[Good news] someone told him to shave his chest

>>18780573
he's got to get ripped, tan, and fix that hair

>>18780573
TAKA NOOOO

Oskar Leube's birthing hips

>>18780613
I always assumed white dudes don’t roid up in Japan because the style would make them more energy prone. Other than Omega, I guess.

>>18780573
Damn, he looks doughy as fuck

Somebody needs to get him on the good Jap roids stat, unfortunately his German autism will probably prevent it

>>18780477
They had one doctor and turned someone into a mecha, so dunno if that considered a good specialist or not

>>18780573
thank god

>>18780573
He looks like a clone of young Jay White gone wrong

>>18780573
I thought this dude put on some muscles during his excursion but he just looks skinny fat
grim

>>18780662
He looked great visually at that New Zealand show I peaked at. How did his body regress in 2 months without actually wrestling?

>>18781116
Grok doing Rockwells now?

>>18780470
Smegma is doing the job to Tsuji while the IWGP is recovered by the Roughneck Shota Umino

>>18781295
Considering that belt is 24 years old it's held up really well

>>18780460 (OP)
i want to put my ice cold doctor hands on yoh

>>18781487
>Kenny Osmegma
>doing the job in new japan
lmaooooo

>>18780573
man tits in his 20s when your job is being a pro wrestler? how does this shit happen?

Yota Tsuji fucking sucks.

>>18780573
fat fuck

>>18781295
Is he gonna hold this till their New Year's show? I dont see him losing to Eita so fast

the absolute state of this promotion
https://x.com/Master_Wato/status/1965398738551370068

>>18782467
if noah was a based and good promotion like njpw they'd have wheeler yuta-senshu win it before then

Save us Goto

narita ren will save us, trust me

>>18782467
Yeah probably. Now to who? Don't know. I just hope it isn't Hayata. He's popular with women, but he just doesn't have it.

>>18782857
YOH didn't even have his gear today. Grim times

For me, it's the Knock Out Brothers

>>18785693
kek

I'm so sad, who cut my boy hair like that.

Why are Japanese men so feminine?

>>18786676
Because it makes me feel good

help is on the way

>>18787417
oskar needs to talk to a certain knox county mayor and get his early 2000s gear and workout regimen

Will Jake Lee stay in war dogs when he returns? Wouldn’t really make sense to have two tall guys with shit bodies in the same unit

>>18787526
He's gonna win the IWGP title sooner rather than later.

>>18787536
Grim

Even Stardom is a better partner for CMLL now...

I'd rather a dirty Korean dog be IWGP champion than a fucking AEW tranny.

Korakuen Hall is cursed this year yet somehow we've had no injuries there so far...

>>18788093
don't jinx it anon

>>18788093
hopefully Trannyhashi fucking dies there

Oskar's look is terrible. He needs to get on the gas and get a tan. Also go back to short hair or grow a beard.

@grok how is we saving nu japoo?

>>18788789
Nah being pale would work the fujos into a shoot

but he absolutely needs to be ripped to pull it off

>>18788812
NJPW can be “saved” by reinforcing its Strong Style identity, developing new stars, enhancing global accessibility, strengthening partnerships, refreshing creative direction, diversifying revenue, and engaging younger audiences. By leveraging its rich history, as seen in events like Wrestle Kingdom and partnerships with ROH and AEW, NJPW can maintain its status as a premier wrestling promotion while addressing modern challenges. Continuous fan feedback and strategic innovation will be key to ensuring NJPW thrives for another 50 years.

>>18788828
Did you post AI Slop

>>18788913
Yes. And even AI slop can see that the AEW partnership is important for New Japan.

>>18788789
he doesn't need a tan lol just some months to build up some mass. but i wonder why he didn't do that while he was away

>>18788828
This feels like some shit the actual office would put out

>>18786672
>just fuck my shit up

>>18787595
COME HOME YELLOW MAN

BEHEAD ELON

>>18786672
idk what's wrong with it

who wins and who eats the pin

>>18791904
Probably a copout like Fujita pinning Taguchi or some shit

>>18791904
Taguchi has the lowest power level

>>18791904
Fujita or Oiwa pin Taguchi.

>>18791904

>>18792372

Los KWABOTYs de Japon

>>18791942
how dare you? its big dimes taguchis year!

>>18791942
He's unironically higher than Ishii rn

>>18793779
Dropped

>>18791904
would be funny as hell if zack eats the pin

wren nariter

>>18793514
Sorry I forgor
>>18793555
Has Ishii been KWABing on collision or something

>>18795806
I'm telling you, if Oskar trims up he'll do well

>>18795806
grim

>>18795806
Oskar looks better in street clothes like this but any white guy with long black hair in all black will look okay

>>18793319
Jesus fucking Christ this is grim. If it was 2017 this would be a banger in OTT

>>18796140
i think he just needs to do a ton of push ups. hes cultivated the mass, its time to harvest. regardless, im excited to see them in a proper match this month

>>18793319
I haven't kept up with any of his actual work but I hope he's legit getting stem cell treatment

>>18795806
Will they lead the Bullet Club as brothers?

>>18796606
Apparently he did get eye and knee work done but it seems like the eye work did not help. And he is worried cause his vision seems still cooked (my guess is that he planned to return after taking some time off maybe even for Tana at the dome.)

I think Naitos main problem is vision. Not being able to see is kinda an issue.

