>>18041496
It would be Newman/Oiwa and Drilla/Chase

They call it "House of Torture" because their matches are so torturous they make you want to set your house on fire.

>>18041391 (OP)
Why is there a laser travelling between Ishii and Newman's heads?

>>18041401
I'm just looking at the Tanahashi Jam card and it actually looks like a lot of fun. Fuck TV Asahi.

The best thing about Fale being revealed as X is the excitement and energy he brings to the ring.

>>18044880
Gotta love the Rogue Generalmeister. The Underbossester, baby.

Who do you guys think will be the IWGP HebbyQ champ after Wrestle Kingdom?

>>18044147
A U R A

Harold tried to save NJPW and you hate him for it

>>18045215
I'm going to bet Tsuji.

If he is up for carrying it is another question entirely though

>>18045215
It's going to be Tsuji but he'll flop. He won't be booed like Umino but he lost a lot of aura these last few months and he's not getting it back.

Harold Meij was the only person to ever debut FULLY NUDE in New Japan Pro Wrestling history.

how many times are you just going to bait and talk to yourself about harold

it's just sad and pathetic to watch you get ignored, so take this post i guess

>>18045792
Who is pinning Goto in the G1 and getting the Destruction/KOPW title matches? I'm guessing EVIL and Uemura.

>>18045963
Do I get to rail Hiromu?

>>18046391
no, hiromu is for riding only

>>18045215
No matter who gets it, it will still be grim.

>>18046349
kek

>>18045215
Should be Goto, will be Tsuji
>>18046201
Evil is definitely one, Yuya or Oiwa makes sense as the other because Tsuji is winning the G1 and Finlay/Tana/Newman already got their shots this year

What if the point of Hontai vs. HoT is to have Goto face Evil at the dome. That would unquestionably be the most grim shit Never Japan has ever done. They might even think they could get away with it because of Tanahashi's retirement.

Is that SOUL show happening tonight?

>>18047279
who would you have him face then? bloata tsuji? uminodimes? jeong mosque? another tanahashi match?

>>18047297
The one with the Honma vs Tanahashi match is tonight yeah

>>18047279
Nah. I could see a title match in the Fall, but HoT is capped at the Global belt. I expect EVIL/SANADA to win World Tag League and that be their position at the Dome.

>>18047344
Cool I'm off work so I can actually take part in the gamethread for once

>>18047333
IDK. The problem is they are clearly scared trust the young guys after the Umino dome showcase.
>>18047382
Not so sure anymore. They seem really intent on making the company revolve around them. I could see them in the HebbyQ scene.

>>18047426
Maybe. If they were to go that heavy I think it would be a big sign of changing times. Not in a shitposting/grim way but an actual business strategy to go more entertainment than wrestling. Having HoT stuff all over a show is not a crazy idea - Bullet Club, Chono’s factions and even early CHAOS had shenanigans that would be showcased repeatedly in a single event. The difference is that it would all falter during the biggest events. Naito won his first world title by cheating, but it was at Sakura Genesis.

>>18047989
Heels cheating has never bothered me. It is this comical song and dance where the referees look like absolute morons and we have 70 run-ins per match. Maybe it was like this in the past too(I'm not as familiar with the old stuff), but the way HoT goes about there business is just not fun to watch.

>>18048763
It's crazy that New Japan ended at Wrestle Kingdom 14. Whatever happened to that company anyway?

>>18048763
no lies detected but when you're a billionaire pet project it doesn't matter

>>18047279
I'm not ruling anything out, especially after this weird as fuck first half with guys and stories that seemed like they were obviously going somewhere and didn't, chiefly Umino among them. However right now Tsuji and Takeshita stick out the most for the Dome with Uemura in the mix.. Though I guess you have to keep in mind the G1 isn't automatically a Dome ticket like it had been for a while, it could still be the precedent but Zack last year showed they are willing to mix it up (frankly I prefer the G1 being it's own accomplishment).

It's grim out there folks, it's absolutely grim. In fact, that's why I'm giving Fake President Tanahashi (who stole the election, by the way!) two weeks to meet my good friend's - and he's really a good friend, isn't he - to meet my good friend's EVIL's demands or I will take drastic action!

I kinda wish New Japan would just jump the shark and give up on any pretense on being like it used to so I can know it's time to move on to watching something else. This year has been a yo-yo of quality.

>>18048123
It looked like there's some change in formula during BOSJ with SHO now having mostly solo matches buy Dominion killed that hope. We'll see with the G1.

