i sat next to this woman from japan wearing an *old* shinsuke shirt, bowlcut hairdo era shinsuke. when he lost at mania she went into fullblown crying mode, when he turned heel she just started sobbing and the woman next to her had to console her. it ruled.

ZSJ looks like there isn’t a muscle in his body tbh. If you’re gonna be skinny fine but skinny fat doesn’t look great for a wrestler. When he’s gassed the way he stands sometimes looks like he can barely hold himself up. It bugs me

ZSJ has the exact right body type for his style and the english commentary team has done a great job of expanding on that point.

I'm really glad they're running with Kenny being upset that the Bucks even had to make a choice and didn't automatically side with him rather than running with Kenny being too stupid to watch the tape.

ZSJ has the kind of build where if you underrate him at first but then see him in action, you'd go, "Wow, this guy's really, really good," but if your first impression is from other people breathlessly describing how cool he is in the ring and then you see this skinny dude come out, you'd probably say, "Who the gently caress is this geek and why does he need to eat a sandwich?"

There's a defenceman in the NHL named Zdeno Chara who went vegan in the offseason, and he's said he has more energy than he has his last few seasons which is sorta important since he's almost 7' on skates (he's also 41) and he's also said he's had an easier time staying healthy and playing big minutes. I don't think I could go vegan but I have mad respect for people who do and improve their life because of it.

I was NOT a huge fan of Flat Affect Jr. in the CWC mainly because instead of looking like a cocky dick who was bored of his lesser opponent, he looked like a skinny rookie without a character. He never looked like he was in pain or had any feelings at all about the match he was in.

However, I'm watching ZSJ v Okada right now and man, he's improved a lot in that area. Right after Okada tossles his hair, ZSJ's character really comes out and you can see a brash, cocky dick start to emerge (sup :dong:). This Okada match is really rehabbing my opinion of him and making me interested in seeing more of his future work.

Okada doing All In helps a lot imho but if it's just him vs a BTE buddy like Flip Gordon count me out.

What am I saying, of course he's doing a 6 man with Best Friends.
