Grim

We need to do something about the Shingo Takagi problem

>>18316483 (OP)
despite his injury Gabe remains on the cards on the site

Laugh at Pole-schizo for being a joshipedo

>>18316501
did they not know that they could have booked a draw if they didn't want zack or gabe to lose?

hey Dribbler Baloney you're rides here

yoshi smashy

>>18316510
what's with the Polish bashing around here? I'm a Pole myself and I hate joshipedos with a burning passion

>>18316534
One of your countrymen (revealing his flag during the April Fool's event on /pol/ when /pw/ was forced there) is a joshipedo who spams the thread with buzzwords, actively hates NJPW, shit talks all the wrestlers, and generally just tries to ruin the thread for everyone

>>18316544
I must've missed it then. Some of my countrymen are too much into weeb "culture" and it turns the way you can imagine.

>>18316557
I'm sorry this ignominy has fallen upon your homeland, anon. I'm also sorry that I've wished many times for him to be killed by Russian drone strikes.

The bushidrone schizo got worked into a melty so damn hard he left the board for weeks after the Griminion disaster. I thought he finally killed himself but I'm happy to see he came back and gets worked into another shoot melty after the very grim start of the Grim1 Crymax.

I don't defend Bushiroad, though. I think they're cheap pieces of shit that are actively trashing NJPW's value by being so stingy with the purse strings.

However, I am an actual real fan of NJPW unlike you. I enjoy the shows, the work of a lot of the wrestlers, and the overall presentation.
I do not like AEW but I don't spend all day crying about it or hatewatching it as you've been doing (exposed by other anons)
You're a joshipedo and a loser and your suicide is inevitable. You can act like it's just me that hates you but you've been getting shit-talked and told to fuck off on a daily basis for years at this point and not just by me.

nice melty, bushidrone.

Naito would rather do that than wrestle for New Japan.

>>18316867
when did he ever defend bushiroad though?

Chase Owens was wrestling in Korea a few days ago. Hiromu is wrestling in NOAH now. NO ONE wants to wrestle for New Grimpan Pro Grimming anymore grim grim grim grim SHUT IT DOWN STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT IT STOP MAKING THOSE THREADS STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME

kek he refers to himself in third person

I hope Tanahashi gets injured real bad before Wrestle Grimdom.

>>18317589
This. We all hope Tanahashi is going to die, followed by Nooj's demise.

Is there any hope?

>>18318206
'fraid not

>>18316498
i will solve the shingo takagi problem by having passionate sexual relations with him

where's the fucking maori retard who never masturbates

>>18318614
he's joining talla tonga and jc mateo in wwe

>>18318651
Regardless of Henare's future it's still been so fucking weird to just see all the islanders in NJPW leave their midcard spots in succession and jump into spotlight stories in WWE

yeah i don't think anyone really cares about nujapan grim wrestling anymore

>>18318782
you care enough to endlessly schizo post

>>18318614
He fucked up his knee really bad during WTL league, somehow on the exact same show Newman fucked up his knee. Out for a year.

>>18318651
He told the office the offer WWE gave him and told him he wanted to stay. And besides, Maori don't mean shit

>>18318590
how fat are you? do you have a big sister type of personality?

cumming inside oiwa's big butt

Yuya Uemura is the GOAT

>>18316501
They'll wait last minute to call him off each card like they did ELP. No way he makes it back tho

>>18318955
>t. kaito

yep no one cares about nujapan anymore
its all about aew now

Insider here. Gabe vs Takeshita was the plan for the finals. And his injury is not looking good at all. Now every booking plan is uncertain. Something I've heard is that Umino is going to pick up Gabe's role as the unruly defender of New Japan's honor.

I bet Shingo would love black pussy if he tried it

>>18319109
You faggots have killed Insider-kun's credibility with these imposter posts. You niggas told me Jake Lee would come back and he still can barely walk.

>>18319138
Jake is coming back to take the title from Goto anytime now, just trust me on this one bro

>>18319138
The only "insider" ITT are the many voices crowding the head of the schizo who both makes the threads and then dumps nothing but NJPW hate inside of them

Shota's selling is fucking awkward, I think that's my biggest problem with him. That Drilla match was all over the place.

don't worry I got thish !

>>18319218
He wants to do the Ibushi robot thing which works with his emotionless face but he has no aura and he looks kinda stupid still

>>18319248
I feel like the timing of when he no sells can be weird too. There was way too much of it last night I thought.

>>18319138
The insider in the previous thread was the legit one.

