WHAT A BEAUTY

WWE IS FUCKING FINISHED

>>2644166
that's a good looking belt

That's a big belt.

It would look better if the strap was black, red straps will always be fucking hideous. I hated when WWE bastardized the Big Gold with one. Well, the back of it anyways.

i dont like the red but at least there isn't a picture of a hamburger on it. and can we get some fucking chains on it?

Is there gonna be a live tv show in the US yet? The AXS show is good but not many people have that channel. and whats gonna happen when Okada or Tanahashi become the face of America?

It will flop, not soon, but it will after the curiosity dies out.

Also having an american IWGP belt kills the prestige of the Heavyweight tittle since it will be traded between almost all the WWE rejects

>>2644262
I would drop some dimes for the commentary alone.

The change of pace in the ring would be refreshing as well.

>>2644311
wasn't he a tna jobber?

>>2644314
This. It's pretty much the NJPW version of the WWE UK Belt.

>>2644319
yeah and it led to new japan and tna cutting ties

>>2644319
When he was a rookie and TNA was ran by the same morons who ruined WCW, yeah. Now he's better than anyone on TNAs roster.

>>2644319
Yeah that was for excursion training same deal with Tanahashi.

>>2644314
Nah New Japan needs a new midcard belt

Having established guys like Suzuki and Shibata and Goto hold the young boy belt needs to end so they can use it to build new guys and/or graduate junior heavyweights to the heavyweight division

>>2644323
>>2644324
Stop acting like Okada was a star during his TNA run. He was generic Japanese guy who couldn't speak any English. You can search the entire Internet, no one was demanding Okada be given more TV time.

that belt looks like an /asp/ kid made it in arts & crafts

>>2644193

Ryback

Cody Rhodes will be the face of the US expansion.

>>2644360
it's just amusing that tna had okada and the young bucks as jobbers and they are now two of the biggest acts in wrestling

>>2644360
I said he was a fucking rookie, obviously that indicates he wasn't due for some massive push. TNA knew he was being groomed to be NJ's guy meaning he should've been protected a little bit and they still made him a complete geek.

I don't know what fans wanting for him has to do with how it was foolish to book him that way.

Honestly this might be something that WWE needs to get out of this slump they are having. Having competition like New Japan coming to the United States and doing shows here could force WWE to finally wake the fuck up, stop being incompetent shits, and start getting good. Big Tunes Billy's NWA is starting to get people excited as well since he could revive the prestige of the organization and interest as the end all be all promotion.

>>2644215
It is a better red than the Universal Championship.

If they can't get at least a decent TV deal in the US than they are pretty much dead here.

>>2644434
They have AXS TV for the US but they don't have it for basic cable got to pay for it. Canada at least gets the fight network

>>2644166
the second it touches cody it is buried eternally

>>2644382
TNA also had Yujrio & Naito lose a handicap match to Kevin Nash.

>>2644372
Of course they're going to focus on Cody instead of Kenny since more people in the US know about him since he worked for WWE

>>2644518
I think so. The Japanese audience doesn't seem to care for him. But NJPW would be overvaluing Cody who is a midcard act.

>>2644582
>The Japanese audience doesn't seem to care for him.
they sure don't. his match vs Finlay was absolute crickets.

>>2644166
That belt looks huge, but also pretty nice.

American here. Rather him than Cody. Jesus Christ Cody is almost definitely getting that belt isn't he. Save us based Juice.

Is there anywhere I can watch new Japan in Australia? Preferably with English commentary.

>>2644262
Big Money Vince will literally just buy out the entire ROH roster and that will be it for the US expansion. They already initiated Orderd 66 on British wrestling. Haitch will bury the outlaw shitters like Vince did with territories.

instead we get...Cody. It was the right move for AJ, though desu. But we the fans lost.

>>2644166
I don't like it much. I'm a fan of most IWGP belts and I think the main one is the best looking belt in the world, but this one's fucking ugly.

NJPW are small-time relatively. Unless this thing REALLY picks up steam (which it won't, it's a bad move), it won't make his radar.

the eagle has been generally used as a symbol of power. the combination of using it with a globe is a symbol of supremacy.

It would be a surprise if it isn't Michael Elgin.

Naito

>>2645984
im new to NJPW. is his gimmick Eugene nippon?

>>2645989
He's the leader of Los Ingobernables de Japon, the Jap branch of the Mexican stable Los Ingobernables meaning The Ungovernables. They are one of the top heel groups and really gave Naito a boost in the arm in terms of character when he brought the faction to New Japan. As with any heel who doesn't give a fuck and does whatever he wants, Naito has since become extremely over with the fans with antics such as tossing a championship belt around like a toy.

Not really. You can't even see most of the crap on the belts.

I consider it a win for me because now I can get a weekly dose of AJ for a few years.

I think real competition is something WWE needs to get their heads out of their asses with this shit they have been producing lately.

If WWE and NJPW ever did a crossover show and had both of their United States titles on the line, would the winner be called the Undisputed United States Champion?

>>2647450
It's a play on words taken from the film/novel Stepford Wives.

Stepford Wives basically are robots that were created by men that programmed them to accept/do anything their creators tell them to, even if it's derogatory.

WWE HQ and base of operations is located in Stamford, Connecticut.

Thus the term Stamford Wives is derived from, it's commonly used by smarks that dislike WWE, but love NJPW, Lucha Underground, ROH etc.
