Based ZSJ for sacrificing 2 points for Nagata as consolation prize
>>2987903
Rip guy held down.
Even Dave said he is the best worker.

Wrestling used to keep using guys in their old ages.
Nagata would be winning top titles even in his 50s elsewhere. Still weird to phase out people who aren't that broken down.
Tana is depushed fast as well.
Not that any nu-Japan droid would know anything.

Didn't Mirko Cro Cop knock this overrated jap out in 20 secs?

They have a new crop of guys. These legends will still be selling tickets and some merch. At least they won't have to put longass main event matches.
It makes sense.

Amazing how you gleaned all that from 2 words.
He was NEVER Openweight Champion just last year, newfuck
>>2987903
JUSTICE!
>>2987903
One of my top faves of all time
>>2989120
He will NEVER draw a dime just like all chink shitters

Nagata really stepped it up in this year's G1 but he's been a turd for years before it.

Big Money Kazuchika says otherwise
Nagata had an amazing G1. His match with Tanahashi was one of my favorite of the whole tournament
>>2990686
Kazwhochika?

These 3rd generation fucks are all failed aces who never moved any business and really don't deserve any credit.

A guy who can actually fill an arena without cutting ticket prices by as much as $50
>>2991736
An arena or a pachinko hall?
>>2991739
An arena.
Despite only winning one match, he was one of the best few guys in arguably the best tournament ever, at 49 years of age. That's pretty remarkable. The losses don't matter when you perform your ass off like that. Based Blue Justice.
Got genuinely choked up when everyone was holding up the cards and Nagata's trying not to cry as Nogami bawls on commentary.
>>2989101
It's not like Nagata is retiring. He's still going to be working matches for them. He just won't be working G1. Tana hasn't been depushed that much. He's not late 2000s early 2010s SuperTana, but he's still kept pretty strong. Look how well they had him do in the G1.
He did really good. Each of his matches were watchable with some select standouts like with Ibushi, Goto, and ZSJ.
