Sad to see that AEW's most famous wrestler is a freak, won't be watching NXT after learning that.

Why do all these guys who marked out hard enough for WWE programming when they were kids that they wanted to grow up to be wrestlers have strong feelings about WWE? Hard to say.

he's a guy about my brother's age who grew up watching two guys from his literal hometown be megasuperstars on top of the world in the wwf, like, theres some people where im honestly like "yeah, i can see why this is the dream destination, for sure" like it or hate it lol. ppl are complicated.

(Genuinely) hosed up if true, I just reflexively felt like posting about some guy's baptism as evidence that he's a bad guy felt like r/atheism, but I have no idea if he's really a bad guy or not.

Hopefully they let Tozawa not be just a comedy gimmick. If they book the Gable heel turn well enough, Tozawa breaking free and beating him could do a lot to fix his credibility that they ruined with all the terrible gimmicks they've given him.

its so depressing. akira tozawa was the coolest guy in the world when he came into wwe. he had such a connection with a crowd that he could get a whole arena chanting along with him anywhere in the world. and he did so many badass moves and had kickass matches.

they have just absolutely ruined him beyond belief. they did a tajiri on him, fivefold

Asuka. I don't think you can really argue Nakamura has been used to close to his potential considering how high that was. But they have managed to not completely gently caress up Kairi, Asuka & Iyo so far.

They probably used KENTA about as well as they could considering he was broken down by the time he joined them.

Nak had high potential in New Japan and actually sometimes won matches that mattered

Yeah it’s a bummer.

Tajiri was always my boy and even when he was at his dipshittiest I always felt like if the switch ever got flipped he was still the goddamn Buzzsaw

Tozawa never got to catch that kind of aura outside of 205 live iirc

Remember when it felt like WWE had turned a corner on how they booked Japanese wrestlers when they had Nakamura and Asuka both win at the 2018 Royal Rumble but then they both lost at Wrestlemania?
