I've fallen off over the past year. I'm thinking of jumping back in for the G1 Climax to keep tabs.
Is there anything I missed?
>>18095956Goto's run with the belt, New Beginning, BOSJ final. That's really all of note worth going out of your way to see. If you want to see a disaster class of a show you can watch Dominion.
>>18095877Crazy they released the G1 theme song early this year. On a serious note: At the end of the year my two all time favorites are no longer gonna be in New Japan (Naito & Tana). Truly is a new era.
>>18095956Yeah, Bad Luck Fale is X!
>>18096228There were 3 Xs!
>>18096228>Bad Luck FaleDon Fale
and Chase Owens is now the Lonestar Cowboy
>>18095956>CHAOS, GBH, Just 4 Guys are dead>Goto is a based top champion>Shota was a bald bitch for a while>Kosei Fujita has the ball now>the former LIJ niggas are unaffiliated >House of Torture is now half the roster>booming was pretty good post WK/WD but Dominion almost singlehandedly killed the vibes>we're friends with DDT again
Turning DOUKI heel (at least how they did it) was super retarded but his new theme is dimes
>"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.
https://x.com/njpw1972/status/1937722718067261586
>>18096535Yeah 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.
>>18096535>>18096688the reiwa dudes are indeed charismaless shitters that are not connecting with the audience for now
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.
>>18096676Lets see what they have
>Yota Tsuji's Mexico Revolucion Burger: 2,080 yen (tax included)>This burger expresses Tsuji's training in Mexico and his powerful fighting style. It is passionate, spicy, and made with two thick patties, giving it the air of a champion.
>>18096676>>18097380>Ren Narita's Guillotine Burger: 2,080 yen (tax included)>This hearty burger, served on a black bun, his image color, gives you a taste of Narita's stoic, tough wrestling style.
>>18096676>>18097380>>18097384>Shota Umino's English "Chapter" Muffin: 1,880 yen (tax included)>The English muffin is inspired by Unno's training experience in the UK and his elegant appearance and passion. The soft muffin and juicy patty make this a classic burger that is popular with people of all ages and genders.
>>18096676>>18097380>>18097384>>18097392>El Desperado's Mexican Twister: 1,380 yen (tax included)>The Twister plate expresses the image color with spicy salsa sauce and accompanying tortilla chips. It is a dish that gives you a taste of Mexican Latin spirit and "evil sexiness."
>>18097396The only good looking item and it's the Shota Umino oi bruv meal lol
>>18097384>BLACKED bunsalways grim
Why didnt they give the bong meal to Gabe?
>>18097883>I wreshtled in the UK when I wash on excurshion ! I am the Shin Ashe of the world !!!
>>18097883>Gabe's Khan Curry
>>18096848>we've been waiting for something that will never happen for an eternityyou sound like those retards who want hiromu in the g1 or evil to have an heckin' redemption arc, njpw fans really are braindead freaks
>>18096324Jesus fucking Christ.
>>18096324So basically, NJPW is cooked?
Bushiroad and AEW destroyed this company.
The Lion of New Japan rests on the shoulders of the (Aaron) Wolf. Hopefully, he's good on the mic
>>18098086nah fr this bum ahh company is finna cooked you kno what im talmbout nigger
>>18098094Inoki is shoot proud
Inoki is shoot burning in hell.
>>18098116Yea but he's burning proud
>>18098194What is his obsession with these puddings?
>>18098194damn he's balding
>>18098200You wouldn't get it...
>>18098194Gotta shill the sponsor.
He should go for a dental clinic next.
>>18098923That's NJPW's saviour? He looks autistic
>>18098939>white dad>Japanese momyou're kidding!
>>18098923He looks like a speedrunner with 50k followers on twitch. Where are the ikemen at, Mr President?
>>18099469he should have a death match with despe
>>18098194>gee wizsh! all alone again, tshuji?

>>18098923He should go for the Hashimikov bod if he wants to make Inoki proud.
