Clicking on that has lead me to this article about Suzuki being out of character:
https://hairywrestlingfan.com/2018/06/13/15-awesome-out-of-character-moments-from-minoru-suzuki/

And yes, the article includes the Mecha Mummy feud, as well as a pic of Suzuki at WM34 in which he looks like he is ready to go to the ring and just choke some fuckers out.

That last one seems entirely in-character, though? Or is the OoC that he didn't follow through?

The latter. I mean, he went to that poo poo show, and yet no young lions (read: NXT jobbers) were killed trying to stop him.

Minoru Suzuki running someone over with a bicycle is not out of character. Also, the more I learn about Minoru Suzuki the more he seems like a really cool dude.

Snoopy and Iizuka are also the only two to share a collar, so it's pretty much a closed case.

if you watch enough New Japan, you will realize that Yano is the greatest wrestling since Antonio Inoki. He's gotten nearly every wrestler, without too much prompting to do some of the stupidest poo poo imaginable. Even got a DUD rated match with Omega.

I am so god drat excited for YTR vs ZSJ. I have an irrational hope that YTR will tap ZSJ out and I'll have no one to blame but myself when I find myself broken hearted after the match is over.

Dear New Japan thread,

How many times does one wrestler have to get seriously hurt to get **** or better? I heard one broken neck is a guaranteed five stars.

YTR is going to win because he never goes for the punch to the balls and ZSJ doesn't know what to do. Book it.

Johnny Saint passed to ZSJ a technique that would beautifully counter the ball punch. ZSJ has yet to bust it out yet.

ZSJ in the tags against Yano has always had the answer to Yano's antics so it should be fun to see if Yano going serious throws Zach off his game.

I want Yano to lose every match because his opponents cheat and take advantage of his new leaf and then he snaps in the last match and breaks every rule in the book to pick up his only two points.

no matter how long it is, yano/zsj will have been 15 minutes too short

I just rewatched because it's short and I liked it so much but Sanada getting fed up with Yano in last year's G1 made such a great match.

He squeezed his legs together to counter it in the G1 Special multi-man match, if that wasn’t it then I absolutely need to see this special technique

Okada/Yano from last year's G1 is a personal favorite.

Side note: a friend of mine got someone into NJPW by showing them the G1 through the eyes of Yano, and he was amazed and delighted and now he watches New Japan.

Oh God, the end of the match where Okada is triumphantly posing and Yano is standing defeated and then just goes :shrug: and moves on is so loving great.