Now that we know he's dropping the belt in the semi main of a show we won't be able to watch, can we can all agree that this is his best defense?

>>18050362
Maybe it is just because vibes were so awful, but nah I preferred the Callum defense the most followed by Finray. Shingo would be number 3 for me.

>>18049691
I think this is a make or break G1. They are gonna be in those shitty looking venues with the house lights on with an A block that looks real dire. It's hard to imagine it not ending up a disaster. Plus BOSJ's booking sucked with all the parity. I doubt they are gonna rocket ship someone here. I have zero faith in their booking right now.

>>18050362
he's obviously beating the V12 record

I got worked by Tanahashi's 10 point plan so hard bros. I thought New Japan was actually going to focus on young wrestlers and reduce interference. Silly me. Maybe Evil is the true president after all.

Another G1 without Toru Yano? I blame Tony Khan...
>>18050521
They need to establish some more stars. This could be a great opportunity. It's like every booker in every company is too afraid to make any bold decisions and it's killing wrestling.

>>18050521
I had 0 problem with BOSJ's parity especially seeing MAO and Dia do so well as guests. It wasn't a field filled with Makabes or Yujiros or Yanos they were trying to put on the level of everyone else (just a Robbie X and even he did fine) and they don't run that type of booking often so it was whatever for me. It's obvious Tana is gonna be put through the wringer pointswise.

>>18050622
>I thought New Japan was actually going to focus on young wrestlers
they literally are? how did you type this with your monitor turned off?

>>18050660
Who just main evented what is suppose to be there 2nd or 3rd biggest show of the year? What were Umino and Uemura doing on it? Gee whiz I can't wait for Tsuji to get into the playoffs on 10 points that will really leave a lasting impression on people just like with Fujita squeaking by with 40 ties.

>>18049691
So far DOUKI has wrestled like his Suzuki-gun self, which is basically an active and crisp but less theatrical version of his J5G era style. He’s not going about it like SHO, who now fights frightened in-between a brawling style. That may change but it’s an interesting start so far.

>>18050521
>>18050630
I actually thought it was a great BOSJ this year and better than I expected

>>18050721
You can critique how but you're not even reading results off cagematch muchless watching if you're pretending they're not pushing people. Just because they have a 40 year-old with tons of fanfare guarding the ship for the time being doesn't negate the up-and-down influence of all the young guys getting moved up objectively. Again, turn your monitor on

After seeing how it took Takeshita literally leaving DDT on a full-time basis to actually get a clue after 5 years of being pushed like Hulk Hogan to dead crowds, I have no issue with them not superman pushing everyone under 35 just because they're under 35.
The balance in BOSJ was just a tad bit off but the Jrs aren't in any dire state so I can forgive it.

>>18050961
Tsuji has been an upper mid carder since his return. (And is less hot than his return match again Sanada) Umino is being downcycled. Ren is a nonstarter and Uemura is also doing nothing. Maybe he'll be gifted his win back in the G1 in night 6 3rd from the top in farmville. Oiwa has not done a singular thing since returning aside beating Yoshi-Hashi that one time. Oleg is the only guy who has made definitive upwards momentum.

No catch in hell, but I did like psycho Narita in the cage match and would love to see him played more chaotic and dangerous. Literally the only thing I remember about the match is his bloody face.

They should have Taichi join HoT and beat Newman so he can reunite with all his old friends.

>>18051295
>Literally the only thing I remember about the match is his bloody face.
Same. I really like HoT Narita. I wish he would receive more single focus.

>>18051369
>Let’s just have random people joining random factions for the memes
WCW-tier of grim.

>>18050753
There were plenty of great matches, the parity is the biggest complaint I've seen and I agree.

>>18051104
I mean DDT to NJPW is hardly 1:1. If you were to take Okada out of history and try to supplement him and his role with a guy now I think Takeshita would be the unanimous choice.

>>18051154
You forgot Gabe but I can understand if you're writing him off as having gone through his AEW audition

Tsuji/Ultimo Guerrero was awesome

>>18050362
Finray > Shingo > Newman > Tana > Nagata > the US shit

>>18050496
It was the one match on the show where the vibes weren't awful though

The IWGP (joshi) is now in the hands of the Reiwa She-noki

>>18053865
We do not care.

>>18053899
She's gonna defend it at G1 Final to help whatever GRIM final they booked that couldn't sell tickets so you should.