Are you guys ready for this
>>18101828When the IWGP championship used to be held by real men
>>18101837I don't want this schizoposter drama to not let us freely shit on AEW
>>18096324all of these are good btw, if you think HoT
are "killing the vibes" you should just stop watching professionnal wrestling
>>18101837im actually vaguely interested in it but that poorly shot soft strike exchange that went around doesnt instill hope
>>18101837this will be so soulless compared to their NJPW matches, same for the match with Kenny
>>18102621You have zero taste.
>>18103172nah dem vibes be cooked ngl where da bangers at kno im sayin?
>>18101837Oh boy! Normally I just watch gifs on Twitter and pretend to be knowledgeable about NJPW but now I get to see the REAL DEAL!!!
>>18101837Will skip since I already saw this in tokyo dome
>>18102621I didn't post that trying to be straightaway positive or negative. Points 1, 2, 4, and 8 are not bad things at all.
>if you think HoT are "killing the vibes" you should just stop watching professionnal wrestlingI 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.
did you guys watch aaron wolf's latest match? holy shit that was impressive
Aaron Wolf must show respect to his senpai Yoshi Hashi
>>18105144Link it breh. I wanna see Aaron Wolf throw Don Fale with one arm when he debuts.
>>18105144Yeah I could not believe my eyes when he used that one arm should throw on Tanahashi. Was that a Judo move? He might shoot hurt somebody.

Shingo said that X is a masked man he found in Mexico and it isn't Titan.

>>18106691i wonder what his dumbass nickname is gonna be?
>>18104869I don't care if you're going to cry about them you should stop watching wrestling because it's not made for you
2025 Nooj be like: we have NXT UK shitters in the G1 over Ishii, Yano and Taichi
rate OKhan's spring anime picks
>>18107893Fire Force is cool.
>mfw I have to feign excitement for the Grim 1 Crymax because Uncle Dave told me this is where all the yummy bangerino Japanese wrestlers are before they come to my home (AEW)
>>18107893Crazy the amount of anime people can watch. This is why I can never get a job in the manga industry.

GETTING
BACK
UP
>>18114238To this day I don't understand the purpose of that staff. It's not like he's running a magician gimmick, he just carries it on his way to the ring.
>>18114326It's clearly some old traditional Japanese thing, same with Goto
>>18114326He's the monkey king, that's his gimmick. It's the same staff Goku has in Dragon Ball when he's a kid.
>>18114238he has seen it all
>>18114326Bishamon is a Buddhist deity associated with war. I assume the staff is a reference to khakkhara (a Buddhist monk's staff that has a secondary purpose as a weapon).
tonight on TV Asahi (not NJPW World)
https://x.com/tvasahi_cs/status/1939069146320511277
>>18115388I would watch this game but I can't. Gotta wait for someone to upload a TV rip. It looks like a real fun card.
>>18115388If Zack wins the IWGP because it's Forbidden Door season imma finna kill myself
>>18115388>Goto, having to carry a 6.5/10 year with a strong title reign, is gonna drop the belt on a show we can't even see
>>18115778>6.5/10 yearmove the decimal over to the left
if they put the title back on Zack then this promotion deserves to die
I hope Zack wins because it would be funny.
Just realize the TV title is finally being defended on TV
>>18116421It was the best match theyโve ever had against each other, and theyโve had some absolute killer meetings.
>>18116426awesome man i'm a big fan of both of them so this is great news
I checked out after Naito left, have there been any whispers about where he'll show up?
>>18116519I'm gonna assume youre trolling
>>18116630>next event is Nash themed OHNONONO KWAB
https://x.com/elpwrestling/status/1939163075241976130
ELP is cleared to wrestle
>>18116718surely he's doing a quick match and losing right?
