Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

[Jmare007]

I'm watching the G1 finals show and why did the crowd hate Go so much? I've never really seen the BOO/YAY stuff in a strike battle in Japan like that before.

Suwama vs Strong BJ had similar reactions in the different matches they had at Korakuen (singles & tags). The boo/yay thing is way too new and "american" for it to have been a real thing in puro before 2010.

[Scottie Drippin]

Time for a Goto/Ishii tag run then

 

[Shaq]

I like the mix of new teams (Why Billy Gunn tho???) but honestly they could have thrown in junior teams instead of some of these teams that obviously won't win and let guys like Tana rest

[Jmare007]

Wait, Shibata lost the title again?

Puro promotions are always really fukking protective with their established talent. They barely job unless it's against a bigger or equal name or a champ. Indy promotions know this so whatever happens it's on them