>>18053865
She is factually dimeless as every Inoki wannabe but she has nice thighs and I want to have sex with her, therefore this is not grim.

>>18053917
Still don't care.

>>18053917
> GRIM GRIM GRIM GRIM
Can you end your life please?

Nujamals don't appreciate their joshi sisters like Noahomies do

Hontai is beating TMDK's ass on every show. Zack's 100% winning the belt back

>>18054211
I dare someone to name one stable better

>>18054338
For the love of all that is grim, what am I looking at here?

>>18053865
Inoki must be proud

>>18054338
Not taking the loss well huh lice

>our worst posters are also joshipedos
Why am I not surprised. Now that's ACTUALLY grim.

>>18051425
He’s not 30 yet, so if he stays healthy, they have at least another 10 years to try with him.

how do we ungrim ourselves

>>18051369
that has to be the worst idea i have ever seen on this godforsaken forum
>>18055074
taichi jav

God, I'm gonna be SO PISSED when House of Torture does their dastardly antics to influence the outcome of the match and possibly put the ref in a coma for two minutes! Stop cheating!!

>>18055074
Taichi in the G1 would be a good start, unfortunately they're grooming Gayman to be the next Assplay

Taichi in the House makes sense he can turn on Taka and join up with Sanada and Dokui. Maybe consider bringing back the iron fingers. Ideally he should start by having bad G1 matches on purpose and beating up Newman. They is how we start to ungirm New Japan.

>>18055074
EVIL wins G1

Newman complaining about people discussing his contract status in the post-match comments of Dominion was hilarious. I’ve never heard one word about him signing elsewhere, and here he is saying that he’s tired of the AEW talk. Brother you just jump started it as if anybody cares if you leave.

>>18055074
Yuya wins the G1, dethrones Goto at the Dome, and leads Hontai to victory in a stable must disband match against House of Torture

>>18056189
he's trying to get some attention to get that tonikan toybox paycheck

>>18056189
Wow you faggots really watch everything. But yes it is pretty funny for Newman to say that. And I also don't get why there is so much hate for Newman when he is still pretty young and little for baloney who is like 5 years older and hasn't done shit to be in the g1 either

I don't care how grim current NJPW is. It's my only escapism from my tragic reality so I'll keep religiously watching and enjoying it.

>>18056350
maybe because Newman is dollar store Ospreay and Drilla has a clear style of his own with distinct promo ability

>>18056189
Lol. Lmao even. Ospreay's (white) son is trying to leave already as if he wasn't just coming out of a pseudo Youn Lion status last year. NO MORE GAIJINS. If New Japan really wants to persist bring guys in for a tour or two and have them put someone over.

Time to break the CMLL glass

For every 1 Jap who leaves there are about 10 gaijins who leave. Simple Steiner match really.

>>18056189
he must lurk here

>>18056410
How grim your life is if Grim Japan is your escapism?

>>18056549
*math

>>18056495
Yeah but I'm guessing that's new Japan's fault and I will blame them if Newman doesn't at least become a decent midcarder. Wow and you couldn't name a single baloney match. I don't give a fuck about promos and it's weird that you faggots do

>>18056650
Did you want match suggestions? Go to leddit bitch

>>18056495
>Drilla
Shame about him sucking, though.

Drilla is not a good singles wrestler. He was at his best getting carried by Clark in junior tags desu. His one good singles match is against Shingo. This is why we are allowed to keep him. Maybe he will have a good G1, but im not holding my breath.

>>18056886
Go back to Twitter tranny

>>18057001
putting Call'em Woman in the G1 instead of Taichi really makes New Japan worthy of being called the King Of Grim indeed

>>18057084
I dare you to name one wrestler out of new japan better than callum you fucking retard

>>18057121
Chase Owens

>>18056495
Newman has better singles tbqh

>>18057121
Jado

>>18056962
All this talk and I’ll just say how sad for Connors. He is great but will never matter because he’s stuck as a junior.

>>18057185
I’m being wholeheartedly sincere and genuine when I say watching current Jado wrestling is more entertaining than watching Callcum and Numan.

>>18057260
He is going to AEW anyway so it doesn't matter.

>>18057318
I have it on good authority that everyone but trannies are saying this.

I don't get the Newman hate. I think he is fine. Probably in the bottom half of the heavyweights but not terrible.

