To be done with all this measuring of proof.

Hugely ironic thing to say about Will Ospreay who vacated his title! Must be parody! Won't be parody.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
i want to know what Ospreay's plan should be if he were to leave New Japan because he had to do the job for Kenny Omega

go to WWE? surely a great move for someone with that hypothetical level of ego. I had to put Kenny over in the first match of what is inevitably going to be a series, better go to WWE so I can go 50/50 with Top Dolla, but at least I'm in The Big Leagues!

I'm sure Omega and Ospreay will never meet again and the IWGP US title will remain in AEW for the rest of time.

If he went to WWE he would add at least 10 years to his career by mostly sitting in catering instead of landing on his head and neck, seems like a good idea tbh

Part of what makes Leslie interesting is he has some unique takes on things and not just in a hot take way, but with this he's just ignoring the basics of what happens on TV.

They don't want you video taping but New Japan has no problem with people taking pictures. You see lots of cell phones and proper cameras at events taking pictures

(Also people tape events it's how we have camcorder tapings of early G1's that weren't on TV)

Pretty much without fail, Cagematch users rating 5/10 or 6/10 to Kenny/Ospreay only have current WWE and/or 90s All Japan matches rated 10/10.

Why would you desire bad things to Kenny if you're not Ace Steel?

His entire profile are dumb tweets in that format and hurts to read. Both because the takes and the caps on every word. I spoiled it for everyone so I'm the only one with that trauma.

Judging by their other review comments it's most likely people whose trajectory was WWF growing up > ECW as early teens edgelords > someone forced some Misawa/Kobashi tapes on them in the 2000s during WWE's lull period > back to WWE and stayed there. I used to know a lot of people like that; a bunch of people on the boards of a site I used to write for would acknowledge that the classic international stuff was amazing, mostly as a bandwagon because everyone said so at the time, but wouldn't go beyond that to seek anything out.
