Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

[Kidd Dibiase]

Kenny Omega appeared on The Taz Show. The highlights are below…

“I have come so far to almost having a complete career [in NJPW], do I end that now to pursue something else somewhere else?” Omega asked. “Now people are talking about me and now WWE is more receiving of using me in a way that I can contribute. I don’t want to just take a payday and collect a check. While I’m still healthy, while I still have ideas in this crazy head of mine, I want to contribute and I want to do things that are going to make wrestling fans happy and are going to make new people into wrestling fans that were wrestling fans before, I want to contribute in that manner. If a company like WWE were willing to use me in that manner, if they had good ideas for me and I had good ideas that jived with that, I would heavily consider that.”

Can't knock Kenny's hustle of doing whatever he can to make NJ think he'll jump so they'll offer him a better deal and give him the title.

Anybody watching Fantasticamania? It's live right now. Will Ospreay is flipping around for no reason in a tag match with some luchadors.

Bruh, he and Ibushi are trying to hold up NJ into giving them a main event program, and I get the feeling Ibushi wants to do it without committing to them long time.

About to watch Fantasticamania. The shows are usually fun as hell. Flips, dives, and outright wacky shyt.

HUSTLE 1

DO THE HUSTLE, brehs

It's amazing that a show with multiple PRIDE stars, contracted WWE main eventer Goldberg, Dusty Rhodes, Mil Mascaras, Alberto Del Rio, and a breakdown where non-Asian hotties dance for the crowd to Chyna's entrance music is the most normal Hustle show.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Never seen HUSTLE...but holy shyt I really want to now. I'm a Pride mark and seeing the gifs warms my heart

What y'all brehs think about SANADA from LIJ? Recently taken a look at his recent work and for some reason I'm starting to become a fan.

It might be that theme and his look.

Question for everyone: how does Dragon Gate compare to New Japan? I was thinking of checking out some Dragon Gate shows.

Pure nonstop motion. Not much in terms of selling imo but it's fast paced fun.