>>18319248
Ibushi was an unpredictable and dangerous super athlete and laud in his strikes (aside from those shitty palm strikes). Shota is just a guy. I think Ren could pull it off, it'd give a nice "oh shit" feeling when the giggling geek heel puts that face on and starts swinging

yeah i agree
shota umino fucking sucks

Ibushi has a kickboxing background. Shota has a "my-dad-works-here" background.

>>18320708
The only young guys who are good at striking are Oleg, Oiwa, and Gabe. Shota sucks, Narita sucks, Tsuji sucks, Newman sucks, Drilla's strikes are weak as fuck too.

>>18320708
I like ghoulish bloodied Ren and the idea of him letting loose and swinging but his normal match style is basically just heavyweight Kanemaru

Wolf wants to be like the Jomon, apparently

>>18321660
his background doesn't play that much of a role in it. At heart he's genuinely crazy so it works

excited to see what ebinada do to each other tonight

Are they gonna sacrifice Kaito endorsed big dimes domestic power guy Oiwa on the altar to AH FUCK SHIT AH FUCK I'M SELLING AHH FUCK Newman tonight

>>18323124
Oiwa is mid. Oscutter and Bloody Sunday incoming

>>18316483 (OP)
He needs to get the rights to the 1999 Jeff Jarrett theme.

>>18316483 (OP)

>>18323124

>>18323787
If he doesn't do power moves can you really call him a power guy.

grim show as usual today

>>18324675
Stupid sexy Sanada...

>>18324675
no wonder the limes i bought were only pith, SANADA took all the zest

>>18324675
get it gaped and pissed in

>>18324675
This company is a joke

>>18324675
It's not a coincidence that as New Japan falls into disarray, SANADA loses his mind as well...

>>18324891
SANADA isn't the IWGP World Heavyweight champion so I agree with you

how do you go from this
to THIS
>>18324675

>>18324956
It is called a heel turn anon, you see in this fine sport of professional wrestling sometimes the good guy becomes a bad guy, it spices things up you know? Stick around, next week we'll tell you about how a bunch of the good guys and bad guys are actually friends behind the scenes and don't use their real names in the ring!

Shoutout to Katsuya Murashima for setting the tone for tonight

imagine getting outdraws by all japoo my fucking sides HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>18325282
>sips loudly

>>18325282
>>18325290
Yota Sippy

>>18325093
Yappari the Saito shitters are bigger draws than Tsuji and Uemura.

>>18324995
Maybe they shouldve had him wrestle in Sapporo so the crowd wouldn't be as shit as they were

>>18325404
And they're supposed to be the better ones lmao, just sell that shithole to TK already

JEONG MOSQUE LI

gaped klitt

>>18324675
holy gay-ola

no matter which fed you watch you get DDT

tomorrow I win and become shin ashe

Yeah I should have never trusted Uemura to win anything. What a fucking loser. He will never beat Tsuji.

>>18326437
He's gonna beat Tsuji in the next round

>>18326445
Nice try. Not gonna fall for it again.

Shota hmmmmmmmmmino is so badass
Undertaker would be impressed

>>18326437
If Tsuji is going to win the entire G1 as expected, it’s weird that he would win here. Makes me think Uemura is in a higher position.

>>18326295
Because SANADA is wearing a fishnet or little comedy bit during HoT match? Because that shit is so mild kek

>>18324675
Holy fucking yum

>Geez it's hardly even that homosexual. Have you even BEEN to the San Francisco Pride Parade? Let's have some perspective.
the state of this industry

>>18326998
it's the reiwa era oji-san, homophobia is cringe and gay marriage will be legal in japan before the end of the decade, cry about it

Why the hell can't Tsuji lose like 10 pounds?

>>18327029
if anything he needs to gain weight and muscle because he's a fucking midget and is not wide enough

>>18327037
Well he needs to do about a thousand sit ups a day

his giant flabby gut hanging over his pants is very distracting
either embrace it and go full hashimoto or tighten it up

Gotta do the Misawa thing of pulling up his tights every time 10 seconds

>>18327029
The crazy thing is he lost the weight for the New Beginning match with Gabe, then never bothered to keep it off and went back to wrestling in tights. He lost some of his luster for me because it's not just a weight issue, it's always been a cardio issue and it hurts his matches. That and the weak spear finish put him beneath Uemura for me.

cant wait for tomorrow bois
they are gonna fight 1 on 1 for the first time ever
i used to see this match in my dreams

>>18327407
you were dreaming about drilla moloney vs yoshi-hashi?

