Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

[Honga Ciganesta]

I mean yeah, it seems it was Jericho vs Kenny or nothing. But if that was the case, I would've chose "nothing" and stick with the original plan with Kota.

And White could be elevated at the same time as Ibushi, shyt imagine the novelty of building White up so he's the one to beat Ibushi before he goes to do his own thing bah gawd that would be ground breaking booking stuff

I get the sense you have a problem with some of the booking NJPW have implemented over the past while

Wait a minute, they're doing CODY VS IBUSHI, too?

Gedo is such a piece of shyt

It seems like the only thing that's going to worth checking out is Naito/Okada for the potential title change. Unless ShiGOATA comes back and brings order to NJPW

Potential?

Gedo-San gives no damns about a payoff

Naito dreams of playing self frisbee with the strap could be just that...
