>Mainstream media from around the world were in attendance for the talk session, with Tanahashi outlying plans for the international future of NJPW in the years to come, and Aaron Wolf (while apologising with tongue in cheek that 'despite having an American father, my mother's Japanese and I don't speak English' to laughs from the attendees) talking about his regaining NEVER Openweight gold in Osaka and his goal to be a part of G1 Climax 36 via his play-in qualifier in Korakuen Hall next Tuesday.

Naito stayed true to the ideal of what NJPW is supposed to be. He betrayed a betrayer. I respect him more than that prostitute Goto who hops on twitter to cry like a bitch every time Tsuji makes a slightly disparaging remark about cardslop or doesn't wanna put the heavyweight championship in a westoid style fatal four way gimmick match.

I keep saying NJPW should rip off this concept

I keep saying NJPW should dispel with this fiction that there's a huge international audience for pro wrestling just waiting to be tapped. Barely anyone cares at all. Just focus on home and stop worrying about what faggots in jolly ol england think.

>>20678440
there is an international market, but you're right its not big enough to try and cater to. The best way to appeal to those types anyway is to put on a good domestic japanese product, thats what they want to see anyway.

If Moxley had any class would've already wrestled Umino and put him over at Forbidden Door. He knows the guy's been struggling to get momentum and he's supposed to be his former mentor and he's got heat in Japan as an unpopular champion so it's a natural story. They rewrote Shota's whole character to make him a Moxley fanboy, I feel like he owes it to him.

No one gets over wrestling that white trash bum

>Shota Umino (29), the IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion of New Japan Pro-Wrestling, has taken on the responsibility of being a "global" champion. The champion, who will face PAC (39, AEW) in his first title defense at the joint event with AEW, "Forbidden Door (FD)" (28th, 29th Japan time, San Jose, California), understands the stance of IWGP Heavyweight Champion Yota Tsuji, who has hinted at "boycotting" the event. He has made it his duty to confront foreign opponents overseas.

>On the 14th at the Osaka Castle Hall event, Umino finally achieved his long-awaited first title after nine years and two months in the industry. However, he suffered the humiliation of being attacked by Gabe Kidd (AEW) immediately afterward. "If he's left New Japan, then he should just focus on AEW and do his best. He's also been selected to participate in the G1, so I don't think any wrestler would be satisfied with this situation. This is ridiculous. All Gabe has done this year, as far as the list of participants was at the time, was attack Tsuji in April," he said, expressing his anger.

>Thus, his opponent for his first title defense was decided to be PAC of the Death Riders, not Gabe. "I certainly wonder why he attacked me then," Umino said, expressing his very reasonable questioning of Gabe. However, PAC is a rival with whom Umino has a history, having challenged for the AEW All Atlantic Championship on the RPW mat in July 2022 during his training in the UK, and losing. "It's not like I owe him anything, but back then, the challenge itself was an honor for me. Now that I'm the GLOBAL Champion, he's the perfect challenger to raise the value of the belt," he said, his fighting spirit burning.

>>20698188
>Meanwhile, Tsuji, the organization's top champion, has sparked controversy by suggesting a boycott, citing the way past IWGP Championship matches have been treated in FD. In response, Umino agreed, saying, "I understand his feelings, so I hope he sticks to them. The concept of the belt is important, and considering how the IWGP has been treated in AEW up until now, I think it's been looked down upon, so I think it's time to correct that course."

>"I think the concept of the IWGP was to 'accept any challenge' as a champion, but now that there are other belts with the IWGP name, I think it's my job as the GLOBAL champion to 'accept any challenge' overseas, as it transcends national borders. There is a risk of the title being lost if I lose, but I want to prove to the world that New Japan Pro-Wrestling and the IWGP GLOBAL are the greatest, including that responsibility," he said, expressing his views on the role of each championship.

>At the Sagamihara tournament on the 21st, he took part in a six-man tag team match and secured a decisive victory with a spectacular lariat. "I believe that the belt's significance and value will only increase if we can highlight its unique characteristics," Umino declared emphatically, opening the forbidden door with the pride of a champion in his heart.

“Last summer, I was looking at using someone who is not available at all this year, who I would have loved to use on the card, but he’s not available to come at all. It’s not like he wasn’t available for the TV, he wasn’t available to come at all. That’s Yota Tsuji. I think he’s an excellent pro wrestler. He participated in the event in the past, but I would have liked to have use him more. Last year, I had maybe envisioned a bigger role for him. I had considered him possibly as a title challenger for Swerve Strickland. A few people said to me, ‘He’s a great wrestler, but no matter how much we do on TV for a champion like Swerve, we think a more established wrestler, even if it’s not a New Japan wrestler, might be the best thing for Forbidden Door.’ I think they were right. Will Ospreay himself said, ‘I think I’d be a great challenger for Swerve and maybe it would help the event more if you’re interested in that even if it’s outside the traditional way we’ve done Forbidden Door.’ I thought about it and I thought it was right and I made the choice to do it. I think it was the right thing to do.”

