>>21369931Made the mistake of tuning into the clockwork orange match. Some of the most utter inanity I've ever seen in my life. Free my nigga Takeshita. Anyway, Assplay won so RIP Callum
>listening to We Work Stiff>rumours of Forbidden Door being in Japan next year>AEW trying to go global, recently pushed into Mexico culminating in Grand Slam Mexico >"if you're upset about AEW involvement, you're not going to like 2027, cause it's kind of here to stay for a bit"
>>21371130PWG indieriffic stuff, or more like backyard deathmatch garbage?
>>21371191I'm gonna be a realist here. If Tsuji and Uemura win the title matches, I can live with Callum, Oiwa, and KOB losing.
>>21371238It was just weird. As a match, it was broken up into a bunch of different segments, first the 3 minute intervals between entrances, then the 15 minute scoring period. All of these timed intervals were like, both too short and too long. There wasn't enough time to tell a long, cohesive story with the way the match was broken up, but it also meandered a lot at parts and then would just suddenly kick into a buncha high spots before slowing down and meandering around again.Also, the booking of the match was very suspect. Takeshita got eliminated before the scoring period, Okada did jack fucking shit during the scoring period. Ricochet was just there. Darby was legit just there to eat pins. For some reason, the primary focuses of this match were 47 year old Samoa Joe and 52 Adam Copeland and the image after the match was a staredown between Copeland and Ospreay. I don't mind a whacky AEW multi-man match, cause they're usually exciting if nothing else, but this was a confused, underwhelming affair even by whacky AEW multi-man standards. >>21371256Christian appears to be seriously injured so who knows if KOB vs. C&C is even happening. Should be KOB vs. the Bucks anyway, at least that would be a great match.
>>21371238Oh, to answer your question, PWG indieriffic. No hitting each other with shit, just lotsa finisher spam.
>>21371380>Takeshita got eliminated before the scoring periodWatching him get killed stone dead by a single ripcord rainmaker with nothing before it looked bizarre. It was like a custom game mode on Smackdown vs Raw or something. Finisher sliders set to ultra high damage, yet everyone popped back up after taking them so they could hit their own.It's at times like this I just remind myself that anything outside the cerulean blue may as well be non canon because I just watched Ospreay get pinned clean by Darby Allin then tap out to Samoa Joe in the space of 5 minutes, and that's the final boss figure for Callum, lmao.
>>21369931Bros this Taichi show was so much fun. It's great to fall in love with NJPW again and watch all these minor events. Everything from the pandemic onwards was so fucking lame and nothing was able to pull me back into it until this year's G1 finalAlso fuck GayEW
>>21371454It was so weird. For better and for worse, in AEW, especially with main eventers, it takes a lot to beat somebody. The top guys in this company can eat a LOT of shit before they go down. In that context, watching all of these guys get pinned so easily, felt extremely incongruous with the fabric of the promotion. Takeshita getting dropped by a single Rainmaker after 15 minutes felt especially egregious.
>the ukrainians shoot blew up the VK data center and now I can't fall asleep to comfy japanese shindies tonightnah they doing too much now. hope Putin squashes Zelensky for this act which has dishonoured the sacred sport of puroresu.
>>21371482Their produce shows are way better than their main shows cuz it's just the boys dicking around
>>21371256>KOB losingkill yourself
Takeshita is showing up more regularly on NJPW so of course Tonikan starts booking him like a geek on GayEW kek
>>21371191I've heard a few of the NJPW podcasters say the same thing. I seems like they've all heard a while back that AEW is running Japan next year and needs NJPW guys to help draw. So this WK is to sweeten them up a bit so they lean their guys.
>>21371191>SEE GUYS ITZ LE 50/50 NOW>turns out it's only happening to the benefit of AEW running a show in JapanThis just confirms the straight up ass penetration
>>21371191this is good in the long run because Grand Slam Tokyo will have an attendance so grim that Tonikan will stop playing with the japanese toys
>>21371859The WWS guys were excited for WK. But surely it just means in exchange for that WK show, the NJPW rosters are about to spend the next year jobbing on AEW in their home country. Extremely cucked behaviour
Boltin is only there so Tsuji doesn't have to take the pinFucking grim
I said it before, Boltin should actually win.

