GO GO TAKESHITA
GANBATTE TAKESHITA
GO GO TAKESHITA

konosuke takeshita fucking sucks

>>18331054
and somehow getting worse

they'll be lucky if they even make 2 thousy with this grim card

>>18331083
I watch for the in ring action. I already know attendance will be poor all around, so I simply don't care.

KIMERO
SAIKYOU

Disconada is here, bros

Almost feel like SANADA is more over with this gimmick than he was as the champ.

It's just you and me in this thread

No Rocky this is NOT the danger zone

Is Gabe done for the entire tournament?

>>18331134
As long as we don't start calling each other schizo that's fine with me

>>18331129
Its some actual personality on display so for me he's over

>>18331139
seems so

>>18331139
He can miss a couple more shows and still be in contention points wise.

Holy shit, all those empty seats during Boltin Shake...Grim.

>>18331129
him doing all this and still trying to wrestle is what gets me

Nice reaction for Yuya just coming out

>>18331165
He has a sweet new theme on top of it kek

Feuding with a mediocre young lion with bad hair is the ideal ceiling for Jacob

>>18331186
I take back the mediocre part he's looking pretty good

>>18331190
He needs to bring back the C block gimmick Finlay was running a couple of years ago.

there's so many empty seats what the fuck

>>18331197
-> >>18331037 (OP)

How is Fale so fucking fat?

They can only have simple tag matches in the undercard, but Fale gets a flight in to stand outside

>>18331208
Islander genetics

ebirubros we got a clean win!

>>18331212
Seniority brother

Tsuji aura farming like crazy

Oiwa has nice thighs

>>18331226
His silhouette is great, so is his smile. Feel like he really doesn't know what to do with his peepers.

No more Blueji

>los ingobernables logo on his kneepad
kek

finner nagai

We all love Tenzan don't we, folks?

rocky doesnt know what the marlowe on tsuji's ass is

what happened to that young lion who was the son of some legendary luchador?

Murashima is a better wrestler than most of B block look at this fat nigga go

>>18331263
It's Yasuda isn't it? He got beat earlier tonight by EVIL.

Murashima should face everyone Gabe misses from this point on

>>18331272
Genuinely think Murashima has my favourite powerslam in wrestling right now, although if he continues to bulk up I'd love to see him do a full Oklahoma Stampede ala Steve Williams.

I MIGHT HIT THAT DRILLA RIGHT

So how many chances has YOSHI HASHI to beat Drilla?

>>18331293
75%

Drilla looks so fucking dimes it's a shame he's such a mid singles wrestler

>crucifix match one
>rollup match two
I'm thinking small package tonight,

YOSHI HAAASHI

>>18331297
He needs the right opponent and boring shitters like Great O Khan aren't it.

seriously what the fuck
there are way too many empty seats
more like empty sections

>>18331307
The upper seats look full but the 1st floor seats are baron. Looks like 1800 or so

>>18331297
Drilla's look with Finlay work is the perfect gaijin wrestler.

that landing is exactly how naito fucked up his knee in the g1 4 years ago

glad the crowd is standing with yoshi-hashi

YOSHI HASHI developing an indy ass moveset complete with a destroyer is so based

yoshi hashi is the GOAT

never a doubt

alright Yoshi Hashi!

>>18331298
Fuck, my prediction was wrong, still glad for the Yoshter.

WOAH

YOSHI HASHI RUN

>>18331298
Nah we got Karma flowing here

GET HEAD HUNTED FUCK NIGGA

the goto revolution is still alive through yoshi hashi

Narita feels inches away from having an actually decent presentation

>E
>L
>P
IMA
HEADBANGA

I don't know why but ELP feels like a GILF hunter

>>18331339
I'm glad we got a strong win through Karma, but I am a bit sad that my dream of an all bullshit finish oldguy run is over. Could have been amazing to see an undefeated run with the results being something like
>Crucifix
>Roll up
>Small Package
>Sunset Flip
>Victory Roll
>School Boy
>Backslide
>Rana (reversal)
>Count out
I will trade that for a deep run though.

These new niggas love limbwork so much. Someone take a bump on the floor or something man

Near 40 doing this shit when Seth Rollins can't jump without tearing something in his knee.

JADO NOOOOOOOOOO

Ren getting setup for a winter of title challenges.

brb guys i need to take a massive shit all of a sudden

Aura

Nigga got silver painted nails

I like Takeshita but "The Alpha" is such a cringe title to pick.

>>18331395
Beta male take

Crowd is hot on Oka.

O-Khan from Nagaoka? Why do they love him so much

I've had to turn the English commentary off. I know Rocky is supposed to be a heel but him talking about how good a kisser Tony Khan is, is a little excessive

>>18331413
Nah, he is from Gunma iirc. I think he just does really well with crowds outside of the big cities overall. I think the whole "regional revitalisation" angle actually got over with Japs.

some nice nerve damage on takeshita rn

takeshita wtf was that

When Oka does the turnbuckle sit thing I get up on my chair's back and do it with him

he fought worse weirdos in the past with DDT why the passive start

>>18331429
It's Okhan you expect a high octane start?

