No one was better in the ring 2023 and it wasn't even close. But the genuine love and gratitude he has for NJPW and its fans, and they have for him, really got me emotional. I admit my own connection to the country and my love of NJPW biases this, but when he was talking of anxiety issues and the struggle of living in zombie Japan for 3 years during Covid-19 it got me. Standing at the entrance way on his way to the back after the main event, it was like he could barely turn himself around and have it all end. He could do with toning down the "bruv" stuff but maybe, just maybe, the silly boy has become a man. Mrs Ospreay? Is that you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 So Jungle Boy Jack Perry is now in House of Torture and is saying that he asked for his release from AEW but it was turned down, I'm pretty sure that's just in character but yeah he's back wrestling again.

Paid Members Supremo Posted April 13 Paid Members Share Posted April 13 Roman Reigns. Beltless loser. Seth Rollins. Beltless loser. Can’t even do a poxy run-in. Jon Moxley though? IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. First and only man to ever win WWE, AEW and New Japan World Titles. Brilliant. The one true ace of The Shield. Top move by New Japan. Definitely enough for me to start watching regularly again. Also quite funny that Mox isn’t even in AEW at the moment, enjoying his Easter Holidays, and yet the moment more Punk bullshit kicked off he still ended up with a World Title around his waist. Like a prophecy. Life finds a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Supremo Posted April 13 Paid Members Share Posted April 13 (edited) Matt Riddle acting the tit, going full Austin Aries, no-selling his loss, and high-fiving fans as he danced out of the arena was interesting. Has he managed to fuck up his New Japan deal already? I mean, it was always cursed to begin with, but that's record time! Man's a Grade-A whopper. Glad this means he likely won't be at Forbidden Door. Edited April 13 by Supremo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrodyGraham Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 They're not wrong any match with EVIL in it is very much to be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TildeGuy~! Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Spoiler They’ve pretty much confirmed Moxley’s dropping the title At Forbidden Door to Naito though as he won’t be in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JLM Posted July 21 Paid Members Share Posted July 21 I have decided to watch all the Takeshita matches in the G1. One of my long term ongoing frustrations with AEW is their under-utilisation of Takeshita, so I'm watching his G1 run spoiler-free and rooting for him to go all the way. Also he's in the same block as Jeff Cobb and that match sounds highly appealing to me. G1 20/07/2024 Takeshita vs Yota Tsuji Spicy one to start the tournament! Takeshita at 29 years old and Tsuji at 30. Both young, full of charisma and wrestle a very modern style. Tsuji one of the most promising next-in-line guys for a New Japan in desperate need of them. He has a great physical charisma about him, the smile is brilliant and he is quite the crazy high spot machine for a guy his size. Takeshita is also one of the brightest stars of the Japanese new generation. a bit further along than Tsuji and also with the height and power advantage in this match. This was a cracking match. Takeshita dominating for a lot of it, but Tsuji trying to show he can do everything Takeshita can and refusing to be steamrolled . One nasty moment where Takeshita fell of the turnbuckles when they were going for a Spanish fly, but other than that this was a great scrap. Hard-hitting, heated, some wonderful sequences of counters and near falls at the end. It was a decent length at 17 mins, but still felt like a bit of a teaser for many more showdowns between these two who, if Takeshita does return to Japan full time after AEW, will be long term generational rivals. Seen a lot of people saying this was the best match of G1 Night 1 and that doesn't surprise me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Interesting how they label Takeshita's name in romanji unlike others, it's likely for the English/AEW viewers but it gives him even more of an "outsider" feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members JLM Posted July 22 Paid Members Share Posted July 22 Yeah the ring announcer also said “Konosukeee Takeeeshitaaaaaa” rather than the other way around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
