The New Japan crowds are hardly quiet these days.
>>3121631
They're not really all that quiet anymore. They tend to get louder as the match goes on, particularly throughout the finishing sequences, and they pop for big moves or whatever they consider to be a good sequence.
They just don't chant or scream when a wrestler's music hits.

>They just don't chant or scream when a wrestler's music hits
Just watch some Naito entrances and tell me that this is still true
so this is /asp/'s board culture
pretending one version of homoerotic fake fighting is better than another
>>3122890
they just don't normally chant phrases or things outside of just names
>>3122906
They do chant names, and the weird thing is that they'll change who they're chanting for multiple times per match, depending on who's down and out, usually regardless of heel or face.
Naito's exploded to the top and is still somehow rising. I should have said they usually don't scream when the music hits. The entirety of Japan is sucking his balls right now. With good reason.

>usually regardless of heel or face
Heel and face dynamics are malleable there. I've seen both Okada and Tanahashi switch from face to dirty heel and back again in the course of a match just because the crowd was rallying for one or there was a particular part they needed to get over.

Is Japanese wrestling anything more than flippy shit?
I don't know...I don't know...

Not in NJPW. Even the heavyweights are infected with gay as fuck choreographed shit.

Dude, the match started off with flippy shit.
It was mostly flippy shit after that. With some "spots" which aren't flippy shit thrown in to allow them to rest.
Just to be clear: flippy shit is flipping around when there is no need to flip around.
