Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

AEW doesn't hold all the cards. NJPW booking Okada and Ospreay in big singles matches is good for the two promotions' relationships but it's not like AEW could just say hey let's hold off until ALL IN when that isn't a co-promotional event.

But ALL IN does need to have memorable matches. You can't put MJF vs. Jungle Boy in front of 75,000+ people and say "here's yalls main event" that would be ridiculous.

I mean, that goes without saying. All In will be their biggest show in history and they have to deliver something memorable to keep the momentum of a 70k attendance show with a hot crowd.

Ospreay could have a match against Jay White, or a tag match with Takeshyta against Omega and Ibushi and it would still be a very big deal. All the while you can book MJF vs Punk or Danielson vs Punk, or MJF vs Omega (wouldn't make much sense but my point is that there's plenty of money matches left on the table), or many other options.

I wonder if the Japanese fans see Okada how we see Okada.

Or if they see somebody like Roman how we see Okada.


Either way, Just was thinking how he’s above the IWGP Title now. Wish this reign would have went on longer for sure but don’t care to see him get it back any time soon. Honestly wish he could’ve had a great IC title run before they killed it.

I had no clue New Japan had a dude like Yota Tsuji under their sleeve

Was he a standount during his excursion to Rev Pro or is he another example of CMLL turning someone into a potential star after working in Mexico?

HE was in CMLL

HE was in CMLL

I know, he went to CMLL and Rev Pro, I'm asking if his leap was in Mexico or the UK. Because if it was in CMLL, that's three stars that company has gift wrapped for New Japan in 10 years

He's primarily been in CMLL since November but he's had 54 matches in RevPro and 42 in CMLL. So I guess you can say he got promoted from RevPro to CMLL

Starting Dominion. Was gonna skip some matches but decided to just watch the entire show.

 

[MenacingMonk]

The Rev Pro title looks better than the NJ and E Undisputed belts.

 

[MenacingMonk]

How you gonna let a man sit on your face?

 

[MenacingMonk]

So Bullet Club just became a stable of young boys lions?

 

[MenacingMonk]

Finley might go down as the WOAT BC leader.

At least Jay White was still young in his journey when he was pushed in. Dave had years on Jay and he’s still average. He’s showing a little more personality, but ELP is shining more in this match.

I hope Gedo learned from Goto not winning in 07'. We all thought dude had next after losing to Tana, and 16 years later he never really sniffed a legit shot at winning the IWGP title