>>18057341
hes inoffensive but bland, and being positioned as Ospreay Jr doesn't do him any favors booking wise, nor does it encourage fans to give a damn about him because its expected that its only a matter of time until he leaves
hes Ren Narita before HoT, with an approaching expiration date

>>18057341
dimeless flippy shitter who gets a Grim 1 spot over fan favorite Taichi

>>18057459
He barely flips outside of doing a tope con hilo. That being said blame New Japan for wanting Chase or Yoshi over him.

>>18057341
It's just the new autistic talking point for our resident psychopath

>>18057260
Clark seems like a chill guy but the company needs to stop feeding the deathmatch shitter aesthetic in general. That’s how we got the jr. champ losing to Kasai and having another deathmatch instead of defending against the BOSJ winner.

>>18053865
Remember when they called her Joshitanahashi before she made the jump the E to play a schoolgirl.

>>18057643
IThat's probably just Despy being Despy. Probably wasn't even supposed to be in this position but DOUKI got hurt and they didn't want to elevate another young guy before the BOSJ.

this >>18059641 and this >>18060184 makes new japan even more likely to get the KWABOTY 2025

Don't worry about Jake's welfare. Gabe will put a bug in Tony's ear to get Jake a contract with The Big Leagues (A-E-Dub).

>>18060468
Jade Lee and Gaped Klitt
grim

>>18060184
He lacks any definition despite only injuring a foot

The only people who pretend to like Jake Lee are those who didn't see how dimeless he was as Miyahara's rival and his GLG run. I'd take Sanada over him in a minute and I am no fan of Sanada.

What the fuck happened...

>>18060711
I enjoy him more as a shitposter in house DESU. Still don't want to watch his matches, but at least his entrances are funny.

>>18041894
Their tag team would've started a new boom period

>>18060355
Jake has literally never been "in shape" visually.

I was surprised it wasn't more of a drop off, honestly a credit to how over HoT is with the Japs

>>18061707
Thank you HoT for drawing half of what New Japan used to draw in 2019!

>>18061707
>a credit to how over HoT is
You're welcome bitch

Remember when Rey Mysterio randomly showed up at NJPW? How come there haven't been more of the recently fired WWE talent trying their luck in Japan? They could use it given how terrible their gaijin are.

>>18062099
Many people tried though

>Riddle tried but he wasted it
>Mustafa tried but he didn’t want to job

He was there to give Japanese wrestling the seal of authenticity

Gotta give it to the Chasester. LoneStar Outlaw, baby. Going all the way!

[Grim news] Chono-san (61) showed up in a VTR for the dimeless kickboxing/MMA promotion known as Rise.

What will it take to un-grim NJPW? I'm being serious here. Even if you're a huge NJPW mark you have to admit that NJPW is grim right now.

But the G1 Climax is coming up. This is their chance to make new stars. I remember back in 2016 when WWE stole Styles and Nakamura. Things were looking pretty grim back then. But then Omega won the G1. Naito's LIJ gained more popularity. Things went from grim to great fairly quickly.

I want NJPW to create new stars again. Takeshita and Gabe Kidd are not it. They are AEW contracted talent. I want more NJPW exclusive stars. Is that too much to ask? Are there no NJPW fans left in /njpw/ anymore? Is the only person reading this right now the mentally ill AEW schizo who larps as a NJPW fan?

>>18063588
Not everybody has an irrational hatred for AEW like you anon

the mentally ill schizo is you buddy

>>18063588
>Are there no NJPW fans left in /njpw/
Unironically, yes. If we had the IP count back then you would know that there are maximum 2 or 3 people regularly posting in these threads. One of those posters is mentally ill like you said. He is also running all the joshipedo threads, the guy has no life beyond 4chan.

I think they are giving the G1 to Takeshita this year and schizo-kun will use the "dual contract" cope to defend it. But you are also being stupid when you say you want "NJPW-exclusive" talent. Anybody who gains too much fame and popularity will be picked up by Tony. He signed Okada. Nobody in the NJPW is safe.

>>18063614
>>18063615
Why can't you AEWtists just fuck off? We NJPW fans fucking hate you. Why do you have to invade our safe space? This is why I have always hated AEW. AEWtists are fucking obnoxious. WWE fans maybe retarded but they have never invaded NJPW communities like this.
>>18063625
>I think they are giving the G1 to Takeshita this year
Noo wtf. That would be terrible. I just want NJPW to do well again.

>>18063636
Why do you believe that Gabe is an "AEW contracted talent" you fucking schizo?

