Also if Kojima wins the GHC HW, he joins Mutoh as the only men who ever won the Triple Crown and the IWGP HW plus the NWA World's HW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, Kojima still rules when he's given a chance. He just doesn't get many because New Japan have firmly relegated to "dad" status. Kojima is definitely more of the Mochizuki & Sugiura 50+ year olds in NOAH than Fujita & Mutoh in that he's still more than capable of a great singles match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) I actually like Kojima, but, like you said, NJ has out him in the Old Man category, which is below the main event dudes and even the secondary guys like Ishii, SANADA, etc. He seems like such an obvious job guy. It’s like if AJ sent Omori to challenge for a top singles title. Edited May 5, 2022 by Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I'm ok with it due to the history Kojima could make by winning it. The politics of it aside, he always shows up when he gets a big match. He had a wild No DQ with Ospreay last year and a great NJ Cup match vs Jeff Cobb, where he truly made me think he just might pull off an upset.

Kang Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Satoshi Kojima will wrestle regularly for NOAH, he is on loan. Ninja Mack signed exclusive Japan deal with NOAH. Masa and Michael Elgin want the tags. King Tani disbanded his tag with Yone and rebooted himself as Taniguchi.

Kang Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) The current NOAH roster https://www.noah.co.jp/profile/ I'm not sure if they use freelance contracts, there has been other different kinds of contracts in Japan before. Even Gaijin contracts or dual and short term contracts. Edited May 5, 2022 by Blue Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remain to be convinced that this is an upgrade, Kashin seems to have exactly the same flaws as NOSAWA, in that he sees the job as a chance to get his boys paid. I don't even mind if NOSAWA was bringing his bus really, so long as they were in the midcard. The problem was when they started beating the NOAH guys like Kaito, Kenoh, Katsuhiko & making them look like punks. All I really want is to not care who the booker is. Stop mortgaging the future for 2 decades ago. The booking of Kaito Kiyomiya was criminal. They are doing nothing with Kinya Okada & Yoshiki Inamura.

The booking of Kaito Kiyomiya was criminal. They are doing nothing with Kinya Okada & Yoshiki Inamura. That's the disappointing part of Noah. Okada couldn't even get a spot in the N-1 last year. Keep wanting Okada, Yano or Inamura to take that next step. Poor booking since their Budokan show with Muto vs Go last year. Reading the translated comments about Nakajima vs Fujita on YouTube the actual fans didn't seem displeased by Fujita winning. I saw a few saying Nakajima needs to bulk up (?). There's always a seesaw effect when trying to please Japanese fans and western fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big chunk of the people that post on my channel are Japanese and I get a kick out of the tenor of the google translated comments sometimes. I've had a bunch of comments on Kobayashi/Honaga vs Takada/Yamazaki from 88 and they're all stuff like "Yamazaki is thin. Do the same for Hashimoto" Or "Yasunaga's drop kick from 9:03 is the best!" Or "Hoei's neck consolidation at the end is wonderful" Or "Yasunaga immediately kicks Yamazaki who came to the cut with a drop kick. That's excellent. Kobayashi and Yasunaga are all-round" Or "Mr. Yasunaga has a nice taste. It's astringent! ️" You get the idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kang Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 (edited) Japanese twitter is mostly positive or civilized. But most Japanese stil use blogs to this day. Blogs died out over in the west. When i had my videos, they had interesting positive comments. Edited May 6, 2022 by Blue Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
