>>19248925
all of robbie and fujitas matches were quite good. taguchi and dia vs douki and sho had taguchi snap mid match and wrestle seriously, which if youre a Big Match Tagooch fan was fun. overall no one had a bad match but i don't think anything was really amazing.

>>19248966
To the shock of no one.

New Japan is cooked, isn't it? There's no escaping the tranny menace. Even if AEW went out of business for whatever reason (Tony Khan caught wanking dogs, for example) Gedo would just sign all their shitters and push them. Grim. Grimmest of the grim.

1/5 New Year Dash!! @ Ota Ward Gymnasium (6:30pm)

>>19249104
I really hope some big things happen at New Year's Dash. But judging on the last few years, im sceptical

>>19249016
Yeah shitters like Ospreay, Hangman, Darby or Fletcher, the horror!

>>19249112
the big angle will be a AEW angle I bet, a main event tag with Okada and Takeshita and one turns on the other

>>19249170
I’d take Darby and Hangman if he was never allowed to speak. I don’t want the bangarino merchants back.

Is the Ishimori PPV a 1-match show? Who the fuck is paying 20 dolalrs for that?

>>19249259
ive paid 20 bucks for worse entertainment prospects than ishimori and dragon kid

>>19249240
Darby would honestly be a solid junior and would get over with the fujos fast. NJPW would love him just for that.

>>19249275
Are they wrestling for 2 hours? I'll watch the if so

>>19249284
i could also see the allied mastercomputer that books the show torture ishimori with random stipulations like having to pin dragon kid 9 times or something. these ishimori shows are weird as hell

>>19249223
That's what Tanahashi deserves after being so cocky, why was his first choice for his retirement match a WWE (yuck) wrestler? They should embarass Nu Japan even more if you ask me

WHERE MY BROTHERS AT WHERE MY BROTHERS AT

WHERE MY LADIES AT WHERE MY LADIES AT

>>19249104
is this the full card for wrestle kingdom?
>>19249306
why is the robot holding ishimori at gunpoint to do these shows anyway?

>>19249170
Hangman is a shitter. Ospreay is sawdusted. Darby would want to do bingo hall shit. Fletcher is a nobody. So, yes, this sounds terrible.

>>19249016
you got it wrong, NJPW problem is the old guard.

Tanahashi literally going out there saying that Okada was the plan B, kills the match

>>19249683
No it's based because it shows that AEW was in fact a problem in some capacity.

>>19249776
it helps nobody

>>19249016
Gedo is not talent relations, retard lol

>>19249816
perhaps... but perhaps gedo is just a concept, a feeling a vibe that can be anything we want and what we need

Gedo is the true president of NJPW, it was revealed to me in a dream.

Tony Khan is the king of New Japan, Rocky Romero is his colonial governor, Hiroshi Tanahashi is the local tribal leader allowed to keep his ceremonial title in return for swearing fealty

>>19249529
cute

NJPW could always drop the AEW partnership and work with WWE instead.
They could become the Japanese TNA or AAA.

>>19250421
Grim

this nigga named dookie

Sad news. Aew fans are so toxic that they are calling this person a bitch,a mark, a clown for just saying her opinion on Tanahashi’s final match. This is why no one likes the sickos

https://x.com/SmarkInfested/status/1987108154543313306/quotes

>>19251484
The "sickos" should be locked in cages.

Not a fan of the whole AEW interference in New Japan, but I do think the Okada angle was done well. We'll minus the press conference afterward, but nevertheless.

So funny how thers little no wrestling community out there that actually likes AEW fans. Even TNA marks back in the day we're allowed little bit funny

>>19248920 (OP)
Lets go Taichi

>>19251534
most are

>>19251484
Tanahashi himself said that Nakamura was his first choice so why tf are they so aggressive?