Shota Umino will MURDER Zack Vegan Jr. tonight in Nagaoka. He will become completely unhinged. Watch out.

I'M A ROUGHNECK YOU KNOW

>>18327407
Legit no clue which match is this about

>>18327924
could be yoshi vs drilla or takeshita vs o-khan or trick williams vs undertaker

>>18327990
Maybe YOSHI HASHI will GET BACK UP from the Drilla Killa and then turn the match around with a LOOSE EXPLOSION. I can see why someone would be excited for this match.

BOOK A FUCKING STANDBY MATCH YOU RETARDS

surely he won't be back before the g1 ends? just have him drop out and rest

>>18328803
GABE GABE KWAB READY

>>18329185
He's a madman, you know?

>>18316490
>>18316782
>>18324687
I'm sorry, grimposter, but you actually lost this time.
The G1 has been kino.

We should've had Shingo vs Nagai yesterday. Keeping Gabe's opponents off with no chance for the fans to see them wrestle is just gonna hurt their floundering ticket sales more.

>>18329395
Which is a weird choice because when Naito went down in the G1 they just had his opponents open the show with Young Lions to give fans half of the equation

>>18329866
Naito was an actual big star

the savior of shin nihon

>>18330035
The "second chapter" is like he wrote a bold first paragraph and then ran out of ideas and just went back to the first

>>18330035
So Second Chapter is just him being a throwing lariats and being a little silly?

https://x.com/toru_ichikawa16/status/1947826866318160108
Guess who Naito picked to win

>>18328803
So they still haven't decided on Gabe's contract status, huh?. Damn, Tonikan must have offered a lot of money for the Gabe Kidd toy.

>>18330035
Send him on a 2nd excursion. If he doesn't get a clue then we can have a 2nd gen Captain New Japan

https://x.com/CMLL_OFICIAL/status/1947906816127512982

hmmm

>>18330647
that one anon is going to hate this

>>18329263
As a grimposter I'll admit the last show was good but the first 2 shows were complete shit and dimeless. Today's show will be grim though.
>>18328803
grim

>>18328803
can't they just replace him with someone else?

>>18330969
He already started the tournament so no

>>18330969
too late
chase owens went to korea
ishii returned to tonikan toybox

>>18330969
No. They can replace his matches with his original opponents vs a Jr or dad or whatever but those are just no-stakes singles. Plus they'd have to run to Takeshita and whoever else Gabe missed on and say they have to wrestle extra on A block shows so the new guy can get a proper record. Doesn't work like that.

>>18330994
Chase sould start bringing a giant plastic bottle of Soju with him to the ring when he gets back

>>18331037
>>18331037
>>18331037

>>18331016
hes gonna bring an entire korean bbq grill with him for fale and himself

Can't wait for them to force Tsuji in a 40 minutes dome main event that would have been better if it was 20

It's amazing watching everyone on twitter be so bipolar over Shota. All week screaming how he was the worst of all time and then he has 1 good match with his 1 good opponent and he's back on the right track for the 12th time

>>18331773
Huh? His best opponent is Gabe, not Zack

>>18331773
Even if he won, didn't feel this victory is a real turning point for him.

Is NJPW shoot dying? It's starting to feel like it a bit bros

>>18332063
yes
>>18332065
no

im catching up but i am enjoying the g1 and am excited to see how it ends

>>18332111
They are stupid enough to trust Cody Rhodes that was the moment that sealed both NJPW and AEW's fate. Why? Because he's a mole all along.

>>18332111
>Shota can't connect with the crowd
He did tonight.

>>18332146
>This time it'll be different in Shota's never ending push
We've seen this story before with Roman Reigns in WWE. Unless Shota gets Leukemia, he'll struggle to get over indefinitely

The road to the G1 was plagued with "nothing ever happens" booking. Shota turning heel and switching up his character? Nah. Shingo doing something different off the back of trying to murder Shota for a month straight? Nah he's just an incel with no belt. Goto leading the G1 as champion? Nope, Zack needs it.

This along with Fujita losing to Despy again and turning DOUKI for no fucking reason.

>>18331835
>Miss me yet?

>>18332190
not much, desu. if he shows up on a noah show fully recovered and killing it then ill miss him. for now i hope he convalesces and enjoys some damn fine soft serve

>>18332190
genuinely no. make sure your knees are ready for that NOAH run, GOAT.

>>18332157
what push?

>>18331835
Another proof that Zack and Shota are antidraw shitters. Inoki-san would be ashamed.

