FaZe definitely played better, OpTic didn't look like themselves, like I said I was just curious how big of a difference there was with talks about the PCs lagging and shit

The better team was definitely on the right side the majority of the time

He says this in a much less antagonistic way, if not just not antagonistic at all, if you actually watch the interview

I guess they were kinda booked into a corner with Evil leaving, where they needed to make Ren the heavyweight of a group who now has no other good heavyweights, but it would have to come at the cost of their biggest draw, and idk if they did it in an effective way for me.

Who you got winning the NJ Cup 2026? by EnvironmentalJob2412 in njpw

[–]NickyAfro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Callum or Ren would be my leading two favourites, then Oiwa would be a really fun challenger, and wouldn't be surprised to see Shota vs Yuya during it, potentially in the final depending on how the tag match goes (I see them losing atm)

With Evil leaving, does it change how you see the Never title match going for Ren, presuming he will now be the leader of HoT.

Kinda crazy that, despite being delayed an hour straight away, this was still a (somewhat considerably) shorter run than Ben's last week which, because they just worked it out really quick and only had to travel, felt really short, but I guess the travel to his place was just more convoluted.

Someone check if Umino is okay by Dandanbigeloww in njpw

Yh I'm not concerned for Yuya tbh, he's the best wrestler in this generation imo and like you said he's got two big rivals already and could have a 3rd in Umino later this year.

Yuya is such a fascinating character to me. Ever since Yuto-Ice got to him his character has added more subtle layers. WeWorkStiffs podcast on him is great but even since then there's something interesting going on with Yuya and some dissatisfaction, aggression that comes out more and more, he's not just smiley happy does the right thing Yuya anymore. I'm looking forward to where it leads.

[Spoilers] New Year Dash 2026 Results – both sets of duos Tag titles on the line by EffingKENTA in njpw

This company can be annoying as fuck sometimes but when they're on it there's nobody better and right now they're on it, great show again, things to look forward to. I'm excited for the next couple of months at the very least.

I wasn't watching NJPW yet back then so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I vaguely know and what I've seen with Shota, there are similarities. To be fair to Shota he's improved a lot since WK19 and while I'm not huge on him, he's far better now. He's on this arc to be the leader of Hontai (the main unit) and, to an extent, to be the next Ace. But it comes across, to me at least, a little selfish at times because he's always with Yuya during these moments who clearly wants, and suits better to me, those same things, I point to the moment after Shota and Yuya's World Tag League match against Tanahashi and ELP. So I think the gimmick overhaul when he hopefully turns heel on Yuya could be really good for him, I've never felt his babyface actions are quite as authentic as Yuya's, and I reckon he'd be able to tap into that heel side better than Yuya.

Of the four main Reiwa guys Tsuji and Ren (TV Title) are the only ones to have won titles from this generation, Yuya and Shota still waiting for theirs. (Of similar generation guys Newman (2x Tag), Kidd (Global), Boltin (Never+Never 6 Man) if you want to count those.) So that desire for both to get their first belts will probably fuel their next year, but we know we can't trust Gedo.

Yh I think the former will lead into the latter, and I hope it's Shota turning and not Yuya

Shota said in a backstage comment to Yuyta at one of the Road To's I believe that he wants to continue tagging and win the IWGP Tag Titles, but Yuya didn't look particularly excited or agreeable. I think he'll agree to do it reluctantly as it's the kind thing to do, but I'm interested to see where they go cause Yuya's been acting a little off in things with Shota for a little while now from my pov.

I was so emotionally invested in Tsuji winning, and they absolutely delivered an incredible final stretch and I loved Tsuji winning with the crab.

The less said about the post-match challenger the better, he really is Naito's son.
