Kang Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) https://number.bunshun.jp/articles/-/851802 Muto used to walk crab style up and down the stairs. Now he can walk fowardly on the stairs again. He said his wrestling style is subtraction wrestling, so not doing many big things. I think Kaito is probably doing this now in his own way, he doesn't seem to have many throws or bombs in his moveset. Muta vs Inoki is an example of "Subtraction Wrestling" and old school wrestling to Mr.Muto. Edited January 31, 2022 by Blue Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kang Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) Abby Jr wants the Triple Crown and to become Mr Budokan of Reiwa Era. By main eventing both the BJW Yokohama Budokan show (May the 5th) and the AJPW Budokan show with his Triple Crown. Maybe defend the title against Suwama at the BJW show.

Evil Otto Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 9 hours ago, Blue Dragon said: Hmmm, they obviously think very highly of Ryuki Honda, he's prominently displayed here. I've liked what I've seen so far as well. So I guess Andy Wu's more or less back in the fold. Although I realize that plans have been altered under difficult circumstances (i.e. recent struggles, plus the past two years of you know what), I have to honestly say that I'm happy that Miyahara has the triple crown right now for All Japan's 50th year. It just seems right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With others listed below. It is being broadcast on CS Asahi 2 channel. I watched the first week. Fujinami chose 60 minute draw with Inoki, Tanahashi chose G-1 final against Nakamura, the Nakayama guy (who is he?) chose Inoki winning 3 pinfalls in a handicap match against Rusher Kimura, Animal Hamaguchi, and a wrestler that I did not recognize. The show made me remember how much I liked Nakamura (and how big Inoki's ego is). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Kota Ibushi's pick is supposed to be the biggest deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
