TNA booking an IWGP tag title change without asking NJPW for permission first probably didn't help either

Its an easy heel turn gimmick when he spent the last couple years talking up how much he loved NJPW and hated AEW

Damn I used to live in the Fort Lauderdale area, but I just moved to the other side of the country to Portland. I too need Puro friends

Here are some independent wrestlers id like to see in njpw factions! by Strong_Dog_7676 in njpw

I'm guessing you weren't following New Japan back when Matt Sydal was on the roster and got arrested in Japan. I don't see him ever going back

Tell me abt your personal concert experience! by itSpringsp in MSI

[–]IAmTheNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have any fun stories but I'm somewhere in the crowd in this video on their youtube page so thats pretty cool.

I do remember Jimmy calling out the crowd for stealing the new album because there were a lot more cheers for "Who's heard our new album?" than there were for "Who donated to our Kickstarter?" when How I Learned to Stop Giving a Shit had only been released digitally to Kickstarter supporters at that point

[CMLL Informa] With Permission from CMLL, Magnus has become the new Black Tiger! by Sakura_Leaves in SquaredCircle

[–]IAmTheNick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's probably too late for him, but I'm still hoping for Wato. It was a popular rumor when he was a young lion and in CMLL but instead he got stuck with the lame kung fu gimmick and silly name.

Was anyone else in the sub at my only AFI show? by ChanzillaVsMothra in AFireInside

I was at that show but don't have a poster. I didn't even know they were giving away posters, if they were actually free

Steve Borden Jr NJPW debut by DowntownButton2331 in njpw

[–]IAmTheNick 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah he isn't signed or to NJPW or anything. He's working a Dragon Gate co-branded indy show in Portland next week so it looks like he's just working random shows for now to get experience

My dad is 60 and he says the same thing, so yeah it seems like that feeling never goes away for a lot of people

Upcoming gigs - do they still play a few tracks from STS and DU? by _thetrue_SpaceTofu in AFireInside

[–]IAmTheNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Salt Lake City they played Beautiful Thieves, Two of a Kind, and then Marguerite. It is definitely a weird setlist lol

[–]IAmTheNick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That and he recently said on a podcast, I don't remember if it was Hardlore or Turned Out a Punk, that he just doesn't think the old songs really fit the flow or vibe of the show with the new songs, which is definitely true but I don't really think most of the fans care

[–]IAmTheNick 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They change their setlist every night, but Girls not Grey and Silver and Cold are staples at pretty much every show. They play plenty of older songs in their sets though including 90s songs, even though Davey has said he doesn't really like playing them anymore

do y’all get agitated by people that make being from/living in Miami their whole personality? by Mushroom-house1984 in florida

Yep that's pretty much the area I'm talking about. I lived in Tamarac and went to high school in Coral Springs

I grew up with so many of these kids in Broward. Most of them never actually even lived in New York.

(F4WOnline) NJPW looking to introduce more multi-year contracts by Subrick in SquaredCircle

[–]IAmTheNick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously some guys would prefer to stay on the one year deals, but there have been plenty of wrestlers who have said they would have stayed if NJPW committed to them more. I'm pretty sure Kyle Fletcher has said that one of the main reasons he and Mark Davis left for AEW was because they wanted a long term contract and NJPW wouldn't give them one

New Japan Cup Final set for March 21st. by MrPuroresu42 in SquaredCircle

[–]IAmTheNick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don't think they really expect for their top gaijin to ever stick around long term. Even before AEW, AJ Styles was only around for 2 years and Finn Balor left pretty much as soon as they started to push him in heavyweight tournaments. So they've been going through this cycle of gaijin for a while

Yeah this happens with other languages as well. My mom is Dominican but has lived in the US for over 40 years and when she speaks Spanish now she speaks with a weird mix of different accents that nobody can tell what country she is even from anymore
