oh im fucking here for this

Schiavone just deleted this gem

Can we talk about that DOUKI entrance?

Wrestle Kingdom eve is always exciting. Not the greatest card this year, but an important one for establishing NJPW's future. Takagi/Takeshita is poised to steal the show... what match are you most looking forward to?

KENTA

Wrestle Kingdom and Dynasty are great and all, but I’m already looking ahead to Battle in the Valley…

Taichi should win the Ranbo & go on to face a retaining ZSJ for the title. The story writes itself: Big Time match. *You bring back Miho Abe, of course.

Kiyomiya finally loses his temper and sends OZAWA through the table with a brainbuster‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

What a year it’s been for the English contingent in NJPW. ZSJ had a career year, winning the G1 and the IWGP title to establish himself as the MAN of the present, while Gabe Kidd rose to the head of the pack of the new generation, arguably seizing the mantle of NJPW’s future.

Bryan Danielson may have missed out on competing in a G1, but at different points in time he’s had excellent matches with: Okada (’24), Tanahashi (’04), Shingo (’10), AJ Styles (’18), Ospreay (’24), Shibata (’24), Omega (’21), ZSJ (‘23/’24), Suzuki (’21), & KENTA (’06)… that’s a NJPW murderer’s row.

[WTL 12/6 Spoilers] Big news

Really enjoying ZSJ’s IWGP World Heavyweight Championship reign: it’s fresh and has already gifted us the best top title match in NJPW in years. Zack and Shingo have had plenty of terrific matches (especially NJ Cup ’22) but Power Struggle takes the cake.

Shelton Benjamin is one of the more solid & athletic in-ring workers of the last 20 years. From Team Angle, to his IC title run, to the World’s Greatest Tag Team in ROH, to Suzuki-gun in both NJPW & NOAH, to the Hurt Business during covid… what a run. He’s a boon to AEW and the Continental Classic.

Until the door is officially shut, the dream of 'Danielson v. Omega II' remains alive. Their first clash endures as perhaps the peak of AEW; heady times...

Team of the tourney thus far: former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions(!), Taichi & Taka. Taka Michinoku's turning back the clock...

Match confirmed for wrestle dynasty

With all due respect to the legendary Chris Jericho, he shouldn't be a world champion or on TV every week as this point in his career (being used more sparringly would be good for him and the company).

ZSJ on commentary wouldn't call them House of Toruture, instead referring to them as a "teepee of tw*ts" & a "caravan of c*nts" (had me dying)

Went back and watched this awesome match from last year's WTL: the surreal pairing of Nagata/Suzuki, Uemura fighting hard from underneath, great chemistry all around. Waiting on Uemura's return...

The Briscoe Brothers: one of the GOAT. Mixed it up with a who’s who of ROH (AJ, Joe, Aries, Strong, Danielson, McGuinness, Steen, Lethal), Japanese legends (Okada, Nakamura, Tana, KENTA, Marufuji) & the best teams of the era (KoW, WGTT, MCMG, YB, War Machine, reDRagon, GoD, OGK, KES, Roppongi Vice).

What a year it’s been for ZSJ. Winning the G1 was the pinnacle, but he’s had a spectacular run of great matches around the world against a diverse array of opponents.
