>would rather wrestle in RevPro as a freelancer than sign another Bushidrone contract
grim...

>>18065897
If ELP can't go next month then beg for Hechicero

>>18066416
I'd rather watch ELP though

ELP sucks
even Fale would be better

Oh yeah he's Shota's friend I guess I have to performatively hate him then

>>18065489 (OP)
>Ryusuke Taguchi, Master Wato, Katsuya Murashima, & Daiki Nagai vs Tatsuhito Takaiwa, GENTARO, Kengo, & Dragon Libre
Nothing screams DEATH PAIN like Taguchi, Wato and two young lions

the last few young lions look dimeless, can't they get anyone who's at least shoot 6'1 there's way too much manlets right now

>>18066427
I like him I guess but his only value in his block is a Takeshita rematch for me

Should see what Anzai is doing for the two months he’s away from All Japan

>>18066478
Who?

>>18066478
I'm guessing acting could work out for him or at least modeling

>>18066495
>loves Harold even though it was his fault AEW started.

>>18066495
Serious question - I know why the gaijin and AEW guys didn’t like Harold, but I never heard a reason for the Japanese talents like Taichi hating him. Any reason?

>>18066478
Either turning into a media guy for a while (maybe even hurt) or WWE related

>>18066694
He didn't want to overpay shitters like the Bucks and Kenneth. Doesn't matter if they started poop dick wrestling after that, he didn't want to work with them and factual numbers prove he was right.

>>18066788
paying kenny more at least makes sense, but the bucks probably would've convinced him to leave anyway since their relevance is chopped in half without him

>>18066726
We've been over this a billion times

The Japs hated Harold because he shat on Chono and the respected veterans of the locker room and the dojo. He removed Chono from the G1's place of honor that he had pretty much held since he retired.
Also, he was a total self-mark who had merch for himself made. Imagine if Tony Khan made dolls of himself and sold them at AEW events.

Defending Harold is just one of many ways our schizo exposes himself as a fake fan that is just here to whine about AEW and do gay console wars

>>18066880
Kidani also makes merch of himself for the record.
>>18066788
Yeah I'm sure every single main eventer was a good trade off for not working with them.

>>18066891
>Kidani also makes merch of himself for the record.
grim

>>18066912
>>18066891
Kidani runs Bushiroad which has card games and all sorts of shit.

Harold was President of NJPW, not the same thing, not wrestling merch being sold at a wrestling event with merch tables the talent are dependent upon to make money

>so mindbroken he actually tries to defend Kidani
AND NEEEEEEEEEEEWWWW

Didn't Kidani wanna be some Vince-style heel authority figure but everyone that was already involved BTS told him to fuck off?

Also I wonder what Ohbari's reputation truly is. There's the rumor of him not getting along with Okada but he also commissioned his own fucking brother to make that shitty World Title we're stuck with.

>>18066932
So it's okay for Harold to have merch but not Kidani?

You have to pick a side, anon, either both are wrong or neither are wrong. You're the Harold supporter, so you're the one that is pro-office guys should have merch.

>>18066939
I never talked about him selling some merch though, you brought it up because you got mindbroken by >>18066788

>>18066922
Kidani is a mark for himself that much is undeniable.

>>18066980
get it gaped and pissed in

>>18066980
SHIN ASSH

I'm so fucking hyped for the Grim 1 Crymax.

>>18067019
Premium games only in the cerulean blue.

>>18066788
>He didn't want to overpay shitters like the Bucks and Kenneth
He was the one that wanted to strap the rocket to their asses at Dominion 2018.
>>18066835
>the bucks probably would've convinced him to leave anyway
They said in their book that they didn't have the confidence to seriously consider leaving until Kenny told them he was unhappy with the state of his New Japan contract negotiations

Taichibros I can't bear to watch

>>18067395
He needs to join the house. It's his only way forward.

ELP no shit is off the card again for today

My wishlist for HoT:
#1 Taichi
#2 Yuya Uemura
#3 El Desperado
#4 Shingo Takagi
#5 ELP
#6 Hiroshi Tanahashi
#7 Daiki Nagai
#8 Robbie Eagles
#9 Zack Sabre Jr.
#10 Walker Stewart

>There will be a special press conference today at 2PM JST.
>We invite fans and media to watch live for free on @njpwworld. Real time English updates will be provided in the thread below with a report to follow on njpw1972.com

>>18067608
ELP is gonna get replaced in the Grim 1 isn't he bros?

