Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

Danielson has said he wants to wrestle Zack in England so I wouldn't be shocked if he wants to do Rev Pro a solid and give them that match.

I can see that. Especially now that Will Ospreay says he is done wrestling the indies after he starts up with AEW. Ospreay's last match in RevPro is next weekend

Just finished Danielson vs. Sabre

Love those two men, such incredible talents.

Completely forgot about the show. Coulda watched some of it live since I was up til almost 4 AM.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Gonna try to crack in 2 matches before the SB. I hope Okada keeps his theme if he’s AEW bound.

BD/ZSJ 2 was great. The last 10-15 minutes were

Think I still prefer the first match at WD. It felt like the blending of submissions, strikes, counters, etc were paced better throughout the match. This one was mat wrestling the first half and more of a mix in the second.

Definitely my MOTY so far tho. Dragon on his remix tour of greatness to finish his AEW contract.

I’m glad I ran BD/ZSJ back or else I woulda not known NJ was coming back to my area. Probably woulda found out a month or 2 before the show. You mu fukkas are supposed to keep us updated on American shows.

Anyways, running the Toyota Arena is a big move, and I think they waited too late to do it. AEW didn’t sell it out last time they were here. They did do well the first time they were doing Rampage, but that was 2022. NJ gotta have some sort of AEW influence if they wanna put more asses in seats.

I like how the Japanese fans chant “Ospreay!” When his theme says it. Hopefully the American fans catch on. Personally, I’d rather hear “oooo oooh we’re so elevated” chants. I noticed some fans said it.

Cage looking sort of like the one used in the CZW/ROH COD.

Lucha Bros finally going to be able to work New Japan and thus Forbidden Door?

They can’t even get booked in AEW

 

[MenacingMonk]

fukkin crazy main event. Can’t believe these dudes went an hour of crazy ass bumps. You know these mu fukkas are still feeling the pain, especially Os; dude almost fukked his head up on the cage during the table bump.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Uh oh

 

[Jmare007]

Uh oh

I feel bad for Umino, Tsuji, Narita and Uemura. This company has failed them in every possible way to try to keep things afloat.

That New Japan cage was basically a fence lol
