Thread 18008717

Gabe Kidd representing the King of Sports New Japan Pro Wrestling.

Real graps

Did he skip the day where he was supposed to learn how to bump

>>18008717 (OP)
Yeah, so?
He missed a high risk maneuver. That's why it's called high risk.
He'd have missed if pro-wrestling was real as well.

>>18008717 (OP)
he's so fat

>>18008717 (OP)
even if that landed it's clearly worse on the person doing the move than the one receiving it

>>18008717 (OP)
I'm not even sure what he was going for. Why not just drop a knee?

>>18008717 (OP)
What happened to his look

>>18008717 (OP)
>Works for AEW
>Becomes shit

>>18008717 (OP)
thats karl anderson

>>18008717 (OP)
literally everything about this is bad.

>>18008717 (OP)
When did he get so fat?

>>18008717 (OP)
you can tell he jacked his spine up so bad

>>18008717 (OP)
It's a flying backwards headbutt and it's literally dimes guys

>>18008717 (OP)
Who convinced him to get the Eddie Kingston build?

>>18009352
>a flying backwards headbutt

let me guess his gimmick is
-HOME COUNTRY- STRONG STYLE

>>18009338
When he started associating with AEW

>>18008717 (OP)
What a fucking shitter

>>18008743
why'd the other guy fall if he missed???

>>18008717 (OP)
They call that the AEW effect

>>18009349
Good. Hopefully he has to retire early

>>18008717 (OP)
Why are heavyweights doing cruiserweight spots?

>>18008717 (OP)
Isn't this guy a shoot tranny?

>IMMAFOOKINMADM-ACK !
Gaped Klitt is a dimeless shitter

>>18009362
Eddie's nut demon possessed Gabe

>>18008717 (OP)
Inoki must be ashamed

>>18008878
Too many late nights with sponsors.

Posting in a Pole-kun schizo thread just to trigger his autism!

SHINGO BANGERINO... GAPED KLITT! TRANNYHASHI! TONIKHAN!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is the future of puroresu there's no hope for the wrestling world

>>18011610
NJPW went from having shoot Olympians as top foreigners to a fat chav from Nottingham.

>>18011610
NJPW's future has been looking bleak for the last 5 years or so. It's hitting just about rock bottom with this 5'3 fake tough guy retard

>>18008717 (OP)
I don't watch NJPW is this guy always shit or was this a rare occurrence?

>>18012566
He was a Meltzer flavor of the month for exactly one month then everyone forgot about this shitter

>>18011358
is this supposed to look like a karrion kross match?

>>18012617
Meltzer already found a new toy? Is it Speedball?

>>18008717 (OP)
I hate this faggot so much. The wrong wardog retired

>>18008717 (OP)
He's is pretty much in AEW anyways. Couldn't care less about this shitter anymore. Just finish up New Japan and fuck off asap. I will just skip all his NJPW matches from now on.

NJPW is being carried by Goto Revolution right now. They don't even have anyone else on the current roster who is as over as Goto. They need to work really hard to build up Tsuji or Uemura in this G1 so that either one of them can eventually take the title from Goto. Anyone else ending Goto's reign would be a downgrade. Though I expect they are going to crown Takeshita instead. NJPW is just retarded.

>>18012701
NJPW is dead

>>18012629
If it was, it would be 2 times more boring.

>>18012710
Trannyhashi killed it

>>18012710
It is still on life support. Wrestlers like Goto are keeping it alive. The future looks grim though. Shota failed. Narita failed even harder. Tsuji alone cannot do shit. Uemura has potential to be a huge babyface but they are too busy kissing up to AEW guys like Gabe and Takeshita. The future is really NJPW being the AEW slave company.tt

Honestly makes me wonder at this point if they should have partnered with WWE instead. If NJPW was going to be a slave company no matter what then it might as well have been for WWE. It seems to have went well for TNA and AAA. Being an AEW slave just seems to have zero merit. Tony probably bribed the fuck out of someone in Bushiroad.

