the winner wins on a roll up

I want Ospreay to fuck my ass

Tana Vs Kenta is going to be awful.

>lance archer is top of A block
lmao state of A block

Okadas outfit is pure dimes.
This was the match I am the most hyped for. No offense to tana but I am not happy he will put over SHITTER

Thoughts on Okada's waistcloth?

this

what is zack sabre jr specialty. always mistaken him with ospreay for some reason

As in his style or finisher?

HE IS SUBMISSION MASTER
HE IS ZACK SABER JR
JUST TAP OUT

>what is zack sabre jr specialty.
Running through 100 submission holds too quickly

Have you really been watching. I understand that all gaijins look the same, but their styles are completely different.

>Am NJPW novice this will be my first g1
>Started watching last year.
Fucking technical wizard. He can reverse every hold and he knows a retarded amount of submissions. He relies on his technique and knowledge to win matches as opposed to strength. ZSJ is an asshole that will make you look like a bitch for tapping. I think I got it right

What not enough sitting for 10 minutes in a choke in the middle of the ring while reaching for the ropes for ya?

Correct

based

Kazu-chan, uwu

Didn't know you watched New Japan Vince, based

i SWEAR okada just said "Oi fag"

>heel puts the other guy in a slow boring headlock for several minutes
>crowd start to boo because they're so bored
>"heh, yeah, i'm quite the heel"

JUST
TAP
OUT

ZSJ is such a turd. Slow as fuck, opponent always has to wait for him to get into position to get his meme submissions on, and some of them are really stupid as if he was strong instead of skinny as fuck. He also does the same thing every match where he starts trading blows or taunts the opponent while he's down with those arrogant kicks. You'd think his character has learned in all these years considering he hasn't won any major titles in NJPW.

I really want ZSJ to not only win but to make Okada tap. Its almost been 4 years

Yeah, ZSJ switching immediately to another hold without letting the crowd heat up is so much better

I can see it happening, or at least ref stoppage.

A+ selling from ZSJ

I've just woke up lads, so I missed the start. Did I miss anything good tonight?

Is this the main event of the night? You'll have to excuse me if I'm using the wrong terms, I've never watched the G1 before

English commentary nailed it on the head. ZSJ ego and arrogance is his biggest detriment.

that looked like he was dropped on his neck

>Slow as fuck, opponent always has to wait for him to get into position to get his meme submissions on
>Running through 100 submission holds too quickly

So who doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about cause my bet's on both

go back and watch Ospreay vs Sanada

Do you think the other wrestlers like wrestling ZSJ?

On one hand, he always makes his opponents look like dogshit and weak as fuck. But on the other, wrestling him is pretty much a break from having to take any major bumps.

Read the OP for what you missed.
Currently in the 3rd tournament match. Have two more

>English commentary
Cringe. And as much as you fags like to throw around "storytelling" every time, there's no character development with this faggot. He wrestles the same match every time, and it requires his opponent to look like an idiot.

Man, I fuckin love Sanada. I'm still very new to NJPW (as I find it very hard to find places to watch it) but I think Sanada has the best look in current NJPW.

missed the tag match and 2 main event matches which are:
Archer vs Fale
Ospreay vs SANADA

Both are good compared to the AEW matches earlier

okadawinslol

Damn it Zack now you have to win the whole thing.

god forbid the heavyweight champion win!

Are you retarded? How does one invalidate the other? Moron.

its always on taima or Watch wrestling or pay the 10 bucks

Fuck the British Indy flip shitter

zacky 0 points

I fucking hate rainmaker

So, Ospreay vs Okada for Royal Quest?

LAME.
I enjoy okada but I fucking hate the rainmaker as his constant finisher. Good match wanted ZSJ to win but I knew that was a pipe dream

Yeah I'm on the Taima now. I think the prob is, because I'm in the UK, it's very hard to watch live because of when it's on.

Fuck man setting Zack back
considering he finished tied for first last year in his block im alitte worried about him

Shame, ZSJ against Okada at Royal Quest would have been good.

how the fuck did okada consistently break up the pin at 2.90

thank god, fuck zsj

another good match :)

REV PRO BTFO!

Make me wonder how tf is ZSJ going to use his style of wrestling against Fale. It's going to be awkward.

Is losing your opening two matches evil?

big dimes EVIL

Sounds like someones worked

They already had a match, dumbass. It sucked, shocker.

ZSJ should lose since he doesn't know how to take a big man down

>ZSJ is slow and takes a long time to set up submissions but he goes through submissions too quickly
Absolutely based and retardpilled retard
Cry harder faggot

It's Golden Star time!

Damn. Bringing out the big guns already.