>>18332190
Naito would add nothing to this G1 but some fans in the stands. As a player, his best days are long behind him.

>>18332447
might as well book the whole G1 in Korakuen at this point

I really have no idea how Takeshita is just an anti-draw in Japan. The crowds never get behind him. I get he's kind of an "invader" in NJPW but I have to believe that if Choshu showed up today he'd get the same kind of non-reactions Takeshita gets instead of instantly becoming massively over.

Maybe Takeshita just needs to deck Red Shoes or something with one of his big forearms.

Pleashe shtop talking about attendansche ! I beat Zakku, I am shin ashe ! Right ?

>>18332528
Looking at the numbers, they only fill Korakuen the first two days lol

>>18330143
Tsujibros what the fuck???

President EVIL must punish this man for gross insubordination. Disgusting abuse of referee powers

>>18333155
Ripping the shirt off was one thing but Marty was shooting on Nobu at the end

>>18333178
NJPWs charles robinson

>>18333155
I thought Kanemaru got a referee licence for that one time he was a special ref for a KOPW match, why didn't Marty treat him like one?

Murashima or Nagai should pin Hartley on the G1 finals show, would be one of the biggest pop of the year

>>18333210
if murashima doesnt get a clean hartley body slam 1-2-3 victory i will riot

>>18333155
this nigga is in better shape than half the boys lol

>>18330049
Is that invisalign? Wtf is going on with his teeth?

predict the attendance of the next show in tokyo
I say 2.1 thousy

>>18330143
5 years later...forever pareja

Lets go Taichi!

>>18332190
i miss his presence and i miss hearing stardust, but i don’t miss watching him accidentally missing the rope. if he comes back wrestling better than ever then i’ll really miss him
>>18334618
let’s go taichi!

>>18332540
It's hard to build him up knowing he's going right back to America and that dual contract is just a meme to make NJPW feel better about pushing him.

>>18332540
In DDT he had literally nothing but being tall and able to have a great match. Good body outside the time he tried to do bodybuilding as champ and failed but he had no charisma, no interesting story for him outside of his partner turning heel, his faction was lame, and yet he spent years just beating everybody. Compare the Korakuen crowd reactions watching a Takeshita title defense vs a HARASHIMA defense and it's night and day.

The switch to AEW and going heel unlocked so fucking much in just a few simple ways. As a personality still though he's the same as he was in DDT but with a little more arrogance. If he was around more and carried that "fuck all you" dominant energy there's money there.

>>18332447
holy shit do they not realize this is all shota uminos fault? shitter poomino is an anti-draw. he will ruin the company. this is a new dark era for njpw and its all because of shooterino. someone kill him pls.

Since Shota already beat Zack, he isn't beating Zack in the playoff stage. It is now confirmed that Shota isn't winning the G1 which is a good thing. It will be either Tsuji or Takeshita, like everyone thought. Uemura might also win.

>>18336448
i hope takeshita wins the g1
he is only one who can save njpw besides yoshi hashi

Do you watch every G1 match or do you pick and choose? I decided to pass on last night after seeing everything up to it, Drill and YOSHI battling for first just seemed insane and I had no real interest in the match-ups but I hear Oka showed out and Shota actually got a reaction so I might take a look.

oh I broke my neck and paralyzed myself, but I need to finish 8 more matches or I won't get a shot at this Indy belt.

>>18336806
Skipping Yoshi-hashi matches is the most tell-tale sign of a pleb I've ever heard of

He has good G1 matches

>>18336854
Not falling for this. Not gonna watch YOSHI HASHI of all people in 2025. He shouldn't even be in this fucking tournament. The only reason he is in the tournament is because NJPW got raped. They have no one else.

>>18336806
I have all the shows on but my level of caring and paying attention varies. A Drilla Moloney match isn't getting my full focus like a Taichi match.

>>18336854
>He has good G1 matches
name one match rated 5 stars or even 4.5 stars by big dave. a cagematch rating of 8 or above would be acceptable too.

>>18336854
Everyone has good G1 matches that doesn't mean I want to watch YOSHI-HASHI and Drilla Moloney battling for first place

>>18337115
>>18337165
>>18337189
Continue to be filtered by the LOOSE EXPLOSION
>cite cagematch or meltzer
o i am laffin

>>18337189
What's wrong with YOSHI HASHI? Do you even know his story heading into this G1? He is fighting for his fallen CHAOS comrades Hirooki Goto and Tomohiro Ishii. Those strong 思い are driving him and bringing out the best version of him. He is better than he has ever been.

