>>21013392Aaron Wolf was supposed to team with Boltin & Wato, but was pulled last minute due to illness.No New Japan shows until the 30th, and no NJPW World broadcasts until 9/6 for Yuji Nagata's Blue Justice event in Chiba
/GRIP/chads. This is it.
>>21013409There's this happening in the meantime
Stayed up all night watching PooFC and TJPW now it's time to get gripped, I'm toast bros.
>>21013409The njpw withdrawal is gonna sting. Gonna go back to watching old shit
>>21013447Anything good on the ufc show?
Yuyabros... Oiwa is mogging us...
>>21013469He's not a shit guy anymore, but we were NEVER a shit guy. The heat storm can melt the grip, trust.
>>21013474Oiwa is really mogging Yuya this tournament albeitAll the best matches are Oiwa's
Who up gripping their shit?
>>21013464Most of the jobber matches ended in knockouts, but the championship bouts were hugfests, so while fun overall, the last hour poured water on the good feeling.
I been grippin my shit I stay grippin my shit I'm gripping my shit right fucking now and I'mma be grippin my shit later too you feel me
>>21013474>but we were NEVER a shit guyTryna pretend that bald bitch era never happened huh
>>21013439>>21013483You already know
>>21013568but anon, they all had a bald bitch era when they first got here
OH I'M REALLY GRIPPING IT
>>21013392Management really watched their match last G1 and said "Yeah we're giving you the ball next year"
HERE WE GO
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
HOPING FOR SANADA TO GET KICKED OUT BY SHUN AND JOIN HIS UNBOUND BROTHER SHINGO TODAY
I'M ACTUALLY HYPED FOR THE FINAL WTF
This song is based
OSHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Prepared breakfast just in time.
i want to GRIP oiwa’s thighs!
The 5 star bout machine, Yujiro Takahashi.
5 star Yujiro
Why did SHO skin EVIL's scalp for his new jacket?
Can't help but feel like Yuya has been given the torch with his presentation despite the movement behind Oiwa. Oiwa wins regardless of result though, he was in total limbo before this and now he's undeniable as a top guy.
>Walker bringing up Dave Meltzer on commentaryThe marks are on the comms. I'm switching to people I don't understand.
They dont even refer to Despy as Jr tag champion lol
Kek fuck bumpkins
All these Tokyo country bumpkins
We're on JC Mateo watch btw
>>21013802Chris playing dumb popped me, I know he's one of the guys replying "Who?" when someone mentions Dave rated X match 5 stars in /njpw/
I haven't seen the world cup yet but I can imagine Yujiro took 2 bumps and got eliminated
>>21013802I've never been able to stand listening to either of them. Voices that beg you to fall asleep
Poor Yasuda getting lapped by literally everyone
DOUKI HAD BEATEN MISTICO
Misticobros, we just tapped out to DoukGOD....
>>21013843*Mystico
>Mistico's here, Walker!Popped me with that one Chris, have a spiritual (you)
>>21013851I keep seeing gifs of this geek, does he just get jumped all the time?
>>21013839They're funny thobeit
>>21013854***Mistico
chris talking about cagematch kek, it literally is just like 20 guys on 4chan listening to the english feed
>"I love to soak"
>>21013392>Most Violent Players (Toru Yano & Togi Makabe)wait wtf
"He's vain/vein Baby" fucking pops me
what happened to TJP?
>>21013802only a english commentary can do that comment, average jp watcher doesn't even know who is the guy
>>21013875sperged out and cut ties
>>21013873They pinned KOB yesterday
>>21013873>He didn't watch the semisYikesu
What's so Most Violent about these Players?
>>21013883I did. I was just on my phone for most of the undercard.
What was the peak of GHB
>>21013880THE MYSTERY OF THE ASS WANG
>>21013889*GBHWhen they constantly made Tenzan suffer after kicking him out and also managing to turn Iizuka heel unironically enough.
Only time I enjoyed Akira, is when he was getting kwabbed by the war dogs
based kneedrop
>DUBBED
>Music has been alteredFuck you anyway I can always hear it under the dub music
I LOVE KAZAHKSTAN
They need to push big Bolchin
Kek Tatsuya showing the shirt off like Wolf died
I have Zack fatigue
Fucking crazy that Fujita and Wato haven't won the belt, yet Douki shat it up for what felt like eternity
>>21013928lol Fujita's having a laugh
Matsumoto is slowly taking Nagai's spot as Young Lion #1 for me
>>21013931Did you time travel from 2018?
