Essential Japanese Wrestling Discussion/News

[mannyrs13]

Catching up on what I think is the latest show. The one where Hiromu fought Ishii, and Evil vs Yoshi Hashi. So I was watching LIJ vs Gooto, Sho, and some jobber and I saw that they all had two belts. I know Naito is HW and IC and Shingo is Neveropenweight and six man, but whats the other belt that Bushi has cuz I saw him carrying two. Unless he had Evils belt with him?

 

[The Rainmaker]

Okada bout to get that strap for about 2 years

The moment he gets it back, the corona will go away. Watch it.

Unless he had Evils belt with him?

Yes, that was it.

I’m sorry, but Okada is the real Heavyweight Champion of the world. He’s the Los Angeles Lakers of pro wrestling

You might not like him on top, but it always makes sense

Okada is the 90s Bulls and when he's playing with balloons is the Bulls when Jordan was playing baseball

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Okada is the 90s Bulls and when he's playing with balloons is the Bulls when Jordan was playing baseball

the bulls won just 5 less games the season after jordan left.

and wouldve made it to the finals if the refs didnt screw them over in the playoffs.

This is the look of a guy who already knows his gimmick is shyt. Didn't even need a crowd to no-sell it, just knows it.

this pic is one that will live on in the archives of the IWC for years to come daddy.

BOOK IT MARKS.

Wow. When will Sanada finally get his shine.

When he develops any sort of charisma or personality.

He seems to think changing his hair cut and ring gear every year is enough

 

[TrueEpic08]

Wow. When will Sanada finally get his shine.

Never, because Sanada doesn't deserve shine.

He's the same boring, character bereft wrestler he's always been, he's just in a wildly popular stable now. At no point has he ever been better than good, and often times bores me out of my mind.

I like his fashion sense too, but fashion sense does not by itself make for an interesting gimmick.

He shows some personality last year when he started playing towards to coward and they ate it up.

The real reason is he didn't come through the Young Lion system. EVIL is closer to the IWGP belt than SANADA.

Matter of fact when the last time a non-Young Lion native won the IWGP belt?

 

[stro]

Probably Kensuke Sasaki or Takayama, either way 15+ years ago

Man, not only does he have that dumb ass gimmick, but he's stuck having a match against Mirror Universe Yoshi Hashi.

All I know is that they better not do my guy Oka like that when he gets back.




.......I mean, it can't be worse than the great O-Karn, right?

 

[TheGodling]

The SANADA slander in this thread.

I literally can't remember a single time I've seen Douki compete.