>>18067135
Man I want to live in the timeline where the Bucks quit wrestling after their stint in TNA.
>Kenneth stays in New Japan, has 5 star bangerinos all the way up to present day
>Cody goes to NWA has a long ass reign and eventually goes back to WWE
>AEW never gets formed
>Hangman stays in New Japan, leaves Bullet Club after losing.g to Tanahadhi, had a kino redemption arc and joins Hontai, teams with Tanashi in WTL, wins and have a long reign with the tag belts
>Bucks never wrestle again and thus never infect wrestling with their indie flipper shittery
What could have been

>>18067627
Anyone who pretends AEW wasn't Harolds fault doesn't know their history. Unfortunately we live in the grimmest timeline for Japanese wrestling specifically.

>>18067608
OG post has an exclamation point lol
Aaron Wolf joining, perhaps? He's the only one I can see that makes sense to do the day of a show

or Finlay's slot was indeed a red herring and Yumi Anzai is taking his place

>>18067608
Uh oh. Which player will leave soon?

>>18067608
ELP gonna go up in the KWABOTY rankings

>>18067627
>eternal WWE dominance forever
sigh.... what could have been....

>>18067627
The point I was making was that they were going to do whatever Kenny did, not the other way around

another mark, exactly what NJPW needs right now

Aron Wolf

I haven't kept up with njpw at all lately but it's cool to me to have kasai and takeda on a show
Also a g1 without ishii sounds pointless

Inoki would be so, so proud.

>finally someone with a legit sport background
>he's a chubby manlet
grim

This guy has negative aura.

Wolf is debuting at Wrestle Kingdom.

>>18068323
I thought the same of Oleg. We'll see how he uses his judo in-ring

>>18068335
fair enough

I literally couldn't give less of a shit

will tana pull an inoki and make him his last opponent?

another dimeless shitter, son of a burger father
grim

>>18068355
If tana was actually based he'd make Gedo book him to win the G1 and win the title in his retirement match, then exit to High Energy

>>18068375
Wolf should squash Tanahashi in 5 minutes then join HoT. It is what Inoki would have wanted.

This dude will have to find a good look cause this ain't it. He looks like a fat McDonalds employee.

Kek even the JP comments in the live chat are talking about him joining AEW.

>>18068413
I'm seeing people mention OZAWA and wondering if EVIL is hiding somewhere waiting to attack

>>18068489
There was a lot of that. Pre-stream thought it might be Anzai.

>>18067395
taichi will be fine, don’t worry

>no aura
>no charisma
>mutt
>another fucking manlet
>chubby
>will be treated like a princess
>will debut at the Tokyo Dome
>people in the live chat already don't give a shit and would rather talk about House Of Torture and NOAH's champion
Yep, I'm afraid that I have to say it: grim.

>strong ass Boltin
>6'7 Oskar
>fat gold medal judoka nigga
The future is monster gaijin yet again

>>18068516
the future is going to the tonikan toybox

I give him less than 5 matches before quitting

>THE FUTURE NEEDS TO BE ALL JAPANESE! FUCK GAIJINS!
>japanese gold medalist joins new japan
>AAAAAAH GRIM GRIM GRIM HE IS GOING TO THE TONIKAN TOYBOX ANYWAY
why is he like this

Aron Wolf-senshu will bring back Inoki-ISM, the ultimate form of entertainment, and take Grim Nihon to new heights.

>>18068604
maybe he does good business, but do they really need another "special treatment" wrestler right now?

>>18068629
Wolf would have been great in the 90s and the 00s with Inoki's style/strong style of NJPW, but the current NJPW style isn't for him. There's no synergy.

>>18068629
Aaron Wolf, O-Khan, Boltin will form an Inokiism faction and shoot on the roster, saving New Japan

Boltin Oleg exists you retarded faggots

>>18068633
If the press and attention is truly worth it, yes. 2026 has to be all gas no breaks to find any sort of success.

IWGP champ within a year to give the brand legitimacy.

>>18068656
He's a judoka, right? Sakaguchi shall make it happen.

what does judo have to do with puroresu? if anything this shitter will be unsafe in the ring
can he even cut a promo? did his judo sensei teach him how to handle a crowd?

i cant wait for boruchin vs worufu

>>18068720
t.drooling retard

>>18068629
I want to believe it, but it will be difficult for him to surpass the bar set by Naoya Ogawa in the past. In Ogawa's case, he was backed by his mentor and promoter, Antonio Inoki, and at the time, NJPW had many stars, so it was the perfect timing for Ogawa, a judo star, to make his debut. In Wolf's case, the environment and circumstances surrounding him are completely different from those of the past. Not only the product is different, but even combat sports aren't as popular as decades ago so his name and his style probably won't bring much. Just my 2 cents

>>18068759
Tana should pull an Inoki and instruct Wolf to shoot on Goto.

