>>21008116
Yuya's good at slow matches and Tsuji's the best when he gets paced out. It's for the best

>>21008121
stage 2: anger

the crowd feels quieter than before, might be too early

Tsuji used to waste my time selling all match every match. Glad he's actually taking charge now. Makes his moveset better

Tsuji's gonna lock in a Boston crab late, and Yuya is gonna get Tana levels of sympathy

>>21008142
everyone’s tired after all that gripping

I like to believe that tthe youth movement this year started because of Ice's 1.5 promo

>>21008142
Its definitely a slower match and you can feel it but there's definitely a lot of lapsed fans just here to see Tenzan and dont know any of these guys

>>21008139
so you’re telling me tsuji has a better theme than yuya?

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the standing Lion's Shiner is more powerful than the lying down one? I get if he doesn't want to just rip Aces High/HFF to a tee but it doesn't make sense to hit a supine opponent just for him to get up so you can hit your finisher.

I can feel a rollup for Yuya

oh no, he's finnering

bros..

I'm calling upon the uncs
Was Tenzan based? It looks like he was at his prime during the Dark Days and was in grandpa status by Okada's time

>>21008289
Because they understand wrestlers are characters and like one they have to end it in a fulfilling way even if retirement are always sad when it's about injuries or worse

>>21008289
true but the former two are the literal definition of "doing the job on the way out"

I think after this Kojima will be the last remnant of nWo that's still active.

i'm misty eyed already

I went back and watched his matches from then. He was really good and dare I say it Naito popularity wise.

I didn't watch these guys in their primes, and this gets me emotional. I can't fathom the feels of watching your favs that you grew up on retire

>>21008298
DUN DUN DUNNNNN

>>21008311
same man fuck

>>21008299
He was an amazing babyface in the mid 2000s. Such criminal treatment and badly timed injuries at the time that "Tenzan must suffer" became a thing

>>21008298
oh my god, it’s so over

>>21008307
Last Love was such a fitting name. And the banner at the end with Misawa and Hashimoto was a beautiful tribute

Kojima still looking so good after all these years

bout to be the most emotional 5 minute ever

fuck me, he can barely even shuffle walk

owari da.. it’s over

Sad Chono :(

It's Hiroyover bros...

>>21008369
Tenzan had a lot of damage through out his career and he refused to take time off and heal. So he has massive nerve and compression damage. Diving headbutts and all that shit are not worth it.

Btw, Kojima in the camo tank top saying, "sorry I made you wait" is some of the most soulful wrestling shit I've ever seen

OH N-

He's just lucky, like Tana was, to still perform on the ring for his retirement.

Japan's approach to mental health is very problematic

this is a biggest climax for nooj in years

Hes trying his best not to fall over, man. His body is in tatters, but he still holds on as long as he can.

this is the third 10 bell count i hear this year. it's sad, even if you can be there and didn't follow closely it's always touching.

Honma's retirement is next

& then natsupoi’s retirement

god i hope he has a family/children/grandchildren to look after him and a place to be in the real world

You can tell a lot about a man by how many lives he’s touched. Looking at every Tenzan second from Wato to Oiwa to Yasuda praising him and getting emotional, you know he was a father figure in the dojo.