Attached: 1381074777764.png (410x504, 332K)

That girl was so happy to see Kota

Zack' movements are slow and badly worked when starting a submission and the opponent has to wait for him. Zack then changes submission needlessly early(which was referred to by quickly), but his movement is still slow and unrealistic with his twink body. In short, he is the flippy shit of submissions

aren't we all

>washed up Kenta vs geriatic washed up Tana

Negative 5* incoming

Attached: 7712646251.jpg (497x444, 22K)

Literally me rn

>this amount of um actually i meant
Cool so neither of you know what you're talking about, got it.

Wow, I swear I just watched this exact match yesterday

First sentence not entirely true. Everything else is spot on the money but I like ZSJ despite this. My complaint is I want the dude to slow down and let a hold breathe for more than 3 seconds.
>Ibushis entire g1 is going to be his opponents attacking the ankle.
Side note. How retarded do you have to be in kayfabe to highlight an injury that no one would see due to your ring gear. Ibushi literally instagrammed(idk where he posted it) a giant target on his injury.
Also
>Is the injury a work accomplished with good makeup

He's just explaining things to your retard ass because you're too stupid to understand on your own. Nobody's fault but your own that you need someone to explain everything to you as if you were a single digit iq mongoloid.

There's that harder crying we talked about

Whomst killed the crowd?

...he typed through tears and snot. Your retard ass is the only one crying here.

>how retarded do you have to be
>you ask the man who hates books because they try to make him imagine things

Its a japanese crowd silly

Where are the storylines?

Cringe

>n-no y-you :(
Holy shit seething

Boy has the hype about G1 died fast didnt it

Attached: 1538423458478.jpg (487x496, 102K)

Ibushi and Evil don't really have any history.

both guys want the points to win their block. they both cant get them, so theyre going to need to figure it out between themselves inside the ring

well Kenta vs Tana is ace of NJPW vs ace of Noah
Zack and Okada hate each other and were taking shots at each other at the press conference

>no u
>no u
>OMFG STOP STEALING MY GIMMICK!
worked

We never get past the first thread for non Us/WK and dominon shows
So no

>ace of Noah
lmao maybe in his dreams

These germans. Kota awakened.

This match is boring as fuck.

I know its Ibushi but god damn his stupidity continues to amaze me.

it has been the weakest of the night yeah
im still enjoying it tho

>this complete autistic meltdown
Guess I shouldn't expect much from brainlets getting filtered by based ZSJ

>that moment when Kota snaps

The fucking meltdown and goalpost moving if KENTA vs Tana will be the MOTN

Attached: 2838523985.jpg (602x800, 69K)

Dude, stop crying.

Is kota boys ankle really hurt?

*WHEN

Tana can still do a good match, but Kenta looked awful against Ibushi. It's hard to believe some pudgy depressed looking guy can kick so hard.

>Dude, stop crying.

Attached: STB1006696-preview-logo-watermarked.jpg (800x533, 63K)

Kota is on a diet of TRT and HGH as show by his body, he can't feel pain anyway

Ibushi is a great worker and everything but I just find it hard to root for him. He's probably got the best late kick outs in wrestling though.

Just like how Kenta vs Kota was, right? MOTN is going to be Sanadetty vs Assplay. Kenta vs Tanahashi will rival Evil vs Kota in badness.

Ibushis got fucked up ankles and put a target on them for his whole block to see. The injury happened in his first match of the g1 which was a loss. The odds are not in Ibushis favor because of this he needs to win most if not every match to win his block. With every opponent going after his ankles which wont have time to heal. And evil, well everything is evil

PURE STRIKES

>I s-sure showed h-h-him!

Good submission, Evil, good submission lmao

>tfw this is the first match Ive paid no attention to and have shitposted entirely.
If Ibushi wasnt injured I might have paid attention, but honestly while I like EVILS look and entrance he ultimately does nothing for me in the ring from the limited matches I have seen

>put a target on them
what if he mirrowed the thing, his true injury is in the other ankle! genius kota

THIS IS EVIL

You're getting real boring so I'mma leave you alone and you can pretend you won this internet slapfight. Retard crybaby.

homo BTFO

that was match was eh but Yo that finishing stretch was fucking incredible

EVERYTHING IS EVIL

damn who the hell predicted Ibushi to go 0-2

Holy fuck, EVIL won!
I feel you, it always happens to me on the semi main in a G1, it's too much wrestling and that match suffers for it.

EVERYTHING

IS

EEEEEEEVIL

Everytime I watch NJPW, I make an audible "ooooh" noise at how stiff some of these moves look.

