I wouldn't argue with anyone who said Tanahashi is top 10 all time. I think at this point denying it is just silly. Influence, charisma, work rate, draw all that corny shit that Meltzer types talk about. He's got it in spaaaaaaaaades.

Whatβs crazy to me about Tanahashi is that his post-peak/post-ace period over the past couple years has really helped out his case. Thatβs not usually how it goes.

he's aging like a fine wine. instead of getting older and just going over people or putting people over he's taking what he's learned over his entire career and making the most out of it all. feel like most older wrestlers who are 20 years in would usually just kinda coast on being popular etc. he truly loves wrestling and his craft and it very much shows in his elder state.

The two guys who guided NJPW through the darkness were him and Nakamura and they could not have taken different paths as they aged. Nakamura is now the anti-Tanahashi in basically every way.

Jinse Shinzaki is off the Janella show because he's attending Anvil's funeral.
FFFFFuck. I literally just purchased the PPV on Fite.tv this morning too. They say a replacement will be announced.

for as back and forth as ive been on tanahashi, he is a top 10 for me. im still a bit surprised he won it over ibushi. but that dome match is going to be a rocker. cant wait for the fall in njpw. i always hit a rut with wrestling around this time once that stretch from BOSJ - G1 ends.
AIW wrestlrager soon. cannot wait to see sabu do something silly with PCO.

Please. They were awfully fucking quiet when massa said the girls were staying home and they had to perform for a country where itβs illegal for women wear whatever they want, then lose their minds when some 60 year old Uber mark says someone gained weight.
Pro wrestlers and their fans are the dumbest of shits.

He was apparently talking about her implants, not her being fat, but he shouldn't be talking about either

Why not? It's a body business. I just read a quote from him yesterday about Yokozuna being fat as fuck, ain't nobody give a shit. He talks about wrestler physiques ALL the time.

The point being that it's a consistent point of discussion when talking about wrestling. It's also consistent with his position that people change for the main roster and how it treats people, which is in line with his comments recently about hair even

He was apparently talking about her implants, not her being fat, but he shouldn't be talking about either That was pretty obvious when listening to the show. I think she wanted to deflect away from the fact that he said she was sucking at her job. Like all the WWE women jumping on this like theyβre characters in mean girls. Dave didnβt help himself with that creepy ass opening to his apology though.

Shouldn't have even apologized, there was nothing to apologize for.
Wrestling feminist twitter is the worst twitter subculture there is. Buncha white knight ass nerds and fat girls.
And I bet Dave's subscription numbers wen't up today, anyway. Lol.

dunno if you guys ever read those WON Flashback threads on squaredcircle but he always comments about how nasty or unattractive it is when all the women go and get fake tits.

I could literally give a shit about Dave Meltzer Iβve been watching wrestling my entire life and Iβve never read one of his reviews or listened to his stupid podcast.
I still think itβs lame as fuck to be wrestling under Vince McMahon or support his company and be upset that some old geek judged a womanβs looks.
That Saudi tour was more offensive than anything Dave Meltzer could say.

Oh my fucking god. Meltzer spends literally 40 minutes "apologizing" on Observer radio and in the process managed to trash a bunch of other women fighters looks such as Amanda Nunes.
Dave. STOP TALKING. Dig up, stupid.
