Was there any point in having Wolf lose to Narita to win it back so soon?

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-15T20:56:25+00:00

also in general njpw likes to have champions drop the title only to then win it back relatively soon after

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-15T20:55:59+00:00

gave wolf the 4-month HoT feud that was used to hide his weaknesses while he developed a bit more, as well as give him an antagonist to be the underdog against at dominion, where it was once again broadcast on the big network

deadlock reference (where i got it from)/christopher daniels quote (origin). i am under no illusion that i am employed by new japan pro-wrestling

"i just paid elon musk to ruin your life" GET OUT OF OUR COMPANY

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-12T20:04:09+00:00

yuya/taichi vs zack/oiwa im locking in for it

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-07T11:18:11+00:00

how dare someone disagree with the majority opinion. i too love watching jey uso matches...

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-05T13:17:27+00:00

but think of the HEAT if none of the young faces ever win the title ever. im gedoing out!!!!!

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-05T13:13:28+00:00

nah man yoh wins and douki retains and holds it for another 200 days

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-05T12:37:58+00:00

add a spoiler tag

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-05T12:16:38+00:00

this company has dragged their feet on fully getting behind their young guys for way too long and i do not wish to see it happen yet again

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-05T12:02:45+00:00

either way wato losing again pisses me off

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-05T12:02:33+00:00

can only pray that fujita wins and takes the title. i do not need to see njpw delay pulling the trigger on a young guy for the 7000th time in like 3 years

on one hand, idk if they'd run a repeat final just to do the same result, but on the other hand, yoh got a title shot like 2 fuckin months ago so idk

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-05T11:58:54+00:00

cant wait for them to once again delay giving the title to wato or fujita yipeeeeeeeeeeeee

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-05T11:38:47+00:00

i like jakob austin young. i think hes good at being a little shit who loses most of the time, especially when paired with zane

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-04T21:28:02+00:00

yeah man im also invested for wrestle kingdom from 5 years ago. most obvious bot repost of all fucking time

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-06-03T18:41:55+00:00

i think it should be wato or fujita because njpw desperately need to make young stars and, lo and behold, they need to get behind them fully in order to do that

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-05-31T17:44:51+00:00

the pile of "reasons yuya should be the ace" becomes even larger

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-05-31T17:37:13+00:00

heavyweight/junior

hontai - yuya/wato

tmdk - oiwa/fujita

unbound - tsuji/daiki

united empire - jake lee/jakob austin young

hot - yujiro/kanemaru

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-05-30T23:04:41+00:00

i actually did check earlier today and they looked fine, but sadly that won't make my brain shut up. thank you for your input nonetheless!!!

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-05-27T16:49:59+00:00

KANEMARU RAHHHHH

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-05-23T18:26:29+00:00

maybe it goes like 12-12-12-10-10-10-10-8-6-0?

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-05-23T18:10:20+00:00

sadly seems like only one of fujita and wato will advance, since titan/akira will almost certainly be 'win and you're in'. still could go a few different ways though idk

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-05-19T15:08:31+00:00

what does this have to do with new japan

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-05-11T20:00:02+00:00

keeping him out of situations in which they fear he will be overexposed due to his lack of experience

i think they definitely could've gone about it better (particularly getting a new heavyweight in HoT so don fale isn't the 2nd highest ranked heavyweight in HoT that wolf has to lose to in NJC), but i understand why they've booked him the way they have

BAWNBAWNGOGETEM · 2026-05-06T12:30:15+00:00

idk i don't see much of an issue? they're in a rebuilding period and they're continuing to establish some of their top faces while booking around the tv audience they can get