>>18068720
he will give up just like gabe steveson

>>18068759
Wrestling is a joke in Japan. No existing judo fan will ever pay to watch him fake fighting.

They really can't help themselves huh

>>18068790
Chidori and a dimeless fatass.

>>18068800
>Chidori
who?

>>18068804
>Posting in a Japanese professional wrestling general and not knowing two of the most famous Japanese comedians today

>>18068833
Better than posting in a Japanese professional wrestling promotion general and hating everything about it

>>18068839
Why not? I easily work the Grim Japan marks into a shoot by playing that gimmick

I may not have the strength to watch the Korakuen show live, so I'll like to state my undying support for my Holy Emperor in hoping Newman fucks up his knee again

>Okada and Ibushi feuding in 2025 AEW
Can't wait for a Gabe vs Tsuji feud in 2030 AEW

Golf Romeo India Mike

Is this [Good News] or [Grim News]?

>>18068993
[Great News] domestically with Wolf's debut and Tana's retirement. It's up to who Tana's opponent is and the plan for the rest of card
Potentially [Grim News] for us when they only have english commentary available on NJPW World (I like the current team but fuck you give me choice)

is the guy even popular or charismatic?

>>18066466
It's basically all Jrs until these 2 new guys came along looking good and being aggressive with each other

sex with zane jay

spitroast sex with taichi and shota umino

>>18069063
>popular
Used to be during and after the Tokyo Olympics when he won a gold medal. Now not so much, doesn't get invited to appear on variety shows as much as half a decade ago.
>charismatic
Charisma blackhole.

>>18069126
who’s in the front

>>18069149
umino-kun

aight im going to sleep hopefully taichi at least loses in a good match

>*can shoot kill every single man in the roster in youre're are pathe*

>>18069166
if he loses it's because you didn't have faith in him

is he jewish

>>18069177
What's the matter?

>>18069169
He looks humble. Humble bear.

Yoshi Hashi chaperoning the senior citizens

>>18069169
Judo can at least translate to pro wrestling because the throws look good. It's not just laying on the ground and being gay like BJJ

>>18069231
Yeah, BJJ looks like gay rape, Judo is a proper martial art that wasn't invented by favela monkeys.

>>18069127
>Charisma blackhole
They should give him Gedo as a manager

i hope umino keeps the glasses

if elp can't make it to the g1 i wouldn't mind hartley as a replacement desu

G1 qualifiers starting now

one word. four letters. ugh ugh grimola.

LMAOOO now i expect fale and chase to qualify too, grim fucking company

No Yano, Ishii, Taichi on g1 is kinda bad

>>18069484
you don't understand they needed room for call me woman and drilla bolognese

>>18069475
>Beating Taichi, so he gets a tag title shot after losing the majority of his G1 matches

>>18068800
i wish i still had after effects (and time) i want to have him drop spaghetti during this

>taichi is still going to livestream in an hour after all that
my goat..

Humble Wolf

Bet time.

How many matches will this guy have before leaving?

>>18069754
So what do you think, will they make this guy into the Japanese Kurt Angle or will he flop?

boltin and wolf should form a faction of guys that look like they should be able to speak english but can't

>No Yano
Good (and I like Yano)

>mfw Aaron Wolf wipes out all of HoT and beats EVIL with a shoot STO in 5 minutes at Wrestle Kingdom

>>18068993
[Good news] that could easily turn into a [Grim news] if this means they'll have to make the show shorter and throw most of the card into the trash with some half-assed 4 minutes matches. Also could turn grim if New Japan does something retarded like putting Zack and Shota high on the card again.

>>18070515
Inoki would be marking out

>>18069484
Who cares about Yano, Ishii is kinda whatever, Taichi is the only loss. Would've loved to see some more Taichi singles matches

Wolf should form Bullet Club Wolfpac

>Wolf Aaraon

>Forbidden Door is in the UK
>Goto vs Zack for the IWGP right before the G1
Gotobros... I'm scared...

