I heard Brits wrestling fans or US wrestling fans like this guy.

US fan here. He is the fucking man.

Brit fan here. Who is that?

Not for long, m8

Western fans love him because he's meant to be a throwback and stiffs people and takes ridiculous liberties in all his matches so they think that makes it cool, legit Strong Style for Smart Wrestling Fans
Yes I do like him

>>2335681
You god damn right I like The Wrestler.

>>2335761
based zack

>>2335681
He's there because he ruined his career in Japan.

>>2335681
damn 2k17 has some nice graphic though that is one plain ass CAW, OP

Reminder that Shibata can't fight for shit and compensates for his inability by stiffing people in fake bouts.

his mma fights were fucking pathetic. i think his overall career highlight was hitting a belly to back suplex on minowa but knowing minowa he probably let him do it

>>2335775
>takes ridiculous liberties

Imagine actually believing Shibata could get away with that in NJPW.

>>2335681
I don't know who he is but he looks kinda cool

Literally a less successful CM Punk
>Started out doing pro wrestling
>Left NJPW to do MMA
>Was terrible at MMA
>Went back to NJPW after getting embarrassed in MMA

The corner dropkick he gave to Nakajima in their G1 match was just pure mean-spiritedness

>>2336170
At least he had a few victories in MMA and managed to bounce back in pro-wrestling.

>>2336148
Why wouldn't he? He's very popular and his matches are an attraction because of the style he works. He makes them money with it so why wouldn't get away with it? We're not talking just-returned traitor Shibata here

>>2336194
>actually believing this

Nakajima would murder Shibata in a shoot if he felt slighted.

Quit working yourself.

>>2336215
I don't think the guy working for a company that was living or dying by NJPW's goodwill would shoot on one of NJPW's stars but that's just me

>>2336213
Because there are plenty of guys who would immediately kill him if he started any shit.

>>2336231
But a guy notorious for his poor shootfighting record would shoot on somebody with a much better one?

>>2336236
Now who's getting worked? Being a stiff little asshole won't get you shit in the way of repercussions, otherwise Fujita Hayato would have been dead long ago and Tenryu's career would have been a lot shorter

>>2336239
Taking liberties doesn't mean shooting on someone