>>21013931>best match of B Block with Yuya>best Wolf match since WKPlease put some respect on our gaijin Ace
lol fuck you wato
He hates this nigga so much
>>21013931Oiwa is being coronated the TMDK ace tonight, Zackary will become a dad thank god. Fujita stole his NEVER shot too so he's now #3
>>21013931He did nothing this G1 aside a few good matches and killing Shooter.
wato must suffer
Who was joking about Wato becoming next Tiger Mask
Boltin just did one chop that was better than GOK's entire career holy shit
Have Boltin beat Gabe, fuck it
I turned my PC RGB color orange for Oiwa
Get his ass, Tatsu
>>21013989There's like a shitload of Tatsus. Tatsumi Fujinami?
>>21013956Fujita is the stepping stone to Zack
oh shit that's rad
Wow, what a young punk
JACKSON IS UNDEFEATED
man, if the great o bitch is Daiki's first pinfall i'll cum
WHERE MY BROTHERS AT?!
OH HELL YEAH THE KINO THEME IS BACK
WHERE MY BROTHERS ATWHERE MY BROTHERS AT
WHERE MY BROTHERS AT WHERE MY BROTHERS AT WHERE MY LADIES AT WHERE MY LADIES AT
i missed hearing this
IMMA PUT EM ON KNOCK OOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT
Someone in the public had really nice perm kek
>Great-O-Khan
Spinning my Knock Out Brothers Spinning Acrylic Stand right now. Can you say the same?
>>21014020damn straight
>>21014020Fuck you
the dynamics in this are hilarious here
>>21014003This but Newman
Great-O-Filter
>the 2 retards start striking each other>everyone slowly leaves the ring
If Callum started working out he'd be super fujo dimes
Nagai is so expressive from ringside, it's cute
I know that Yuto is friend with Fuminori Abe, I wish sometimes he would steal a bit of bati bati than do whatever he do (not a hate post)
>Walker brings up Ospreay during every Newman match>Chalton shuts him down everytime One of us
>>21014020i’m too busy making my yuya doll put my oiwa doll over
>Ospreay's side: HENARE, Akira, maybe Andrade if he matters here>Newman's side: Jake, O-Khan, Zane, Jakob"Grim" - Chris Charlton, 2026
The pop for simply stepping over the ropes always pops me
>>21014036Not a hate post, but true. I honestly think NJPW just wants their wrestlers to work a safer style regardless of what Yuto might want or not
i refuse to watch AEW programming to get an update on empire community theater.
>>21014036I wish New Japan would just fucking steal Abe.
>>21014040He still has shouted us out on commentary
>>21014047Based. NJPW storylines should make sense for Japs who don't speak English and AEW deniers
BASED LIL SHIBATA
AZM's boyfriend is vulnerable, Big Daike. This win is yours
>>21014045It's strange because I saw many comment how they want to see Yuto integrate more street style of fighting. But about being safe IDK i think is safer than throwing people to chairs or doing certain spots (tsuji whatever he did to callum or jake)
>>21014048Abe wouldn't work in NJPW, as much as I like him. Zack is one of NJPW's stiffer strikers and Abe was still toning it down plenty when they wrestled. Plus what would NJPW do with a junior comedy midcarder anyway?
you got this daiki
DAIKI HIT THAT DRILLA RIGHT
Newman proving that he works best in the junior division
COOM INCOOM INCOOM INZOOMIE'S HOLES
What the fuck
based
They can let MVP challenge for the titles at the first hint of a feud but they didn't even let GBH get a NON-TITLE match against KOB for WHY exactly
>>21014048Strange to read some people say it sometimes since he's very DDT adjacent (and wrestle in pr666 thats very queer friendly)
These uncs refuse to go quietly into the night
Fuck you Cuckum PoomanDaiki finna drilla killa your bitch ass
>Yano dropping the belts instead of stealing themHe's washed. He don't got the fight anymore
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What's wrong with this chud
he's got a fucking sword
Hey if Newman is actually leaving then Nagai better pin him
English Gedo
what the fuck man lmao
HOLY BASEDCOBBMEISTER
WHAT IS JC MATEO DOING IN THE SHIN NIHON ZONE
WHAT THE FUCK
S I G H
ITS JC MATEO
like clockwork
>>21014055Yuto himself talked about how he wants to become the world's #1 "striker wrestler" after the Shingo mainProbably works if you only watch current NJPW (and tbf, the NJPW roster does a great job putting him over as a great striker) but if you've seen any actually stiff wrestling you know that's not it
Unexpectedly large chants for Jeff Cobb
WHAT IS JC MATEO DOING IN THE GRIPACT ZONE
Holy Shit its Solo Sikao's henchmen!!!