>>18063615
We call him Pole-kun around these parts because during the April Fool's event, he posted on /pol/ in the /pw/ thread and revealed his Polish flag.

Oh, and he doesn't just ruin /njpw/, he also ruins joshi threads and is an avid joshipedo waifufag.
He's gotta be top 3 worst posters on this board, right up there with bitchtits.

>>18063643
What would say if Takeshita wins the G1? Answer me this first.

>>18063646
I don't even post on 4chan regularly. I came here searching for a NJPW community because everywhere else is filled with AEWtists. I don't know why you are bringing up this schizo lore.

You can blame the pandemic, you can blame the weak yen, you can blame AEW, you can blame Okada, you can blame some pollock boogeyman. The fact is New Japan is grim right now and nothing will change that.

>>18063636
You aren't a NJPW fan. You're a mentally ill anti-AEW schizo posing as a NJPW fan, and you are cancer.

>>18063663
Don't bother, this is usual stuff. He starts posting his schizo lore anytime someone says anything negative about his beloved Gabe.

>>18063663
Not everybody has an autistic and life-derailing irrational hatred for AEW like you do, anon.

>>18063654
That AEW is grimola and that Trannyhashi killed the nooj and sucked ToniKan's dick yappari shota fucking sucks jeong mosque grim grim grim, is that what you want to hear you fucking faggot?

>>18063666
This guy gets it

Our resident schizo is not a fan of anyone in NJPW. He's the kind of guy that makes hate threads about e-celebs.

>>18063673
that would actually be a good promo

>>18063663
Oh and he's samefagging now. You triggered him. Lol. Go to discord or something if you want a decent NJPW community. These threads are cooked.

>post the same shit for years
>force your gay buzzwords and pet names through spam
>WOW IM NOT ACTUALLY THAT GUY, IT'S... A LOT OF US! THERE'S A WHOLE TEAM OF US POSTING THESE THINGS!
>STOP BEING A SCHIZO MAKING UP LORE!
Not very bright, is he.

>>18063687
I tried discord, it is even more cringe!
I cannot find any NJPW fans who don't ass kiss AEW and AEW talent all the time.
Fuck this fucking sucks.

I want Drilla and Newman to qualify tomorrow, fuck dem Japs.

>>18063696
Drilla and Newman will obviously qualify, anon.

>>18063694
Most people don't share your irrational and attention-seeking hatred of AEW, anon.

>>18063694
New Japan's president is Tony Khan's friend and the biggest heel on the roster is portrayed as a fool who hates AEW. You should try another promotion.

>>18063694
>everywhere I go, everyone calls me a deranged schizo for being unhinged in my hatred of AEW
>every single person! every single community!
...
>but it's they who are wrong, not me! I'm right! They're unhinged!
What kind of person follows this logic model?

>>18063694
Well now you know why people hate AEW. NJPW is pretty much an AEW subsidiary at this point. I actually agree with >>18063705. Try a different promotion or just keep watching old videos of NJPW like I do.

>>18063694
yappari, Shin Nihon is an AEW ass penetrated company

grim

>>18063717
And he has the gall to refer to himself as "We NJPW fans..."

holy yumola

>>18063734
If you watch and enjoy AEW then you are not a NJPW fan! Fuck off. Keep replying to yourself all you want. I almost forgot 4chan has too much samefagging.

>>18063694
>i'm an autistic loser that has been run out of every community ive tried to be a part of!
Why would you admit this? lol

imagine saying this in defense of yourself

>>18063744
Most people don't share your extremely autistic and irrational hatred for AEW, anon.

Ok but aew does absolutely suck balls so my hatred for it isn't irrational

>>18063753
>run out of every community
What made you think of this? I never posted on discord after seeing all the cringe posters there. Do you think you are "running me out" of 4chan too? This was my last resort and you AEWtists are unfortunately here as well. I do like seeing the AEW hate threads on this board, I will stick around in them. Too bad the NJPW threads have cancers like you replying to yourself in here.

>>18063773
I'm not crazy about AEW but your unhinged ranting about it is more annoying to me than AEW's impact on NJPW's booking by far.

>>18063773
It is mostly WWE vs AEW tribalism brainrot here. If you want to pretend to be a WWE fan then you're welcome to stay on /pw/. We don't tolerate AEW hate in this general though.

>>18063777
All I said was that I don't want an AEW contracted talent to win the G1 Climax and you went fucking crazy! You are unhinged, not me. Fuck offffff.

