grim

I'm so glad they raped Tsuji and sold off the Global title to AEW so that Ospreay could miss Dominion and be booked vs an AEW guy at Forbidden Door, while FD gets main evented by Blake Christian and Orange Cassidy

Kill Tanahashi

>>20640472
i would joke that the actual 2nd biggest show of the year is forbidden door but you can't even say that because 0 new japan guys are on it LOL

At this point putt YOH in the G1 is the only way to save it

>>20640472
NJPW needs new management and replace a lot of people.

>>20640472
>main evented by Blake Christian and Orange Cassidy
I can't tell if you're joking or if things really are that GRIM

>>20640472
Newman not getting his Ospreay match at Forbidden Door, is proof that Tony just wanted him on Dynamite because he had the V4

>>20640878
It's a 6 on 6 cage match with MJF's team vs Briscoes team. Blake isn't in it cuz MJF paid for Callis's family to join but Orange is definitely on Briscoe's team. They'll try to shoehorn like 1 or 2 New Japan guys in it but it's all about Briscoe getting a title shot so they're just background fodder if so lol

Who do KOB face, then?

Does Tony even know who they are?

Looks more full than half their Korakuen shows this year

>>20640457
Legit looks like a fan showing his replica collection. The absolute state.

>>20640991
I shall not be viewing

honestly, there is nobody with name value in the roster to call.

They can fill those spots with Mistico and some other CMLL guy.

Forgetting someone?

>>20641636
They booked an angle with the world champion involving Blake Christian in it. This isn't a good argument for the crossover card having as little crossover as possible.

>>20640991
>Briscoe
Aren't they a little late on that? His brother was killed 3 years ago.

The declining quality of Forbidden Door over the years has been a joke

It's insane that the first one is the best one when you had Jungle Boy challenging for the fucking IWGP title

Maybe Tonedawg should open the door further and let in other Japanese promotions. NJPW is kinda stale right now and it is fair to say that the novelty has worn off.

>>20641765
He's taking notes from Gedo on booking main event pushes too late.

>>20641893
Seeing that ugly Okada cosplayer from All Japan in AEW would be so funny

>>20641765
thats what got him on tv in the first place, then hes been over on his own since

Wrestlers that could work with AEW, as today...

>ZSJ
>Desperado
>Takagi
>Callum (because Ospreay)

Not a big demand for NJPW wrestlers right now.

Tonikan stole Okada and they did nothing about it.

>>20642071
Tony Con took everybody

You have to spread your ass and accept it. The money is too good.

>>20641768
The best Forbidden Door match there’s ever been was Desperado/Kanemaru vs Swerve and Keith Lee and it was on the preshow.

My backlog of the 70's, 80's, and 90's is so large I just really don't care about modern self indulgent britwres dominated grim japan.

>>20642226
>hates self-indulgency in wrestling
>loves Inoki
lol
lmao even

Dude didn't even put over his own protoge until he was a 40 year old rookie and there is nothing more self-indulgent than Inokism which was all about his ego and pretending he was the first real MMA athlete (ask Roland Bock about that)

Inoki gets a pass for being a huge celebrity, politician, activist and draw. Don't compare him to Callum

kek hypocrisy = exposed

Everyone keeps saying the Bucks and I couldn't think of a grimmer set of challengers for those guys. They have like 0 interesting teams at this point though so idk

>4-way with adam smol in it
>jungle boy just to set up his heel turn
>jeongmok ruins the whole spring season as champion so naito could embarrass himself getting it back
>zack defends against a retire ring announcer just cuz he's british
I hope for Tsuji's sake his demands as champion are a shoot because he might actually defend against Trent or something

>>20641768
No more point in forbidden door since most of the njpw players got poached already. Might as well kill the concept of it

>>20640433 (OP)
wow this dominion card looks awesome. definitely catching that one.

94 Super J Cup is still the best

Seeing American fans reactions to it would be worth it. I'd actually watch whatever they put him in

Is All Japan still a comedy fed?

>>20645183
Everyone is a comedy promotion at this point

>>20645183
All Japan is less comedic than Poo Crapan.

>>20645238
>getting defensive about AJPW in 2026

Unintentional funny like having Ren Ayabe on your roster counts as comedy

99% of the New Jaslop roster has no dog.

>>20646424
Isn't he Mox's student? Shota def got the DAWG in him.

>>20645880
Its hilarious how everyone focused on talking about his unfixed left bicep when his right arm was visibly disintegrating every time you saw him. And yet this guy still trusted Drilla to not kill him in that no DQ and had a couple decent showings in the G1 and WTL

That look of annoyance at the booing when he's in the ring. Geek. Should've been fired onthe spot

You have no idea how good wrestling was back in the 70's when people still cared.

same with roller derby

>>20647003
for me it was Roller Jam on TNN
