There's a reason why Nu Japanlets are the dumbest of the whole lot of wrestling fans.
Joshua Gomez
Still more Tokyo Sports best bouts than Soya Naicringe.
Lucas Taylor
The preview image makes him look like Scotty 2 Hotty
Isaiah Gomez
Best in the World it's still D-Bryan
Liam Clark
Naitofag seething
Jackson Williams
Pretty much never cuts the same promo twice, owned everybody from Omega to Naito on the stick. Some of the greatest matches ever. Infinite charisma. Pretty much never injured. Go watch some WWE Women's Main Events, this shit clearly isn't for you.
Julian Williams
Cringe
Ayden Martin
Scotty 2 Hotty vs Okada would unironically be a good match
Mason Fisher
>caring about promos in 2019
Jackson Davis
Tanahashi was right when he said that Okada should focus on his physique more. It's hard to take the doughboy seriously as the ace.
Easton Allen
The only correct opinion, Okada Is nu-shonen protagonist levels of cringe
Ethan Butler
His recent catchphrase where he speaks in that weird voice was inspired by a popular Japanese comedy apparently.
Nicholas Campbell
Literally carried a whole feud and the most memorable WM match by himself.
How is that not BITW ?
Justin Johnson
Mic work is one part of being a good worker. A person who goes out and has "great" matches but can't cut a promo isn't truly a good worker.
Eli Foster
He just got married, no chance of him getting ripped anytime soon.
Jaxson Gray
I don't watch WWE so I don't care He's not as good as Okada.
Michael Stewart
D.Bry carried a shitter to a 4 1/2*
Brody Garcia
Danielson might very well be the best wrestler in the world.
Unfortunately, we'll never get to see it, because even if his brain isn't scrambled eggs right now, he'll have safe, boring three star WWE matches for the rest of his career.
Wyatt Foster
Okada carried a shitter to 7* what's ya point
Adrian Powell
This is what a hebbyq champ should look like. Hit the weights.
He can cut a better promo and work a match that is just as good as any Okada "classic" with the limitations of WWEs agents, hes just better in any way
Mason Long
A four and a half in WWE is barely above a three in any other company, Meltzer inflates them to keep drones off his back
Jaxon Morris
>He can cut a better promo and work a match that is just as good as any Okada "classic" with the limitations of WWEs agents,
No he can't. Watched a few of his "standout" matches from the recent run. They were pretty sub-par. Would be completely forgettable on any decent NJPW card.
Anthony Bennett
If you talk about stars seriously...
There are boards more adequate for you
David Johnson
>This is what a hebbyq champ should look like he smol
Flippy shit bumping your neck to sawdust outlaw mudshow le Meltz loving faggots in this thread
Samuel Wood
if you want to watch a fight then go watch a real fighting sport you absolute RETARD
Josiah Bennett
He hasn't done anything to earn that match. His own fault.
Jacob Gutierrez
Nakamura has been putting zero effort in all of his matches for years and i dont want him near bryan
Jaxon Myers
>> No interview skills whatsoever; cuts the same promo in every town and does it poorly Even though I don't understand Japanese, you can clearly hear him get a crowd reaction. >> Can't have a decent match if it's under 30 minutes False, he has plenty of examples in the G1 >the best workers in the world can have a 4+ star match in under 10 minutes This is so subjective it hurts. Having snowflakes as your measuring stick doesn't help your case either. >> No in-ring charisma Well now I know you're lying >> Takes dangerous, unnecessary bumps instead of telling an actual story Holy shit, have you ever watched an Okada match? >> Hogged the IWGP title in a Triple H-like reign of terror It's not a reign of terror if he has the greatest reign in match quality ever >> Boring, generic moveset It's hardly generic. All of it tends to focus the upper body/neck to set his opponents up for the Rainmaker. >> Looks goofy as fuck and has no physique to speak of He does look goofy sometimes though. I always thought that was part of the charm.
If Sami can carry Nakamura to a decent match Bryan could do it with out breaking sweat... his brain might get bumped to sawdust though
Cameron Wood
He's certainly up there, but even when he was the American Dragon he wasn't consistent enough to really set the world on fire. Clearly, top 3 active though.
Lincoln Bennett
You really think he would half ass the entire reason he uprooted his family from Japan in the first place?