>>18116761Open challenge for the TV belt, he is not losing
>>18116718grim
hopefully this faggot breaks his neck
>>18116799It's the TV title, I doubt they care that much
>>18116761Its 5th on the card, above even Oleg vs Nagata. Tells me it's actually someone interesting (or someone who can beat ELP)
>>18097883Shota's more English than that wigger
>>18107893Why didn't yami healer make an appearance
Tanahashu Jam is on in baked
Shota with an STF on Fujinami. Thats the shin ashe
fujinami walks better than tanahashi
Why isnโt tanahashi jam on samurai tv?
>>18117767TV Asahi is their primary provider so they have exclusive rights
>>18117756Lots of wrestlers who trained in the Inoki style have long careers without major body issues.
>Chase pins YOSHI HASHI
Based, we know what that means
oleg please dont kill that old man
why didn't anyone assault him to set up a WK match
>>18117856its june, dumbass
Woke to find out Shun Skywalker was X and Goto's gonna lose
>2 shibata tribute moves
yeah, goto's losing
>>18118126>Shun Skywalker was XDefinitely a one off but at least it was a good one
AND NEW FRAUD OF THE YEAR GEDOOOOOOOO
grim bros are finally accurate
Did Kaito loss mass since his has NJPW appearance or was he always this small?
>Hey what if we put the belt back on the dimeless twink that miserably failed as a main event draw ?
can he eat pins like the other guy did?
Good little nostalgia match. Oiwa's moveset fucking sucks
>>18118309two different types of shit is still shit
>>18118320the secret is that it's all the same shit, the only way rocky has influence is that they let his friends work strong shows sometimes, otherwise the problem that people have with the booking of us shows were also present on today's show, which makes me think that people are overrating rocky's actual influence on the booking
>>18118337ah I getcha, the answer is still no
>>18118309>>18118309There hasn't been a good STRONG show since Battle in The Valley 2 years ago
>>18116630now naito can win the belt from zsj
>4,570ไบบ
Last wrestling show ever in Dolphins Arena, highest attendance since the G1 in 2019. Apparently the building had poor/no air conditioning but the acoustics were really good so RIP.
>>18118228Is this just a thing so he can wrestle (and probably lose to) Ospreay at Forbidden Door? Or is he main eventing WK against G1 winner Shota again?
>>18118390You think Tanahashi won't make his retirement match the main event?
>>18118393True. I guess the World Title match at WK doesn't matter too much as the Tana match will be the draw anyway. Still a weird decision to belt ZSJ back up. Goto makes a better gatekeeper for the younger than him imo
>>18118393You ideally want something big for his final match and if it involves the younger guys it's definitely gonna.
Tanahashi is going to win the g1.
Nobody masks his shortcomings better than ZSJ. Heโs going out with the belt.
Itโs not just for Forbidden Door. Itโs for Wrestlekingdom also. Buckle up.
>>18118397I wouldn't be surprised if Goto won the belt back post G1 and they just gave it back to ZSJ because of the Forbidden Door shit
>>18118393Nah. Tana is built in the Liger mode, where he understands his limitations and wonโt want to be the final match of the show. Crazy how he dealt with Inoki, Choshu and Mutoh but doesnโt have their egos.
>>18118393He will make his retirement match the Dai-1 Jiai, like Liger-san, or he will face a locker room revolt
>>18118414And they didn't want the defense record to get too high too I guess, still extremely weird to do it on this particular show where it didn't even main event
Okada wins the title again, for sure
>>18118423Liger had more space to do so. Tana is still crucially needed as a recognizable attraction
>They got their orders for FD
Ass penetrated organisation
>>18118408i would prefer, in the future, you not put that type of evil in my head. no reason for it.
>>18118432This. Tony will probably get his ZSJ toy this time too. Sad!
>>18118408He should win in the finals against Uemura and then he just never puts him over
Goto had 7 defenses in 3 months. What did anyone fucking expect?
>>18118435Probably, I'm sure the twitter fans will love this news
personally im willing to give a wrestler i like a chance but the goto revolution is not over in my opinion and i am somewhat worked
>>18118488Do you mean not over as in itโs continuing in spirit or not over as in the people didnโt care for it?
>>18118518continuing in spirit my friend. the goto revolution only ends when we allow it
>>18118524yeah
I find the grimposting funny but I still watch the product - this title change is rough even for me
Gotta admit, this just seems entirely motivated by Forbidden Door.
I guess they want to do Tanahashi vs. Shibata instead of Goto vs. Shibata. Makes sense given it's a retirement tour.
Who wrestles Zack at FD? Takeshita?
Does he win?
is there any way for Goto to win it back before the G1? I figure Zack gets one defense at FD, but then it goes straight into the G1, right?
>>18118569Forbidden Door is after the G1 lil bro
>>18118545Not 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.
Goto is going back direct to the midcard
bishamonbrosโฆ the sponsored sapporo beer isnโt numbing the pain anymore
>>18118599Now that Goto doesnโt have to be protected, are the top three of A block going to be Tsuji/Uemura/Oiwa?
>>18118679It's going to be Tsuji/Uemura/Finlay, not the bum ass Grip
Please save us Aaron Wolf
Welp. I was expecting goto to retain and was excited for Shibata vs Goto at Forbidden Door.
How the fuck did Gedo fumble that
>>18118736>I was excited for a Forbidden Door match Why would you be? Do you like rape? You sick fuck
>>18118248Did Oiwa eat the pin?
>>18118590Was Grimnahashi Jam that bad?
>>18118545Yup. Just realized that the crossover show is in London so it kinda makes sense to make zsj the champion again
Grim fags jinxed the product
>>18118838More like predicted the future
>>18118838>NJPW is bad because of a few autists spamming the word โgrimโ on a dead obscure thread on 4chan and not because of the retarded bookers
>>18118777Of course. He gets his win back in the G1
>>18118903He's not getting shit, him technically being a Noah guy has cursed him
>>18118590I refuse to get little bro'd for not knowing when an AEW ppv is happening
>>18119096It's as much a NJPW ppv as it is an AEW one lil bro
>>18119089How is he "technically" a NOAH guy you braindead moron?
>>18119113Noah excursion, acknowledges Goatomiya
If it was DDT or AEW Tana would personally suck his cock
>>18119135Delusional. You know who spent years in NOAH before being a New Japan guy? Your current IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. You're a vile pestilent piece of shit.
>>18119135lmao, this fucking guy
How disappointing. ZSJ was not a draw, wtf are they thinking? Main event ZSJ sucks.
>>18119089He cursed himself with that shitty finish and shitty submission. Fajita is doing Zack shit while this big motherfucker is doing Money Clip #2
>>18119159Zack doesn't count cause he gayjin
>>18119186its really weird. didnt he use a doctor bomb in noah? some sort of big suplex seems like a way better fit
ZSJ DOUBTERS GET THE FUCKING ROPE
>>18119211Heโs trying to find a pathway between ZSJ and Choshu, when his best fit would be somewhere between Tanaka and Goto.
>>18119237He's been in the midcard for months. What a bizarre decision to take the belt off a draw and put it on an antidraw.
>>18119237>not MiSu title matchNobody but obese smarks are trying to see Minoru Suzuki in 2024
>>18119237And now Gotofags are doing the exact same, wrestling fans are all overthinking reactionary morons
Zack beating Goto for the title on a show not streamed is something. I can get they had a live TV special and wanted to do something big, but why it couldn't air internationally for people who don't get Asahi is a weird decision.
World has 100k subscribers outside of Japan
850k homes are estimated to view the event live on TV last night
The international viewers were not the priority last night
>>18119317International viewers were not the priority on a show that had a title change happen because of Forbidden Door?
>>18119317Wanted all the domestic fans to see a gaijin cuck their champ and grandpas cuck the young guys
>taking the belt off the native star who boosted ticket sales to put it back on the foreigner who tanked the ticket sales in the first place so he can defend it on the foreign show was for the domestic audience, not for foreign fans
>>18119334No one cares about Zack being a Gaikokujin, it's the Reiwa Era oji-san...
