Your hatred of Gedo is becoming Heenan-Hogan level
The last 3 and a half years have been a steady path towards legit
to his persona. Dude makes it so hard for me to watch the puro I love

Zeus vs, Daisuke Sekimoto (AJPW)
The first half was way too long, it did establish Zeus chops are more powerful than Daisuke's so Sekimoto had to resort to other means to inflict real damage, but still, they spent way too much time in something that wasn't that compelling. But once the match starts to get going it's really good, fighting spirit spots made sense and the last 6-7 minutes are really fukking good. Entertaining final

Entertaining tag match between EVIL/Naito vs Ishii/Goto on Sundays Road to Dontaku show. 5 on 5 elimination match was also good.
Did they say what they're doing with the matches on the show they cancelled?
I read they were dividing them between between the 4/27 show and Wrestling Dontaku

Mr. Money in the Bank
I do give Gedo props for booking a 5 vs 5 elimination match at Korakuen this weekend. shyt is 2 years late but it's something I guess
That match was lots of fun. The CHAOS vs Suzuki Gun one from couple years ago was fun too.

Those matches are always fun, that's why I don't get why he didn't book stable wars with the dope roster he had. CHAOS vs Suzuki Gun could've been sooo dope if he put more effort to it.

Should Never Mention Me
Not to mention we had full strength for BG for years and didn't get a single main attraction match out of it. Stable wars have never been NJ's strength though.
And really, very few companies have ever properly done stable wars. Burning/Sterness and Embassy/GenNext are now a decade old and still haven't been matched

Stable wars was the bread and butter of New Japan for two decades (80's and 90's) and in puro are not that hard to book. I wasn't asking for Dragon Gate fukkery level of stable wars, just more focused booking on people not fighting for titles. The way Gedo and Jado mismanaged the beast of a roster they had for 2-3 years is really staggering. Specially when you consider that even with that iffy booking they were having great shows constantly, they pretty much became post CZW feud Gabe Sapolski in ROH
The fact they stopped doing interpromotional feuds (I kinda consider those stable wars too tbh) also hurts and makes no sense.
shyt, NOAH vs Kensuke Office was fun as fukk in 08' (the Captain's Fall match is a legit one of the most underrated matches in the 00's) and the NOAH/New Japan feud also gave us fun matchups....even All Japan vs Strong BJ was incredibly fun.
I'm glad you are not defending his booking no mo' breh

Nah. Invasion Attack I think was the last time I felt he was still on a good wave. I don't really consider interpromotional to be stable feuds, it's a different animal. I highlight Burning/Sterness and Embassy/GenNext because they featured long and flowing character threads, great matches in various variations, gave tons of people shine, and made different people on different levels.Stable wars was the bread and butter of New Japan for two decades (80's and 90's) and in puro are not that hard to book.

I talk about that KO/Burning tag all the time. It's one of my all time favorites, but KO/Burning was only ever about KENTA/Naka/Kobashi/Shinsuke.

That's enough for me breh. That's why I got so frustrated with Gedo, I wasn't asking for much
fukk, at least he could've gave us an Heisei Ishigun type of angle with Bullet Club, or Suzuki Gun, or CHAOS
I hope they go that direction with Los Ingobernables.And just do what All Japan did and put Strong BJ on the midcard having dope matches with young dudes, they are perfect to give some meaning to that wack ass 6 man tag title they have now.
Or call back Suzuki Gun, a MiSu/Naito feud would be bananas at this point.