>Taichi to take decisive action to eliminate "AEW returnees"! Shouldn't the January 4th Dome show be "a real battle between New Japan wrestlers"?https://www.tokyo-sports.co.jp/articles/-/407040>At the Ryogoku tournament in April of this year, he raised concerns about the promotion's extensive use of Will Ospreay's "return to Japan" match, and his stance remains unchanged. "If this continues, the fans will start to hope that 'another wrestler who went to AEW will come back,' and other wrestlers will think, 'Well, maybe I should too.' The G1 final and the main event at Ryogoku were fantastic, weren't they? Why don't we, New Japan, compete in this?">With Ospreay and Kenny Omega's return confirmed, and MJF challenging Ryohei Oiwa, a large contingent of AEW wrestlers is on the move, and next year's January 4th Dome show is shaping up to be an "all-out war." However, Taichi offered his opinion, saying, "We've been fighting for a year, and is that really the culmination of it all? Are we working hard to defeat AEW? I don't want them to raise the white flag and say we don't have any star wrestlers who can draw a crowd to the Dome, and shouldn't we be showing a real fight between New Japan wrestlers? That's why I'm going to at least tear GLOBAL apart."
>>21375087>Taichi is a grimchadBASED.
>>21375101He's always positioned himself like this. He was the only wrestler really ragging on how much of a failure that 2024 All Together show was too. He's a late bloomer in his 40s, nothing to lose in being that guy.

>>21375087The emperor speaks only truth
I wonder if KUUKAI will be part of CMLL roster soon.
First thing booked for the Unbound Co. show. Special Challenge Match.
Is it true lads, could we really be getting Takeshita full time?
>>21375885He'd be retarded to not re-up with AEW. Tony will give him millions and still let him work NJPW/DDT whenever he wants anyway. He could probably even get Tony to let him do less matches in AEW. Work the Money Mark while you can, because NJPW will still sign him whenever he wants to move back to Japan full time
>>21375885I don't know what he could really add being a regular tbqh
>>21375858Daiki might hit the drilla RIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT
>>21375938This. Since the G1 ended he worked one Collision then Wembleh before leaving to go work DDT then Destruction and KOPW. Then he took like 2 bumps in the clockwork orange PPV before heading to the back. He's making big money to sit in the back and work on his English. He should get one last big money mark contract because Tonikan will probably stop handing them out in a couple years.
>>21375858Here's the video talking about the show and the making of the match. A few minutes in Shingo talks about training with Natsupoi in the Noge Dojo and having a mixed tag on that show too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GJtyLeQdJg
>>21375938AFAIK his choice to stay in the US is mostly related to family at least for what I heard, but I have no idea if he's just staying in AEW to farm money to invest in the future or he's staying there because his wife.The paying is worth it but I imagine is tiring to travel that much and maybe perform poorly because he didn't train enough with the people he has to fight with.He gonna miss next month DDT Ryoguku, so he might just show up in Japan for NJPW and personal reasons.
>>21375858I've liked Nagai a long time but being a pseudo-young lion has made it hard to care the past year. I don't care if you get your own trunks and spin-off music if you're still not allowed to win anything against non-young lions.
>>21377352Super Jr Tag League is the perfect spot for him to start winning. I think he'll pin Dick Togo to mirror Zane beating Gedo.

Shun already got em squealin' itt kek YJG. House of Torture is our strongest filter against the trannies.

>>21382486Kek nice try tranny. EVIL is one of very few wrestlers Tonikan has ever publicly shat on. HoT is fundamentally the enemy of AEW
>>21380995yeah. they don't know who cope is though
>>21382506Tony Khan and dumbass AEW fans can say whatever they want, there's virtually no difference between House of Torture and like four different shitty-ass heel factions that have been prominently featured in AEW's history.
>>21382505Hate to break it to ya kid but NJPW is a Western-style wrestling promotion by design and always has been.
Tony Khan was right about EVIL
If Tony Khan thinks something is AIDS then I'm a fan.
>>21382545I'm aware, lmao. That's my point. These factions are all the same shit.
Trust the flan.