>>18119344There was no tanking under Zack's reign.
>>18119359The fans that left do
>Fag Gaybre Jr. is the champ
HOLY FUCKING GRIM
The worst part about Zack winning is we have to listen to him walk out to that dimeless, auraless BLEEP BLOOP BLEEP theme song of his longer.
>>18119366Delusional weeb. Stfu.
>>18119367Saying grim isnโt a personality
the revolution has been betrayed
would be great if sabre gets injured before the aew show
>>18119462do it yourself coward
You have got to be shitting me
>is still the longest reigning IWGP champion in you're path
>>18119344If this really is a Forbidden Door move this is like the most symbolic shit for it, taking the belt off a fully over homegrown hero on a non-fully available show and putting it on a, admittedly respected, but not over guy for a single foreign crossover ppv utterly dominated by the other side and their fanbase
>>18119599in the end it broke him though
>>18119599SANADA in the streets
>>18119643SANADA tween the sheets
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
I just hate Zack as the top gaijin so much.
>>18119643Guy finally gets to be himself
>>18119899>I am zesty but I am free
>>18119895Well would you prefer ospreay, white, or Finlay? Even though he's an absolute faggot honestly omega is the one guy I wouldn't have minded if he got a long reign. The only reason zack, and truthfully even goto, has been champion is because there is nobody else
Shun got the pin...wonder if he leaves Dragon Gate after Kobe World
>>18120002its because NJPW knows that Shun mogs their own wrestlers
>>18120002He deserves to beat Yamato and win the Dream Gate, but selfishly I want him to leave DG and come add some much-needed energy to New Japan
>>18119261Obese Smarks are trying to invent time travel? Maybe I should stop making fun of them.
>>18120002>X on the second biggest NJPW show>Bad Luck Fale and Chase Owens>X on a wrestler produced side show with no NJPWWorld>Shun Skywalker
>>18120002I'm predicting that NJPW has lent DG Tanahashi for Kobe for Shun Skywalker for a couple of months. Skywalker loses to YAMATO and 'leaves' DG.
>The endโฆ? Like hell Iโm letting it end like this.

>>18120865>beats ZSJ in the G1 finals and then again @KOPW>Goto loses to Uemura in block play, in which Uemura challenges him at Wrestle Kingdom for the title
>>18120308If Shun ends up in HoT I will kill Gedo with my bare hands
>>18120968Nah tsuji beats goto and shitstorm. And are you really suggesting FIVE goto/zsj matches in less than a year?
>The Goto Revolution ended without a worldwide stream, so members might be angry.
>FUCK YOU! WHY DON'T YOU DO IT AT WORLD?! WHY DID YOU RAISE THE PRICES AND TAKE MONEY?!
>Zack Sabre: His matches are just all about joints, they're not interesting, and there's no conclusion or anything, so I really don't need them.
>Are you mocking World Members? What do you mean you can't see it even though you paid? Let's all speak up.
>I know Zack is strong, but his matches aren't that exciting. Anyway, congratulations. Good job to Goto too.
>Shouldn't they stop selling title matches so cheaply? The span is too short.
>All I can think is "Well, well, well." And they've demoted them to the semi-finals and there's no live broadcasting around the world...IWGP is the highest level, right?
>There's no belt transfer without a world broadcast... I wanted to see Goto wearing the belt more.
>No worldwide broadcasting, why am I paying every month? Soon I won't be able to watch 1.4 or the G1 finals? I think I'll cancel it, I'm not going to get it back.
>The champion changes hands when we can't see it... It's hard to accept...
>The revolution ended without us even noticing.
seems a lot of japs were not able to see the show either, and they are seething. grim.
