Like seriously, shouldn't Tanahashi and Okada get a fair amount of credit towards steadying and revitalising wrestling in Japan?

Tanahashi & Nakamura basically carried New Japan on their backs through the dark pre-Bushiroad years of the '00s, & then Tanahashi more or less sacrificed the end of his prime to put over Okada so New Japan had the future secured. He was unbelievably selfless, & not just by pro-wrestling standards. If you don't like watching the New Japan main event style of the Tanahashi & Okada eras then whatever, it's a matter of taste. But denying their absolute importance to the company's recovery is exceedingly silly. Gedo & Bushiroad rightly deserve a lot of credit but Tanahashi essentially moulded the current New Japan in his image

Yeah, Tanahashi isn't the only person involved in modern NJPW being a success but it wouldn't of been without him. He was a company man at a time where being one was actively hurting him because the company was doing real bad.

Big Mad because Kenny and the Bucks formed their own company instead of spearheading a NJPW USA expansion I think.

Blessing this thread with the non-erotic Su Yung fanfic I accidentally read and now you have to.quote:Once upon a time (because isn't that always how these things start? There was a beautiful young girl named Suzie, who lived in a village in the mountains of rural Japan. Suzie was a sweet, shy, virtuous young girl, the most beautiful in her village, and some said, all of Japan.

TV Zombie posted:I dunno. I thought that was ok "Now, your debt is forgiven," the yakuza said, and beheaded Suzies father. With a sudden inspiration, he dipped his finger into the wound his katana had made in Suzies side, and wrote "Bloody Dead Bride" on her twitching leg, with it. Then, satisfied at his handiwork, he and his men left the now desecrated chapel.

So there IS one other thing that the Unofficial NJPW USA Fan Club guy or whatever his name is might be referring to: The rumor that NJPW office was pissed at The Elite in large part over them shooting the official AEW announcement in their hotel in Tokyo and right outside the Tokyo Dome because they found it incredibly disrespectful in a very Japanese businessman-y way. That NJPW flew them there, NJPW put them up in the hotel, and NJPW was who was running the Tokyo Dome that week, so the video being shot the way it was came off to management as a disrespectful taunt. Knowing how the NJPW office can be about grudges ("loving JEFF JARRETT AND TNA!"), it's certainly realistic if nothing else.