>>18071722
Tanahashi Jam. No idea where Yota is but 2 of the 3 are booked today

>>18072105
would be the grimest move of the year to put the title back on this antidraw shitter

AAron Wolf seems like an okay get. Trannyhashi has been scouting him for at least a year now. That being said they need more 6 foot Japs. Problem is that as of now I can only see him as a NEVER guy like Oleg. Unless he has CRAZY Charisma like Woppy that is hidden from us all.

>>18072114
You think Yota Tsuji is an enjoyer of latina culo like Shingo? And Speaking of which I'm rooting for Shingo and Hashimoto. He likes his women BIG.

I thought Newman vs Taichi was boring and Ishii vs. Drilla was sloppy, but still decent. I think Boloney really needs to level up his striking game among other things. Maybe the G1 can finally get that NXT stink off of him.

Aaron Wolf is inspired by reiwa inoki and naito

>"It was at New Japan Pro-Wrestling that I saw Naito and Okada fight. Even though they are gone, my desire to wrestle on this mat has not changed.

>At this stage, I feel it would be presumptuous to think that I want to replace someone or surpass anyone. First, I want to build a solid foundation over the next six months so that I can stand in the same ring as the other wrestlers, and then I want to decide what I want to become."

>>18072573
Surely the generation of Jap kids who grew up watching the "golden age" should be in their late teens early 20s now. It's time for Shin Nihon to recruit.

Are all EVIL fans this cute?

>>18072944

Still Fujita.

Cheap Chinese Sho plushees have insane margins. Same with T shirts. The reason you see HoT is because of the fujos and alt girls buying merchandise.

Jun please don't give Despy too many more scars...

i dont want despe to experience pain OR death, frankly

>>18075408
He can’t even pull off an undercard gimmick

Not a big fan of deathmatch wrestling but there's something about these guys, they always produce kino

Run away Despy. Its clear that Kasai is never going to stop and will be sending you DeathPAIN invitations from the retirement home years from now

Should Naito be here as a freelancer for WK20?

>>18078264
nah he should let the fans badger Bushiroad to bring him back for a while so it's a bigger deal when it happens.

>>18066788
>Pretending the Covid pandemic didn't complete gut the live event business in Japan because of how harsh & prolonged their Govt restrictions were
You disingenuous console war faggot.

>>18066880
The opening video package of NJPW Dominion 2018 was a completely shameless, totally cringe self0marking out video package of Harold presenting himself as some kind of International, Bond like secret agent man or some shit. Absolutely cringeworthy stuff.
On a show that was meant to be about crowning Kenny as IWGP Hwt. Champion.
Again, if TK did that he'd be crusifed forever, every single day on the Internet about it .
Yet with Meij it's conveniently memory holed.
For me that self indulgent self fellating video package was the first huge red flag when it came to him.

>>18078297
And are those restrictions still a thing in 2025?

Harold Meij nude (naked)

>>18068309
He would beat your ass into the ground with no effort. And all of NJPW's roster for that matter.

>>18078316
Nah

>>18078297
>muhh covid !!
kek, we're in 2025, faggot. no restrictions, other live events do very well. reminder they got easily outdrawn by some Rizin manlets at the Tokyo Dome. There's no excuse, people are willing to pay, it's just that they don't want to spend money on the King Of Grim.

>>18078378
King Of Grim? The King Of Grim Style? Who do you mean? Or are you talking about the company itself?

Ok so how good was the deathmatch?

WE GOT HIM

>>18079037
Bushiroad should hire him to replace Gedo

>>18079122
>makes hunter schafer women's champion

>>18079037
Kojima Hideo or Nishijima Hidetoshi? Either of them would put NJPW on the map.

>>18079024
Really good, both deathmatch. The 2 vs 2 and the main event. Overall from this PPV I would only recommend to watch these two cards and the one w/ Fujita.

>>18079037
Tanahashi cosplaying as Norman Reedus when?

Kojima sucks and would grim New Japan harder. He is the biggest hack in the history of video games.

Contrarianism is a mental illness.

Hideous Cuckjamal is indeed very grim.

damn this new young lion is hella impressive
i just watched his latest match and gotta say, kid has the it factor

This judo guy is going to be a flop.

Is le based judo man going to be a Young Lion or is he getting the Kurt Angle straight to the main roster treatment?

>>18081400
he's not going to live in the dojo and will get the special treatment, they said it in the press conference
grim

>>18081400
He is gonna debut at wrestle kingdom without living in-dojo. Hard to say as of now, but I'd wager he'll be treated similarly to Oleg, but even more fast tracked.

