Lunchbox Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Naito did it, i really can't believe it. Even hit the Stardust press. That said, KENTA is a *censored*ing deadman. Man i had tears at the final pin. His speech ruled, Okada throwing up the fist as he left ruled. What a *censored*ing match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Nova Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 KENTA holding the IWGP Title just looks so right. What a visual. Amazing how hes seemingly now pegged to be in New Japans top feud going forward yet WWE wasted him in NXT and 205 Live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) So...I have a theory about AEW after night 2. Obviously Tanahashi lost and doesn't get his title shot. But the AEW title was still seen on the show and got free publicity. I think that everything that happened with the US title was done so that the US belt could be seen on AEW, and then Suzuki could win it off Moxley on an AEW show. Kinda like a trade. Could be wrong though. Edited January 5, 2020 by Generations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Jericho was pleading for both companies to work together in this post match presser. Really don't think Omega and the Bucks understand why NJPW is mad at them. Like NJPW put full pushes behind them for them to up and leave and for a few months things were out of wack.

Generations Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Right...that's kinda why I think this could be a show of good faith kind of thing...like AEW letting NJPW beat them on their own show. Jericho gets a non title win against Tanahashi at WK. But then Suzuki could fight Mox on AEW and NJPW could look superior by winning the belt. Just sayin. Maybe a start towards working relations. Another thing about the Suzuki situation that I liked...he didn't attack Moxley. He came out with a full entrance, made his presence known, stood face to face with him, and then whooped him. I saw the NJPW facebook saying he attacked Mox. But...it was done really smart so Suzuki never looked cowardly. An attack is not really what I would call that. It was a challenge.

Lunchbox Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 God, Mox hearing Suzuki's music and getting all amped to fight him and then Suzuki coming out with a huge *censored*ing smile. They are gonna make magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Really not a fan of KENTA being top challenger. Dude still has this air of mediocrity about him, IMO...like, he's better in NJPW than he was during his time in NXT when he clearly stopped giving a shit...but his current work is still not on a level anywhere near his peak. He just kinda seems entitled to be given praise for being KENTA alone. Which is not really a train ride that I'm getting on board with... He hasn't given me any real reason in years to be a fan.

PaperThinWalls Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I thought his match against Goto was quite good. His heel work is also very solid, if not top level. I think he makes for a great first challenger who Naito can get a nice decisive win over but still be a decent challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niffan Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hes a great New Beginning challenger and a good notch in Naitos belt before Okada becomes champion at Dominion again. Theres no way he wont be champion when he carries the Olympic Torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Saint Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Why do people still worry about Meltzer and his ratings? It's just his opinion on a match. It doesn't tarnish it in any way, shape or form. Regardless, it was a good match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