YOSHI HASHI is booked to defeat the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Zack Shitter Jr in the block finals. YOSHI HASHI is gonna fucking snap when he sees Zack in that ring. He is gonna murder Zack. It is gonna be a bloodbath. Just you fucking wait. This tournament is all about YOSHI HASHI.

>>18337201
>>18337250
I just care about Tsuji and Takeshita in New Japan. Gabe is okay too but kind of annoying. If AEW signs Tsuji too then I will have no reason to tune into New Japan occasionally. I hope Tony signs Tsuji. Actually, I think I will start tweeting at Tony to sign Yota Tsuji from NJPW everyday. Probably with a different account each time.

>>18337279
Tsuji is loyal to Shin Nihon you fucking bitch

>>18316483 (OP)
Damn Tana is still going? I thought he was done. What about Naito?

>>18337288
Shut up. That's what you said about Gabe for the last 2 years in these threads and look what happened. AEW can sign whoever they want whenever they want from your poorfag promotion. Yen is weak. Everyone in NJPW is salivating at the prospect of getting an AEW contract. Nobody wants to wrestle for your shitty Shin Nihon. Naito would rather wrestle for Rev Pro. KENTA would rather wrestle for NOAH. Ishii would rather wrestle on AEW Collision. Goto would rather play a role in some movie. Don't get cocky. Know your place.

>>18337313
tana is retiring next year at wrestle kingdom, naito’s not retiring but he left nooj because of a disagreement in pay or whatever and took bushi with him, disbanding LIJ

>>18337313
>Tana
Retirement G1. He is just there to lose and put over young talent.
>Naito
Semi-retired pro wrestler and ice cream stall owner. He wanted to sell ice cream so he asked for less dates from New Japan. New Japan refused so he left the company. No I'm not kidding, that is really what happened.

>>18337359
>No I'm not kidding
yeah you are but i wish that were true

>>18337335
it's some creative difference type of disagreement that naito refuses to really specify on. i'm guessing he thinks theyre making retarded decisions (they are) while his body falls apart being on every show so it's all for nothing

I was down after day 1, but day's 2 & 3 were great.

Shota match was good today

we need more CMLL/NJPW connected players

we need aew-sama

>>18338387
fuck rocky

does big dave talk about new japan these days? did he review any of the g1 matches so far?

>>18337560
No, he's several levels beyond that.

>>18337560
You don't know this nigga at all.

Officially the new dark ages. Grim. Imagine getting outdrawn by the Saito brothers.

>>18338489
who the fuck wants to watch a 40+ year-old man with kids play gacha slop?

Outdrawn by Saito bros
Outdrawn by Kenta
Outdrawn by Mizuki

>>18338711
They're not wearing any shirts outdoors, that is very inappropriate. Somebody should have a word with those lasses.

>the guy crying and shitting his pants about njpw being grim all day long here doesn't like yoshi-hashi
what a fucking FAGGOT

>>18316483 (OP)
>Imma locket man!

>>18338714
>>18338725
very grim indeed

Well at least they outdrew the last Dynamite show

>>18339008
>Strong logo for TJP
KWAB

>>18338711
Love the Pure Taboo scene from the one on the right

>>18338711
if o'khan ever wants a gimmick change, sleazy vegas strip guy would really work for him

>>18339500
holy fucking dimes

>>18339500
Another victim of referee abuse turns to the bottle. You hate to see it

>>18339500
They should pay the photographer money for this pic. If NJPW Collection was still around I'd hunt for this card.

>>18339011
...Didn't get all of it.

Going to a G1 Climax liveshow in some days, no idea what to expect as it's my first njpw show. I only watched wwe/wwf. What are some fun wrestlers to cheer for? who is your favorite?

>>18340066
njpw sucks, no one is good, they're all chubby or skinny manlets with no charisma and they can't sell tickets cause no one gives a fuck, it's grim and you're about to witness some of the grimest shit in history

>>18340066
Just follow along with the crowd and whoever has the best looking merch and you'll have fun.

>>18340066
cheer tanahashi and EVIL in equally excessive measure and confuse the shit out of everyone around you

>>18340079
Nonsense, disco SANADA was worth my money and I'll pay to see Shingo anyday.

>>18340066
get refunded, don't go to this grim shit, fucking grim promotion, grim

>>18340079
Glad I was there in Osaka-jo Hall in 2017 for the peak of New Japan.

Just now catching up on the G1, it's great so far.

>>18340135
the peak will happen when they finally go all in on Toru Yano.

