Thread 18419748

This is the destination for all based webms, brother
On tonight's docket: New Japan SOUL, Tanahashi Jam and NINE whole nights of G1 Climax action!

>>18419748 (OP)
based webmbro

I doubt you'll have much to clip, this has been a very lackluster G1 this year

I'm happy to be back! I'm starting off with one of my favorite matches of the past month, something I'm sure won't shock those of you that know how I feel about these two.
>>18419775
Rest in peace little man

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite moves in wrestling today.

Talk about airtime.

I love this exchange.

Yenola sell

webmbro? You're literally the only user on this whole fucking board that I like and is actually worth a damn. These threads are a constant reminder of why I keep coming back to this shithole. These threads are the equivalent of what a schizoid must feel when the meds kick in and the voices and hallucinations stop.

>>18421099
Yeah, I just glanced at the board before starting my thread and it's looking especially rough.
I appreciate the kind words and I'm happy to have you in my first thread back!

I'm not sure if I think Shun fits in Unaffiliated-gun, but these two are a good duo.

Holy based

I’m going to have to sign back up for NJPW World later this weekend. I miss watching New Japan and just because they’re not in a “boom period” doesn’t mean there’s not a lot of quality matches and athleticism being displayed for me to enjoy. Yeah, I think I will. As always I appreciate these threads. It’s nice to see some actual wrestling my on the wrestling board! Hope you’re doing well OP!

This is fucking nasty. I thought it was nasty while watching the match but it's even worse in hindsight knowing it's probably where Goto got hurt.
>>18421804
Thanks for the kind words! I'm happy to have you here, anon.

Surely doing this with your hurt elbow is a good idea.

Pure fucking yen

Maru's so smooth

>>18421818
Whether he just ended up actually getting hurt or a work to go be E.Honda it's just a shame they couldn't just air this live for us.

>>18419748 (OP)
Best thread on the board every week
Thanks Webmbro

GOAT to GOAT connection
>>18422386
Yeah, I agree. I don't get to watch much live nowadays but I agree that it's a shame.
>>18422396
Thank you for the kind words, brother. My threads would mean nothing without you people joining in!

What's his gimmick?

God I love Boltin, bros.

ZA GURIPPUUUUUU

I really like this combo.

>>18419748 (OP)
please have sex (with me, for providing based wrestling content)

>>18422856
I fear my wife wouldn't be all too happy

Tana, I'm begging you. Please

I like the pop on this exploder.

HOLY BASED

God Ishii rocks so much. It really sucks that it was between these two getting into the G1.

DAAAAAAAAAAANGEROUS

God Ishii's sells are so good.

Welcome back webmbrotherman

>>18423499
Happy to have you, brother.

>>18423375
Sad that the Ishii-ster isn't in but at least he's getting paid to suck on big florida titties

Based pants-off Misawaist
>>18423533
Yeah, I think it's a shame. I would've much rather had him in than most guys, he really is one of the best workers in the company still.

This match (I know it's a four-way, but the start was just an appetizer, let's be real) is easily in my top 3 for the "G1." So good.

#MYCHAMP

Despy's bump here is so good.

God DAMN I love this counter so much.

I really did hope Fujita would win, but a new Numero Dos variation is a very honorable way to go. Damn this looks like it hurts.

And, finally, onto the G1!

>>18419748 (OP)
>>18419796
Oh damn. Glad you are back, brother. Literally the only reason I visit /pw/. Time to get comfy.
Hope you have been enjoying the G1 so far.

>>18423992
>Hope you have been enjoying the G1 so far.
I'm enjoying it. I think it's a bit weaker than past years', but I've been having fun. Really excited to see what the other companies have been up to while I was gone.

>>18424016
gonna be honest aside from having a kino finisher Drilla is not doing it for me

on the other hand he is top class on commentary, one of the best wrestlers on commentary ive ever heard
he has a future in that more than wrestling i think. he's quite good in that role as the wrestler color guy.

>>18424028
>gonna be honest aside from having a kino finisher Drilla is not doing it for me
I wouldn't be that harsh, but I think he's better suited as a big junior than a small heavyweight, which is just what I thought when he announced he was moving up too. I agree about the commentary, though. He's a good color guy.

>calls himself "The Sun of NJPW"
>gets thrown into the sun

>Really excited to see what the other companies have been up to while I was gone.
I'll be enjoying your webms of it, heh.

FUCK, this looks like it hurts.

>>18424148
yeah he hit that weird as fuck

what do you think about oiwa? i like him but i do agree with others who say he needs to use a few more power moves. it just suits his look.
doctor bomb is great -- im the doctor death mark always asking you for webms of his matches -- but i'd like to see him do more than a german, a chaos theory, the big lariat and the doctor bomb

>>18424185
>what do you think about oiwa?
Maybe my favorite of the new generation, but I'm biased because I was a huge fan of him since basically the day he debuted and I followed his excursion in a way I basically haven't followed anyone else.
>i like him but i do agree with others who say he needs to use a few more power moves
Interestingly I think I'm the opposite. Yeah, he's huge, and I agree that big fuckoff moves suits his look, but his grappling is insanely strong and heavily underutilized in NJPW. My favorite match of his is the match against Kaito from last year's N-1 and that was basically just him working a headlock for 30 minutes.