Apparently this guy just really wanted to be Hontai the whole time so he comes back and he's Unbound lol
Holy shit, did Cobb actually rehab his injuries? He looks the best he had in years.
have some respect you fuckersJeff just saved Daiki from getting his throat slit live in the ring
You know frankly when Callum decapitated Nagai in the middle of the ring I thought he went a bit too far even for him
new japan is back
>>21014110Yeah he had a lot of time to rest
>tfw you start a new game and pick a different path
>>21014099obviously, watching other stuff put things in perspective. my wish to see integrate some bati bati is because it's fun and would fit his character but so far what he doing is good for njpw fans
shin nihon's half decade of humiliation is over
>Shingo and Drilla were right by the curtain ready to make their entrances the whole timewhat a couple of dicks
>Unbound IslanderBased nickname
I MIGHT HIT THAT DRILLA RIGHT
Shingoat finna deport that fake nip Yuto Wheeler and that disrespectful bitch Gabe
>>21014122They trust the plan, and the hands
imagine telling yourself a couple years ago face Drill and Shingo would be fighting heel Gabe and Wheeler Yuta in Ryogoku
>>21014120Oh I fully agree with you. Another thing though is that everyone in the Bati-Bati lineage is shooters (or at least grapplers) and Yuto is NOTHING at all on the mat.If it just meant him throwing retarded headbutts and elbows I'd be all for it but again I think what he's doing WORKS in context. Just don't put him up against someone throwing their shit like Abe does
>>21014131>Trust in GedoWe are so fucking back!
I just heard someone yell fuck you yuta
I still can't get over Yuta looking like 2026 SANADA physically, what does this guy do
Kek the toys have wo kaere heat
Respectful Japanese silence for Wheeler Yuta there
>>21014141probably his friends
>>21014144Junior cosplaying as a hebbyq
Why Wheeler Yuta looks like the kind of guy you find in a train station asking for pennies
>tanahe’s gonna get btfo again ain’t he?
I had Umino pegged to return tonight. But I guess it's Drilla wins here, Umino returns at power struggle
Natsupoi making him sleep on the couch tonight if he loses to that nihonophobic snow ape
>>21014158His concussion must have been worse than expected, surely he was meant to be back for this>I had Umino peggedfujos and okamas sweating
>>21014133And I agree with you on that too. Some anons takes this kind of comment on wrestler style and whatnot too personal
>>21014158I don't think he needs 4 months to recover from a concussion
Shokek just looks like a bitch now for getting called out on the mic other day and staying at home lel
>>21014158umino is making the finals a triple threat
>>21014169NTA but i sus he doing something else like Goto did last year
Imagine if they had sent PAC or Claudio for this. Fucking Wheeler Utah, really?
wheeler yuta built like me fr
There's too much AEW lore in these matches
I really wish this was Claudio here
>>21014169There's no real reason to rush him back before that. G1 CHAMPION HEATSTORM will carry hontai
>>21014166Ehh honestly I think if you get pissed over someone commenting on wrestler styles you just haven't watched enough wrestling. Like there are always options"I wish this guy was stiffer" > watch Detectives"I wish this guy was flippier" > watch DG"I wish this guy was older" > watch NOAH"I wish this guy was stiffer but in the other way" > watch DDT
Lots of juniors matching up with heavyweights these last few days (Callum and Nagai, Wolf and Fujita, Shingo and Wheeler Yuta)
this skinny aew geek in kickpads looks silly next to a trve nihonjin BVLL in Moroni
Its a shame that Drilla is leaving for AEW next year
>>21014189>"I wish this guy was older" > watch NOAH>"I wish this guy was stiffer but in the other way" > watch DDTfucking KEK
>>21014193He looks like a noge dojo abuse victim (he's only half japanese)
KITA KITA KITAAA
Absolutely no reaction for anything Wheeler Yuta does kek
KITA KITA KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
tough guy Shingo having to sell for this emaciated dude
>>21014193>kickpadsAre you even watching or are you just here to cry?
