Not even right on the lay up as while the Jags have had a bad off season they're not even close the worst ownership what with Cal McNair handing over control to his franchise to Religious Zealot and are chasing their generation QB out of town

2. Bryan Alvarez begging Dave Meltzer not to argue with him.

Fair, though it should be mentioned that Mecca was only ever like 15-18 people, total. I guess this is just the one guy though.

There’s a subsection of English speaking NJPW fans that are gatekeepers. The NJPW subreddit has some, but not really a majority. There was a recent thread with some praise for Harold because he was the only thing holding back the bad western influence and the wrong kind of US fans. The ingredients for that type of fan to exist are all there, it’s a much less accessible product and it presents itself differently from the “mainstream” product.

I have not really encountered those kinds of fans at any live US NJPW shows I’ve been to however.

That was certainly a roadblock into me getting into Japanese stuff, particularly joshi being a subset of the thing which can be even worse. "Lookit the maroon asking about WAVE when he hasn't sat outside the arena all night watching through opera glasses waiting for Yumi Ohka to come out like a REAL fan, amirite fellers?"

This is one of the things I'm most glad about with this forum. The default attitude here to a new person wanting to join in with the fandom is to love-bomb them with welcome and info and enthusiasm, to the point where it's almost intimidating in the other direction. We love this stuff and we want other people to love it too.

Look, I know you want to watch Omega vs. Okada and that's great, you just need to watch these 14 matches and these 17 backstage interviews along the way to get the full context.

Now, sit down for a sec and let me explain to you the difference between a running Destino and a standing Destino.
