People keep comparing LIJ to high school weirdo fan clubs, and if you remember those social circles they never loving helped each other either, so this is just staying on brand.

Liger is pissed a junior finally should be champion had a visual pinfall was clearly the better wrestler and he got screwed because Red Shoes is useless.

Tonfa posted:This is a total heel move by Naito and people still applaud for him Naito is so beloved that the entire nation of Japan cheers him for beating up babyfaces like Juice Robinson and the audience tells Tanahashi to gently caress off and retire already when he challenges for a belt that Naito's actively destroying, there's not really much to "get" IMO

That performance was total Ace Things for Hiromu and he can be the God-King of NJPW at any time if they ever get over "but he's a junior heavyweight". EVIL did good enough.

New Japan has become a juggernaut in Japan on the drawing power of Okada and Naito.

Okada has been so bad since NJPW came back lmao. What the gently caress is he even doing? At least Naito and EVIL will sell out a baseball stadium and give us the high quality pro wrestling we deserve.

Okada's the corporate golden boy that Bushiroad puts in all their promotions and ads, but Naito alone represents 20% of all of NJPW's merch sales and people actually bought limited edition 1500 dollar statues of his hand. Naito is the biggest draw.

Naito is the biggest draw. Okada sold out his 3rd match against SANADA during a typhoon at sumo hall. The guy obviously moves tickets. Some markets Okada is stronger and some Naito is stronger. Not that I'm gonna really be pressed arguing this. Bushiroad has a strategy where both are being worked into the ground. They are both the top draws in the country. I wouldn't necessarily equate being popular with selling tickets. The numbers don't lie in the words of Scott Steiner. Okada and Naito have done ridiculous business

Okada applies the seventh Cobra Clutch on Naito in the main event of Wrestle Kingdom 15 to absolute silence, convinced that the reason the crowd is slowly filing out through the doors is that they don't understand his brilliant psychology yet. Backstage Gedo sheds a single tear at what he has wrought.

Okada will get the cobra clutch over. At which point he will achieve apotheosis and ascend to the heavens before our eyes

At my local anime convention I do a NJPW and a Japanese Death Match panel. One year I showed this match for like 200 people probably and it got a standing ovation at the end.

Chinston Wurchill posted:I wonder if this is leading to some kind of blowoff (retirement?) or if it's just their way of keeping themselves entertained? Yeah, that’s kinda what I was thinking too. Those two are getting a ton of time for something not involving belts. Suzuki recently-ish posted that thing about how he’s definitely not quitting (which autotranslated to him announcing he was done and everyone freaked the hell out), so if it’s a retirement thing it’s probably not him. Maybe they just want to do a special singles match again since they remembered how much fun they have together

Also: Wato tags himself in, Nagata is like "No gently caress that" and just gets back in the ring. Holy poo poo I have never liked Yuji Nagata more than I have since NJPW came back.
