nice job wasting hour time

NO HULKSTER TRIBUTE? FUCK YOU TRANNYHASHI

GRIM

gabe officially withdraw from G1

Can they do Moloney vs ishimori or something

>>18352848
they always do it a few hours before, and if it wasn't today, it'll be the next day

>>18352848
Tonikan made the call

Did Sanada let Gabe borrow some shorts?

he's walking on it so unlikely he's gone for too long right?

>>18352850
>Western fans turn on him for his AEW appearance (he's clearly gotten to)
>Has to pull out of the G1
Gabe mental health crisis incoming

>>18352862
they didn't specified his injury?

>aiming for Forbidden Door
lmao you too, nigga?

>>18352869
he said he hyperextended it

>>18352872
>Forbidden Door in the UK
>Only UK guys left uninjured is ZSJ
Kek

>>18352868
waste of time for him to clarify he withdrawing when was clearly he couldn't continue with whatever kind of injury he got on his knee

haven't watched japanese wrestling in like 10 years but I woke up early today by chance and saw this
what am I in for brahs

So was Gabe swearing vengeance on Takeshita there?

So can we get some replacement matches now that we know he can't make it?

>>18352883
grim shit

>>18352875
might take a month for recover if he doesn't do something stupid meanwhile

>>18352884
Conveniently a storyline he can continue in AEW...

>>18352883
How do you like tournaments?

>>18352883
cheer for taichi and only taichi

>>18352880
>PAC dead too
damn
oi bruvs are gonna have to settle with zack and maybe drilla moloney lol

>>18352892
unironically I have never watched a wrestling tournament except brawl for all

>>18352900
Jeong Mogs Li can wear his Newcastle United hat.

>>18352872
what did i miss? who??

>>18352903
If you enjoy it in other forms of fiction you will get the jist of this. Tanahashi is having his final tournament so his match should be good.

>Aaron Wolf on young lion duty
Pay your dues, fat fuck.

>no Naito
>no Goto
>no Gabe
GRIM TO THE GRIMMEST 1

>DON'T DO A HOGAN TRIBUTE HE'S BANNED FROM MY SHOWS
>AND BTW I WILL TAKE MY GABE KIDD TOY EARLIER THAN EXPECTED

>>18352880
>>18352900
It's our time Sabian bros

>>18352913
I wonder what faction he will join. Hopefully it's not just Hontai

>>18352913
Should be how his debut match is set up, some prick should fuck with him while he's on duty

>>18352918
>Your Mind? Kevin Nash
>Tony Khan? The Summer of 1992

Is Jacob a Junior?

here's hoping yoshi gets slammed on a bunch of chairs in that singles match. give us something

>>18352935
yoshi will get another quick roll up win and you will like it

Big Jag vs Jado finna be lit

Jado is gonna pin Harley with a leg drop of doom as a tribute to the Hulkster

>>18352954
Honma should take Gabes spot and bring back Honmania in honor of The Hulkster.

V/r,
- HH

i want to do lewd things to zack as a birthday present

>>18352970
sup taichi?

elp relax lol

>"Stay away from the crowd shots tonight"
ELP demoralised by NJPW's attendance

>>18352695 (OP)
Why is there zero interest in the G1 this year?

>>18352994
Why are you here?

>>18352984
I laughed so hard.

>>18352998
Because I saw that there's zero threads in the catalog about anything that's happened so far

>>18352998
To laugh at Grim1 Crimax.

Honma should leave NJPW and go get some stem cell like Naito too

another worthless tag

these shows really fly by with a match missing every time

>>18352994
>The younger generation are generally underwhelming
>ZSJ is a meh world champ (the G1 would instantly be better if Goto was champ)
>Gabe Kidd out injured already
>The winner seems a bit obvious
>Tanahashi is a little sad to watch
The only thing going for this G1 is SANADA's outfits and a possible Taichi win

>>18353031
>complains about NJPW
>loves Taichi
every time

Walker what the fuck are you talking about tastes for Takagis?

>>18353036
I'm not complaining. I'm watching every night, but I can see why others aren't and why the discussion is pretty dead.

Fuck Rocky.

>Chris joking that Rocky is gonna poach Daiki Nagai
Walker gonna be doing the rest of the G1 solo

>>18353031
>>The winner seems a bit obvious
wait who is it going to be? its not Tana is it?

>>18353031
Tsuji, narita, umino, etc never had a chance with gedo's shitty booking. look at what tony khan did with swerve strickland in 2 years. or toni storm.

>uses BUSHI's rewind kick
i'll say it again >>18353058

>>18353041
a joke that takagi sounds like takis? no idea
>>18353075
it’s taichi

>>18353081
>look at what tony khan did with swerve strickland in 2 years
What? Turn him babyface and have him get beat up every week? He's not a draw lol

i hope zack wins lol

Kind of lame they skipped a tag match, they knew that Kidd couldn't compete so why not find a replacement?

Sanada giant gonzalez

based

>Kazakh monster vs fashion monster
>said fashion monster puts on El Gigante bodysuit
Aura

>he’s wearing it again
what is his fucking problem KEK

I get YOSHIHASHI being in every opener but why is Boltin stuck in that spot?

