now any comment or post criticising AEW gets downvoted.

Anyone else think the current factions suck? In 2018 we had Chaos, Bullet Club, LIJ, Suzuki-gun….and now we have United Empire, Unbound Company, House of Torture and TMDK….none of them scream cool, their names or their merch
>>
>>20215866
House of Torture's name and merch are definitely cool but the rest of it especially now is so dimeless it nullifies both. TMDK is basically what late stage Suzuki-gun was functionally, UE is whatever. Unbound Co. is a like a worse CHAOS as a seemingly random collection of people with no grand design or idea. they're saved by KOB who are the most popular new act in the company and ironically don't even put that shitty Unbound logo on their merch at all lol

Tsuji can actually make good on his whole defender of NJPW angle now with the Global belt and Gabe so I think this is good for him, though if he loses he really drops down a peg . I never found him believable enough as double champ or an ace like figure.
>>
>>20216144
He is losing the Global title too, he is done.

NOAH before the years ends
>>
>>20216144
Gabe is definitely winning. Its been the same old story for the last few years, an AEW guy wins a belt around this time to "build to Forbidden Door" or whatever.
>>
If Tsuji loses to Gabe who challenges for the title at Dominion? It would be weird if he challenges after two straight losses but I guess it's happened before
>>
>>20216144
I just think this is how they separate the belts again, Gabe wins through cheating, possible Finlay/Connors interference, then Tsuji challenges Callum for the rematch at Dominion which he wins. Makes Newman a threat as a former champion, frees up the Global belt for Umino/Uemura/Taichi/whoever to defend the honour of Shin Nihon by beating Gabe the traitor for it at Forbidden Door while in the long term reviving the upper midcard by giving them a belt to fight for, and Tsuji gets a longer reign with the top belt this time to properly establish himself.

I would have had him hold it til kopw regardless of all the aew shit. If Dominion wasn't airing on tv or whatever I would've had him defend against shota or yuya then Tsuji beats him in the g1 and kopw. Also if tony wasn't a fag for forbidden door I would have him beat ospreay or omega or maybe even hangma'am

I don't know about the "he's still too green" explanation for Wolf's booking. He was more than adequate at WK. They could have him winning every match in 3 minutes after two judo throws and the crowd would eat it up
>>
>>20244719
You are right, he was more than adequate at WK but because EVIL was handling him.
And I guess that since EVIL left so he has to be booked with Fale.
>>
>>20244952
EVIL's a great worker but he's not Curt Hennig. There are other guys on the roster who can bump around and do a little crowd work to fill the gaps in Wolf's in-ring ability.

It's their own fault for deciding to keep him in the vortex, especially once the guys (I think sanada would've been good with him) that could actually carry him left. He could've been in Boltin's spot with Bishamon, or he could be working every show with or against guys like Nagata and Makabe. But here we are
>>
>>20244982
I'd honestly say EVIL vs Wolf was something they could've returned to if they actually broke them away for a bit, then you can get back to that for Dominion. Instead they stuck him with an immobile shitter so he can work maybe 2 minutes in the ring of a 8-man tag. This makes me think they aren't gonna take the risk of putting him in the G1 if they're gonna isolate him this much
