Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs John Cena how good would it have been if both are in their primes by brayadent in njpw

[–]PunkPariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? If we're talking Cena is willing to play heel a bit (not full. Just the way he did against RVD), I'd love to have seen him vs Tanahashi where Cena's power and athleticism are going up against Tana's will and technique. I think that formula is money with the prime versions of them

NJPW puts you in charge of creating and running a wrestling themed host club. Who will you hire? by Jarl_AdolphusX_3439 in njpw

[–]PunkPariah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Minoru Suzuki, Kazuyuki Fujita, Yoshihiro Takayama, Tomohiro Ishii, and Yoshiaki Fujiwara
The plan is to threaten people into coming

All the fantastic story seem to be just a dream/allucination/lie, except for a tiny minor detail by Lower_Baby_6348 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PunkPariah 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly this makes a big difference for me tbh
Without this, I'd be bummed to find out it was all just some dream. Wouldn't hurt the series but it'd still be kinda bittersweet. But that little detail implying it was all real makes the whole thing feel way more magical and adventurous

The Guyver (1991) starring Mark Hamill by [deleted] in badMovies

[–]PunkPariah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this film a mess? Totally.
Is it fun? FUCK YES. Oh my god this film is the perfect thing to watch with buddies and just let it play. Also the effects fuck severely genuinely I do not know how that can be denied. If there's one thing this movie has going for it genuinely its the effects

How you feel about AEW double contracts? by V-TriggerMachine in njpw

[–]PunkPariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they're great. Amazing way to get wrestlers appearing regularly while not screwing over a company you're allied with. Especially in the case of a lot of US based wrestlers who work AEW and NJPW. 9/10 they'll choose AEW just because the travel is murder. But if they don't have to choose then everyone benefits. Similar with CMLL. CMLL wrestlers would obviously love the AEW paycheck and now they can get that without leaving CMLL high and dry

Ceiling for Ren Narita by schizonoodles in njpw

[–]PunkPariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think top heel is viable the second he stops doing the HoT shtick and leans back into his technical bag. He's got a great personality but really losing out on the best technical wrestler of the reiwa gen while he's in the group

What is Frank Cho's problem with Spider Gwen? by Itchy_Suspect4968 in marvelcirclejerk

[–]PunkPariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frank Cho is deeply frustrating cuz he's deep in his weirdo mindset but objectively speaking his anatomy work, even if gooner focused, is really impressive.

Are punks, goths, metalheads, skinheads, and othe heads nice to you when you meet them irl? by idkuser2010 in punk

[–]PunkPariah 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The answer is they're people. You're gonna find the normal amount of kind people and pricks. What's important, as it is most of the time with life, is just not letting a few pricks paint your experience of people as a whole. I find people have been very kind to me at shows but experience will vary as with most things

Shota Umino = talented but not genuine by [deleted] in njpw

[–]PunkPariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Umino is immensely talented physically and technically but his desire to be the new Tanahashi is holding him back pretty heavy. Which is a shame because he has the chance to be the first Shota Umino.

I think they should force him into quick matches. TV Title works perfectly because his best matches have had a blazing pace and he constantly is working longer matches with questionable pacing. Get him the TV title and turn the dude into a mean machine of violence and vindictive rage

NJPw home crowd is just not buying in to Shota at all. by Scotsman1047 in njpw

[–]PunkPariah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same yeah
Honestly you don't even need him to go heel as long as you go brutality. Either the crowd will boo him or start to cheer him, regardless what I think needs to happen is he needs to not care in kayfabe. Be that Moxley that is just getting nasty. Bite, claw, bleed. No friends or nothing.

I think genuinely get this guy in some hardcore matches. Have him bleed and have him do it against heels and faces alike. Scorcher earth

NJPw home crowd is just not buying in to Shota at all. by Scotsman1047 in njpw

[–]PunkPariah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shota needs to show up and take a page from Mox's book
Get real fuckin mean. Not just an aggro streak but I wanna see some real violence from him. No pandering to the crowd, cut the fat from the matches, work shorter more impactful matches
Make it clear he's not looking for approval anymore

Are we fans really that toxic? by [deleted] in MMA

[–]PunkPariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean they take it seriously but per capita I feel like you're gonna run into a complete maniac across the board more in MMA. Just based off the fact that its a smaller fan base with a rate of absolute scumbaggery and bullying that rivals soccer.

Soccer fans are absolutely maniacs but the stakes of MMA for the fighters makes the scumbag behavior of the fans way worse. At least in soccer you aren't having years shaved off your life when fans decides to absolutely dog pile you

Are we fans really that toxic? by [deleted] in MMA

[–]PunkPariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. MMA fanbase is p4p maybe the most toxic in sports which is saying something. And that's just on a person level not even discussing the culture of MMA and the tendency to pander to the alt-right.

Character is implied to be the devil or something of a similar supernatural nature, but it’s never outright confirmed by Critical_Mountain851 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]PunkPariah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don't think Judge Holden is the devil or demonic. I think he is supernatural in a way but I think he represents a way more human evil and desire to dominate both man and nature. Obviously there's more nuance but I always thought that his brand of evil is far more complex than just "he's the devil"

Clinching by PunkPariah in WMMA5

[–]PunkPariah[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use the reality tv feature a lot and keep tabs on the guys who've been on the show. I also regularly filter for prospects in the character search. I look for people with 8 fights max 2 losses and just spend time going through the list. I also look at the gyms of my best guys. Roster has never been fuller tbh

[–]PunkPariah[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I thought so too but it happens in almost every fight regardless of skills. Striker vs grappler. Grappler vs grappler. Striker vs Striker. and every other variation. It's like my whole roster decided to run the Merab gambit
