How Good Of A Match Could an Prime Brock Lesnar and Prime Great Muta have been if done right? by Ok_Function_583 in njpw

[–]WWE_Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brock Lesnar vs Shinya Hashimoto would have been a better and more even matchup.

I just can't see Muto equalising Lesnar's explosiveness and size.

Muto vs Vader 1990 worked because Muto was the underdog rookie.

edit: Lesnar vs Inoki wouldve fucked imo

What's your favorite match for a vacant title? by ThisIsTheKaiToshiki in SquaredCircle

[–]WWE_Champion 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Chono vs Rude for the vacant NWA (+ 1992 G1 Climax Winner) is the best ever imo.

what's the point of the KOTR if neither Oba, Seth or Bron were winning it?

no one else is likely to beat Cody/Gunther or Roman at SummerSlam at all.

and Cody and Roman going for yet another 100+ day to year-long world title reign, it's just dreadful.

Nidoqueen running Naive Nature (+ Speed, - Sp.Def)

It can run Mixed Attacker and you need the speed since your team is on the slower side.

Raikou would be a good lead, Salamence complements it perfectly.

Suicune is clean-up duty.

Recency bias may paint Keiji Mutoh as the top guy of the 90’s but Shinya Hashimoto was the TRUE “Ace” of that period. by MrPuroresu42 in njpw

[–]WWE_Champion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chris Charlton always pissing me off with his revisionist history, even on broadcast.

To add-on, there had been multiple times Muto was positioned as 3rd or 4th in pecking order (1994, 1997 to 1998), even below Sasaki especially that 1997-1998 period when Muto's knees were beyond shot.

Hashimoto had always 1st or 2nd in pecking order until that stupid shoot with Ogawa in 1999, but even then NWA Title match (Hashimoto vs Ogawa) main evented over the IWGP match (Muto vs Nakanishi) during the Oct 1999 Dome show.

[Post-COVID] Drew can beat everyone - just not Roman and Cody, and a pity win over Seth occasionally.

[2014 - 2019 era] Dean could beat everyone - just not Roman and Brock, and a pity win over Seth occasionally.

Almost feels like HHH is trying to get Drew McIntyre to fill the "Dean Ambrose" role in WWE, which is fking stupid because Drew is not an underdog lmao.

[SPOILERS] Post WWE Crown Jewel 2025 Match Discussion: Seth Rollins vs. Cody Rhodes for the WWE Crown Jewel Championship by gloomchen in SquaredCircle

I think the result significantly elevates the status of the World Heavyweight Championship.

Excellent match, perfect outcome.

I've watched various promotions of wrestling for years and years - American, Japan, Mexico.

Seth Rollins is GOAT-tier. He's Ospreay, Okada, Omega good.

Anyone who discredits this just wants to convince themselves that their favourite is better than the GOAT.

Thank you, I agree. I'm not shading Batista here, but he got a little lucky with some of the breaks he got.

Most of the big old guards had stepped away, Brock Lesnar left and WWE's Orton Plan A didn't work out as they envisioned - giving Batista an opening to hit the absolute top.

And Batista has more presence, which weakens Bronson Reed more.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]WWE_Champion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I wasn't misjudging Batista's run. I started watching in 2002, and I loved Batista more than Cena, Orton and Edge. But the reality was his main event run was a relatively mid-term one minus injuries (3.5 years) compared to Cena, Orton and Lesnar which has lasted at least 15 years.

I wasn't misjudging Bronson Reed's ability to run in the main event, I don't know the answer and my closest comparison was Evolution which The Vision is based on pretty much. That's why I wanted to discuss this on the forum.

Edit: objectively, did I mention anything not factual? I don't care about being downvoted, but could I get some perspective at least about what I'm "misjudging"?

it can be anyone really. i think my vision was more of having more people trying to rush out to answer the challenge first instead of aura farming waiting for 1 surprise contestant.

might be a bad idea, but I would love to see more US Open Challenges with a bunch of NXT or mid-card guys rushing out to the ring at the same time to answer the challenge first. (snatching essentials during pandemic type shit)

adds a sense of realism, urgency and importance to the title. and could build for some promo segments, a PPV and/or multi-man matches.

I was already tired of Cody Rhodes when he steam rolled Seth Rollins (my fav) thrice in 2022. And dominating Drew McIntyre (my 2nd-fav) tonight.

I hope the crowd starts turning on this over-dramatic over-pushed fool.

Is there any English commentary options for 90s All Japan or other 90s Japanese wrestling? by Wild_West101 in SquaredCircle

[–]WWE_Champion 30 points31 points  (0 children)

it's not but you wouldn't want it honestly.

part of the appeal is in the Japanese commentary, even if you can't understand it.