>>18081295
Which one? Matsumoto has great intensity but Zane is pretty solid too

>>18081400
time traveller here
they are gonna debut him against tanahashi in his retirement match
crowd is gonna immediately turn on him
he will get the KAERE chants

>>18081437
I also think both are really solid.

For me though it's Shion Obata

>>18081437
>Which one?

The idea of a world champion and gold medallist running out in black trunks and drawing with some random kid YL in the boonies or getting his ass kicked by Yano or Yujiro every night is pretty funny though

Went back and watched Honma vs. Tana cause I forgot they were doing that. It was pretty kino, much more SOVLFUL than the G1 qualis desu.

Anyone got link for kasai vs despy?

>>18081413
definitely a tag match with house of torture where his partner (probably oleg) gets the win for the team

>>18081348
Afraid so

>>18083115
The main thing I'm wondering is if he is gonna get the black trunks treatment or if they are gonna let him have some special gear.

>>18084445
Oiwa has the look but he should actually emote less. Or more accurately, be more strategic with his emotions like Ishii and the kings road guys.

>>18084445
Condolences to Fale, but this match is a marketed improvement. Probably should have been the original play-in to begin with.

I like how they ran the Nagata/Kojima G1 storylines in the same tournament but only gave Nagata the official send off

ELP pulled from shows again. I don't think he's making it to the G1

ELP has HIV, the virus that causes AIDS

Its 2032. Everyone's hands have fallen off from clapping so long. No one can make noise and no one remembers why. Master Wato is the IWGP Multiverse Champion. The Great O'Kahn is the President of Studio Ghibli. Douki still doesn't have a contract and ELP has long since died of AIDS

I will now watch your Grim1 Climax.

Left the thread earlier this week because it became too cancer

Just coming back and looking at the posts I missed, I just want to say I absolutely made the right decision.
If you're on the fence about leaving this thread to the schizos, just do it. You won't regret it.
Anyway, see you in gamethreads and the real fans in Weekend Webm as usual.

TAKA is bankrupting himself trying to keep his promotion afloat

>My lower back has been killing me since the Tohoku tour. It’s at its limit. For now, I’ll hit the gym in the morning. Train my back, then head to Tokyo. When it gets this bad, I go to Nozomi Chiropractic Clinic. Get better! After me, another athlete came in. Back to Chiba, then to the bank. Somehow managed to settle the few million yen in delayed payments. But now, my account balance is basically wiped out.
>It’s the end of the month, and… the cash flow nightmare returns. I move to secure funds. Watched the men's practice at the dojo, but my mind was filled with cash flow worries. I have to do something. No— It’ll work out. I will make it work!

He needs to give up JTO draws sub 100 fans regularly. JTO girls maybe could have been a thing but he constantly gets willingly poached.

Taka should book a lesbian angle with the Inaba sisters to draw more fans

>>18087925
Guess it’s worth keeping JTO just to have sex with the inaba sisters

A real fed should poach Jumbo Inoue from JTO.

>>18087925
He should try stealing money from trainees like he did in K-Dojo.

Dong Fale

God damn it! No yummy Fale bangerinos in the Grim 1!

What if Kojima wins and Oiwa gets sent to do the N1 again?

Every time they bring back a guy they always book them the same.

Just finally got around to Despe vs Kasai. I feel sick 11/10

What's the cope going to be when the washed up judoka is going to flop? Covid? Tony Khan? Him being a hafu?

Add rhythm to that sentence and it's probs accurate. TAKA should just shut the actual promotion aspect of JTO and have it just be a training school and make money that way.

>>18091481
I hope there are some consequences if that happens.

Shota Umino might be the most poorly booked wrestler in history. They have zero idea what they doing with his character.

The only notable male wrestler to come out of JTO was Ren Ayabe. GRIM.

>>18094956
Has New Japan or places like DDT even humored using JTO guys? It's only the women I see from there.

>>18094896
Oiwa looking plump

>>18095137
Taka is legit great at building women talents, might be because he's a perv and focus most of his work on women. The JTO men are the epitome of grim and dimeless. Shota Umino would be a fucking huge charismatic star in JTO.

>>18095137
I looked through their historic roster very briefly and the other guy aside from Ayabe was KANON who is in DDT now. Taka finds more success with the Joshis which seem to be true of every promotion for some reason.

My theory is that while Joshi are less athletically gifted by in large they often have way more in ring charisma compared to their male counterparts. (Probably because almost all of them are failed entertainers) The theatrics aspect of pro wrestling seems to be way harder to teach.
