greatest heavyweight division.png
1MB, 959x621px
After watching Paul Heyman's promo today in which he called Strowman, Roman and Samoa Joe the most stacked heavyweight division in WWE history, it really made me think, it got my noggin' joggin'. In terms of pure in-ring talent, charisma, ring psychology, presence and pedigrees, these guys are fucking stacked and blow many, if not all of WWE's heavyweight divisions out of the water. Most of these men need little introduction. Many former IWGP Heavyweight champions like Tetsuya Naito, Hiroshi Tanahashi as well as up and comers who will soon be champions like Sanada, Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega, or Kazuchika Okada, current IWGP heavyweight champion and greatest wrestler in the world (2nd being Kenny Omega who is also in this division) whose title reign is unstoppable. Even those who haven't tasted heavyweight gold like Hirooki Goto and Minoru Suzuki have unbelievably decorated careers, Suzuki, one of the founding fathers of MMA, carrying a dangerous aura to him comparable only to Brock Lesnar, Hirooki Goto who has captured many midcard titles as well as the G1 Climax and the New Japan cup, will eventually "win the big one" and finally capture the IWGP Heavyweight Championship that he deserves. You can put any of these 2 gentlemen together, and have an excellent, excellent match. This talented lineup consists of Japanese wrestling's past, present and future and I challenge anybody here to name a better heavyweight division. Nobody even comes close to these 8. We would obviously add Katsuyori Shibata had he not been a retard and fucked himself to make this already deadly line-up even scarier. Anyway, what do you think, /asp/?

WWE is still trying to convince their sheep fans they have a better roster kek

Not reading that wall of text. And I don't recognize half those people and I watch a lot of NJPW.

Hey, faggot, what's there to respond to? This is OUR roster NOW. That is your roster 18 years ago. The burden is on you to convince everyone here that your company isn't fucking dying when a "7 foot tall" CAW is set to receive an enormous singles push because of his size. No one, NO ONE thinks like this nowadays with the exception of the guy in charge of the WWE. Yes, the gap is wide, like your mom's pussy after us NJPWchads ran a train on her. NJPW is RAPIDLY and ALARMINGLY closing the distance, getting a few executives in WWE a bit concerned while WWE has been floundering hard. NJPW is catching up and catching up FAST and WWE doesn't seem to be getting its shit together.

I would still take 1998 WCW in terms of all around impressiveness, even though they ruined it.

Goldberg
Sting
Hogan
Savage
Nash
Hall
Flair
Hall
Luger
DDP

And they had a boss mid card with Eddie, Benoit, Scott Steiner and Rey Rey all future world champs. The roster was so loaded I'm honestly forgetting people I'm sure.
>>
>>2949381
Ishii is legit 5'5''

makes him THAT much more of a badass

>>2949703
5'7"
>>
>>2948481
NJPW's current roster is unironically the GOAT. Anyone that actually still enjoys wrestling can see that
>>
>>2948597
There was never a time when all of them were part of the upper card heavyweight division at the same time. Benoit in particular got his chance way later in 2003 or 2004. Jericho and Kane were up there for what is retrospectively a short amount of time, too.

18+ you faggot, this is no different from any of the warped nostalgia view of the generic cancerposter on YouTube or FaceBook who think they were from that time.
>>
>>2949695
As contrarian as this seems, this is a good argument.

However, I'm more curious who makes the cut in a GOAT roster.
>Okada, Omega, Naito
>Rock, Austin, Angle
>Sting and Goldberg

I don't even like some of these guys, but we'd get some damn good feuds out of them.
>>
>>2949695
There's two people in that heavyweight division that can put on good matches. Not to mention the awful booking of WCW around that time period. These are just big names, nothing else.
>>
>>2948481

its 8/10, really solid

Evil from LIJ has really grown on my lately, plus his theme is pure kino. Anyway, LIJ in general is the best faction in pro wrestling today easily.

They are really, really, really great. I just wish SANADA would go back to full black this demonic bull mask doesn't do it for me. And he looks better in black.

4 GOATs and Bushi

Yeah and she made good money from that show. It was her last show of Kana-pro, she was "retiring" after that.
Until she showed up in crowd during Brooklyn I.
>>
WCW, WWE, and NJPW were all great 20~30 years ago, but since its 2017, let's take a look at these three now
>WCW is kill
>WWE's current champ is a poo jobber while Mr MiTB is a charisma vacuum, and the other is handing his belt to a certified anti-draw to go back to the UFC; the company is dying slowly
>NJPW's champ is the Ace of the company and confirmed draw, the roster fighting to get his belt constantly putting in great matches every show; the company is flourishing rapidly
>>
>>2949905
But BUSHI is the GOAT pin-eater.
>>
>>2948481
I dont watch japanese wrestling i only know okada, tanahashi, omega, naito, and ibushi

Reminder to the former WWE marks; BUSHI is over as fuck. Watch older NJPW stuff maybe, or something.
>>
>>2950244
literally my favorite meme is people pretending Bushi has been anything special at any point, I honestly prefer Despy at this point
>>
>>2950244
I've been noticing the new NJPW fans trashing BUSHI a lot, especially since Hiromu joining LIJ, but they're new fans, I don't blame them

saying the word new isn't a defence my dude

wasn't he working in uwf before pancrase?

Its their fault for not watching the earlier stuff, but whatever.
BUSHI is great in the ring, immensely over with the people, and the third pillar of the Super Jr. division.

I'm sorry, but was this an argument about the upper card or the division in general? If it's the former, then you should remove Goto, SANADA, and Ibushi.

SANADA is the next ACE candidate.
Ishii is great, but its not his era. He'd be the GOAT 15 years ago, though.
>>
>>2950292
I went to look up bushi on Cagematch and I literally wasn't even aware he had a title match barely more than a match ago lmao and of the 3 title matches he had last year I can only remember the last two, the destruction one being meh and the Power Struggle defence only being notable for Kushida acting a little more heelish
>third pillar of the Super Jr. division
as soon as i read this i laughed
>>
>>2950310
That's your personal opinion, based on 2 or 3 matches.
As someone who've been a fan for more than a decade, attending their shows, I can say he's in the top of the Super Jr. division, along with KUSHIDA and Hiromu.
>>
>>2950348
When did you start watching NJPW? Out of curiosity

>>2950354
Back in 2004, after Austin's retirement

2. Making shitty movies
3. "Part time"
4. Bon Jovi wannabe
5. Soon to live the gimmick
