>"My theory is that while Joshi are less athletically gifted they often have way more in ring charisma compared to their male counterparts. The theatrics aspect of pro wrestling seems to be way harder to teach" from the last thread
Interesting comment. I don't really think athleticism is the be all and end all of great wrestling so the joshis are more than fine to me. And yeah the joshis I've seen are mostly S-tier when it comes to theatrics - even people I don't give a fuck about such as Miu Watanabe. The joshi equivalent of Shota is probs someone called Amasaki and most fans aren't interested in her apart from the fact she's really visual.

Yeah I agree that it isn't the end all. I want to care about the wrestlers I'm watching and many Joshi do a much better job connecting with the audience. I think this is the biggest problem with the new generation in NJ. Most haven't been able to build that rapport with the crowd. The one glimpse we saw of it this year was Gabe vs. Tsuji at New Beginning. I guess another way of looking at it is that I just do not feel like any of the guys aside from Gabe who KWAB'd himself WANT to be the guy.

doesn't help that they're all like "ganbare onegaishimasu we will do our best and have hecking bangerinos to show we're the present of shin nihon desu".
shota right now could be the guy that finally snaps and actually does some character work to save us from the boring "let's do our best ganbarimasu" era but we've been waiting for his heel turn for what feels like an eternity.

I like HoT and even I thought the booking at Dominion was fucking atrocious trying to heat up HoT in a way that actively sabotaged the show instead of giving them heat. All of it leading to a shitty fucking Dog Collar match where some retard decided it wasn't no DQ despite the VTR saying otherwise and threatening us with Chase and Fale in the G1.

Not necessarily. They've overall succeeding in making Goto a big deal in this era, now he and Tanahashi carry the veteran star power for A block in the G1. Tsuji is doing well enough, EVIL is a menace (Yokohama Budokan loves him), Yuya's liked decently enough for what his booking is.
B block kinda needs 2 champions there even though match quality wise it probably will be the better block.

There's a weird dynamic to this though in that the show wasn't on NJPWWorld, the primary viewing platform which includes non-Japanese fans, but had a large domestic audience through TV Asahi showing it which is rare for shows to air live on tv there nowadays. So they actually had a bigger audience than usual composed of mostly Japanese people to put the belt on a foreign guy far less over than Goto. It's just weird.

I guess if there are a lot of casuals who only tune in like G1-post G1 and WK then Zack makes more sense to what little they've seen

Koreans brought pro-wrestling to Japan. Whites influenced it. You Japanese were doing your fatass sumo shit before that. Puroresu doesn't belong to Japan. You guys borrowed it.

>Hirooki Goto, who competed with Zack Sabre Jr. over the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship in Nagoya June 29, sustained an injury to his right elbow during the match, and as a result will be absent from competition on July 4 in the Tokyo Budokan. We apologise to fans looking forward to seeing Goto wrestle, and appreciate your understanding.

Kek, they fake injured him to justify ending the Goto revolution. This is hilarious. I can't stop laughing at how this company goes out of its way to dick-ride AEW. Goto got too popular for his own good.

I knew it. So that is why they decided to have ZSJ win the match. It was literally a mid-match decision. Holy shit.

Fuck you, Tony. Why do this to Goto? He is 46 years old. His push was no threat to AEW. Why ruin NJPW like this? We already gave your all our top talent.

Goto is gonna be the next SANADA. Got himself over organically? Woah. We can't have that.

In 2027 we will be talking about how Goto was never really over. He wasn't a draw. His IWGP title reign was a flop. It was grim.

Based observant anon. SANADA made the young guys look great in the G1 and gave Tsuji some of his best matches. Him showing no emotion for the Naito match was all build up for him actually crying after losing at WK (which the crowd popped at)