>>21014208iirc he bombed in his BOSJ outing right?
Yuta fucking sucks
KEK THAT GAYEW BITCH GOT HIT WITH EVERYTHINGGO HOME BITCH
>>21014212He counts the half jap in him. Birthrate and such
Thank you Shingo
>>21014215Probably. All I know is that him and Garcia main eventing is a low point in AEW history
>"I think we might have seen the last of Wheeler Yuta there"Kek
That reminded me of when the War Dog murdered Murashima 2 years ago in Osaka.
Orange Cassidy is waiting back home for you Gabeu :)
>>21014215He got upstaged by Alex Zayne lol
They should've kissed
>>21014233It's hard to compete with a Taco Bell gimmick
>>21014189>"I wish this guy was stiffer but in the other way" > watch DDTlel
i have confidence in this new NJPW where they'll perform humiliation rituals on toys that get sent to them instead of belt them
>>21014235....anon
NO VISA HAVING BITCH
>Shota is still deadThe real Reiwa Tenzan
KEK HIS VISA IS STILL FUCKED
>>21014235You can see that every Monday and Friday.
WE SKYWALKINhttps://youtu.be/76O3w4pt0CA
>>21014239Maybe AEW is losing it's TV deal after all and NJPW are treating them like ROH
The Birmingham Samurai Drillanosuke will prevent our illustrious championship from leaving the sacred island of Yamato and gracing an AEW ring, ikimashou
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH
The gimp is here
>>21014248This board has made me overly aware of this
>>21014246Why is it so hard for him to get a visa? He's white
>the whole squad at ringsideSomeone's getting got
Praying that SANADA gets kicked out of this gay dimeless faction right here right now, for his own good
>>21014261Shun is here to dimeify it
Chalton making it very clear that Shun is EVIL's replacement
>>21014260It’s konosuke for the second night in a row
>>21014258He criticized Israel in private
>>21014266Lmao qrd?
>>21014266what happened, bros?
Gabe is KWABOTY for being stranded in Japan after alienating every Japanese fan to try and become a toy in the toybox
Shun and Taichi in the same ring is a great visual
>>21014267Or Shun says "Fuck tenzan" and then beats the fuck out of kojima
I never saw this dude wrestle before but he looks dimes, let's see what he's like
Lord Taichi's theme should be playing every time he comes out. I don't care if its the fucking IWGP Multiverse champion with him
>Chris lowkey campaigning for Ozawa to jumpSlightly based
>>21014277Prepare to be impressed, he's up there with Takeshita in terms of pure ability...That said he's also a serial shitposter and interference guy when he's heel
>>21014280Okay but what if it's dragon George?
>>21014270>>21014271Forgot they tagged (with yuya up for 2024 all together?
>>21014281Not really, Shun really did say to get all the black-wearing heels together. And then EVIL ripped his mask off
either Ren or SANADA is getting their soul saved by the hontai dads but i don't know which
I'd say Ren is getting auramogged to a lethal extent but he's straight up acting like the guy's second from the get-go
We all love Tenzan don't we, lads?
>>21014288sorry i never watched tanahashi's movie
Shun said in one of his live stream on yt that he wanted to fight against Takeshita after he won G1, remembering the time they tagged together.He remember everyone in that match (Uemura, and Ueno along with Take of course), except Shooter and calling Kiyomiya Muto's cosplayer.