>>21384195He's based so I dont mind
https://www.njpw1972.com/677183>Thank you for supporting New Japan Pro-Wrestling. El Desperado, who was scheduled to wrestle through the Super Jr. Tag League tour that begins Saturday in Saitama, will be unable to compete due to a diagnosis of spinal canal stenosis and a hernia. >We apologise to fans who were looking forward to seeing Desperado compete, and appreciate your understanding. In a video released on YouTube, Desperado stated:>"My sincerest apologies, but I will not be appearing at Super Jr. Tag League.I'm currently dealing with spinal canal stenosis and a hernia. My left leg has no strength, and with the pain and pins and needles I'm currently unable to stand, walk or even sit upright for long periods of time. From the start of this year I'd noticed some strange sensations in my left glute, and there was some tingling in my legs from around March. At that point I expressed to the company that I was having some symptoms, but that I had no issues with strength or anything like that, and asked to continue wrestling, while staying in contact with the medical and training staff.The pain started coming around June, and the last couple of months, I would be waking up around 4AM in pain with my left leg. I started taking painkillers after meals but was still able to wrestle that way, and as I tend to think, I figured I could get through to the end of the year. I said I could still wrestle, but I was taking the issue far too lightly. My body had reached its limits. My apologies, again.>For this Super Jr. Tag League, Mistico was scheduled to wrestle with me, and we can't just send him back with nothing to say for it, so I have chosen (Masatora) Yasuda to replace me. Some of you might think 'with your connections you can come up with a bigger name than a Young Lion,' but I'd like for you to think of this as a key step to the future of NJPW.
>>21386311>Right now, (Shoma) Kato and (Katsuya) Murashima are on excursion. It's a vital time for a young wrestler to not just gain experience in the ring, but in life and living in a variety of environments. When they come back, maybe it will be Yasuda and (Daiki) Nagai's turn to go, and I don't know when that might be. But from just an in ring perspective, Nagai has been able to get semi and main event bookings through being in Unbound Co., while Yasuda hasn't had as many chances. So I want to give Yasuda this opportunity to team alongside a global megastar like Mistico, and to see what he can make of this spot. >In the past, Yasuda was critical on social media of a Young Lion being put into Best of the Super Jr. Talking to him at the time, I understood how much value he put in the brand and the significance of a BOSJ entry. I thought he was being a pain in the ass, but at the same time I liked that he felt that strongly about it. Maybe this leaves him a little conflicted. I understand how he feels, but at the same time, if you have an opportunity dangling in front of you in your career, you're wrong not to seize it, and I want him to seize something by teaming with Mistico in this series. >And don't worry about Mistico. Even with his partner like this, he'll show up for the fans like Mistico always does. I have complete trust in him.>So that's it. I'm off Super Jr. Tag League, and Yasuda is in. Ah, and as for (November 9 Shin Kiba 1st Ring produce event) 'Gaspe' Invitational. I can't move, but my desire to see something truly horrific trumps all that, so we'll be going ahead as planned. Show up." New Japan Pro-Wrestling joins fans in wishing Desperado a speedy, full recovery.
>>21386340Holy shit an actually interesting cmll/njpw match
Now Despe can be serviced by Itoh and Kittoh from his bedside. Good for him (and Yasuda)
>>21386311>From the start of this year I'd noticed some strange sensations in my left glute, and there was some tingling in my legs from around March.

He didn't even work much during that time either

Desperado shouldn't be allowed to do anything but NJPW from now on.

>>21388221There isn't a proposed Forbidden Door in Japan. AEW wrestlers are "invading" Wrestle Kingdom. According to a few NJPW podcasters AEW is playing to run AEW shows in Japan next year and will borrow some NJPW guys to help draw. They aren't official Forbidden Door PPVs
>>21382406That fat fuck yelling “GOD DAMN IT” when Dick Togo trips someone during the second match on the card multi man tag pisses me off to no end.
