>singlehandedly responsible for fundamentally overhauling a change of style for NJPW after a decade long of ladyboy choreographed counter dancing slopI kneel
The saviorI fucking kneel
He's already texted Kaito Kiyomiya and OZAWA to kill themselves at least 10 times in the last 24 hours.
>>21018509What does he have to do with NJPW?
>>21018552Oiwa got sent to the NOAH dojo for his excursion and became grip pilled
>>21018509>>21018531Based
>>21018556can you get a life or kys already. tired of seeing you try to get yourself over with that faggy ass signature you do
>>21018509You had an entire tournament of people going outside the ring into the crowd treating it as a hardcore brawl in practically every single match and then you say a new era of wrestling philosophy is here because one match kept it in the ring.You all have clearly lost your minds
>>21018581>the fags that kept leaving the ring to brawl didn't prosper while the two grapplechads went all the way to the endHoly kino, thanks Gedo
>>21018581all it takes is 1 match and the wrestlers getting a feel from the audienceyou're clearly fucking retarded though since you don't think like this
>>21018591They also left the ring though.
>>21018581they dont watch njpw. they dont watch anything other than wwe. they are just trying to claim victory in a singular match they saw 30 seconds of highlights of on xitter. they would lose their fucking minds and clutch pearls if they watched henare v kidd
>>21018595I didn’t say I don’t like this.I am saying people are insane when they think this match is actually something that is going to redefine NJPW match philosophy like the entire tournament wasn’t endless crowd spots this year.
>>21018595the audience was very into a lot of the matches this tourney, but you wouldnt konw that since you dont actually watch the product
>>21018615It certainly feels like that.
>>21018623so you can't read or are you just acting illiterate?
>>21018509kek based this is why kings road will always be superior
>>21018581Clock it. Most of these people that present themselves as puro fans on the internet just watch gifs of STARDOM and New Japan on Twitter.
>>21018581They have no comeback for this.
>>21018509Wait, I've been a bit out of the loop in regards to backstage stuff - is Ogawa in charge of booking now with the ownership change?Because I'm on board with that.
>>21018619I think it's a wait and see situation.Radically changing the direction of something is difficult and timing is important. You can't just do it because you'll always get voices saying, "Who knows if this is working out, we should go back to the old way of doing things."If this was Ogawa's work (or whoever's work it was), they might have been picking the moment when the most eyes were on things to take their shot so that shot would matter. So they could point at it and say, "Look how much better this is than what was being done before."I don't know if that was the actual math. I doubt it will change much immediately even if it was purposeful. But it would be nice if this is the direction they start moving in because we need classic pro-wrestling more than ever. It's fresh again.
One of the most based move sets the kings road ever produced >american stomp jab>safe American backdrop>eye poke>rollup
>>21019828>gifs of New Japan on Twitterlmao, this immediately outs you as a larper tooNJPW's TV channel copyright strikes everything. There are barely any NJPW gifs and clips on twitter. This is why nothing from NJPW ever reaches outside of their bubble anymore.
>>21020034I'm loath to say this because I detest the company, but contrast this with AEW, which literally outright does shit so that it can become a gif.Japanese companies really need to learn how things work on the modern Internet if they want to make it in the global marketplace.
>>21020054>contrast this with AEW, which literally outright does shit so that it can become a gifWWE was doing that long before AEW even existed, and WWE are way better at farming for viral gifs
>>21020077You're not wrong, I was just having flashbacks of the original Stadium Stampede golf cart shit, which struck me as, "holy shit, they are literally only doing this so it can be a reddit meme," bullshit at the time and left a bad taste in my mouth.Which isn't to knock it in the least, done right. Social media presence is everything in this day and age.
>>21020085It's hilarious to me that WWE is so exceptionally great at PR and astroturfing forced social media hype that people don't even notice it happening or swear it's not a thingWhereas AEW is horrible at it, but they attract all the scrutiny because they make it extremely obviousWWE has dozens of their own Meltzers and Sapps all over the media for example, but people think AEW "controls the online narrative" because AEW's handful of paid shills are god fucking awful at pretending they're not
>>21020264This is such retarded posting. It works for wwe because the fans know deep down inside that it sucks but they have to defend it and so they think Dave meltzer of all people is being paid by AEW. A man who has been reviewing WWE and saying rightly what sucks about it for over 40+ years before there was an AEW.
>>21020264You're absolutely right. The fact is, WWE has had around 25 years or so to hammer this all into a well-polished, well-oiled machine while AEW is largely figuring it out as it goes.Which is another reason I stick to puro. Yeah, it can be crappy too, and I don't know what it's social media presence is like in Japan. But it's nice not to have to hear about it too much here.
meltzer liked and gave 4 3/4 stars to a shitshow match like roman vs seff and people still say he's an aew shill
