[7/18 - 08/14]NJPW Presents: G-1 Climax 26

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

Ishii got a singles good match out fukking Tenzan?! I cant WAIT to see this later

Im eyeing a Naito win with Okada in the finals. I expected Tenzan to beat Okada in a match for block A to set up a future title shot but idk now after night 1.

Idk why but I still have faith in Gedo. Sorry @Jmare007

I have faith in Gedo to always go down the path of least resistance

I guess it depends on what you are basing that faith. I'm sure Naito will get another push and run with the title, and that Los Ingobernables will be the n°1 stable for a while. But beyond that it's gonna be the same damn people in the same position, on the same feuds without any progression. Gedo could've hit the reset button on a lot of stuff in the last 2 months but instead we got a really soft reboot. I have no clue what is there to have faith with anymore in terms of booking.

I guess I'ma broken record at this point but this is Gabe Sapolski's ROH post CZW feud. Good to great matches but uninspired and lazy booking that gets overshadowed by the quality of the matches

Shibata vs chubby baby Nakajima in 06

Didn't even get tagged for the thread I'll catch this later tonight

My bad. It's hard trying to remember everyone:bookertfacepalm:

Probably because they realized he's never going to be more than a comedy dude, much like the Young Bucks. The Omega push at the start of the year was a knee jerk reaction to do SOMETHING to make up for Nak/AJ leaving. Obviously did not work and they didn't stick with it, either.

I hate the comedy shyt but that's 100% on him. They gave him the ball and all he/BC wanted to do was keep playing silly games and making jokes. Same reason i dislike Cole's US version of the BC.

The visa issues not allowing him to come to the US really fukked up his push as well.

This. Even though he was still sweeping to the ring before hand I feel like he amped up the comedy shyt even more once he became champ. Less is more. Let the Young Bucks do that shyt.

 

[The Rainmaker]

Ishii vs Tenzan, the match of the night. FIGHTING SPIRIT for the win.

 

[TOAD99]

Anyone got a link

Gedo's laziness is the reason I'm not checking for NJPW like that anymore. I'm too busy for static and lazy promotions.

Tenzan always has at least one or two matches a year where he really delivers the goods. Him and Ishii killing it isn't surprising.

Gonna wait and see the Tana/Sanada and Okada/Marufuji matches.

Having faith in Gedo is like waiting for that dbry push prior to mania 30.

I dont even pay attention to NJPW booking. I dont care

I just watch all the 4 1/2 star+ classics after the fact

I can respect that At least there's still great matches, there's no denying that.

I was like that in 07' to 11' but at some point this kinda booking gets to you as a fan breh. And there's enough "4 stars classics" in other promotions anyway. New Japan just becomes another promotion out of the many

In retrospect would if have been better to have okada win at WK 10 when everyone's eyes was on the product and him become the ace then ?? Then wk11 be say him vs shinsuke or AJ or someone else .
As much as people shyt on wwe it would be like Bryan losing at mania to hhh like next year when he overcomes the game it'll be while fans sound be kind
