Argument begins and ends with Tanahashi. Literally brought NJPW back from its deathbed and ushered it into a golden age as THE MAN. Memorable matches, always shows out at his company's biggest show.

Helped end a lot of unfair practices in New Japan.

this is and should be a good volume higher quality rant based discussion.


Nakamura had the best match of the decade and his impact is massive.


Cena and Okada round out the top 3

Glad to see cena get so much love


you need to rant that match.
I have not seen any nakamura match be match of the decade.
plus i seen aj eclipse and carry him in njpw.
plus the same match template used in any reoccuring series between them.
aj carried nakamura.
that their match in njpw was condensed and ends in the wwe.
rather prematurely, and the njpw is better than the domestic rehash by the wwe.

by the so-called collective,
which i have thought about here and there.
yet with okada, ace, cena being all booked by numbers..
which imo, expose my original rant on them.
when they were green as still existing today and never evolving as well.
plus booked in hogan time.

makes them over a period of time unlikable.
as the people saying and giving such high praise are not the original people proppin them. Plus have not ranted the matches for real for real over time to say different.

so please supply this nakamura match of the decade rant.

I wanna read this cause i do know via rant it not to be true.
nakamura, okada and the ace are just asian hogan, cena, and orton.
with an ability to do more in workrate because of locale.
the indy heroes been better than all those guys for nineteen years easy.

only difference between okada, Naka, and ace being who they are is timing. Sanada would be the guy if he was there via administration and timing.


all the indy heroes are better comprehensively in every facet.
than naka, okada, omega, and the ace.

to be really honest.

Bryan for me. How is Omega in the discussion for the decade? Maybe the last 5 years, sure.

I've only recently started to dive into the early part of the decade of NJPW (I first got into NJ with WK9) so I am not too familiar with prime Tanahashi yet, but he definitely putsin work and considering his role in revitalizing NJPW I can see people picking him over Okada.

This retroactive Cena stanning is leaving me clueless though, even if he was one of the most important wrestlers, he was never, at any point, the best at anything except being booked strong in the past decade.

Okada is my pick. I missed the misfire push he got when he came back from TNA and Japanese crowds weren't fukking with him like that. I got to watch him go from losing to Tana at WK 9 and leaving the arena like :sadbron:to becoming That Dude. His series with Omega was great, but the Shibata match is the stuff of legend.

Those were literally less than 60 days breh :pachaha:

The way I've seen it described - he was out here with Gedo for a minute, like :jawalrus: on some 'Make Rainmaker Look Strong' shyt.

If it was just two months, then he's definitely been on one for damn near the whole decade then :leon:
