Riddle is absolutely gonna be sticking around and probably in the G1 unless he gets kicked out of Japan. I'm confused why there wasnt any follow up with Ziggler vs Finlay

NJ Cup winner is gonna challenge the new Global title i bet

i believe the LIJ vs J5G Gauntlet is tonight?

I remember playing some Japanese wrestling games that had Team vs Team matches that I assumed were like Survivor Series style matches but it was literally a tournament kind of style where the winner of each match keeps going until the other team is completely eliminated

I already told you guys, finlay dropped the midcard title so he can become iwgp champion to legitimize bullet club again. its why they're winning all the other titles again

but yes anniversary show

jack perry has like no charisma as a singles act and is doing a very try hard gimmick at the moment tied into the cm punk drama and some people want to move on. its very cringe.

also david finlay is winning the new japan cup

edit: i dont know if i missed it but it sounds like Minoru Suzuki is done in New Japan

lmao every idea a western fan has is put the belt on my fave non-japanese wrestler

I mean Gedo's gonna put it on his new pet project THE REBEL DAVID FINLAY so why shouldnt it go on an actually better non japanese wrestler even if he is part time.

like 8 of the 13 titles are on non japanese talent and of the tag teams all of them are non japanese besides kenta who is teaming with chase loving owens

With Mox being off AEW TV for unspecified reasons I'm really thinking he's winning and tony was trying not run him ragged/risking him getting hurt by having tv matches/an aew ppv build to do

perry leaning into that chant to do a choke hold is A+ playing to the crowd and playing up the situation.

however positive vibes to the scapegoat gimmick, a gimmick that is very much just a heel character questions where jack would go when/if the punk stuff blows over and people stop caring

As much as the forum would prefer it to be the former, it's almost definitely the latter.

its a lot of the former too, he's gotten cold reactions at decent amount of the indie shows he's done

This is a real test of Moxley's drawing power, He himself has been Good to Great In the US and seems to be good in the one off Mexico match (2 others big ex wwe names too) so the real test is if he's on top and actually doing Japan dates is how those draw.

Mox Office Draw


SG Bamboo posted:

Agreed.

There's no chance i'll be as annoyed as the last time New Japan gave Moxley a belt, so theres that at least

last two times Moxley held IWGP gold a typhoon took his title away and then covid happened

Aew, after covid is the worst thing to ever happen to njpw. Now I get to watch Stardom follow the same path of surrendering their dignity to Tony Kahn. Just great

that's partially new japan/bushiroads fault too. too cheap to pay their top guys

NJPW realizing that maybe a young lion doesnt need to gently caress around with excursions when they're already in their or near their 30s is good. Fujita just lucked out since he's 21

Great O Khan and Yuya Uemura announced their stipulations the fans will vote on for their KOPW match https://www.f4wonline.com/news/new-japan/great-o-khan-yuya-uemura-present-kopw-stipulations-for-road-to-dontaku

Yuya:
Best of 3 falls, catch rules. No strikes allowed, grapples/throws/submissions only. 61 minute time limit. Loser buys 20 of Hiroshima's famous oysters for the winner

GOK:
Rural Revitalization 2. Best of 3 falls, no time limit. First fall is Mazda Tire Carrying Contest (whoever can bring 4 tires of the world-famous Hiroshima's own Mazda car to the ring first wins); second is Hiroshima Lemon Eating Contest. Third fall, if it comes to that, is a table match. If Yuya loses, he must buy 100 lemons, and drive a Mazda going forward

First one sounds like a better match but second sounds funnier hmmm
