Grand master GOATO

He’s going to be putting out 6 star Tokyo Dome matches in a few years. We are all very fortunate to witness Geddo create another puro superstar.

 

[Jmare007]

The funniest part of that match is those four brutes (well, three brutes and Sato) grunting like cavemen during the whole thing.

I hadn't seen a BJW deathmatch in a while. It's so weird seeing Abdullah Kobayashi with hair and Ryuji Ito with a beer gut.

I didn't think Abby Jr could get more and disturbing than what he already was but corona hits, dude grows his hair and
it's even more than before

Darkness Club instead of EVIL CLUB? Gedo is the worst.

 

[DaylitoJames]

Darkness club? What is this shyt? It was supposed to be Evil dikk Club!

His t-shirt looks better than I thought it would I originally thought instead of the cross machine guns they would use cross reaper scythes but this design is good as well

 

[DaylitoJames]

Hiromu facing Evil for the titles next Saturday according to New Japan World. What if Evil tells Hiromu that his title gotta be on the line too and he ends up with 4 belts? And then just doesn't stop from there?

Can Evil even qualify to compete for the Jr. Heavyweight Title for fukkery sakes?

 

[The Rainmaker]

Some HIGH DRAMA today at Korakuen to start the next tour.

Don't worry, YOSHI-HASHI fans, his career threatening injury was a hoax and he's back.

Yujiro being a threat all of a suddenThis too shall pass, Okada

Wato isn't ready, brother Nagata and Suzuki can't stop fighting each other.

It's so weird seeing Naito getting second billing behind Hiromu, who teased for a second to join Bullet Club, but it was just mind games.

Yujiro being any sort of relevant again is dude's "peak" was literally 7 years ago

damn just read this

Kazuchika Okada & Hirooki Goto defeated Yujiro Takahashi & Gedo (11:51)

I was willing to give this Yujiro vs. Okada program a shot but it was clear in this match that they need to get out of this as soon as possible. Yujiro's work is just nowhere near Okada's level and the people don't care about the feud.

Jeez

 

[julesocean]

Just catching up on all this. fukkin Evil. EVIL.

How hard is it to understand the Covid Era is gonna be looked at with sympathy and there is no reason for Gedo to stray from his long term booking plan. I refuse to believe this is what he had planned either.

I'd be phoning it in hard if I was Naito rn.

damn just read this




Jeez

People were bytching about Yujiro getting little pushes in 2012 and 2013, and those were (just like this one) mainly because Gedo wanted to use him to give his opponent someone new to beat but fans were like NOPE

It's a crime that as 'The Tokyo Pimp' Yujiro doesn't have a backhand slap in his arsenal

I also understand why he's facing Okada - it's another version of 'long pants/ red hair/ balloons' Kazu, after losing to Naito in January. We get to see Pieter again at some point, so I guess....'YAY!'?

Overall, I don't like it though.

Big Japan's 07/12 show at Korakuen (a double show) was cut to shyt by Samurai TV. Only got 5 minutes of Astronauts vs Okami and the main event was cut in half it still had some really cool moments/sequences at least.

They did show like 95% of this though

Daisuke Sekimoto & Kohei Sato vs Yuji Hino & Quiet Storm - BJW Tag Tiitles match 7/12/20

It's basically 2 brutes clashing (Hino and Daisuke), one dude that wants to fit in and actually finds a way to do it convincingly (Quiet Storm) and the other one that can't hang in the strength department but will strike anyone to Bolivia. All in all a fun tag match considering that Korakuen was at 1/4 of the capacity. If you missing big dudes doing monster things, this will up your alley @TheGodling

There's some funny moments and some cool sequences like this one

It's a shame Gedo buried a certain talented LIJ member last year in a so-called "rivalry" with Okada because if there was ever a time to build SANADA with a good back-and-forth feud with Okada it would be now.

Five Bomb Classic

Let me go ahead and apologize in advance in case what I'm about to say is some wild shyt.

But, uh......

What's good with Mike Awesome Jr's short ass arms in this gif?

Dude physique is weird as hell, like a grown up midget (which wouldn't make him a midget but not sure how else to describe him ).

Never really liked Quiet Storm, and it's crazy to me he's been working in Japan for almost 2 decades now. But hey, you put him in the Strong Division setting and of course dude looks good, that's what Strong BJ is all about
