After Power Struggle, Wrestle Kingdom 9 is shaping up to be...

shocking statement. Ishii's got my vote for Most Outstanding pro wrestler this year. dude's insanely tough. puts on stiff realistic matches. been involved in some of the best matches of the yearBig Red Machine wrote:Meltzer is already going nuts, gushing and overrating that atrocious Ishii vs. Goto match. Total DUD, IMO. Has there ever been a wrestler more overrated than Ishii?

As it's TV Asahi, the options are a TV deal...or a New Japan version of Legend's House featuring Chono, Sasaki, and Tenryu.
Rumor I have seen is a "New Japan Network". With TV Asahi involved I am not sure if it will be an on-demand service or an actual television station. If the rumor is even true, that is.D2Kvirus wrote:As it's TV Asahi, the options are a TV deal...or a New Japan version of Legend's House featuring Chono, Sasaki, and Tenryu.
Not very. I've been watchin New Japan for a few years and was into NOAH before that. I love Tanahashi, Okada, Nakamura, Makabe, Anderson, Suzuki, Sakuraba, Ibushi, and the like. I just think that Ishii's matches usually suck. He'll no-sell a million forearms to the head. Then he'll take one and sell it like he was hit with baseball bat. Then he'll just get up and start throwing headbutts. How does that make sense?BlackLesnar wrote:How new are you to puro?Big Red Machine wrote:Meltzer is already going nuts, gushing and overrating that atrocious Ishii vs. Goto match. Total DUD, IMO.

they're humans. trust me, it hurtBig Red Machine wrote: I thought his match with Shibata last year was a perfect example of how to not do a wrestling match. The whole match seemed designed to make me not give a sh*t about any of the moves because none of them seemed to hurt either guy in any way.
I don't think you're really getting the (very valid) point BRM is trying to make. I agree with Ishii being overrated, his matches may be enjoyable, but they absolutely don't make any senseDirtyDave wrote:they're humans. trust me, it hurtBig Red Machine wrote: I thought his match with Shibata last year was a perfect example of how to not do a wrestling match.

doesn't matter if you've figured it out, the crowds always react and the fans are always big time into his matches.Big Red Machine wrote: He so overuses the kickout of a finisher at one to the point where never mind not being surprising, but I could easily call the exact spot in the match where he did it. That should NEVER happen for something that is supposed to be as shocking and special as kicking out of a finisher at one.
No singles though other than the occasional appearances by Shelton or an NWA guy.cviens wrote:Alex Shelley, Rocky Romero, Alex Koslov, Kyle O'Reilly, Bobby Fish, Lance Archer and Davey Boy Smith Jr.Northwoods_Nightmare wrote:Lame. Can't there be any gaijin not in BC?DXvsNWO1994 wrote:Spoiler: show
