>If Zack beats Takeshita we can get angry that the G1 was just used as a prop for an AEW storyline
>If Takeshita beats Zack then we can complain that an AEW wrestler is holding the belt hostage
/njpw/ always wins

>>19041980 (OP)
big baby is winning it all

>>19041980 (OP)
Takeshita wins and Shota Umino dethrones him at WK.

You can be mad about it, but that's just wha's going to happen

I don't hate takeshita but lol the eng commentator saying he couldn't be on tour wrestled fo aew andr ddt when for ddt last match in ddt was before g1 kek
let's just say that njpw is not bothered to call him

>>19041990
>Whiny faggots always win
FTFY

what the fuck was that zoom-in

>>19041994
Based, gotta love the shooter baby

>>19041998
Its a visual way of showing Takeshita is the opposite of Okada, because he had a zoom out

>>19041995
Gms

at least they seem to have gotten a slight clue and are letting take work like a heel this match

>Commentary talking about how strong the Don Callis Family are and hyping up the upcoming Continental Classic
Extremely grim

>>19042011
Ass Penetrated Organisation

we all love zakku and we all want him to win

Why did Takeshita leave his arm in that position? Is he stupid

>>19042011
you just know they are gonna push some cringe bullshit about Takeshita being the first guy to win both in the same year as if anybody cares or it matters at all

Humble Wolf really will save us huh?

>Takeshita wins the IWGP
>Wrestles in the continental tournament
>Gets injured in a match against daniel gomez
>Wrestle Kingdom is for a vacant IWGP

>>19042037
>daniel gomez

I just can't bring myself to care about this. Tag titles should've main evented

>>19042036
grim

>>19042037
Took me a while to understand who Daniel Gomez was

why are they the same height

>>19042024
>"I've won the G1 but the Continental Classic is a whole other level"

that was fucking clean

kill him zack. don't let go

>>19042055
hes the dancing spic who tony keeps trying to push as a shooter

HOLY SHIT
THAT MOVE MADE TSUJI TAP AND TAKESHITA HASN'T

Tanahashi & ELP for World Tag League.

>>19042085
ELP seems like a bro irl

If Take does that neck snap shit Im turning this off

>>19041990
You know Takeshita is probably leaving for new japan when his aew contract is up right?

i keep thinking fujita with that haircut and no-sleeve shirt is sho

This cucked version of Charlton is so funny. He just said the crowd when quiet for Takeshita getting the advantage, because they didn't want the match to end kek

>>19042097
yeah i'm sure he would love to see several zeroes disappear from his paycheck

This match rules

>>19042097
>when his aew contract is up
Lmao. Tony will never let him go. He can completely out bid NJPW at any point

>>19042097
Shut up, Tana. You're retarded

>>19042002
kino

>>19042111
If money was all that mattered, sure.

>>19042122
you're extremely naive

GRIM

>>19042069
>he dances
>but also he's getting pushed as a shooter

goddamn namefags are dumb no matter the promotion

>>19042128
Says the guy who thinks money is the be all end all.

>>19042122
>Im gonna give you enough money to make sure your children are millionaires AND let you work NJPW shows still
Nobody is turning that down my guy

A E DUB A E DUB A E DUB A E DUB A E DUB

>>19042130

sad about the wrong winner but it was to be expected

Lol a outsider won the world title
Lmao

based ALPHA

New Japan is completely dead. If you continue watching it you're a faggot ass cuck.

And next week he'll get chased outta town and so begins Takeshita's NJPW run.

njpw threads gonna be unbearable from now on, jfc

nujamals on suicide watch

big pop from ddt

so it's reiwa inoki vs takesoup at tokyo dome right?

>Fucked Goto for the bongland PPV
>Fucked Zack for the Don Faggot Family
Tonikan is a cunt

surprised don didn't make the trip out

remember when zack won last year and the crowd went crazy and they all loved him? good times

I mean Takeshita was getting chants over Zack when EVIL was getting chants over him, Zack is respected but just isn't someone the domestic invest themselves in

>Getting booed
Hilarious

i don't care about this shit, just kill takeshita already

He's inherited the Sareee boos

>Feeding Hollywood star Goto to Takeshita
Grim

takeshita vs goto = DIMES

>>19042183
This title always cause this

>>19042156
yappari they just weren't ready yet

the g in iwgp still stands for goto btw

he's right where are the young njpw wrestler to challenge him

uh oh goto chants

>>19042188
Only at the Dome where Goto has a chance of winning
Not as the honorary first defense loss ffs

BOOOOOOO FUCK YOU TAKESHITA

>Goto is a filler defence because they are already talking about challenges from the younger generation
Very grim

they don't respect him at all lmao, embarassing shit

>>19042204
Go Goto

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEW

I was saying boo-urns.

>>19042160
They already were and that's 100% New Japan's fault

I'm so tired, bros

Do you think Rocky realises the damage he's done?

English commentary are so funny. Just completely blowing Takeshita, calling him a "great man" and saying he'll definitely show up in NJPW this year

Takeshita must give god tier head for Tonikan to force this title win

>>19042234
Well, he's a great man only because he's willing to take the role of unpopular champion as outsider in the same way Sareee was booed by Stardom fans during her title run.
It's part of the game.

>>19042222
Probably not. He has a njpw / cmll / aew contract so why would he be sad

>>19042242
>he's willing to take the role of unpopular champion as outsider
Why did they book him as a face in the G1 then?

>>19042138
You're both wrong and retarded actually

What in the fuck is that shirt Rocky is wearing, he need something last minute

>>19042248
he's neither heel or face, he just a jerk attitude but he's really just a guy. It's AEW who kind of pushed the heel role on him

No I don't want to hear Rocky's appeal can please shut up the fuck up

>>19042262
yeah the guy who was booked against narita and evil as an epic savior wasn't booked as a face, sure, whatever

They should really stop saying NJPW is the King of Sports

>>19042282
Everyone booked against Narita or EVIL is gonna be sold as face by the commentary but doesn't mean the player is a face kek it's not that black and white

NEXT FOR OUR IWGP CHAMPION

>>19042332
kek

>>19042097
Based New Jatard

>>19042332
take vs okada is the only thing i'm even remotely looking forward to in aew
