If you are a wrestling fan watch Shibata/Okada hell watch sakura genesis
Shibata/Okada is moty for me. Loved it, even though they are turning Okada into a Roman reigns type who never loses. Shibata better win the title this year. That was just a crazy, brutal, stiff match. Loved it
Also kevin kelly and the jackal are pretty good together it was like a good episode of Metal lol
I would like Fale to actually win the title as he’s been having a vader type of year
Announcers called the injury off that irish whip before the flap jack he got caught and then landed Baaaaad on that flapjack
I did love Kushida/Takahashi going about 5 minutes
I want a whole wrestling show of quality 9 minute max matches
If you want a card full of short matches you should go back and watch Battlarts.
Okada vs Shibata was awesome. Loved how it felt like such a big match with the crowd fully on Shibata’s side. They put over Shibata super strong, he no sold the Rainmaker for Christ’s sake. That was suuuuch a good moment and it’s amazing that they saved it for Shibata. They clearly have huge plans for him going forward.
No way in hell will Fale win the belt. The NJPW Heavyweight title has a lot of prestige and I don’t see anyone like Fale getting any kind of run. Can you imagine the opening titantron for a championship bout and Fale’s face appearing?!
Fale’s job is to weaken Okada who is already really beaten down from exhausting and dangerous title bouts that have been pushing him to the limit. Kenny Omega will be the one to capitalise when Fale is defeated.
I want Naito to win the G1 but judging from how strong Shibata’s match was it could finally be his turn.
Hiromu vs Kushida was amazing, Kushida will defo win BoSJ now. Honestly I’d like to see Hiromu keep that title until WK.
Book it for me. Fale going over and having a title reign. Who does he defend it against and who does he drop it to? It sure as hell ain’t at Tokyo Dome.
Post count and join date?! About something that’s nothing to do with fighting games?
To be perfectly honest I’ve been into pro wrestling for a much shorter time than fighting games. Just after the 2015 G1. I don’t see how that matters but I’m not opposed to being shown where I’m going wrong.
Bob Sapp at the time was a hugely successful kickboxer and mixed marshmallow artist i.e. he had legitimacy as a real fighter which is why he was booked to be IWGP champion. Well that and Japan fucking loves him so they expected him to be a draw. People like to shit on the Inokiism period but people like Sapp and Ogawa are popular guys and it was not a bad idea to bring them in. WWE did the exact same with guys like Severn and Shamrock, people like legit badasses
Basically comparing Fale to Bob Sapp is dumb
*Apollo is so god damn boring. Being on Raw won’t help his cause at all if he continues to be a bland black create-a-wrestler. Comparing him to Shelton is an insult to Shelton Benjamin. *
