So what are the dope Super Jr matches?

Note: I will not be watching anything with Taguchi, Taichi, Tiger Mask IV, or maybe Taka unless he has a really good performance instead of comedy heel.

Naito:
‘You know, the last few days I've had a lot of Twitter matches objecting to my treatment of the Intercontinental belt. I'm surprised that so many of you love the Intercontinental Championship. I don't get it, not at all, but it's a good thing, good for you. But when it comes to other wrestlers pissing and complaining, I don't care. The only one who really stepped up in my face and cared was Jushin Thunder Liger, right? So apart from Liger, everyone else, really, is fine with what I do as champion. Even the next challenger is taking the whole tour off. I'm a champion and they don't give me the right to speak. They're about to make another belt just like this one. The Intercontinental Championship is redundant now, right? Maybe it's time to consign it to history’

Yo, Marty Scurll fukking sucks. Even worse than I remember. The bird wave, SUPER KICK JUST KIDDING LOLZ, he sucks at bumping, none of his strikes have any weight, and he's Miz/Konnan tier at catching dives. Just the kind of guy you want in the best of the super juniors :dwillhuh:

I forgot to post this here

NJPW Best Of The Super Juniors 2017 Part 1

I'm not feeling the BOTSJ AT ALL. Even shyt that should be lit as hell like Takahashi/Dragon Lee 15, or Ricochet/Ospreay, or Ricochet/Dragon Lee are pretty whatever. A big issue to me is that almost everyone has the same move sets (pumphandle move, corner move, running corner strike, seated running strike, flippy counter to something like a headscissors or arm ringer, Canadian destroyer , apron bump) that makes all matches feel pretty interchangeable regardless of who is involved. There's also the game G1 issue that everyone goes balls out on the first and second nights, then coasts the rest of the tour until the final night. The 1 cam house show shyt sure doesn't help, as guys take it extra easy on those nights.

But fukk Marty Scurll. God, he's absolutely dog shyt. What a terrible, terrible fit for such a tournament. Can't bump, isn't athletic, doesn't catch dives, terrible comedy that makes Taichi look solid. Even Ricochet/Ospreay, kings of flippy fukkery, had a match that was essentially derivative of a 1996 WCW cruiserweight match with a few extra rotations.

You can't have Kenny Omega in the main events as a heavyweight doing what he does and then expect me to believe what the juniors do is super impressive and unique. It's the issue the WWE cruiserweights have. Why are their flippy dippies supposed to impress me when Kevin Owens, Cesaro, and Roman Reigns are doing dives as well?

I'm inclined to agree with this assessment for the most part. I mean, I think 'absolutely dog shyt' is extreme but from what I've seen the guy is more into goofy silly antics than I care to watch. After every offensive move it seems like he has to do that stupid bird taunt or grab the ropes and yell at the crowd. Maybe he has more that I haven't seen yet but I haven't been impressed with him at all in this tournament.

Scurll should just wrestle in PWG, I only find him good there.

Right now? Nothing. All time low interest in everything wrassle. :francis:

I just want to drink myself to :deadmanny:

Did you check those Strong BJ matches? :sas1:

At this point I'm kinda curious to read you go full Ole on them even though they are pretty dope :pachaha:
