Kizuna Road :lupe:

Bullet dodged.:whew::banderas::blessed::gladbron:

Also - ZSJ is fukking money on the mic :russ:. Talked cash shyt to the crowd, called some girl a tart then went backstage and continued his feud with warm beer, told Yoshi Hashi that he's a young boy now and that he should cop Zack's toiletries from Lush "No animal testing - I'm only cruel to other professional wrestlers :umad:". :wow:

Honestly, Ibushi and Sabre are the two smartest men in wrestiing for not signing with WWE when they approached them. They would both have been wasted beyond belief.

Kaito's main events have been fire but a bit too long. The same story can be told in 20 minutes as opposed to 40.

ZSJ promos are like half the reason I even watch NJPW backstage segments. Dude's got the juice on the mic.

Watched the Kizuna Road show from the other day.

Man.......they've got to stop giving foreigners live mics in front of an audience. Jay White was out there shooting for nuclear heat by shytting on Shibata, and gets crickets because no one understands what he's saying. And half the time, the foreigner can say some wild shyt, and it immediately gets clowned by the Japanese face basically starting the promo with "English. Lol."

Most popular wrestlers in Japan according to Number Magazine (Sports magazine from Japan)

Tana and Naito BY FAR being the most popular means that Gedo will make them hot potato the IC title for the next 5 years :blessed:

And Taichi is in the top 20 :wow: That will change when he wins the G1

SANADA being top 5 and higher than Ibushi is insane to me, and I say that as a huge SANADA stan.

Should've been higher but at least Daisuke Sekimoto made the top 50. Hideki Suzuki...:mjcry:

SANADA is top 4. :wow:

That means he will lose the next 5 matches against Okada. :mjcry:

I can't believe how low is the DG stock between the fans. The most popular guys are CIMA and T-Hawk and they aren't with the company no mo :mjcry:

And yes, seems like Japanese Brian Kendrick is surprisingly popular.

Karl Anderson used to be very smart about this. He'd just make his point in the simplest manner possible with the fewest words, and it would get over because fans could grasp rudimentary English.

I loved ZSJ's promo, but I wasn't surprised it got no reaction live.
