Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Nakamura vs. Okada
AJ Styles vs. Kenny Omega
Tana vs. Cena
Seth Rollins vs. Tetsuya Naito
Brock Lesnar vs. Katsuya Kitamura
Finn Balor vs. Hiromu Takahashi

Give me Braun vs Kitamura and im good on that card.

Naito's disinterested fukkery with Rollins pulling off moves like the world is ending could be an interesting heel/face dynamic too

 

[Drones]

Sami Zayn vs Naito could be amazing, just the contrast in character (plucky, energetic face who dances to the ring vs. DGAF heel who walks to the ring at a glacial pace) would be an interesting dynamic, nevermind how obviously good the work would be.

KUSHIDA vs Neville would be lit too...fukk this is a wormhole I didn't want to go down because I know it'll never happen.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

The US G1 will be for the NJPW US title

 

[stro]

That looks terrible. It's going to be even more terrible when Chodey Rhodes is the first champ.

 

[MenacingMonk]

Belt looks like a create-a-belt for a shytty wrestling video game.










Still wish I could go to the shows

 

[CBoz]

It's red, must belong on Raw.

 

[Apex]

I wonder what the purpose of that title is. If it's just another title defended on NJPW shows, then it's no different than the NEVER title or even the IC title.

What is their plan for expansion? What talent can they possibly get that aren't signed to ROH already?

 

[stro]

As of a few months ago their plan was to have US brand based in California, using mostly their gaijin talent and presumably garbo SoCal talent like Joey Ryan since he somehow finds his way into everything. With flyovers from time to time, of course. Basically a rehashing of NJPW Dojo from the mid 2000s.

Breh they're eating Ring of Honor's lunch right now, they'll probably just take a bunch of those guys. Jay Lethal is the first confirmed participant for the tournament to get the belt.

That belt better be exclusive to the LA dojo/indy they are gonna run in California

Apex has been given this explanation like 4 times already at this point I hope dude is a troll.

He let you hold the belt? Damn I'm jealous.

He dont give a fukk about a belt. Naito prob would have let him take it home.
