Extremely overbooked fukkery and I love it

Didn't know CIMA had lost his front teeth

Who remembers when Magnum Tokyo and CIMA were looked at as the future of Japanese wrestling?? The guys who were going to make the jump to the big feds/drag their own feds to the top and shine? Don't tell me, it was just me

You're saying that like CIMA didn't do just that. Dragon Gate is the #2 company in the country and CIMA was their ace throughout that rise. DG actually grew while every other company was suffering. Now, because of their style and being jr's only, it's unlikely they'll get any bigger than they are, but they went from a small indy to a japanese wrestling institution that does good business and CIMA was at the center of all of that. Tokyo would have been right there with him if it wasn't for the injuries and ultimately the eye injury that caused him to prematurely retire.

It's actually super impressive that DG was able to do what it did despite losing such generational talents like Tokyo, Shuji Kondo, SUWA, and Milano Collection AT. They had to build a whole new crop of stars almost out of nowhere in 2005/6 as all those guys left around the same time, and they used CIMA as the centerpiece and developed everyone around him.

Too be honest the roster right now is good but could use some mixing up, They need to start picking up more Indy Juniors like the M-Pro & ex Ultimo Dragon dojo alumni like Yoshytsune, Speed of Sounds and Fujita Hayato. Remember El Dorado though? that shyt put me on to Kota Ibushi, Wish it were still around.

Man, I haven't seen any M-Pro stuff in forever besides that 6-years from New Year's Eve with Sasuke and the Ninja Turtles and that might've been the weirdest match I've seen in a long time. What are they doing now?

Pretty much the same as always, You got Fujitta Hayato who's the main heel with a heel stable going good. Instead of the Ninja Turtle gimmick they got a Yapper man gimmick withe Speed of Sounds Hayato is is damn underrated and surprised New Japan never picked him up after this match





His Style fits

Subbing to thread

I haven't enjoyed pro wrestling in well over a decade, but NJPW on Axis TV introduced me to some stars and I'm loving it. Caught the whole season plus a few random matches on youtube, watching Wrestle Kingdom 9 now

Nakamura gotta be an all time contender already

Love Honma too. His match vs. Ishii this year was the perfect combination of wrestling quality and fukkery (the headbutts)

Probably won't be interested enough to keep 'up to date' on happenings, but will be on the lookout for great matches in the future