A very refreshing change from American wrestling

cringe

same

based

I am not going to give you any (You)s but can you faggots please stop your childish bickering. I dont even care about your opinions and whos got the better/right one. I do know you are acting like literal children and this kind of low by the numbers trolling that children do is too low for Yea Forums standards. I think the saddest part is you faggots have been deduced to stutter posting and I am rubber you are glue over Zack Sabre Jr. Go fucj yourselves Shibata is based but
GO ACE

It's usually the headbutts

Did you copy and paste this from reddit?

It's really pathetic how hard they're using Shibata to get KENTA over.

Oh fuck shibata has to pick between 2 of his best friends

My "going 0-2 is evil" joke is ruined. Fuck sake.

*reduced. Fucking fingers

Why the fuck are the NJPW shows so fucking weird with their times, i am pretty the show yesterday was later than this

Anyone respected by Shibata is good by me. My only exposure to KENTA is those 14 minutes in the E before he got perma-injured

Give the ACE your energy bros. I have a feeling he was asked to put over hideo, and ACE carries the weight of NJPW on his shoulders he will do what is asked of him.

baced ace punching that shitter in the dick

Kek

kenta should in the junior division

There's a little girl in that crowd who's BUZZING to see Tana

KENTA looks like he gets no sleep and hasnt had even a hug in 5 years

He should unironically retire.

he could do the never title stuff.

You think he speaks good enough English to post here?

they are paying him2 much and will never see a return if they do that

GO ACE!
*clap* *clap*
GO ACE!

Are these niggas actually trying to put over KENTA in America? Nope nevermind said it was a disappointment

He can't GTS himself properly at bedtime anymore

Fuck yea Rocky, I would much rather be watching suzuki

I am not watching this match right now. Is it as shit as i think it is?

Its serviceable

kenta needs some kind of character
he should start doing the spinaroonie imo

Kenta makes some real funny faces.

Japanese age in dog years though

Based Randy influencing these gooks

Kentaroonie is pretty catchy, good thinking.

These are nips, not gooks

Fucking kek

Mother fucking
GO ACE

why are they stealing finn balor's moves?

good bait

Job out kenta please tana. Dont lose. I will still love you if you lose but please Tanahashi-san dont lose

KENTA

HOLY FUCK

FUCK THIS FUCKING SHITTER

Can't believe they're burying all their guys for this shitter.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
FUCK TANASHIT
RETIRE YOU BORING FAGGOT

This post didn't age well

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

KENTA you motherfucker. I liked that.

NO ACE

nooooooooo

OH NO NO NO

APOLOGISE

That was a good fucking match

That was worse than a Phil GTS

Well at least he hit the GTS properly this time...

BASED TANA ACTUALLY HITTING THE GTS FOR KENTA

HUMBLE ACE DAD DOING WHATS GOOD FOR BUSINESS. WHAT A PROFESSIONAL.

He didn't win the match, but he has always winned my heart

I am one of these hivemind brother I share your frustration. He deserves none of this shit. He is going to get injured again just wait and then all of this will be for nothing. Based ACE not giving KENTA any respect.

Apologize.

based ace never a fan of the handshake after the match psychology also.

kek tanahashi big leaguing this simp

Ibushi couldn't have a good match with KENTA, what a complete and utter shitter. The ACE just showed him how it's done.

Chris Charlton sounds so defeated
I wonder if someone higher up laid into him or if he just let social memeia get to him like a fag

probably the latter
dude's a fucking fairy

HIDEO ITAMI PREPARING TO TAKE FLIGHT

What did that fan yell?

It was better but not by much. Tanahashi is much better than either KENTA or Ibushi so he carried this simp to an okay match.

So what matches were worth watching from this show?

Attached: 214142142.jpg (1200x1200, 230K)

there weren't any

The last 4 matches

Nothing was painfull
Kota and Evil was the weakest
Fale and Lance was just fine
other 3 were great

All of the g1 matches were worth watching. Avoid Fale Archer unless you love hoss fights. Kenta v Tana was the standout for me

Sanada/Osprey was nice. Rest sucked.

based easily pleased edgelord

Only 2 more shows till we get comfy Korakuen Hall shows

SANADA/Ospreay and KENTA/Tanahashi are the ones I would put up as essential. And then Archer/Fale for that big hoss shit.

Honestly maybe KENTA really is only rusty and not washed up, this match was much better, if he continues "improving" it will be based

Korakuen Hall... home.

This
That faggot always makes me fall asleep

Kenta v Tana was really good

It was the same stupid KENTA dominating match and his kicks looked like ass. Tanahashi's selling is what made this match any decent, really. Just because he didn't both his damn finisher isn't enough for me to sing his praise.

>SEETHING that his favorite lost
Perfect build match. Crowd was always on the bring of going mental for Tanahashi but KENTA, being the heel, kept cutting Tana's comeback off and build more heat for himself. wrestling 101.

LAUGH AT HIM
