Good. I hope he eats more. I need a true monster hoss in NJ besides 5'8" Michael Elgin and Bad Luck Fale. I was very VERY disappointed in the Elgin/Fale NJ Cup match. Not because I thought it'd be good or anything, but because Elgin didn't do any power spots at all. His only "power spots" were a vertical and German suplex. shyt Ishii has done to Fale. PROVE to me you're as strong as you say, breh. Catch Fale doing a dive, breh.

Of course I like wrestling. I have a whole website with over 10,000 gifs dedicated to 99% wrestling. Being negative don't mean I don't like it. I want this muscled up freak of a young lion to be a legit ass monster HOSS as opposed to a short ass Canadian pretending to be a strong man who doesn't do strong man spots with guys over 210 pounds.

It is weird how people make fun of big guys in pro wrestling nowadays, not every wrestler needs to do flippy shyt and whatnot. There should always be a balance of styles. What happened to wrestlers like Kobashi, Sasaki, Tenryu, Jumbo, Choshu, Vader, Hansen, It is weird when Ishii is the only real power wrestler and he's 5'7, makes sense because he's Choshu's protege.

Need this as a 'Repped' gif :wow:

As for Shibata - that really sucks. I like his work a lot, and I really enjoy his whole "They shootin :birdman: ' gimmick, but when I watch his matches I find myself saying nothing but "Jeeeezus :picard::ohhh::hubie::lupe:". If he has to go out, it was a great performance in the biggest possible match. Genuine :salute:if thats all she wrote.

Edit: This is why Suzuki is smart - he's probably pretty battered from his MMA runs, but from what I've seen of him, his character's :demonic:side is mainly from torturing the shyt out of his opponents, rather than taking crazy risks these days.

After watching Shibata/Suzuki, I might have to revise my criticism of Okada/Suzuki. I think it's become clear to me at least that Suzuki's days as a top level talent are behind him. He's almost 50, goes a lot slower, with a lot of fire behind his strikes, and a lot more downtime than he had even 2-3 years ago. Definitely not a 40 minute title match performer anymore. He's entered his Yuji Nagata phase, imo. Which is still good, but not top tier anymore.

You know, I'm really not trying to be a contrarian, but I'm not seeing this all time classic year Okada is having.