>>18063768
It's irrational because you refuse to allow yourself to enjoy NJPW wrestlers based on the fact that, in other times and places, these wrestlers have also appeared for AEW. And that overrides your ability to enjoy them. Your autistic performative aversion to AEW is not rational. It is also responsible for you derailing this thread and trying to impose your autistic hatred for AEW onto other posters here.

>>18063789
Not that anon. I don't think Takeshita should win the G1 while under dual contract either but that doesn't mean that you're not an unhinged psychopath.

A broken clock is right twice a day.

>>18063789
We want Takeshita to win the G1 Climax because he is the best wrestler in NJPW. Maybe Tsuji could win as well now that he is free of the Global Title but I expect Takeshita to win.

>>18063797
Shut up. You are the one who went crazy because I called Gabe an AEW contracted talent. As if I need to explain why. He is clearly going to be! Ospreay was not AEW contract last year and everyone knew he would be. Just shut up and fuck off. There is no point in having any discussion unless you cut the bullshit.

If Takeshita wins the G1, we will see more of Takeshita because I imagine this would mean he'll be spending more time in Japan to promote Wrestle Kingdom, etc. This is a good thing because Takeshita is great.

There's very little going on with Takeshita in AEW right now and the Callis Family is getting crowded, so I could see Takeshita spending the majority of the remaining year in NJPW.

>>18063808
No, I didn't but I do share that anon's view that you're fucking retarded thoughbeit.

>>18063812
>There's very little going on with Takeshita in AEW right now
That will change once TK realizes that someone else wants to book him

>>18063812
To be fair we don't know what "dual-contract" means and how much Tony can influence NJPW if they wanted to book Takeshita more regularly. But I would be happy if Takeshita wins.

>>18063820
So you admit it then! Fucking hypocrite.

I think it's the right moment to post this.

>>18063839
I admit that you're fucking retarded and also coincidentally wrong, yes.

>>18063839
Yes, there are people in these threads who actively enjoy seeing NJPW getting raped by AEW. I don't know what else to tell you. You are in the wrong place.

>>18063840
it's just not funny and it's tryhard and extremely online. I would be embarrassed to post this.

>if you don't rant and rave about how NJPW sucks all day long in a NJPW fan thread, you're a Bushiroad shill!
The absolute state of reductivist low IQ bait

I think Shota Umino is a pretty swell guy

>>18063846
You are fucking evil. You want NJPW to be an AEW slave company. Then you have the gall to call yourself a NJPW fan. What do you get out of doing this? Isn't there enough wrestling in AEW that you have to come in NJPW communities and ruin NJPW for NJPW fans? What kind of a sick fuck are you? Where do you live?

Inokism fucking sucked

>>18063848
Doing mutually beneficial joint shows is rape.

>>18063872
Wrestle Dynasty was a flop, anon.

>>18063868
Bristol, Tennessee, the hometown of the great Chase Owens, the West Texas Champion.

Come get it, faggot. We haven't had a "schizo fagdrag" around here in a while.

>>18063878
careful he's going to have an even bigger melty

>>18063872
>two 1 million dollar gates for NJPW per year instead of 1?!
>help, i'm going insane! ass penetrated company! tonikan! trannyhashi! gaped klitt!

>>18063886
You are such a fucking faggot. You will 100% start kissing up to AEW when Gabe signs there instead of admitting you were wrong. Because you are a fucking hypocrite. You are the best example of why people hate AEW and AEWtists. Faggots like you deserve to die!

>>18063894
do you own bushiroad stocks lil bro?

>>18063899
Maybe this is all a work. Maybe he does this on purpose to get people to hate on AEW.

>>18063899
I legitimately believe you are being paid to post these things in here to consensus crack a baseline level of AEW-hatred on publicly accessible wrestling forums.

>>18063894
Come on, even Kidani called Wrestle Dynasty a flop. Not that guy but this isn't irrational hate. Just stating facts.

>>18063899
Gabe will definitely go to AEW or WWE at some point, like every other gaijin in the past has gone to America to work.

I'm not going to have a bowel-quaking meltdown when this happens like you are, no.
Nor do I think it should affect his booking greatly.
Scott Norton worked NJPW and WCW at the same time and there weren't a bunch of fat western cheeto-smelling smarks like yourself writhing in agony over it.
You're just gay and nobody wants you around.

