The Natural Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Spoiler EVIL is the new NEVER Openweight Champion. EVIL and the House of Torture are the drizzling fucking shits. Can't stand them. Edited January 4, 2022 by The Natural 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) What do you think it's like to actually be EVIL? Do you think he ever goes to Gedo and says "man, they really aren't into the Dick Togo thing, I'm dying out there!"? Edited January 4, 2022 by John E.

Spoiler I'm trying to think of wrestlers/wrestling factions I can't stand more than EVIL/House of Torture. Fuck Hogan, JBL and Chris Benoit are the only three that come to my mind right now. Hell, I'd take Jinder Mahal over EVIL and the House of Torture. Amazes me that Gedo put the IWGP Heavyweight Championship/IWGP Intercontinental Championship on this fucking dork and persists on giving him belts, carrying on with this House of Torture bullshit. Poor Tomohiro Ishii deserves better. EVIL and Yujiro Takahashi fucking suck. Edited January 4, 2022 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horangi Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I'll say this about EVIL (many scotches in may I add) - I think he can be salvaged. Pre-heel EVIL was a good to great with the right opponent guy and I also think the lack of vocal crowds does hurt his act. But still, with the current state of things they need to do something. He needs to be a brutal bully, like Cobb, not a weasel heel. Yes Togo can get involved in big matches, but not EVERY match (I.e. he shouldn't have Togo interfering against YOSHI-HASHI). For me, it's just so frustrating to watch someone I really got behind 2 years ago go so bad and it seriously can easily be fixed but they don't. Spoiler I always lose my shit for white/gold attire big match Despy, so pumped for this one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 We've had short trunks Kazuchika Okada debut at Wrestle Kingdom 6 for excursion in 2012, pants Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 12 and small trunks at Wrestle Kingdom 14. Long tights or shorts perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammo~! Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) My vote is for the Zack Ryder one pant leg look, or Rainmaker colored Jorts Edited January 4, 2022 by Sammo~! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 C'mon Kazuchika Okada. Best wrestler in New Japan Pro-Wrestling followed by Hiroshi Tanahashi, Tetsuya Naito and Shingo Takagi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Said it before but need to again, I fucking hate everything about the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. It's ghastly. Edited January 4, 2022 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt925 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 So it looks like Shibata is fully cleared to wrestle then. They were hyping up what happens at all the upcoming shows, wk17, 18, 19. He’s back. Also new japan is back on cable tv in the USA, back on axs. Thursday at 10pm isn’t ideal, but at least they have a presence again.

The Natural Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Way Kazuchika Okada is favouring that left eye after the Pumping Bomber, wouldn't surprise me if his orbital bone is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horangi Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Spoiler Damn what a match, takes a lot to make a silent Tokyo Dome crowd seem loud, but Okada & Takagi achieved it. What a war! Really enjoyed the junior title match too, but if you were expecting a 30 minute epic then you'll be disappointed. It was fast and creative, and am interested to see where Hiromu goes from here as I had him down as winning the breaking Minoru Tanaka's record. The show was well paced and nothing dragged besides the horrid EVIL mess, but really was q 2 match show (emotional Shibata return and hot main) Ospreay at the end though...ugh Edited January 4, 2022 by Horangi Post match promo addition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show didn't feel like a Wrestle Kingdom with the exception of that and Katsuyori Shibata's return.

lostinube Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Ospreay deserves to lose tomorrow on the basis of his hair alone. Horrible horrible horrible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) Spoiler The new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, Kazuchika Okada. Right guy won. I'll be beyond pissed if Okada drops it to Will Ospreay tomorrow. Edited January 5, 2022 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Spoiler Twice the shitty IWGP World Heavyweight Championship has fallen off Kazuchika Okada's waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horangi Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Spoiler Okada win tomorrow makes the most sense as he has the most potential matches (plus I don't think Ospreay is hanging around in Japan when he has 3 other championships). At the very least Okada has Cobb and Ibushi (can play the 'he never truly beat me' card) as well as Takagi rematch as possible immediate title matches 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Funny I just turned on the app because all this old Nitro makes me want to watch mid-90’s New Japan, and totally forgot this was happening. I’ve only caught the celebration, but the finish wasn’t in doubt before I clicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
