>Although the team suffered a defeat, Tsuji countered Goto’s claims backstage. “I read that article in the Tokyo Sports. I don’t really care what you think, but if veterans like you get too caught up in social media and stop thinking for yourselves, it’s the end of the world. Veterans like you should have firm opinions of your own and keep thinking about what really matters, don’t you think?” he declared.
>He went on to ask, “If you say I’m an idiot, then fine—I’ll be an idiot. Just tell me one thing again: What is the ‘Goto Revolution’?” With a title match against Goto—with whom he has long waged an ideological battle—on the horizon, tensions are already heating up.

I don't have it in me to create full stables, but assuming we need 6-8 stables on the roster here are the guys that should be faction leaders i m o
>YUYA
>OIWA
>TSUJI
>YUTO
>SHUN
In order of face-heel alignment. All self explanatory I think
>GOTO
>ZSJ
Goto's still a credible gatekeeper and the last of the old guard. Easy to build a stable around.
Zack may not be as smooth in the ring anymore, but he was never the technical wrestler people act like he is. His strength isn't in his wrestling but in his character work. Should play a cocky heel at all times.
>O-KHAN
Probably my most controversial pick. I don't think he should be the faction leader in the ring, but he should be the mastermind and talker, think 2021 UE

I would prefer they just have more stables with less guys, maybe cap them at 4-5 guys tops, so you don't have a bunch of huge ass stables, would work better overall

>>21128833
just give o-khan a speech backstage to get a clue and i agree. hes all right in my book. needs to step it up solo i hope.

shota umino will be top heel

ren narita will be hazed until he gets another clue.

Shota looks like the joshi wrestlers that present a bit butch to appeal to fujos. Like Utami

>>21128204
Thanks friend, even if you disagree with some (or most?) of my post. We're you the anon saying ZSJ and Oiwa should stay as mentor/student? Just curious, I don't think it's something that needs to be rushed but eventually I'd like to see them have a match... preferably as enemies, but wouldn't reject a battle of friends sort of thing.

>>21129278
No, honestly that's the part I agree with the most kek. Zack should be a heel and Oiwa doesn't need a mentor
I think Yuto deserves a stable though, Sanada is better-off as a henchman i think

>>21129287
Ah... but that's the beauty of the GOLDEN stable, it's designed to implode. I only want to use it as a springboard to get Yuto and Skywaker over and propelled into different spots.

My main goal is to have each of the future main eventers as leaders of stables. Some stables already have the future in that role: Oiwa, Uemura, amd Tsuji. In other stables I set it up so that the current leader will cede the crown to another; Goto will get Wolf over, Sanada will fall to Yuto... ideally Callum will fuck off to AEW and Skywalker can take over that faction. ZSJ can try to rehab Umino or Narita... preferably Narita.

End goal: Uemura, Oiwa, Tsuji, Yuto, Skywalker, Wolf, and Narita form the backbone of the next decade. Boltin would be in the mix but I'm not sold on his personality. Jake Lee... maybe.

>>21129354
i think wolf is already incredibly over, the crowd is just patiently waiting on him to become a good pro wrestler in the way that oleg has suddenly come into his own this year

>The storyline and conclusion of the G1 really felt like something right up Tanahashi's alley. It was an energetic, full-throttle pro wrestling match between Tanahashi's successor and Tenzan's successor. I reckon he had a heavy hand in booking that one.
>Tsuji is so far off the mark that Goto's already given up in disbelief...
>No matter how much Tsuji gets criticized and Goto gets supported, it's rough knowing that Kobe is guaranteed to retain his defense, isn't it? Neither Tsuji nor Goto gets any real benefit out of this. That's exactly why they need to build up the feud and hype the match regardless of the outcome. The champion is to blame here,Goto's trying to create a conflicting narrative, but the champion is in the wrong for not playing along and attacking in the wrong direction.
>It's not about Tsuji or anything, but Goto's social media posts can also go off the rails sometimes. While athletes clashing views isn't inherently a bad thing, getting into internet slap fights with amateurs probably isn't the best strategy. Plus, preemptive defenses like "if I say this, people will say X" just drag you deeper into the trap. I feel like the best approach would be to call it a day here and just let your in-ring performance do the talking.
>Well, if it were someone like roughneck Unno in the early days whose social media posts are out of touch or poorly written, I'd say they should just quit. But Goto's posts aren't out of touch at all, and they're actually entertaining.
>Up until now, Tsuji's points about treating wrestlers with respect and not being a puppet of AEW were somewhat understandable, so there was a fair amount of mixed reactions. But for the past two days, I honestly have no idea what he's trying to say, so only crazy people are defending him.

>19 days ahead of their impending battle in Kobe World Hall for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Destruction, challenger Hirooki Goto and champion Yota Tsuji made things official at a contract signing on September 8.