>>18012710
It died August 29, 2020

>>18012710
It died the moment they gave that shitter EVIL the belt years ago. From that exact moment NJPW went completely ice cold and never recovered since.

>>18010096
He connected with the back of his head. Also, he hit the mat and that's enough to make japanman fall the top of the rope

>>18010096
He got caught in the slipstream

>>18012862
Kek

>>18010096
ki burst

>>18009349
which blurry pixel is suppose to be gabe kidd?

>>18012710
It died when Inoki sacrificed Hashimoto to get Naoya 'the shitter' Ogawa over.
NJPW wrestlers getting creamed in PRIDE and Takahashi's series of books exposing pro wrestling and explaining how everything was done finished it off.

>>18012710
the Tony Khan effect

>>18008743
Dont engage the e-drones, they are pissed he chose to not be turned into a farting clown on their show.

>>18012710
To be fair NJPW started dying before AEW was even a thing. Ospreay and Okada were leaving regardless even if they didn't go to AEW. Just like AJ and Nakamura were a few years prior. New Japan's failure to create any new top level stars in something close to a decade is entirely on them

>>18011370
Leave the ace out of this anon. He did his fair share for the downfall of NJPW, but he still doesnt deserve this slander.

>>18012710
Afraid so

At least we got Gayto boys! Best champion in wrestling at the moment. Capable of hacking it just when the roster becomes severely diminished. Gayto Revolution!

>>18012960
>Takahashi's series of books exposing pro wrestling
QRD? Like is this some Eddie Mansfield shit?

>>18012717
even more boring than that?

>Another e-drones pretend to care about NJPW thread
boring

>>18013476
It was. Takahashi was the star referee for NJPW during it's glory days and then randomly wrote a trilogy of books explaining how everything was done. The first was called 'blood magic'. His thesis in the third book was that they should openly admit to being fake and do goofy shit to be accepted as entertainment instead of attracting a sports audience.

>>18013329
The Bullet Club civil war was the canary in the coal mine that the golden age was over, the AEW influx of faggotry only sped up the cancer

>>18013901
That is a dope af book cover. Looks like Kerry Von Erich

>>18013965
You're not wrong. I think more than anything that predates that was how reliant NJPW had become on gaijin. It's always good to have a few strong names around. But between AJ, Cody, Kenny, Switchblade, Ospreay, and even to an extent Mox and Jericho, it felt like New Japan was becoming far too reliant on them during those years. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that those names aren't there to be fixtures on the roster. At absolute best you'll get 5 or so years. Yet NJPW kept devoting their world title scene to them over and over and over and over. Meanwhile Tanahashi, Okada, Naito, Suzuki, etc are all getting older and older and slowing down more and more. So now not only are all the gaijin gone but so are all the Japanese talent and thus Evil becomes world champion

>>18014005
Grim

>>18014005
Gedo’s fault for pushing Reiwa Inoki for 3 years

Biggest fall off of 2025. Talked endless shit of aew only to job to Kenny and go to aew. No aura left.

This guy's facial reactions are dogshit. Just look at his eyes, he is 100% as clueless as he comes across whenever he says anything.

I've watched every match of Gabe's since his debut with NJPW.
I watched every match during the COVID years when he was stuck in Japan and it was just him and Tsuji as Young Lions for the longest time.
I've watched every match he's had since his return to excursion, even most of the matches he's had outside of NJPW.

This is the first significant botch of his career.
Could be 5 years before we see another one. Pretty good ratio honestly.

>>18014480
It's over for him. Anyone that goes to AEW becomes shit.

>>18014502
Pretty sure he worked AEW bookings last year during BOSJ too, didn't he? Definitely wasn't his first AEW match

ctrl+f aew
>16 results
obsessed lmao

>>18008717 (OP)
There's never been a good version of this spot. And wrestlers I like try different ways, but they're all bad.

>>18008717 (OP)
Why couldn't have been him? Alex was so much more of a draw.

>>18008717 (OP)
Didn't get all of it

>>18013901
Interesting. Talk about forcing your opinion, kek. Are these translated?