>>18424216
Yeah, I agree with you but his grappling should be the firm foundation that he builds things on top of. I'm an AJPW guy at the end of the day and I think everybody should cultivate multiple big moves that can end matches. You don't have to do them all the time and shouldn't really but they should always be loaded in the chamber, for the sake of match variety.

>>18424224
Really good points. I like the Ark Clutch and I do think it's a believable finisher with arm work to back it up. The issue with the multiple finishers thing (which I agree is the best, and one of my favorite parts about peak AJPW/NOAH) is that NJPW flatout just doesn't do that. Every guy has one finisher, sometimes one submission maybe one signature rollup, and as soon as they get a pin with something new the old one is immediately replaced. Shingo's Burning Dragon is a great example of that.

SLUMPED

TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>18424365
Love Take's BTBomb

Ouch.
>>18424445
Yeah, it's insane. Especially the ones where he's doing half a sprint through it as well. Bafflingly impressive.

Zack's thrown some absolutely fucking LETHAL slappa this tour.

I really loved this match. Narita has a perfect dickbag counter to all of tekkers and enough tekkers of his own to capitalize on it all. My MOTTSF.

That's the last one from me for tonight! Thank you all for the warm welcome back after my absence! Tomorrow I'll be back with about as many webms just from night 2-9 of the G1, so look forward to that! I'll see you all then. For now, I'm leaving the thread with the Eurobros. Goodnight, bros.

>>18422577
Everyone loves Boltin. Even the /njpw/ trolls like Boltin. I hope he gets a world title run sooner rather than later

>>18419775
>>18419796
did anyone post when Murashima shoulder tackled Jackson? happens right before this iirc >>18425460

Bamp

>>18424383
Crazy to think Gabe went about this whole match fine and then couldn't go for the rest of the tournament

>>18425518
here ya go.

what if we were to bump the webm thread tho

anyone has a webm of that old japanese dude who loves to hit his head on the ring post on the outside? he takes it really head first too

>>18427100
youre probably gonna need to be more specific but ive got this one for ya

>>18427253
NJPW needs to poach Higuchi right now

>>18427253
Oh yes it's this jap. You got it on the first try.
What's this guy's name again?

>>18427263
Higuchi, the GOOCH MAN

>>18427269
Based. I rarely watch japanese wrestling but pop into the webm threads from time to time and he won me over instantly.

wait, Higuchi is ONLY 36? I thought he's like 50 or something

>>18427284
its a hard life head butting ring poles and getting molested by danshoku dino

Thanks for your work, webmchad

*sip*

I'm back! Thank you all for keeping the thread bumped. I'm going to continue with G1 action!
>>18427100
Seeing as you were looking for Higuchi I know this isn't it, but it fits the bill of "old japanese dude who loves to hit his head on the ring post" even more than Higuchi. Dude even got in trouble with the dojo back in the day for trying to challenge people over it.

That's a HEAVY drop.

BIG BOLTIN

BASED

TOP GUY NAGAI POSTER
YOUR TIME IS NOW

>>18429959
his goofy smile fuckin kills me

>>18430138
It's awesome, looks cartoonish in a way and that really fits him teaming with Tsuji

No matter what my opinion on EVIL as a whole becomes, I'll always love this move. So good.

>>18427260
They're friends now, no poaching. Give him an IWGP title shot though.

>>18430444
I haven't seen Higuchi grapple much in his matches, but IIRC he's got a background in judo on top of his sumo stuff. I'd love to see him against Boltin.

Based Kobashist

>>18426426
nice. thank you

O-Khan should lean into this even more. It's easily the best looking part of his arsenal and the most unique in terms of the full roster.

These are really good sells too. I'm beginning to think he might actually be the next Ishii.

Ow.

>>18430864
Taichi is basically an AJPW Greatest Hits playlist between this, the dangerous backdrop, and the black mephisto being very much a misawa-kind of movie

GEDO
STRAP
NOW
>>18431662
He used an Emerald Flowsion in the Ishii match, then there's the Kawada kicks and the Jumbo lariats/backdrop. It's clear where he comes from.

Bro's got too much heart for his own good.

YEAHHHHHHH

Weird fucking crab. I like it.

HUGE

Feud of the year

God bless Nobu for doing his part when the ref got knocked down

GEDO
JR STRAP
NOW

>>18433351
They always talk about Asami's extensive amateur background

if he had been bigger he would undoubtedly be a wrestler

>>18433391
I don't remember, who was the guy who (supposedly) signed up to be a ref but got scouted for the junior division somewhere? I think it might have been Nobu or Gedo but I'm not sure.

Sometimes I feel like I can still see Jay's face, bros.

Based as fuck lil finner

HUGE GUY NAGAI

KILL

Based as fuck sell

Been really enjoying the Murashima/Hartley Jackson meathead feud on the undercard tags.
Murashima is impressing the hell out of me especially.
