The money mark hated Ibiru and that pretty much kept the Tortureverse on its own island. As an inhabitant of the House I hope Shun starts working a more cancerous style quickly because those flips and the lack of interference could get him very over with Memeltzer and suddenly the House of Torture is working an angle with the Death Riders.

Shun sucks and I wish he leaving was for real.

Impeach Tanahashi.

Taichi should get a title run because he's based and refuses to leave Japan

>>21287667
Shun is still really repulsive to the average gaijin fan since almost none of them watch Dragon Gate and get his shtick so we're safe. RIP PAC he would be the only one going "yeah you should bring Shun in"

>A special press conference in Tokyo on October 5 saw the contracts signed and official for King of Pro-Wrestling's main event, with Yota Tsuji and Ryohei Oiwa putting pen to paper for the big Ryogoku card.

>Speaking as challenger, Ryohei Oiwa was first to issue his statement:

>'You don't need me to remind you that winning the G1 made me the strongest fo the summer. But I lost to three people over this G1. Shingo Takagi, Yuto-Ice and the man next to me, Yota Tsuji. All three from Unbound Co., all three the same team, so I need revenge over the team leader and I will get it on October 12. I'll win that belt and become the new standard of IWGP champion. My Big Dream is far from over.'

>The IWGP Heavyweight Champion Yota Tsuji was next:

>I'm surprised at Oiwa's momentum. He went from having to play in to winning the whole G1, and that's an incredible achievement. I'm excited to face him. Oiwa must be coming in with a ton of confidence to face me, so I hope that he uses the style he's worked hard to cultivate to try and beat me. Oiwa, give it your best shot. I'm ready.

>Expanding on the confidence he's felt since claiming the G1 trophy, Oiwa cited that self belief as the biggest change for him between his defeat at the hands of Tsuji during the G1 and this impending title match. 'I started talking about my Big Dream before the G1,' he remarked 'and I went on to win the trophy, but I still haven't made my Big Dream come true yet. My summer isn't done until I win the IWGP and secure a main event in the Tokyo Dome.'

>Tsuji would concede that he felt 'some fear' at his challenger's momentum, but that 'all wrestlers always have a sense of fear. If you don't you can end up breaking your neck'. Tsuji admitted that Oiwa's style was one he couldn't emulate, but that 'there is no right answer in wrestling. The mix of styles is what makes pro-wrestling great.'

>Oiwa's chief concern in ring was of Tsuji's stunning counter to the Big Rock in Hiroshima this past summer, where a Fire Blaster counter put the Grip to the mat. 'Next thing I knew I was looking at the lights,' he stated. 'I hadn't expected that, but now I think I have something in mind, to stop the Fire Blaster and show what lies beyond.' Asked about more counters to the Big Rock and preventing the G1 winner from wrestling his 'new standard' style, Tsuji cautioned against 'venturing into spoiler territory,' but said 'I'm always thinking of how to counter that Big Rock.'

>Tapping into his tournament winning confidence once again, Oiwa praised Tsuji's 'great chops, speed and power,' admitting that perhaps Tsuji 'may have no weaknesses, but I will create a weakness starting with our preview tags tomorrow and we'll see if he can even walk into Ryogoku next week.'

Bad Luck Fale was never top champ in njpw, ospreay was, was booked like a top guy on the level of okada for well over a year. fale would never get a singles match win over okada outside of a G1 or NJC but ospreay definitely would have if they had both stayed in the company
you're doing that retarded "leftists pretending they don't understand" meme image thing, you know damn well what i meant

>was booked like a top guy on the level of okada
>on the level of okada
well no because he jobbed to him clean at both Wrestle Kingdoms on either side of his 46 day championship run and then got bitched by him in the G1 final so there was no point he was ever a credible threat to Okada

It was probably their worst match together. I think you will like it if you have the same taste as Meltzer but Ospreay is repulsive for me currently.

>>21308532
>>21308539
While I think it's fine for Ospreay to win at this point in his career, I agree that his in-ring has regressed. AEW brings out his worst habits.

Okada is usually good at keeping Ospreay grounded but he is usually probably the guy in the driver's seat of putting the match together. Now that Ospreay is AEW champ, that probably isn't the case. This felt more like Okada in a Will Ospreay style match than it felt like Ospreay in an Okada style match, if that makes sense.

Prime SANADA vs Yuya would've been so good... life is so unfair

>>21308532
Probably their worst match together not counting the first one where Will was local talent in RevPro. I was surprised that Okada didn't activate full rainmaker gear for it because he always tried for Will in the past. The other anon was right that it was an Ospreay style match instead of an Okada one so that's probably why he didn't leave it all out there. He doesn't do that mark blading shit or intentionally bumping wrong on his head, so it was a PG version of Will's previous king's road larp title defences. You had the geeky aew big match staple where Ospreay hits the rainmaker on Okada and Okada kicks out at 1, except Okada clearly wasn't actually angry, kek. He didn't emote that much at all. Kicked out of a styles clash, two hidden blades in succession, a stormbreaker, then got pinned by another hidden blade. Didn't like how Ospreay tried pinning him after each finisher instead of just dumping them on him in succession like you might see in NJPW. (THE G1 29 match with SANADA comes to mind, where he had the psychology to realise he wasn't going to put Okada away with one moonsault, so did two in a row despite there being like 20 seconds left on the timer.) The successive kickouts weren't hype because Okada wasn't emoting and he didn't head drop himself on every finisher like Kenny did. AEW marks will pop for the visual of Ospreay kicking out of the rainmaker, but real niggas know because he didn't hit the high arc german / tombstone / flowsion before it, it doesn't count as a finisher. I assume Okada protected that for a future bout on PPV, even if it's Ospreay I don't think he can be made to care about TV.

Let this end already

FLY OVER THE SKY

Giving Narita his own entrance doesn't negate the brutal mogging taking place, Tana.

I love this gimpy nigga like you wouldnt believe

Didn't realise how big Shun is until he was in with BARS. I don't know how he can do the dragon gate shit.

>>21309237
I think some DG fans were making fun of him saying he is a fatso and should had lost weight and so on

The ref could clearly see Togo doing it there

holy fuck i thought the guy sitting near the left entrance was kevin kelly for a sec

HE VAIN BAYBAY

Zane is pretty bad for having 3 years training under his belt desu, didn't realise it had been that long. Though should one even count the NJPW Academy days where he was training under THE illustrious Kevin Knight, lol.

>>21309263
he seems fine to me i dont get what you mean

this faction war is straight ass

Shingo is taped the fuck up

Jesus christ fuck off

>>21309272
He's fine for the 1 year Noge Dojo experience level that he has, but I don't think they should have let him "graduate" so soon because he was fucking around with The DKC for a few years before it. Daiki and Yasuda are far better than him but are still wearing the black trunks and haven't got their first win.

Jobbing out my goat Shingo to Jeongmok just so they can try to get Shokek over for the #1231293192391293th time smdh

Someone tell Yonosuke Kitamura he can fucking revise his music and make Oiwa's song less shitty

This dude is fucking tiny but somehow has the best singles theme music in this match.

oiwa sexxxo

>>21309287
He's not a shit guy anymore!

Excited to see this lil vietnamese nigga. I thought he was gonna be a young boy, i guess not

dis dood 5'5 and fat

Tsuji is so lucky to get squashed by Oiwa sexo

this guy on commentary needs to stop cutting promos and speak normally

Who's the dude on the eng commentary because the voice sounds familiar I think I heard him once on my Instagram feed kek

>>21309294

lil viet got some force behind his shit. just don't pretend he's a heavyweight

A tall guy is at least workable, the guy that blatantly short would work better and stand out more as a Jr

Oiwa doesn't deserve that

Hechiiiiii~

Gimme that lucha, Hartley

Fuck me, add MJF to this list now. Every WK match will feature an AEW guy now

>>21309330
Feel like they making a Forbidden Door WK knowing they don't have enough draw to fill the venue and count on AEW fans to come over, like many did for Tana's retirement

If New Japan doesn't treat AEW like UWFi at Tokyo Dome then I don't want any of this. Just this overreliance shows how grim things are.

