He used to be my boy as a Jr. in NJPW and the Scurll match at SG remains in my top 10 but with every shallow, forcefed aew "classic" I regret more deeply ever thinking he was good
>>20745249He moved up to HW in new Japan and was having the same kind of matches he does in aew, poser
>>20745255Nope, the uneducated eye would think that, but his HW matches in NJPW were executionally much better and paced more intelligentlyI still didn't like them because they were still too excessive, he was best as a Jr. when he could actually move fast and the excess was part of the brain-off dumb-fun style of Jr. shit.Him in AEW is worst of both worlds by far and he's executionally the worst he's ever been.
>>20745255outside of the takagi matches he was terrible as a heavy he still spiritually wrestles like a junior indy guy, he never learned to piece matches together like an actual wrestler and has to be dragged to it
>>20745249Shibata (before he himself gave up) literally beat sense into Assplay, smacking him around every time he tried his bullshit kek. We need more Shibatas stiffing the shit out of the new generation of gymnasts, it's the only way they'll learn.
>>20745758*sigh*based shibata sanif only his brain wasn't removed
>>20745249Sooooooo… Who’s this now? Some nxt guy?
>>20745787I read they put it back in and he was fine