>>18340097
EVIL still has fans and the whole arena goes EEEEEEEEEEEE when he swings that leg forward

>>18340079
>>18340116
oh damn I always read that Japanese wrestling is really good. Can't refund the ticket but it wasn't expensive anyway.. guess I give it a try and gtfo if it gets boring. Seems like 4+ hours shows. Gonna cheer for EVIL

>>18340181
don't listen to these homos, it's still worth watching. They've lost some of their top guys in the last few years but NJPW will be fine because they are good at producing good talents.

YUTANI is ready brother

>>18340280
Someone fill me in on this nigga. Looks like he went the DOUKI route with his career.

[Good news] We will be able to watching select Hulk Hogan New Japan matches on NJPW World for free very soon.

>>18340193
they're so good at producing good talents that G1 tickets sales are at a record low. grim.

Tenzan is next I'm afraid

>>18340904
Yeah he's going to be the next one to retire after Tanahashi

Inoki-san must be happy, he's going to wrestledream with Hogan-san.

>>18340904
Sakaguchi's gotta be past 80, right?

>>18340296
he went to Mexico when he was like 17 and did all the indie route.
CMLL is pushing him strong with this Okumura team

Bets on who does a leg drop in Ota first?

>>18340687
They can't do it overnight dumbass, it takes a few years for workers to build credibility.

>>18341643
their last 2 stars and actual draws are Okada and Naito. They didn't build anyone else in almost 10 years. How long is it gonna be, bitch ?

>>18342303
Hope NJPW WORLD will make Inoki vs Hogan a free to watch match

>>18342358
they absolutely should
we need to benefit from his death to get some more eyeballs on NJPW, we really need it right now.

>>18342596
Who the fuck is we, bitch? Shut the fuck up.

>>18343655
nah I speak for everyone, we need to get some Youtube views on Hogan's death, it's a great opportunity. They should sell the G1 final show as a tribute show for Hogan, more people would watch the final and become fans.

>>18342303
F

>>18342358
>Inoki vs Hogan
Also Hogan vs Muta 1993 and Hogan vs Chono 2003

>>18341643
>>18341643
They can get steam back in mere months. Just stop fucking around and get a hot angle going.

>>18344935
Him and Nagai are getting way more than Murashima and Kato

what big angle would you guys book to ungrim Shin Nihon ?

>>18347255
shingo and nagai turning the unaffiliated into a sanseito faction

>>18347202
Murashima got one of the biggest reactions in Sendai. Yasuda has been out for too long to be anywhere near him.

>>18347255
Holographic Hogan vs Holographic Inoki

>>18348008
they're dead and all their fans are dead it wouldn't draw shit you retarded subhuman monkey

>>18347255
Shingo & Nagai laying out Hiromu & Tsuji at G1 Final

>>18348045
>doesn't know what Holographic means
SAAR

>>18347255
Pieter trafficking angle

>>18348876
GET BACK UP CHADS

>>18348347
who would care about this that isn't already following njpw you baboon?

>>18349245
It always starts with *someone* caring about it, retard. Engage the people already following, make sure to keep that momentum for them first and people not following eventually catch on. How do you think Los Ingobernables de Japon or the entire 2010s boom happened?

>>18316483 (OP)

Yeah, no. Nice try but nope.

What a fucking joke.

>>18347604
I'm talking about what they are being given to work with, Nagai with the Unaffiliated and Yasuda now with Taichi. Kato just kind of exists, Murashima has had a bit of Tanahashi stuff but isn't really attached to him.

>>18349484
Idk why they bother keeping him on these A block shows, if he's hurt then just pull him in advance so he's at his best condition for his tournament match

Don't get cocky

I'm enjoying the G1. I was worried after Grimminion and BOSJ, but it's been good.

>>18349484
>finlay/numan higher on the card than oleg/tsuji

hogan was a better person than inoki
inoki is burning in hell
hogan is wrestling in heaven

are they going to do a 10 bell salute on today's show?

>>18352491
Tana has to ask Big Tone for permission first

>>18352491
no
aew doesnt like hogan
if chris charlton dares mention hogan on commentary then big tone will suspend him again
one phone call is all it takes

>>18352491
They'll make mention of it but wait a few shows to do the full 10 bell

>>18347337
I think Nagai and Yasuda debuted first so they might be getting ready to send them off. Speaking of Yasuda he got booked on the upcoming shinichi champion show in the Ikemeb ranbo match along with You Sho and Hiromu

Grim1 Crymax.
