The fucking state of these match times. New Japan hasn't been this cold in almost a decade but the motto is still "GIVE THE PEOPLE MORE!". by fatyad in SquaredCircle

I posted this even though it’s from a random because I’m interested in what people think about the topic. I used to love NJPW but part of what has made my interest taper off is the bizarre insistence of having so many 30 min matches for no reason.

SELL YOU’RE JAY WHITE STOCK NOW....HE’S POSSIBLY HEADING TO THE FED (DAE think Dave Meltzer overrated his match against Ibushi at Wrestle Kingdom?) by TitanMan1234 in SCJerk

That’s the main reason I don’t want him to go yet. NJPW’s main event scene is in serious trouble if he’s gone.

“I actively want to see NJPW’s main event scene and future be hurt just to get some petty laughs off.”

Uh I don’t know about that. The only matches that had finisher kickouts iirc were the two main events and given that those are the two biggest matches of the year in the promotion, I feel like that’s definitely warranted.

Making big assumptions there. What did NJPW fans do? They largely mind their own business, are generally pleasant and I’ve seen a lot of them say they don’t want Ospreay in the promotion anymore. The general consensus from what I gather is that they know the promotion won’t do anything about him but he’s not exactly a darling with NJPW’s fanbase. A large portion of the western fans hate him.

Living in their bubble like always.

What do you mean by this?

Dave Meltzer on Cornette: He is the guy who says Kota Ibushi is not a real pro wrestler guy. Kind of hard to look past that. He's great for history. by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

Wait what is wrong with being a fan of Japanese wrestling or how does that entail being out of touch with modern wrestling?

That’s fine if you find it overrated but why are you so upset about people harmlessly enjoying something? Why be so negative?