>>19251186
aw hell nah we finna be getting dookie vs take a shit at the anniversary show

>no bro stop grimposting everything is great
>general dies... AGAIN

>>19248966
Well all the idiotic AEWtist apologists popping up in these threads can go kick fucking rocks now

>>19252129
wait nvm looking at comments these people really think it's all le evil fed and 0% Khan involvement lmao

Why the fuck did Yuto-Ice have to lose to Tanahashi? Tana retires in 2 months, he doesn't fucking need a singles win especially on a guy who already lost his first singles match back

>>19252018
yappari, grimsters are the draw
we're the draw for WK too
when Trannyhashi will retire and scream "aishitemasu" one last time, the whole crowd will scream "gurimu !"
and then they'll never show up to a Shin Nihon show again

>>19249475
Hangman is legitimately great. I've wanted him since he first showed up in NJPW years ago.

Yes, this is exactly what Inoki imagined when he declared wrestling is a sacred sport.

>>19252018
you ran everyone off a long time ago faggot

no thread at all is better than you spamming and sadly one man bumping for hours

>>19252764
>newfag thinks NJPW has never had bloody hardcore matches

>>19252764
>bringing up Inoki in a retirement match thread
bold of you

Guy had the most self-serving retirement of all time.
He wrestled Don Frye who was an MMA guy who had only done a handful of wrestling matches ever up to that point. It lasted 4 minutes and Inoki fucking went over, kek.

>>19252793
muta was so fuckin cool

>>19252722
hangman is great until he starts talking

>>19252937
Well it's not like he'll be cutting those kinds of promos in Japan so it wouldn't be an issue

>>19252974
Yes he will. Just like Kenny's shitty anime villain promos. Theater kids are in paradise when it comes to Bushiroad promotions.

>>19252887
based
Inoki shouldn't have lost a single match in his career he was too dimes for that

If you think about it, Okada might be the most manufactured star in New Japan's history. He was never able to draw by himself at the Tokyo Dome.
>WK7: Tanahashi was the draw
>WK8: people talk about Naito failing but Okada was the world champ and got relegated to the semi-main.
>WK9: Tanahashi was the draw
>WK10: Tanahashi was the draw and heavily carried his ass
>WK11: Naito vs Tanahashi in the semi-main was the draw but they didn't want to humiliate Okada by making fans vote
>WK12: Naito was the draw, crowd was killed when Okada won
>WK13: Tanahashi and Naito vs Jericho drew the house meanwhile Okada wasn't even in the semi-main and no one cared about him facing Jay White anyway
>WK14: Naito's story and Ibushi's autism drew the house.
>WK17: Antonio Inoki's death was literally carrying this cough era WK real hard.
>WK20: Tanahashi carries Okada's ass again, his retirement is the draw

>>19253523
>WK17: Antonio Inoki's death was literally carrying this cough era WK real hard.
This was Kenny vs Ospreay drawing, not even Inoki

Alright I'm kinda convinced at this point
>Nakamura teasing a match, official WWE accounts are involved
>NJPW teasing a match
>all of this shit REALLY recent
>sudden radio silence
>uh... Okada!
BOTH sides are at fault but AEW vetoed something too. Their politics spilled over into NJPW and fucked over Tana at his own retirement show.

>>19253843
Yeah looks like NOAH clearly veto'd the nakamura tanahashi match because they want it on their New Year's show instead to try to draw for them

sad

>>19248920 (OP)
Took too long but it’s good to see Shingo and Ishimori finally on the same team.

this is the match

does a apk or a archive for strong spirits exist? the card arts were super cool

>>19252419
>Why the fuck did Yuto-Ice have to lose to Tanahashi?
He's getting his win back in WTL

>>19253916
why's he standing like he has naito's knees

>>19254515
maybe, but without servers you won't even be able to download the necessary files to get past the title screen

>check the NJPW general to see if anyone is talking about the show today
>people crying about AEW
>people crying about Okada
>people crying about Tony Khan
No wonder this general keeps dying. You people are mindbroken.