>>18353113
beer at 3pm for the people not on the card

>>18353113
A block niggas must be seething that everyone in B just gets to skip 2 shows

>>18353134
Gets the crowd going

SANADA is unironically the most cerebral wrestler in NJPW

How is that not a fucking DQ it's a blatant nutshot

holy nap time

>>18353110
Wins what?
>>18353113
Because nobody besides you cares that gaped klitt isn’t having a match

>>18353163
One testicle was still outside the ring

>>18353170
IDC about kidd kek It's fucking up with my schedule and might miss two matches because of that

Boltin is so fucking based

Boltin is pretty fucking awesome

good match if a little boring on sanada's end

kek what a two star classic

>Boruchin vs Tsuji next
I'm ready

Oh I forgot Newman was another brit. He can take whatever spot Ospreay had

Newman's theme sounds like an Air Gear OP.

if yuya takes callum down and submits him in 4 minutes with an armlock, it is the best callum match of the tournament so far. that is the sad truth.

kek what the fuck

What just happened

>>18353231
Newman is being a prick

SANADA left too much drip on the floor

I think the final might be Takeshita vs Yuya just based on the way other wrestlers are having matches with them. They seem to be trying to start rivalries with him (eg ELP having a banger with Takeshita or Callum just weirdly starting shit with Yuya)

NuMan wouldn't have done that if Aaron Wolf was on that apron

this show was based until callem jewman came out
>>18353244
youre a mark. first of all, ELP has already had bangers this year with Takeshita (Dontaku and Resurgence), so it's hardly a surprise that they had another 5 star match. and the wrestlers dont know who is going to win G1

>>18353228
>>18353231

commentators are so bad

Holy fuck goodbye to your liver nigga

Newman is actually awesome fuck the haters

yuya you should had ripped that brit's arm from his shoulder when you could kek

Sexy ass finish as usual from the Heato Stormu

unironically would have been better with no callum offense

New Japan will actually die if Yuya doesn't win the G1

LET’S GO TAICHI!!

Axe Bomber bros here we go

>>18353376
>yakuza like a dragon job

>Unapologetic Axe Bomber callback
Fucking BASED

KEK

Taichi reviving his career off nothing but tribute spots. The GOAT

>the winner is obvious
yep

he's so fucking good rn

>>18353417
ebil player a cute

plz save us, oiwa

i swear that kaiju roar in tsuji’s theme just sounds like a toilet flushing

>Yota Bluji tonight
Easy win incoming

blueji is back

nigga fuck off with the headlocks youre like 260

tsuji literally just wrestling like yuya for fun now

im kind of surprised and disappointed that EVIL hasn't had a title run with the heat that HoT would get

>>18353476
he had a title run last year you fucking MARK

>>18353476
He's based but he tanks the house when he's headliner. Does pretty fine even just a match below

This match is fucking awesome

oiwa might not win this but is giving a really good show

5 stars

this is the best tsuji's ever been. great match

>>18353495
I think a decent, shorter title run would be dependent on how over the guy he won it from is and his chase to win it back from EVIL while being sabotaged by HoT

FOUR SAVAGE GENERATIONS

TAKE THIS AS MY DECLARATION

finlay really forces the slow heel walk

So if Finlay loses this he's going to WWE and if he wins he's staying/going to AEW?

>>18353559
Im not gonna miss Finlay's 5 hour entrance walk when he goes to NXT with a retarded name before retiring in 3 years to become a coach.

Here comes President anti-draw

tanahashi is such a clown taking up 5 main events this g1 lmao.

>>18353571
Don't squash David Fitsbottom before he even starts.

>>18353561
Tana's dropping points to everyone except for SANADA and EVIL

i wish i could pull tana’s hair

put this walking corpse in the dirt finray

>>18353606
i think is what finlay wishes as well

It was jarring at first but I appreciate the lack of constant sawdusting the from new generation. Makes sense since half of them are already 30

Tana pls calm down

>>18353626
just wait for Tiger Mask V and his Canadian Destroyer

Gedo you too pls calm down

man, this is such a boring main event. they should had swapped with the previous match

WAKE THE FUCK UP FINRAY

>>18353657
>putting the youngsters over
lol no

>>18353665
Tanahashi has to have his moment for the 1000th time.

GO ACE
CLAP CLAP
GO ACE
CLAP CLAP
GO ACE
CLAP CLAP

>>18353665
then you can't complain that young guys are or not pushed enough and it's killing njpw if you don't start to give them main events

gotta love how ace can barely get over the top rope and still does the move off the top like 3 times for each finish

they have to make this guy stop

>>18353591
kek nevermind

kill him finlay. someone has to stop this

self mark bitch, hopefully someone injures him before january 4

Tana's weakest match so far but still very good

tanahashi is such a narcissist booking himself like this

they want this man to get seriously injured by the end of his retirement

Tanahashi doing a Hogan tribute by not putting anyone over

damn it he always brings me back with his guitar performances

>>18353702
he's not even a draw anymore, fujita vs yoh drew way more in the same building like two months ago

It's gonna be so fun if with all this hyping up to that judo guy he fails his debut match.
