Don't even know wtf he's saying and he's still fucking cool
>Naito is winning the G1
pls Gedo
pls
So, for no real reason I just went on the New Japan World site and watched a free match, Naito vs. Goto from last March. Didn't really know anything about it or who Goto is or what the context is, but I know Naito's apparently really good, so I figured I'd watch it.
30 minutes later, I kinda fucking love Goto and I'm really close to buying New Japan World to see more of him.

>He's loves Goto
Prepare to be let down a lot
>>2404653
>>2404661
At least he was Intercontinental Champion and now is the Never Openweight Champion
>>2404661
Yeah they were saying he chokes a lot, I guess that's his gimmick, that he never wins the big one?
>>2404668
He should have won the belt years and years ago, really. And yeah, it's a running gag that he chokes in all of his big matches. I think it's far too late fot a IWGP title run now, sadly.
If Naito wins the G1 and defeats Okada for the IWGP Heavyweight Title at WK12 then maybe Goto could win the belt (at least for 2 months or something like that)
>>2404664
>Never Openweight Champion
>>2404673
>Shibata isn't beating Okada.
People literally said this about Naito at Invasion Attack last year.
>>2404680
There is no way Okada drops the belt before his rematch with Omega.
>>2404676
What? The Never Openweight Championship was held by Ishii and Shibata, you cant give the Intercontinental or Heavyweight Title to Goto so the Never Openweight helps to keep him relevant
>>2404680
No they didn't. Everybody knew it was Naito's night...o.

I doubt it's a "best" but I thought his match against Dalton Castle at last year's ROH Anniversary Show was super-fun.
Speaking of Marufuji, I forgot how good that dude was till his matches with Okada.
Minoru Suzuki should have won the IWGP Heavyweight Title at The New Begining In Sapporo
>>2404903
>expecting MiSu to ever win the big one
>>2404903
Nah. He was filler. As much as I like Suzuki, after the horrendous Suzuki-gun NOAH run that pretty much killed what was left of them, I can see why Gedo didn't put the belt on him.
And honestly, right now their biggest match in the deck is Omega/Okada II. Keeping the belt on Okada till then is the correct decision imo
>>2404911
>after the horrendous Suzuki-gun NOAH run that pretty much killed what was left of them
please explain
>>2404914
NOAH fans were holding onto the "old" NOAH at the time. The company was already in dire straights before. Once they came in and started doing the hokey shit (interference, dirty wins etc) those fans started to leave too.

I know, I know. LolVOW, but this article is legit.
>>2404911
Omega in the main event was a flop and all the Meltzer snowflakes in the world cant make up for drawing zero dimes
He'll be sent back to the juniors where he belongs and the only world title he'll ever hold will be a fourth rate one like the ROH title
>>2404947
>Omega in the main event was a flop and all the Meltzer snowflakes in the world cant make up for drawing zero dimes
kek I'm not even gonna pretend you have a source for this
>sent back to the juniors
>was in the New Japan Cup
>>2404658
If Shibata wins the belt he's dropping it to Omega for the US shows in the G1, then Okada will get it back after the G1 or win the G1 himself.
Of course, Omega could just get a run with IC title this year while Naito finally gets his fucking main event against Okada after all these fucking years of bullshit.
>>2404686
There is no way they don't sit on that match till later in this year.
>>2404725
Marufuji is legit one of the best aces around when it comes to wrestling. He's fucking incredible and severally underrated.
>>2404966
Omega had an IC run last year
>>2404971
So? That never stopped Nakamura.
>>2404976
Just seems regressive for him but on the other hand I can't think of who should carry the IC Title once Naito drops it.
>>2404983
Ishii or Suzuki
>>2405006
MiSu is a better fit for the NEVER Title
Ishii should be getting the IWGP Heavyweight title ;_;
who?
>>2405009
I would love Evil as the IC Champion but you know... he cant take the title from Naito
We still have Tomohiro Ishii, Minoru Suzuki, Michael Elgin, Adam Cole, Jay Lethal or Bad Luck Fale (Please god no)
>>2405014
I still want EVIL to get a proper reign with the NEVER Openweight.
Cole is going to NXT.
