Seen a couple of his matches. Becoming a big fan of him. What're

Roman Reigns

>>3100065
He's a samurai. Original, I know.

>>3100065
vs. Shibata at Dominion 2013
vs. Ishii G1 Climax 23
vs. Honma G1 Climax 24

He's a Samurai and he kicks you really hard.

>>3100065
Look at his Yukes stuff. Tanahashi vs Gotoh. Nakamura vs Gotoh.

He labeled his style as aramusha strongstyle.

>>3100111
What does Yukes mean exactly?

>>3100065
He's the guy who basically gives everything, all the time but simply cannot win the "big one"

>>3100189
The pre Bushiroad era 2005 to 2011.

Him and Tanshashi created the modern Main event style.

>>3100189
Its like Dukes but with a Y.

>>3100199
>Him and Tanshashi created the modern Main event style.

Carter speaking bullshit as usual.

>>3100211
Actually I'm not Carter. And I watched them create back forth build matches while Nakameme pre Mexico insisted on limb works resthold matches. Everyone noticed the changes on starts old Njpw site.

The style changed over the years slowy. Tanahashi was making guys tap in min events sometimes pre Bushiroad. That's a diffrent thrope.

>>3100219
I see what you mean.

NOAH had a style around that time that was similar to New Japan now I would say, maybe not quite as flashy.

and since njpw does do the 'you deserve it' token championship runs anymore, he won get the strap

Friendly reminder that New Japan DOES hand out "Lifetime Achievement" Championship runs. I think either Ishii or Goto will get one

>>3100292

Nakanishi with the IWGP Championship.... A period best forgotten and never to be brought up again

>>3100065

if you don't really like him choking much, 2008 G1 Climax finals, Any match between him vs Shibata (he and Shibata used to be close friends), Goto vs Masato Tanaka for IC title in 2012, His 2012 New Japan Cup matches, and any tag matches with Swords&Guns (with Karl Anderson) and Meiyuu Tag (with Katsuyori Shibata)

If you okay with him choking, his matches with Tanahashi in any event, the recent matches with Omega For WK Contract and 2016 G1 Finals, and his 2016 matches against Okada for IWGP Title (before he joined CHAOS)