Easton Foster
He's gonna fuck his waifu-bait wife into a shredded core and there's nothing you can do about it.
Kevin Cox
Still too high for DBry not to get drowned out by those 2 good ones.
How many brownie points are you gonna give this guy before you simply admit his quality of work is lower and he is henceforth lower? I don't care about caveats A-Z. I care that he's not in Okada's league.
Robert Flores
Nakamura was still on NJPW mode when he faced Sami. Plus it was a debut and big match feel. Every match after that was dull af.
Okada would fail miserably in the WWE. Bryan would fit in fine in NJPW.
Nolan Nelson
>Taste this bad Jeribloat's matches in NJPW were terrible. He is the biggest reason I don't care about AEW
John Rogers
One 5* and two 4 3/4. Kys
Jace Fisher
I dont need to give him brownie points because he has proven to be fantastic in his indie career and can still show that talent in a place as limited as WWE, where he also can cut promos that outshine anything okada ever said in his life, Bryan in NJPW could potentially embarass Kenny, Okada and Ibushi while i struggle seeing Okada doing half as good in WWE even if we would take out the language barrier problem
Isaiah Ortiz
>conjecture
Of course Okada would fail in WWE. He's Asian and they'd book him as a pseudo comedic act just to assure NJPW couldn't have him. Meanwhile, NJPW would ACTUALLY use Bryan. >competent writers would write people competently >vindictive shitty writers would write someone improperly This has nothing to do with them as ACTUAL talents.
Robert Martinez
It's pretty clear to at least me anyway that they have naka just wrestling a routine. For most who care about wrestling that can kill slowly kill people's spirit. Everyone likes to just blame him, and sure he's getting old and is likely looking at retirement but in my opinion the wrestlers we like for a specific style can be so pigeonholed into a specific moveset that it can easily kill someones aura and creativity. Some guys aren't cut out for WWE but not necessarily for the reasons some like to think
John Price
>potentially >i struggle seeing But these things aren't reality, so you don't know. Also, refer to about the quality of writers involved being more important. The good point you brought up was Bryan's indie career. Pre-WWE peak Bryan was genuinely comparable to Okada. He's not now though.
Colton Cox
>would fail miserably in the WWE implying everyone doesn't?
>OKADA IS THE GREATEST FOREVER AND EVER, but he would totally fail in the big leagues. Bryan got shitty comedy booking too, still made it work and got over.
Owen Hall
>Bryan >AJ >Punk until 2014
Josiah Collins
I'm not the one using meltzer stars as a standard. Diaf
Nolan Campbell
Well, yeah Bryan didnt, and he goes against anything Vince McMahon cares for Fair, i really wasnt implying that Okada should in any way be rated by how a company books him, just that Bryan made It in an environment that penalizes him and yet managed to shine
Gabriel Bennett
> OP drew 55 posts in under an hour
based
David Jackson
>Meltzer is cage match public ratings
Dylan Campbell
Bryan failed for years until the sheer amount of fan backlash gave them no choice but to bump him to the main event.
Noah Fisher
>smarks aren't just following Meltzer's lead and buying into the hype
Look at the reaction to Disney movies these days. Fans od all kinds are too eager to buy into hype.
Justin Cooper
Nice changing the goal posts
Isaiah Carter
>Lacking this much reading comprehension
Try actually thinking for two seconds
Oliver Sanchez
this
Caleb Sanders
>No interview skills whatsoever; cuts the same promo in every town and does it poorly you Japanese? cuz if not there is no way you can know this even through a translation as the culture is so diff you would not get subtle things
Josiah Cruz
He's been putting on size since WK this year. He looks way better than he has in the last couple years.
Connor Foster
Only if your character demands it. Ishii never needs to touch a microphone and everyone agrees he's an amazing worker. Then you have someone like Enzo, who actually draws with mic skill alone but is hot garbage in the ring.
Okada's mic skills are perfect for his character. He has the fans eating out of his hand when he has the microphone. It's actually the thing that has improved the most for him in the last few years, there is a reason why he dropped Gedo.
>Takes dangerous, unnecessary bumps instead of telling an actual story Somebody saying Okada takes dangerous bumps or does flippy shit is how you immediately know they've never actually watched him lul
Easton Scott
Okada san bring back za pantsu
Justin Rogers
Abs r made in the kitchen user. If he lays off the rice then, yeah.