Didn't get all of that
Happy 3 years of dick to dick contact btw
>does 2 moves>tiniest bit of pushback>tags outvery ebiru like
If I was Ren I would resign in shame
BAKA YAROU
Shun's got a very Voldo thing going on
bros.. i miss just 5 guys
>>21014314same bro
That bodysuit makes him look 6'4
>>21014313This nigga got sugar in his tank
He's like EVIL with the interference except every time he does a wrestling move it's the mnost insane shit you've ever seen
>>21014319He's just Jojopilled. Incredibly straight
I could get behind Shun's house
ren narita confirmed no longer leader KWAB
kek Ren didn't even get kicked out he just decided to become the starscream
>SANADA is the only HOT members not wearing a black topBabyface turn CONFIRMED via VISUAL PLEA
told yall nothing would happen
YOH finna get pinna
YOHLO, nigga
GOATo getting the defense before the G1 winner, nice
>Shun is just EVIL in a maskPretty grim, kinda fun I guess
>custom underwear outfit yoh dolli knew the fujos would eat up that naked one
WILL HE HAVE UNBOUND GEAR ON TONIGHT????
It's a bit early to guess what they gonna do with Shun
>>21014340He's beating Take for the belt and ousting Sanada
Chris forgot that Take was champion LMFAOOOO
god this theme sucks
>everyone ITT surprised shun uses interferenceFirst time seeing anything outside of highlight gifs from kobe 2021? :,)
dimeless ass theme
>a reiwa musketeer is some dragon gate guy's bag carrierbrutal jannettying, Ren is stuck in 3rd place forever even if Shokek is a living KWAB
Gedo waiting for the Street Fighter box office in Japan to decide if Goto gets that belt back
>>21014342Probably that, since it's booking is limited is one of the sensible choices.I think NJPW have to see how the public feels about Shun being there (and if DG fans might get interested to see him there)
>>21014339nope lol
I am hereby changing the tsuji, shota, ren trio name of reiwa musketeers to theBUSHIROAD MUSKETEERSalsoI am hereby going to call Tsuji, THE GRIP, and Yuya THE REAL REIWA MUSKETEERS
>World Television Championship>it's actually the World NJPW World Championship
>>21014358So Tsuji's part of both now
>>21014359lol
>>21014360Tsuji was the only correct choice the suits made
Have they announced any shows yet? Normally they announced Royal Quest
>>21014364nah they don't get credit for him, they only picked him because he was Tana's personal boy when he was a YL
>>21014358Bet money this was a Kidani idea and Tsuji has been seething about it ever since
>>21014371all three were vocally pissed about it
>>21014367They paired Tsuji and Yuya with Naito and Okada respectively, they knew who they liked. It's just weird that went with the musketeer branding when people were always high on Yuya
YOH get on this nigga's shoulder bro eye for an eye
based boner winning this for his dawgs fr
>>21014358>Ren demoted in his own faction >Shota out while the company has an era defining G1Honestly just cut these geeks from the roster at this point
It's weird how pinning the champ in a tag is still the #1 way to get a title shot but there haven't been a preview tag pin in the G1 in, what, 10+ years?
pass that shit back to goto NOW
Destruction in Kobe looking good, yall
>>21014385Suzuki pinned okada in 2019 to set up royal quest. Got Giga pops too
Grip bros..... it's time
It would be nice for Goto to have another run, but it feels more important for Yuya/Oiwa to beat Tsuji at WK
here we go
>>21014393Yeah I feel that way too.
>>21014389I mean pinning the guy you'll be wrestling tomorrow on a block night preview show. Pinning the champ happens all the time
BASED BOLTIN
LETS GO BOLTINNN
FUCK YALL NIGGAS GONNA DO
I went Tsuji for best performance but fair
WE FUCKING LOVE YOU GOAT
Now they recognise he's popular, Boltin vs Wolf for the NEVER at WK please
>>21014402That's the actual correct answer. I was right on the other 2
>my exact votesI... I helped
>Boltin>Ice>OiwaThe TV Asahi Musketeers
TENZANNNNNNNN
>tenzanbased peepaw working double shift
oh my god oiwa is winning
HEAT STORM BROSI'M GIVING HIM MY POWERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>21014407They should tag in WTL and then face at WK
>Tenzan on commentaryGrip bros...
>wolf doing a destroyerWhat the fuck was that about, anyway?
Make it
new >>21014422
>>21014418AEW tryout match
Uemura went from the obvious winner from the start to feeling like he needs to defy fate itself to win with all the Tenzan baiting Oiwa is doing
GRIPCHADSIT'S HAPPENING I FEEL IT
>>21014423>for one boutwhy
Here comes the winner of the 2026 G1 Climax
Yuyabros...
