NJPW is gonna struggle so hard without Okada or Osprey. The new blood (Tsuji, Uemura, Shota, Narita) need to get over big time and real fast if that company is gonna float. Naito can't do this alone.

It makes sense if NJ really is broke. Bring Okada and Ospreay in for only the bigs shows while TK foots the bill for the rest of the year.

The pandemic laid waste to their finances, there's no other way to see it.

Wow I am in Las Vegas with CM Kev and there is a heavy rumor on the strip right now that Okada is the first major signing for Feed Me More Wrestling and there is a MAJOR TV deal in place. FMMW is really going to change the landscape in 2024.

If you knocked down Budokan that's one thing.
The Tokyo Dome is just a place where dudes played baseball for a while. It has an aura cuz it's huge but I'm not gonna have a moan over something younger than me.

Imagine having the run Saturn did in ECW / WCW and then only being remembered by most people for a romance he had with a mop.

Pretty sure I had checked out on watching around the moppy time so that barely exists in my memory and I still just remember him as an eliminator and a weirdo assbeater in wcw.

Last nights NJPW show was pretty average but the Ishimori vs O Khan match with workout breaks was very entertaining. O Khan struggling his way through split squats was an incredibly relatable thing to watch. Okada and Tama both tearing up on their way out. I know no one else seems to enjoy HoT and EVILs shenanigans but I had fun, just a gang of shitheads that take all the bullshit to such a ridiculous extreme that it becomes very entertaining. I think this year might be a bit rough in places but it's also going to be very exciting to see who steps up and stuff.

His ridiculously over the top facial expressions alone mean I can not agree. Also house of torture have the coolest merch in NJPW. Darby vs Jeff on Rampage was the best I have seen Jeff look in a long while, which isn't saying a lot but the match was a fun car crash. Darby is an absolute lunatic as per usual.

ive been watching every royal rumble and holy shit roman reigns really is just the most worthless person.
in 2015 it was down to him, kane, and big show and he was getting brutalized when the rock showed up to make the save and help roman eliminate them to win.
in 2016 it was him at 1 against 29 and they tried everything to make him seem sympathetic: had vince rallying against him, the stone cold booking of him going to the hospital and coming back, and literally booed every single time he did anything good and a straight up massive pop when he was finally eliminated.

like... he can't cut a promo which is why paul heyman does all of his promos. the bloodline program was stupid as fuck. he cant wrestle. he never ever wins clean (its like the opposite of cena who could never lose clean). and he's supposed to be believed as the best champion of all time? fuck out of here.