>>18795806
rude bwoy and bad man!

>>18795806
love lil nigga

>>18796893
How many flips per minute can he do though

https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/359300?page=1#google_vignette
>The reason is that he still has attachment to his old company where he was with for 19 years. "I think the feelings I had during the entrance test, when I said, 'My passion for New Japan Pro-Wrestling, my commitment to New Japan Pro-Wrestling is second to none,' still remain to a certain extent. As for domestic rings, New Japan is the only option for me at the moment. But I had the courage to take a step forward and leave, and if there are only other options in Japan, I want to wrestle overseas, in a place where I have never performed live before," he explained. So it feels "unnatural" to leave New Japan and immediately seek opportunities to shine in another domestic organization.
How fucking awful is management that this dude is like this but they still let him leave?

>>18797202
Bushiroad has tightened the purse strings cause NJPW and by extension stardom is a tiny fraction of revenue and they weren't particularly profitable. They got their house in order with all their other sectors. Wouldn't be shocked if they sell off poo Japan.

>>18797516
He flat out said leaving had nothing to do with money, though

>>18797539
A lot of people say it isn't about money when it is about money

Naito might think, "it's not the money, it's the fact that they don't value my contribution to the company, my ability to draw, so lowballing me like this is insulting"
but ultimately it is still about the money

>>18797596
They booked him to drop the title to Moxley.

>>18797596
Or maybe the guy that just shows up to the office to sign and immediately bolt out didn't actually leave for money like he said as he never wrestles in Japan again and barely wrestles at all.
If it was anything to do with pay I don't think the president would actively be borderline stalking him and bringing him up unprompted

Naito didn't want to take a break for health related reasons he actually hates Nu Jamal and Trannyhashi just like me haha

>>18795806
honestly? based

>>18797120
These niggers look so goofy

JEONG MOSQUE LI

>>18797202
Nips are saying that NJPW made him sign some sort of agreement that he won't wrestle in other JP promos for N months/years and I honestly believe them. Japanese companies are fucking vile when it comes to this stuff.

>>18798442
Yeah Nintendo black listed Squaresoft games on Nintendo consoles for years because based Squaresoft put cucked the n64 with final fantasy 7 and put it on ps1 instead cause it had a cd rom for cgi cutsce6

>>18797628
Such a dumb decision. It did nothing for their business. It got such a negative reaction Moxley was publicly whining about not being appreciated.

miki motoi's produce show is on

>>18798640
Having commentary over the house speakers with Honma on is a choice

why tf did they add gabe to the ikemen match???

>>18798757
He wanted to show off a different side of himself, no need to be pigeonholed

This show used to have a waifu thread with Miki right?

shota umino fucking sucks

I heard the Roppongi niggas kissed again

>>18798940
Zesty promotion booked for the fujos

Woke up for this tag match and it's fucking kino

>they let this sit on a fujo-booked PPV
hate these niggas

>Ishii got the pin
Woah wtf

best putting over of the new gen and it's on a ppv where one of them gets pinned by 2025 ishii

ofc new gen lost

Fujita still based

kek what a followup

>>18798996
back to grim

>>18799083
If only you knew how grim things really are.

>>18799085
He doesn't have to worry, he's not attractive enough

>>18799085
He's half jewish, this is what his kind wants

>>18798940
>takes noah’s title and immediately becomes zesty in you’re path

>>18799168
>Gay Homo Cock Junior Heavyweight Champion

>>18799466
holy yumola

>>18799466
should’ve been zack and/or oiwa

>>18798940
Tanahashi just come out of the closet already you fruit, it's obvious why you're pushing this shit... Making out with Despe, ELP, Dino, etc etc., you're gay and have an agenda. What an embarrassment to Puroresu and Japan.

>>18799115
idk apparently some women think that gabe and sho are attractive you never know maybe he'll have a huge fujo fanbase

>>18798940
I miss that very brief period when Hiromu returned to join LIJ and he was a wild, dangerous punk and not..whatever the fuck he is now.

>>18799625
just say you're scared of queers

>>18797539
Wait until Cyberfight tosses money at him now that Ozawa is injured.

>NOAH fans want to watch KENTA vs Naito in 2025
Yikes!

>>18799625
if some of the things he got up to when he was a young lion are anything to go by, he’s always been a little zesty and it’s just on full display now

>>18799532
I'm so sad it wasn't Oiwa but I guess the wedgie during their G1 match was enough
>>18799586
Sho has an attractive body, I hate the hair and when he puts the black mouthguard on but he's passable. But never heard anything about Gabe desu thank god
But to me YOH isn't that hot, his face is not good enough

>>18799745
i could see the appeal of roppongi 3k sho more than hot sho, bro needs to stop playing tekken and go back outside, he’s too damn pale
considering yoh still doesn’t have one of those little dolls but sho and gabe do makes me think that’s the general consensus on him

I wish Tsuji was in that tag

>>18799801
don't get the obsession of tanning. he's not flabby like oskar and can stay pale without looking unappealing.
i get the reason for tanning, especially bodybuilders, so muscles look more appealing, but if you are good don't see the need aside for aesthetic purpose (and some dude looks fucking bad, like super oily cured meat)

>>18799625
Tbf it's not like he could've really worked like that again after breaking his neck. Very reasonable wakeup to keep that act going with just dressing and acting wacky