>>19255068
trolling literally in every thread, this place makes /v/ look sane

>>19255068
I'm not paying two months worth of NJPW World to watch one show bro

I'm watching Ishimori show, i'm curious of the other cards aside the main event

marty asami, you are the strongest man alive

>>19255068
Current New Japan is terrible. AEW is partly responsible for this. Obviously people are going to talk about it.

Tana showed up

of all the superhuman things Oshimori can probably do, beat Tanahashi as a Jr isnt one of them

HOLY SHIT WHAT IS NAKAMURA DOING HERE

I AM ONLY GEDO HAHAHA

OH SHIT JADO

i admire that he is willing to do that for no good reason

wtf yasu urano is doing there

the fact that njpw doesn't have the rights to play music for most of outsiders it makes hard to guess who is going to show up

>>19253916
>WTL poster
>SHO the biggest picture aside from Tanahashi himself
what a gigadraw

dragon ojisan is still good

Former Raging King Naoya Ogawa says, "If it were me, I'd go and beat up Wolf." His true intentions and expectations
https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/366316

>Naoya Ogawa (57), a former professional wrestler and silver medalist in judo at the Barcelona Olympics, recently updated his YouTube channel, "Naoya Ogawa's Bousouou Channel." He mentioned Wolf Aaron, a gold medalist in the 100kg judo category at the Tokyo Olympics, who will be making his debut at the New Japan Pro-Wrestling Tokyo Dome event on January 4th next year.

>In Wolf's much-anticipated debut, he will clash with EVIL of the villainous group "House of Torture (H.O.T.)." He has already been engaged in a brawl with H.O.T. in the ring, which has been garnering a lot of attention. Ogawa, who saw the video, commented, "There's something amazing about his appearance. The image he had as a judo player has completely faded. I don't know if that was the intention, though. The most important thing is for people who leave judo to succeed in the (next) world."

>He then pointed out, "In my experience, it's quite difficult to throw in the ring while wearing shoes. It's different whether the shoes are thick-soled or the thin-soled shoes used in wrestling. In judo, being barefoot is different to being in shoes," and said, "I think Wolf would be able to adapt quickly."

>The former King of Runaways continued by giving this advice to the gold medalist: "It all comes down to the microphone, after all. It's about what you say to people and whether you can empathize with them or not. Whether you can fully transform into them or not. Wouldn't Wolf be better off as a heel? He has the aura of a heel."

>>19256248
>Furthermore, Ogawa said in the video, "If it were me, I'd go and beat up Wolf." What on earth does this mean? When we asked the former Raging King what he really meant in an interview, he said something terrifying: "Wolf is a gold medalist and already has a clean image. Everyone knows he's strong. So, the chance is before his debut. If I were EVIL, I'd thoroughly torture him and make him bleed. That would be more fun, wouldn't it?"

>It's true that the Raging King repeatedly got into fights and intruded into matches, and even his rival, the King of Destruction, Shinya Hashimoto, was plunged into a pool of blood both inside and outside the ring. Of course, during his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling, he followed the instructions of his master, the late Antonio Inoki, to "go wild," and most of the time he was "producing" a burning fighting spirit.

>That's why he says, "The Dodgers (MLB) signed Ohtani and became the best team in the world. New Japan has also been fortunate enough to sign a talented player like Wolf, so I hope they develop him to the point where he becomes the 'Ohtani of the pro wrestling world.' They have to make him the 'face of New Japan.' I hope they can bring out a new side of Wolf and help him become a great success."

>Finally, he expressed his expectations for Wolf, saying, "I'm also looking forward to the January 4th Dome. I hope he does his best." With less than two months left until his debut match, the former King of Runaways is also keeping a keen eye on him.

>>19256248
>Wouldn't Wolf be better off as a heel? He has the aura of a heel.
Humble Wolf to HoT confirmed

wolf has the aura of a fat twitch streamer (grim)

wolf has the aura of someone who's good at tekken but good enough to beat a korean or paki

mmm

Take me back

>>19256612
Thats gonna be painful to watch

>>19256685
t. the nigger who doesn't like ANYTHING

>>19256612
That ring is gonna age her knees by 4 years by the end of it.

