Jay White in WWE would just be doing exactly what Seth Rollins is doing but on the opposite show.

If Jay decides to go to WWE then he deserves every burial and lame act they give him

It worked out so well for Kushida tho

GOAT promotion

Finally watched both nights of WK, some observations:

-didn’t really care for the comedian that cosplayed as Don King as I didn’t know what he was saying

-NJPW needs new tag teams, GoD reclaimed the titles yet again

-Osprey stepped up his Robe game to compete w/ Okada they also had the match of the night. Glad Okada finished the match w/ the Rainmaker lariat

- Master Wato took an L at his first WK

-Shingo and Cobb had the match of night 2

-Ibushi, Naito, Okada needs to stop taking these suplexes where they land on their neck/head area.

-Ibushi doesn’t really fukk with the IC championship. The might as well give it to Naito so he can kayfabe disrespect it.

I can't lie...Wato beginning to look like he has potential

New Japan should start signing their 1 (or 2) year contracts around the G-1 Climax and not Wrestle Kingdom. If a gaijin wants to leave, then make him do it before the G-1 so the build up towards their biggest show doesn't go to "waste".


Still, I'd think White would want to stay a little longer but who knows what kind of offer he's getting.

Time to stop strapping the rocket to these unloyal gaijins

It's been almost 40 years of it (since Brody smartened up), they'll never stop doing it

Dave giving 5 matches *****+ for WK

Dude is such a mark. I didn’t think anything was 5 or better. I’d give several 4 to 4.75 tho.

 

[stro]

I think I'd give Shingo/Cobb 5 and White/Ibushi 5, Hiromu/Ishimori whatever is closest to 5 without being 5.

Masato Tanaka is a heavyweight champion in 2021. This case must be submitted to science. He's a freak of nature

Insane. If you told literally anyone who watched those Mike Awesome matches from back in the day that he'd still be going 21 years later, and look like he's somehow in better shape, AND not have a slurpee for a brain, they'd call you crazy.

Not sure we can say he doesn't have a slurpee for a brain though