>With Hiroshi Tanahashi presiding, the opponents each gave their opening statements, starting with challenger Goto.

>'I earned this challenge by defeating the champion during the G1. I want to make the best use of this chance and to wear the belt I've never worn before in that IWGP Heavyweight Championship. If I'm honest, I don't feel the reolve and the readiness as champion that Tsuji keeps on talking about, so I plan to bring that out of him before I win. From there, I'll beat (Ryohei) Oiwa in Ryogoku and go on to the Tokyo Dome as champion'.

>Champion Tsuji presented his challenger with a bouquet of flowers before giving his statement:

>'First of all, these are to congratulate you for your role in 'Street Fighter'. You are my opponent, but I have a lot of respect for you being able to branch out into Hollywood.

>Now to get to the match. Since this tour started, Goto has been saying a lot about how I don't have the right stance as champion, how I conduct myself and say the things I do about the company. I truly appreciate that. All my time as champion, I've felt strongly that I need to do the things this company needs in the modern era. I feel that I am the champion NJPW needs right now, and I've been doing and saying the things that need to be done and said. But I've also always said that if someone has any issue with that, then they need to step up and see if they can take this belt from me. Goto has been the first person with a truly different ideology to mine that's come up and tried to take the title from me. He did earn this challenge when he beat me in the G1 and he's absolutely the most worthy challenger.

>>21142719
>One thing though that Goto has said that I have issue with is that he feels this match is about the right to face Ryohei Oiwa in Ryogoku. Maybe the circumstances have made things look that way, but that's all a matter of perception. This is about who is strong enough to be the champion, and be the man that Oiwa tries to challenge. If Goto truly feels like he's strong enough to take this belt and be the champion, then that's the feeling he needs to have when he signs that contract. If not, then I'd rather he didn't sign at all.'

>Under questioning from the media, Goto and Tsuji would go back and forth about the perception of the Kobe title match. Tsuji chided Goto's 'inferiority complex' surmising that it 'came from his losing record int he G1,' but acknowledged that not only did Goto beat the champion 'he also beat Boltin and SANADA, the other guys that beat me. He should have more confidence'. Ultimately, the challenger reaffirmed his resolve to fight for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship over and above seeing the bout as one to determine an opponent for G1 winner Oiwa at King of Pro-Wrestling in October; Tsuji quipped that 'there's the Revolutionary spirit,' but Goto responded that 'the Goto Revolution doesn't just end with the IWGP Heavyweight title' indicating grand ambitions that lay beyond.

HENARE back after begging Japanese twitter for forgiveness cuz some other coconuts acted goofy

o khan fucking sucks

Shota lock in. Get on cycle.

its cute that Henare is doing a bunch of Samoan/Tongan spots and just adding Maori to the name

Worst collection of heels in the business

If Shun keeps his DG theme when DIA should have no problem

Nice dig at disco inferno, Chris

Special...

shun's just getting his ass beat like cobb the other day

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Weird ass gimp nigga

Damn Chris all alone :(

Skywalker kinda sucks but at least he has some personality. Puts him above these other shitters at least.

cobb loosk so happy but that young lion looks bigger than him

weird seeing Cobb in red and black

>Yushin Hatasawa's emotional comments after his debut match!

>"I've overcome tough and painful things with this day as my goal! As a pro wrestler, I'm still immature in everything, but just as pro wrestling gave me dreams, now I'll become a pro wrestler who gives dreams to others!"

Japanese people think Claudio Castagnoli looks like Jason Statham, but do Americans think so too?

>>21148653
Vaguely

anyway claudio is one of the AEW guys that i will happily watch in NJPW and totally give a pass
we've been trying to get this strong nigga in the G1 for over a decade

The weakness of this world title match build and all the matches NOT being built up for Kobe because these AEW guys are in them yet not around to build them has taken some of my excitement away.

>>21149369
Kobe is just a filler show anyway. Ryogoku is where the really important stuff is taking place and that doesn't even mention Oiwa vs Tsuji

shun skywalker got a dumptruck

What did he mean by this?

>>21150550
This is even more stupid when you look at Shun’s prior finishers, which were great. Also, if the complaint is that he’s too beat up at this point to do the kneesault, then he’s definitely too beat up to hip slam himself nightly.

shun selfslammer

Hatazawa should not be losing to gigatwink Nakahara

>>21150550
I fucking hate Dragon Gate

>>21150846
Apparently he didn't even do that in DG

Poo Slopan is fucking dying. And that's a good thing.

>>21149369
if shingo vs claudio was like 7 years ago I would be excited but i've seen too much of either of them to be hyped for it in 2026

>>21150916
The >>21148448 spot isn't something they should be doing regularly.

>>21152148
To think Connors is somehow the only (War) Dog to make the jump that didn't take a massive hit to his credibility (wasn't much there to begin with)