>>18063916
Forbidden Door is the second 1 million USD gate which has been confirmed by Bushiroad multiple times. Whatever they made off of Dynasty was just a bonus.

>>18063935
Sure, I'm just saying Wrestle Dynasty was a flop. I'm not saying anything about Forbidden Door.

>>18063943
>I'm not saying anything about Forbidden Door.
I believe you said it was rape.

>>18063943
Yeah, I suppose it was if Kidani said so. I guess the Egg rentals are pretty high but surely they at least broke even on it. What was it, 15,000 or something?

>>18063948
>Not that guy >>18063916

Kidani literally said they didn't make good results for the first part of the year mainly due to Wrestle Kingdom and Wrestle Dynasty being flops. Literally no profits. KWAB and grim.

kek is this guy being paid to defend the aew partnership in these threads? lmfao

>>18063972
I'll take that as a yes, you are paid.

>>18063972
nah he's probably a tranny doing it for free
grim

>>18063972
Have you seen the astroturfing and brigading on Reddit SqaureCircle? Turns out this place is the same! Paid bots everywhere.

Oh shit he sent for backup from his discord JeEts

Nope, there are just at least two anons ITT who think you're a psychopath and God bless the other guy.

grim

What's with the Uemura hate? I don't think he appeared on AEW yet bro

>>18064016
You need to hate all upcoming NJPW talent and not enjoy any NJPW shows or else you're a paid AEWtist shill

Uemura is Trannyhashi lite, another dimeless bitch. Therefore he is grim.

Joe Hendry is Uemura father

a very tough month for the bushidrones after Griminion only did 6.5 thousy

>>18064016
>>18064025
Haven't you heard? NJPW sucks. Everybody sucks. And it's AEW's fault. Toni Khan Trannyhashi Gaped Klitt Shota umino fucking sucks!

Am I thread-culturing right?

NJPW could easily turn the tide with a single move.
100% aggressive focus in Japanese talent.

Honestly I would be one of the grim posters if it wasn't for the Goto Kakumei. Imo Goto is single-handedly carrying the company right now. Oh and I will miss LIJ as a faction. As for the G1, I will go out on a limb and predict Uemura to take it. Though I expect Takeshita to do extremely well.

>>18064074
Takeshita is Japanese

>>18064074
>100% aggressive focus in Japanese talent.
I agree, but not Tsuji because he seems to like Mexico more than NJPW so he's a traitor.
Uemura has top babyface energy so he'll probably get poached by AEW at some point, so we can't afford to support him.
Shingo Bangerino is an anti-draw, can't like him because AEW fans like his matches.
Callum Newman, nope, Ospreay connection.
O-Khan? Nope, Ospreay connection, he's tranny tainted.
Goto? Yoshi-hashi? They're friends with Okada who is in AEW, can't support theme ither.
EVIL is dating Iyo Sky from WWE so he will probably leave, which rules out all of House of Torture as well, traitors all.

Logic dictates that we true NJPW fans can only support people with no other options who will probably never leave or interact with other shows or companies, so that means: Chase Owens and Don Fale.

>>18064098
So it's settled then. IWGP Heavyweight Champion Chase Owens, in a 3+ year reign of terror, is the only solution to solve the AEWtist problem.
And also we need to convince Shingo to have bad matches too.

LoneStar Outlaw baby!

>>18064098
kek you got mindbroken real hard

>>18064098
>EVIL is dating Iyo Sky from WWE
Those rumors have been put to the rest years ago though

Do we want him back?

I don't care about DJ Karl returning. I always thought people overrated him as a young lion cause he had a decent look. Connors was always the Michaels of the LA Dojo class.

[Grim news] Former NJPW wrestlers KWABsuya Wheelchairto (43) and BUSHIT (42) will make their first appearance as freelancers at RevPro's Summer Sizzler event on July 25th.

>>18064942
They're warming themselves up doing indies before entering the N-1 btw

>>18064942
Alright now THIS is grim. Bushiroad can't even pay as much as RevPro kekaroo.

>Bushiroad can't even pay as much as RevPro kekaroo.
Huh? What makes you think that?

>>18063862
Controversial.

Why isn't Toru Yano in the G1 any more?

My controversial take as a fellow grim nihoner is that I enjoyed Umino vs. Zack at WK. I thought Shota getting booed was kino.

>>18065343
They had a decent 20 minutes match in there stretched out because it had to be "le epic tokyo dome main event", I'm sure their G1 match this year will be better
