Thanks to everyone who posted in the WK livethread it was an excellent time. I'm excited for more "pro wrestling" in TYOOL 2020.

Indeed, maybe New Japan world was worth subscribing to after all. I will have to conduct further research on this.

Man that Persona 5 'tron was an absolute banger and also quite fitting (from what I've heard about P5 at least, I still haven't played it because no PS4)

You can always tell whether YOSHI-HASHI is about to win or lose a match based on whether he looks like he just drank a bottle of bottom shelf or if he looks like he just drank a bottle of mid-shelf.

The naitailure meme is getting old and tired and Naito very much the modern Japanese incarnation of Stone Cold and 2013/2014 Daniel Bryan, even if he's not the best at getting 5 star matches out of any given opponent on any given day.

Naito is exponentially more lame than Stone Cold and Daniel Bryan and it has nothing to do with his matches, which are fine

The Fale dojo is more oriented towards getting trainees ready to do wrestling at all and prepare them for the NJPW dojo than making a NJPW star out of them (which kinda explains Michael Richards) so it wouldn't be too weird for them to coexist.

Any given member of LIJ or Suzuki-gun vs Yano in a singles match is pretty much always guaranteed to be at least 8 stars.

Naito vs Tanahashi is always extremely good and hasn't been done since the 2017 G1, I'd be surprised if Tana didn't get a challenge in for the IC or IWGP belts this year against Naito.

e: Tana does also have that victory against Naito in a multiman from late 2019 which Naito wants to avenge for what it's worth :v:

He gets paid a decent amount of money (I assume; it doesn't sound like anyone in NJPW is wrestling for nothing) to wrestle a lot of multi-man tags for the second biggest company in Japan; he never really has to work hard or shift up a few gears outside a couple of matches a year and its pretty much guaranteed that he'll be there until he retires unless he upsets people. In the big scheme of things; I'd consider that a success - sure he doesn't have the accolades or the money of wrestlers higher up the card but also I'm certain that he's a lot less beaten up than them so it all comes around in the end.
When you put it like that I want to be YOSHI-HASHI