I KWAB'D MYSELF... TODAY..

TO SEE IF I... STILL FEEL...

>TJP and Templario vs Los Chavez for the Strong Tag Titles.

This one is interesting, not for the title itself, but this means Angel de Oro and Niebla Roja should work one NJPW event in the future

>>19256252
>So, the chance is before his debut. If I were EVIL, I'd thoroughly torture him and make him bleed. That would be more fun, wouldn't it?"
If only cool things like this happened but EVIL is just gonna walk him through and make all his basics look good. Maybe in a rematch down the line

>>19256808
cool, i hope its an excitable crowd

>>19256808
>56k+
There's being optimistic and then there's just being delusional

>>19256926
you'd know a lot about being delusional so ill yield to your expertise

>>19256612
This is a collab with Linkin Park.

>>19256808
Nigga it was never about tickets, it's about what Tanahashi wanted and deserved and politics ruining it. They were selling like crazy before any match match was even fucking announced and if you think Tana vs Naka wouldn't draw you're delusional. And no I don't care about thread schizos or drama I'm just posting the truth.

>>19258152
Two days ago selling out the Tokyo Dome was bad no matter what because they didn't have "anything set up for after". It didn't matter what the match was to you.

Now, you are misinterpreting a joshipedo's report (peps, lol) so that you can blame AEW and say well everything would've been fine if it was Nakamura!
You're just a gay faggot console warrior who hates all things bushiroad and aew, you probably post in the fucking iyo bugfucker general gauging by your autism levels

>>19256926
There's still the walk up market to attend to and the outfield seats. They'll be fine

So who is DOUKI facing at WK?

>>19258621
no one
they'd rather have AEW wrestlers and joshis on the card

>>19258152
Nakamura ruined Muta's last match with gay shit, he didn't deserve the honor of retiring Tanahashi.

>>19258652
if nakamura kissed tanahashi at the tokyo dome, japan would sink under the sea from the fujo pussy grool

>>19258662
it would sink under the sea from the seismic force generated by the collective shame of generations upon generations rolling in their graves.

When's "Superhuman Taiji Ishimori is Beginning to Worry Family and Friends With His Continuing Ridiculous Behaviour"

>>19258652
How else was he supposed to counter Muta's mist?

>>19256613
If Gabe hadn't fucked his arm who knows. Though ultimately I think they wanted to give Naito his flowers at the Dome and I kinda struggle to see him being anything more than a transition champ in the future anyways. Funnily enough the new broken down SANADA has tapped into some charisma that probably would have helped him remain at the top if he had his health.

This is by far my favorite version of Sanada and it is only because I think his entrances are funny.

>>19258814
His injury really wasn't the problem. He can't hold up a feud to save his life.

>>19258714
kek why am i not surprised. damn dog eating koreans lol.

>>19258784
I don't know, maybe move out of the way or something? hell, he could have took a big vacuum cleaner hose and sucked the mist up like that instead of doing that gay DDT-type shit that he did.

>>19258950
>I don't know, maybe move out of the way or something?
He may have more, though. Gotta do something about it

>>19258969
then borrow Luigi's vacuum and get an easy sponsorship payday from Nintendo lol

>>19258950
>he could have took a big vacuum cleaner hose and sucked the mist up
thats the funniest mist counter idea ive ever heard and i give it 4 to 1 odds DDT does this at some point

>>19256012
Insider-kun has returned.

>>19258933
Well he kind of got swallowed up by the shadow of LIJ with EVIL and then Naito in his reign while also injured so we don't know what his ceiling might have been in a more open time period. Honestly if he didn't change anything I agree with you, if he could have found a way to tap into SANADA Collection S.S. in that state he might have had something.

We've all accepted that Gabe is leaving, but it is a little shitty how much Tony uses guys he is stealing in what's supposed to be their final year in NJPW. Also Clark should probably be a little worried that he's not been spammed by Tony in his final year