No, I don't think I will, portuANO

>[NJPW] SHO Lawlessly Demands a BOSJ “Do-Over”: “YOH’s Name Must Be Removed from the List of Past Winners”

>SHO (36) of New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s evil faction House of Torture (H.O.T) is making a lawless demand for this year’s “Best of the Super Juniors” (BOSJ) to be done over.

>In New Japan’s junior division, BOSJ winner YOH defeated DOUKI at the June 14 Osaka-jo Hall show to become the 100th champion. On the 23rd at Korakuen Hall, a four-way match will be held to determine the next challenger, with SHO battling Fujita Kosei, Master Wato, and Francesco Akira for the title shot. Speaking to this paper, SHO declared, “I’ll beat the hell out of the country bumpkins from Ehime, Osaka, and rural Italy and send them all back to the sticks. Wato, who interfered in the match at Osaka-jo and helped YOH win in that cheap way, especially needs a thorough beating.”

>YOH, SHO’s former partner from their once-famous tag team Roppongi 3K, has suddenly climbed to the top of the junior division. But SHO complained, “The BOSJ itself should be invalid in the first place. A referee’s bad call changed who advanced to the final.”

>SHO had aimed to win the tournament from B Block, and after all league matches ended, he was tied with YOH and others at 12 points, but was eliminated based on head-to-head results. In his official league match with YOH on May 20 at Korakuen, the referee believed YOH had been hit with a torture tool and disqualified SHO, making that loss fatal in the end. “If they did video review on that, they’d immediately see that bastard YOH was lying. If they don’t police fouls more properly, fans are only going to leave faster,” he argued, though if video review were actually introduced, H.O.T would be the ones most disadvantaged in New Japan Pro-Wrestling…

>>20701567
>Unable to accept the situation, SHO laid out an extremely selfish blueprint: “Originally, I’m the one who would have won BOSJ, so time should be turned back. Once I take the belt, I’ll use my authority as champion to make them redo ‘BOSJ 33’ all over again. Of course, YOH’s name will be removed from the list of past winners. And naturally, I’ll become the 100th IWGP Junior champion too.” He promised the complete erasure of all records related to YOH. Restarting a league tournament with 20 participants from scratch would be unprecedented, and scheduling adjustments would likely be extraordinarily difficult.

>“Everyone who supports that pervert is a pervert too, and right now the morals of the pro wrestling world are being questioned. Just airing his matches is definitely a compliance violation, and it might even run afoul of broadcast standards. With TV Asahi becoming the parent company now, I, the savior, have no choice but to save the juniors from this crisis. I’ll take the belt, and from now on I’ll make him wear a mask.” SHO, who even clearly remembered that YOH had wanted to be a masked wrestler in his younger days, will seize the right to challenge and bring an end to the eccentric champion’s reign.

You really thought Yoshi-Hashi had any chance to beat Wolf?

Despy and Uemura as a team is a funny visual to me

>>20704009
Singles look great though bittersweet knowing it likely stops Taichi and big Yosh

Hey remember when Uemura and Makabe randomly seemed to have huge heat at the end of match but nothing came of it? Weird.

>Jakob picking Jake instead of Newman or calling Jake vs Newman Final
Yeah Newman is out lol

[Shocking News] Jake Lee doesn't speak English

great insight from jake?

>>20704221
Someone on X tweeted that just the other day kek and everyone had the same reaction

The wily veteran Yoshi-Hashi

Do you think Wolf debuts an outfit for the G1 or do they wait for his rematch with Ren at WK?

this wolf's selling is pretty good even if you could feel the awkwardness

Wolf is selling the chops well (probably because they really hurt on his titty meat)

An awkward falling splash saved by YOSHI-HASHI clipping his legs as he was falling down

>Low Fly Fall
kek

That didn't look good

Some based ne-waza from Wolf there

>had to wait 6 months to see him wrestle like this
fuck you

Why don't make him stick to strong style, he doesn't have to that shit

god bless this ugly fuck yoshihashi

DESTIII

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Don't put this guy with HOT again please

Give this man a singles title reign for god sake

I'm not surprised Wolf works well with veterans who are good workers. It worked with EVIL and now It works with YOSHI-HaSHI

what a fucking match

Looking forward to them running that back for the NEVER belt at some point

We've now seen how carryable Aaron Wolf is. Whoever fails to do so this summer should be fired.

This one gonna be good

Let’s go Taichi!!

WHERE MY BROTHERS AT WHERE MY BROTHERS AT

>music has been altered
What?

I'm so torn with this match. Why can't they both be in the G1

Get those fucking pants off, GOAT

These are really just promotions for these veterans at heart. Please Newman be out of action so one of them can move in

HOLY FUCK

Oof he fucking bounced off his dome there