>>18121025I miss 5ch anon
>>18120980You won't do shit and you can't do shit, get that BMI down lardass
>>18121025>a lot of japs>five cherrypicked tweets you really love to do that shit huh
>>18120980Heโll join and make the HoT splinter group, taking DOUKI and Narita with him
>>18121025japs are into NTR cuck shit anyways
this is fine
brit fans are more important for njpw right now
>japs are subhumans yellow monkeys but i still want to watch their wrestling
why do people like this exist
ZSJ got on stage at Glastonbury and said fuck the Goto Revolutionary Army and nips are never getting their title back
>>18121446finally some real heat
>>18121446>fuck the Goto Revolutionary Armyit was "death to the Goto Revolutionary Army" actually
>>18121267new cope has dropped
grim and delusional noojapoo fans
>shingo lost
>taichi lost
>goto lost
rough month for old man enthusiast fujos
>>18095877>No one's ready to be the star of the show !>So we keep the belt on old man Goto !Shin Nihon got so much more grim after one show that the official Grim1 Crymax theme is already obsolete.
>>18121446>socialist goes on stageGOTO PUT AWAY THE SHORT SWORD, SOMEONE GET HIM OFF THE STAGE
The real grim was Goto-ojisan winning the title. Zack should have never lost it. This is un-grimming.
>>18121990go back to bed taichi
>we needdo whito piggu at forbidden door
basically a white piggu dictatorship going on
jay white in 2023
in 2023 they put sanada in a piss break match while okada was tapping out to a white piggu
then 2024 they had moxley come in as the champion
then 2025 they again wanted a white piggu in the mix
>>18122224weebs are so fucking cringe good lord
>>18122224white gods are superior to nippon inferiors
you lost the war
we bombed hiroshima and gave ya cancer
don't get uppity
if you wanna blame someone then blame emperor hirohito
>>18122224Koreans 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.
>>18122224>New Japan>never highlight your Japanese talentsgrim !
>>18122224japanese women beg for white piggu cock
aaron wolf is a proof of that
>>18122326>son shows up at next show with blonde hair and a Young Punks jacket

Goto Revolutionary Army member and pineapple Yuna Mizumori:
>As someone who was rooting for Goto-san, Iโm really, really disappointedโbut I honestly think the *true* power of the Goto Revolution starts from here.
>[Those who believe are the ones who spark revolutions]
>Alright then! Iโm gonna dooo my bestโโ!

>>18118377>guy who looks like Kojima works as a cameraman >Kojima shows up at the Death Pain showvisual plea
Actually it seems like he was there for Kasai but the whole experience made him remember the power of wrestling
>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.
>>18123057>they changed the finish because Goto got hurt in the matchHoly shit
>>18121025>Inoki borrows funds just to show title changes live on TV>Bullshitroad with all the money they have donโt They deserve this backlash.
>>18123057>Tanahashi-san...Looks like ours fans weren't too happy about this title change. They are talking shitto on Twitteru as well...What shall we do?
>>18123057Kek, 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.
>>18123209Observe this brother!
that'sh right ! no one can get more popular than the shin ashe ! a lesson for Goto-shan !!
>>18123057I knew it. So that is why they decided to have ZSJ win the match. It was literally a mid-match decision. Holy shit.
>>18123093Holy shit indeed, brother
>>18123183 >>18123209>>18123168>>18123168>>18123080Retarded schizos. Goto is really injured you stupid fucks. Get your AEW derangement syndrome treated.
>>18123359whatever you say AEWds schizo, very subtle, funny stuff
you nujamals were getting too cocky with your lil goto revolution
always remember that aew is your master
never forget
this is the grim era
It could be a work injury, it could be a shoot injury, im not sure which is worse.
>>18123421Fuck 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.
>>18123430because you nujamals needed a grim reminder
>>18123435Tony I swear to god, one day we will take you down. Aaron Wolf will save NJPW from you.
>>18123434Tony would be doing them a favor there
>>18123426Nothing worse about it as a work if it's a piece of drama for the G1
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.
OP won't make new cause he scared of all the grim posting and doom gloom
Yep, the grimsters won. They were right all along.
I never want to see another /njpw/ thread ever again. This company is too fucking grimola.
>>18123464Yup, this white boy fucking sucks
>>18123500Based 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)
