I guess the Naito to NXT takes are back but this one is probably even dumber

Imagine thinking Naito is mad and not happy that he's secured his legacy by getting his two proteges the biggest feud of the summer.

I wouldnt call that a stupid opinion really... like you may hate the phrasing but a near 40 minute match filled with bullshit that was like maybe 4th best on a below average show as a main event is Reign of Terror Huntor tier.

Show was great and the match was really good so it seems like a stupid opinion when someone is counting the fouls to try to prove to themselves something is bad. If they really thought it was bad they would just say "he uses too many fouls" instead of rewatching it to count the fouls and try to trick their brain into hating it.

It is fact that all good matches have at most 10 fouls

Lmao I never thought I'd see "Naito should go to All Japan" takes again. Cripes.

For the record though Ibushi was down for a nuts amount of time. I know it's those stupid fingers that have Iizuka's soul in them but still. They wasted so much time I explicitly thought it was to give Ibushi time to come back. But uh no it was just to hit 200 dragon screws and then.....not submit him with a leg based submission move....?

The funniest thing is that most of the hardcore Naito fans I know seem cool with the story and most of the people I see hating it are like WWE people or workrate people.

Because most hardcore Naito fans generally know Naito's history and thus probably remember that 2016 is a thing. :lol:

Also what true warmblooded LIJ fan could shun a Hiromu main event, I ask you.

They want him to win all the belts ever, stand tall, get a rollcall with every member of LIJ ever and get pyro and confetti all to close a Wrestle Kingdom. They won't be happy until it happens, so they'll never be happy, because that's not a realistic thing that's going to happen and it never was

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

i know it was the flow of conversation but i would like to do my fellow posters a solid and remind them not to talk about posts on this subforum in here. especially in these sensitive times about naito. it feels weird being IK and i don't want to push anyone to stop enjoying themselves too much considering the dumb ways that i interact with you all, so i'm trying to just be a guiding light rather than a 'force'.