>>21309333
Its such backwards thinking. The last crossover show drew poorly (and bushiroad even said that) and they've just had a G1 that got people excited for the new generation. Now we have to cut off all that momentum for AEW guys

>>21309330
MJF was actually the one showcase bout I wanted on the card ever since Oiwa started talking to him. That'll be a great match if MJF leans on the 80s foreign heel style. I don't like how Jeongmok, Gabe, Takeshita, Ospreay and probably Edge and Christian will be there too though. Possibly Okada too. It should really be just 1 or two cross promotional bouts, like it was when there'd be a ROH title match on the card. Joshi curtain jerker and an AEW guy.

>>21309338
i said "feel", maybe it's just us reading too much into that and will be just one card.
i do agree with you but in general i don't mind big shows, the yearly ones, getting a cross-promotion cards, but i don't like aew and njpw dynamic since aew barely cares about njpw when they have their big shows.

peacemaker hechicero

>>21309346
I just don't see the AEW guys or Tony agreeing to put the NJPW guys over (especially with their media deal negotiations coming up soon). I just see a lot of belts going on their yearly AEW holidays and the NJPW guys looking worse for it
>MJF putting his fake belt on the line screams that he's winning
>Okada aint agreeing to lose to Tsuji
>Cope is a massive self mark and probably wont lose
>Ospreay is probably beating Newman at least in their first match
>Mox probably wont lose (especially if he's wrestling Shingo instead of Shota)

>>21309337
I think MJF will put Oiwa over so they can have a world title rematch at Forbidden Door when MJF has the belt again. Mox will put Shota over for sure. I think Tone will let Ospreay lose to Callum in a non-title bout because again he'll go and job out on an AEW PPV.
I won't mind the partnership if it's a "your guys job on our shows, we job on yours" because the fanbases don't have that much crossover and you can just ignore what happens overseas. If we go back to jobbing on our own shows, it's >grim though.

Anticipating a Black Arrow

SHO is still my nigga. Fuck YOHetty the Hiromu cosplayer

gwan Lobby

>robbie x limbwork
ok see yall in like 10 minutes

Robbie is basically bald fat dwarf Ospreay, acts like a cripple for 20 minutes then suddenly performs the most athletic feat you've ever seen in your life then goes back to not being able to walk

Why you do this to yourself again?
AEW wrestlers are in a different dimension, they are not going to job to some jabronies randomly.
The last time MJF jobbed was after making Místico bleed.

Lobby's body is beyond fucking grim but he's easily the most gifted Jr on the roster. He needs to lose the gay porn physique and slim down so his career can take off

Can they just work the fucking neck or ribs or something?

he's not even trying to sell anymore lol

This bullshit makes you misty eyed for the El Phantasmo Jr days

>>21309362
Well, guess not

>>21309416
selling legs is hard even for a hebbyq, sure it's more in your face when a dude gimmick is doing flips all around the ring.

>>21309425
didn't he tried to do it and yoh rolled away or was another move?

i knew it

>>21309432
he was calling him

YOH is such a fucking shitter, man
Just let El Desperado farm defences forever

>>21309191
He's not a miracle worker. They wanna use him like Despy where he's utility to boost Korakuen but not defend on any big shows. Looks like he's gonna be "break in case of emergency" for Ryogoku now though

>>21309442
i see. but between today and yesterday the attendance was below the standard so i wonder if its just because these were weekday shows or anything else

There's no colder ticket right now than a New Japan B/C show. Even Stardom rolls better than they do.

Naito won

>>21309461
they just had the final of n-1 and they barely reached 2k at Yoyogi Stadium, IDK man

>>21309472
They are amicably doing that number and an increase for the N-1 overall without constant outside intervention. Even more with Stardom, who just put their most worthless belts on 3 shitters and moved on with their business.

Tanahashi must step down

Sorry, Jamal’s. No room on Naito’s ark.

Great show, based as usual

The MJF stuff is interesting. I am curious if he is willing to lose outside of America because frankly, he should lose this match.

dare i say grim