>>18331429
He didn't wrestle in DDT, and I don't think Takeshita is too weird, dude just paints his nails.

>>18331432
Anon...

>>18331419
reminds of marufuji after kenny threw him into the turnbuckle and nearly ended his career. hope he's alright

takeshita's thigh slaps are fucking perfect

>>18331417
rocky is a fucking faggot

Stop spamming that fucking claw ffs

Oka carried that match and faggots won't be able to see it because they decided they didn't like him a year and a half ago.

Best OKhan match I've ever seen. ****1/2

>>18331451
OKa gave a better performance than Takeshita. Takeshita was strong but was missing something.

>Everyone trying to have their best match with Takeshita to set up a rivalry
I think Takeshita is winning the title lads

>>18331451
to be clear i only bitched about Oka's last win because I'm a Shingod fan. I still like O-Khan more than most

He's so cool

>>18331459
This. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to shit on Takeshita with my comment, it is just very "heads I win, tails you lose" where people won't credit him for a good match even if he was the top worker in it, but will shit on him for a bad match even if we wasn't the poor worker. People just decided to shitlist him a while back and have stuck by it, reminds me of YOSHI-HASHI and even TAICHI in previous years.

Shota saw that kid right there then ignored him and gave his shit to a random Bullet Club kid lol

>>18331451
only meltzer poofters dont like Okhan

>>18331432
yen repellent theme

(from Shingo btw)

>>18331472
this but directed at zack

NO DIMES

>>18331474
Shingo SHOOTS HARD on Shota Umino

>>18331467
I was rooting for Takeshita but I was more impressed with Oka overall performance. If he used the claw just twice my opinion for this match would improve. For some reason Takeshita had a slow early and mid and picked his usual pace very late, IDK why

THANK GOD FOR THE 30 MIN TIME LIMIT

When is Shota going to stop being a bitch?

>>18331475
kek I am being completely serious when I say that Zack's new theme sucked whatever energy was left in the Tokyo Dome that day

I love how commentary refuse to acknowledge how bad that WK match was. Like the only issue is that Shota lost even though that's all he does

he's not young or a punk

>>18331474
>I’d like to see the faces of his parents
red shoes is right there pareja..

there's too much legwork on these shows

i hate how shota spends 2 minutes locking the leg for his stf only to have the weakest chinlock I've ever seen with that move

>>18331494
was it ever actually acknowledged in kayfabe that red shoes is shota's dad? I feel like that was a thing that was brought up once or twice at the start and then dropped

>>18331488
the crowd was hot in the building, i guess you just had to be there. zack somehow carried him on 4/1

man i do not give a FUCK about seeing zed ess jay sell for a whole match

>>18331507
>i guess you just had to be there
I was probably closer to the inside of the building than you were to be pretending people made noise during that

>>18331513
I was 10 rows from the ring

...Shota's gonna win isn't he?

Heel ref Red Shoes

after tonight, I've given up on Umino

>>18331526
If he doesn't then he's winning the G1. Gedo loves booking matches in sets of 3

What's Shooter problem

>Shota chants
New Japan fans are as lost as he is

grim

shota next champ

>>18331503
They bring it up every single match

that lariat was nice

>>18331503
zsj said that out loud during the match

Shota makes for a great Goto/Suzuki level uppercard worker. I don't need to see him challenge for a 3rd time, though. If Gabe makes it he can set up a Global title shot for Kobe since they have a much more interesting story.

>Shota is going into WK as the champ
Unironically grim

It is a very different room than months ago, Rocky. Look how empty it is.

has Shota even held a midcard title? why does this nigga have to jump for the IWGP? WHAT is even his record against Tsuji

Shota umino fucking sucks

>>18331557
To be fair, Rocky works for AEW, he doesn't care about empty venues

>>18331559
Faced Tsuji in the G1 2 years ago and lost that's about it.
>has Shota even held a midcard title?
None of the fucking young guys have won anything yet except Tsuji and Boltin. That's the problem.

>>18331560
He just had the best match of the tournament btw (and he still shouldn't challenge for the IWGP, hopefully Gabe vs Shota for the Global is the move for WK)

>yoshi leading the block
based head hunter

>>18331567
Narita has held the TV title and Uemura has held the KOPW title. Umino is the only titlet

>>18331585
How utterly grim for uemura

>>18331567
Yeah I just don't understand Shota being in this position. Tsuji was the only young(er) guy I thought would have been in a IWGP title match or two this early. They need to fucking chill after that Wrestle Kingdom disaster. Having him hit rock bottom and shave his head just to shoot him back to the top again? Come on man.

>>18331475
