Rarity posted:New Japan COVID booking has given us: All the bullshit evil interference, Okada being horrendous all year phoning in stinkers, the alright kinda okahn, having tekkers job to GOD. Basically ibushi, Naito and Suzuki are the only thing stopping it from being unwatchable since ishii isn't allowed to win anything. They need to give the ibushi institute for advanced wrestling idiocy the book. Either that or Sanshiro

Okada is the Hulk Hogan of njpw, nobody else has such a catastrophic drop off in quality when the crowds disappeared. Some like Suzuki even managed to improve

JUNGLE BOY posted:they do hate each other, the cult leader is dave meltzer who plays them against each other, and who don callis is based off of The whole meltzer thing is really starting to fall apart post that report on figure 4 about the ratings breakdowns showing women actually tuned in in droves for the Britt/Rosa match and arcade anarchy. Basically the entire arcade anarchy show was sabotaged by the boring old man wwe style wrestling time that stunk up the first half hour. He's about as out of touch as all the boomers due to his 'what women want from wrestling' sources being over 50s women who started watching in the 80s.

MassRafTer posted:Women did not tune in in droves for Britt/Rosa, it wasn't even the high point of the night for women and that was the quarter where NXT tied for its best quarter with women. They were down with women for the week too. The show did not perform well with women. AEW was oddly very strong with women last summer when the women's division got the least attention. Bryan was talking about this on WOL after debating the validity of Dave's ideas about booking. Paul Fontaine had actually gone through all the metrics and compared year on year and segment by segment and the idea women are being turned off isn't correct. The viewers per home is down but the number of homes is slightly up and the 34-49 women is stable. The women loss is entirely below 34 and is consistent across every wrestling show, not just dynamite so it's an industry problem not a booking problem.

Britt is actually the nega-flair because instead of murdering people constantly she is getting murdered. If she wanted to be a good champion like flair she should chase after a concussed riho trying to get her poo poo in.

MJeff posted:Guys like Hangman, Trent and Lance Archer decided that getting paid more money over a longer, more stable contract, a fraction of the travel, fewer dates (and thus fewer bumps) and a much, much higher ceiling to their stardom was probably a better move for their career and a handful of NJPW fans have never forgiven them for it. Gedo is doing a fantastic job of running off all the gaijins.

Which, to be fair, they have so far. They only push like one or two gaijin at an actual high level and the rest are just midcarders, so. Let's use Osprey to get the great o Khan over! Let's use Jay White to get evil and dick Togo over! Wait why are you guys leaving

Penguin Patrol posted:it was either veer or shanky, i remember hearing something about how they have an insanely inspirational true story that WWE has never told us MLB had a talent scouting expedition to India and he was a poor kid who with no training and terrible form managed to be one of the hardest throwers they had ever seen. He was offered a contract and became the first Indian to play professional baseball and spent a couple of years in the minors. The tv show of the talent search and also the movie was million dollar arm. Dave did a bit on him on won last week and how dumb it was to not use it as a great base for a baby face.

Ganso Bomb posted:I don't know... they're not really all that wrong? It's the same thing everyone here has said for years – main roster WWE constantly devalues NXT to the point that you start to lose the desire to even watch it, because you know the people you enjoy are just going to end up eating dogshit in a year. If Vince will even do that to a big strong muscle man then it means NXT really is worthless.

Okada can never be the greatest due to the Ric flair test. Can you get a good match out of a broom. I would extend this to any inanimate object and observe these results: Omega: sex doll Ibushi: sex doll, teddy bear Ishii: Honma Unfortunately for Okada, despite being more closely related to a crab than a human, Marty Scurll is still animate.
