same here, I popped huge when that happened. hopefully AJ gets a real opponent next WM because it was all downhill for him match-quality wise after that.
I swear this girl is underrated
>>3012357
For the patriarchy!

I forgot how blown the fuck up Shane was during this match. I was afraid he'd have a heart attack.

That was younger Ibushi in DDT?
>>3013057
It was Ibushi doing it to Kenny Omega. Kenny said it's the worst bump of his life and he could feel his internal organs crash into his ribs.

Blame Jado and Gedo.
>>3019874
Modern Ajp and Bjw are the last places to watch big man puroresu.
>>3019874
>its the bookers fault the audiences need more moves to be entertained in 2017 than they needed in 1994
>>3019917
>>3019931
Bookers shape wrestling fans views. Old bookers and site foresite men like Choshu said no to many moves.
Blaming the fans is weird. Other promotions like Ajw aren't that movez or flashy. Yet are starting to draw more again.
>>3019862
Go away.
Just watch wrestling.
Don't get worked.
Enjoy whatever makes you mark.
>>3019947
That's a god damn jackhammer!
>>3019954
Anyway early Noah had the most highspots besides DragonGate.
>>3019990
Booooshhhhhhhhh
>>3019943
DG is the flippiest of flippy and they're the number 2 promotion in Japan right now. NJPW has gotten huge working a flippier, faster-paced style and almost died from working that old way. AJW is barely coming back from the brink of death a few years ago, and they're basically the only promotion with any kind of traction or notoriety working that style and even then their current stuff is faster-paced than the old stuff.
we live in an age where people are looking down at their cellphones if they're not being stimulated/entertained, the moves that popped crowds 25 years ago simply aren't flashy enough to do so today. tastes change over time, it's just the way of the world.
>>3019778
I miss the classic New Japan slugfest between two hateful and lumpy guys.
>>3020064
Stop trying to do shit to pop the crowd and learn to work.
>>3020096
yeah that damn Tanahashi needs to learn how to work. stop just parroting shit you heard JBL say.
>>3020068
Exists in ajpw.
>>3020111
I really don't have a big problem with modern Njpw. But it's great to have different styles used by other feds.
If only Noah and wrestle-1 adopted garbage wrestling like fmw or even fun bs like hustle it is good.
>>3020140
Nomura needs more gifs.
>>3020123
Not him, but I blame signature spots for a lot of the problems with modern wrestling. If wrestling works best as simulating the drama of a sporting event, then why would you do something that seems routine? I'm not talking about teasing a finish or even a near fall, as much as everyone feeling the need to "get their shot in" which takes away from that "sportsy" feel.
I've never been the biggest fan of big men just hitting each other, but I can see how you can get a Rocky-esque fight out of them. I can also appreciate the athleticism of flippy shit, but excessive set up and choreography feels weak. NJPW feels like a decent sweet spot, but even there we see Kenny becoming overly reliant on throwing Knees or Sanada having to do the paradise lock every match. I just want guys to keep stuff special and open up their repertoire.

Hansen is the GOAT lariat user, not even Vader does it harder, Okada's one in comparision looks weak as fuck.
Anyone have that one Sami Zayn gif?
>>3019824
That was a legit botch right? Or worked? If it was legit, good on Kana for saving that moment from eternal wrestlecrap cringe. Quick thinking.
>>3020176
Using formulaic spots became the norm for Njpw during 2009. I seen workers in the past use rare moves or changed movesets in the old days. Part of the old original match layouts they used to do.
>>3020176
This is exactly how I've felt about wrestling for years. New Japan definitely has it spot on as compared to other companies. Another problem with WWE in this regard is the way each move or spot feels exactly the same every time it's done. It's perfectly choreographed and executed identically, sold identically, done in the same direction in the exact same spot of the ring, and even filmed exactly the same. It's never situational or contextual anymore.
But yeah you're right, it seems not many people know how to just wrestle any more, they only know how to perform the same exact match give or take a couple of unique spots for PPVs. Matches always used to have this organic, open-ended feel, these days it seems like it's limited to the guys who put on technical grappling matches and maybe someone like Lesnar.
>>3020302
This. I watch NJPW, and i remember pretty much everything I see, like which spot happened in which match. When I watch WWE, its a repetitive blur, like all the matches are more or less the same. Doesnt help that the same matchups are booked over and over again.
>>3020267
Im sure you dont mean this one. But heres a Sami anyway.
450 with an exposed butthole GOAT.
>>3020330
i suspect its just another part of the wwe's obsession with branding every part of a wrestler and controlling every aspect of their presentation

That seems like a good part of the problem. Repeatable spots help the audience know when to cheer! Right?
