In that they are promotions with their own style, yes they are comparable as is literally every other promotion ever. We know what AJPW Shingo and NJPW Shingo look like because he has a whole Champion Carnival run to go off. I loved the match but people who don't enjoy the NJPW big match style do exist.

There's not liking New Japan big match style & then there's being a big performative New Japan hater and the latter is extremely stupid wrestling fan opinion territory.

Okay but that's a lot to read into a tweet and isn't Robert at all. For what it's worth, Robert hates pretty much anything that goes over twenty minutes and actually ended up liking this specific match

Bushi isn't comparing NJPW to WWE, they're pointing out that WWE has A LOT of matches with wrestlers where we've seen the match before outside of WWE and it's almost always better outside of WWE. WWE is the poster child for having the same wrestlers in a different promotion providing a much higher quality match.

For example, I dunno if Dean Ambrose ever would've shouted YOU THINK I'M SCARED OF YOU, MOTHERFUCKER at one of his opponents.

If someone's opinion is completely opposite of the one I put there then they still understand the idea of one promotion having better matches with the same wrestlers as another promotion.

Speaking of Charlotte, people are starting to point out after last night that she is loving terrible at selling. Naturally this pissed off parts of reddit.






Please disregard the fact that much bigger people have sold for smaller people. Look at Brock. He sold like hell for Rey Mysterio and Finn Balor. Given he still won, but at least he actually SOLD for them. Big Show, and even the Great Khali even sold more for the people they faced.

Not a regular watcher, so YMMV in regards to my opinion, but is she usually that boring on the mic? Like when she's whooing like her dad, it just sounds so flat and robotic to me, and hearing the announcers practically tripping over their feet singing her praises and extolling her virtues made her seem like a Sable that could wrestle.

I remember some stuff from her start in NXT that she really didn't want to just do her dad's poo poo. If that's the case I don't really blame her for not being into it. If I remember right they didn't play up the full on Flair stuff until later in her time in developmental.

Chris Regal ran TNAMecca, a TNAsylum offshoot that felt TNAsylum was too negative. Chris was suffering from cancer and one day Chris' brother posted that Chris had died. The brother who didn't really like wrestling would start watching and posting with the TNAMecca community, eventually becoming a fan of TNA, because who couldn't be. People began suspecting that something was up and it came out that the brother was in fact Chris Regal.

Then some wrestling fan faked having cancer to run a Gofundme scam and Chris Regal popped up on twitter to make fun of her.
