>only two matches per night
dumb. g1 at least does 4
>>
>>20002839
Oh yeah the bracket doesn't show it but Ishii got sawdusted wrestling Andrade so Kojima takes his place
>>
>>20002844
the whole event should be tournament matches + a main event.

Make this shit more dynamic with less filler
>>
Where the hell is Walker?
>>
>>20002844
They don't even have Tsuji booked for the anniversary show. They should've booked a whole 32-man bracket and done at least 3 per show
>>
>>20002839
Wolf bros are we worried?
>>
>>20002857
>Lets get this tournament over with in three days
lmao
>>
>>20002873
if they just do the entire right side first round day one and then the entire left side first day 2 and just keep going like that until the semis, where they do both on the same day, the tournament wound only finish 4 days earlier and would be a lot better paced.
>>
>>20002873
Its a grim looking tournament Id perfer that desu
>>
>its a sabre jr wins the cup again to give him the most all time episode
skip
>>
>>20002878
They did that for the 2021 version iirc
>>
>>20002878
agree, I dont know why gedo always has to book so much tagslop. the show is called new japan cup but only has two tournament matches per show? kinda strange.
>>
>>20002886
Sorry grimfag but I am STILL not watching Noah
>>
>>20002862
in the pizza line
>>
whats the best, most fresh outcome for the finals?
>>
>>20002893
Oh god, the state of you new fans. You want to know the concept of a preview tag? Why it exists? How it advances the wrestler storylines, helps them with match layout in the singles bout while keeping the competitors fresh?
>>
North side of the building looks like Chase's hairline
>>
>>20002900
Yuya and Callum probably
>>
>Shota literally did not change after last year's angle
This dude is beyond hopeless
>>
Alright Shota is looking good I'll give him that
>>
>does a decent looking move
>screams out (please clap)
>>
why isn't tanahashi in the tournament this year?
>>
>>20002926
Heard he retired
>>
>>20002926
Gee I dont know
>>
boltin better squash this shitter in 5 minutes
>>
>>20002873
yes.
You shouldn't stall things, just because you don't have anything more to offer.
>>
Nagata should have beat Zane Jay more in the dojo
>>
MAKE WAY
MAKE WAY
MAKE WAY
FOR THE PRINCE
>>
Zane can't talk that's disappointing
>>
>about to wrestle Shingo
>brings out a stuffed monkey
>>
Jake Chungus
>>
Cracked Shingo's ribs now brings out a monkey. This nigga crazy
>>
Oskar sounds at least slightly more threatening when screaming in German
>>
The last time the Japanese got behind a German this much there were some problems
>>
Man, Drilla has the look
>>
is this the most dimeless the jr division's ever been?
>>
>>20003031
if Togo was champion over douki it would fix a good amount of issues
>>
Taichi should win. That new robe said enough for me.
>>
wato sucks
>>
>>20003031
I have not been able to give a single fuck about DOUKI since he's returned no matter how many belts and how long his reigns are
>>
i watch for oiwa sexo and only oiwa sexo
>>
anal for oiwa
>>
This is the only young guy rivalry that feels like it has some real spice to it right now
>>
BOMBACLAAT
>>
Do you think Tsuji loses the title to Goto or ZSJ? Gedo does like to go round in circles sometimes
>>
those gaijin are loving my nigga ice
>>
Yuto "Man of the people" Ice
>>
kind of wild just how over the brothers are, tag guys back like half a year and miles ahead of some of the other young guys who've been cooking for years
>>
>>20003105
Too bad they're both jobbing in the 1st round
>>
Hell yeah big jag pin
>>
Will Wolf be able to carry Fale to an okay match?
>>
dont do this shit again man...

this feud means nothing without evil
>>
At least let him take his tshirt off
>>
>Hontai leaves Wolf to get jumped AGAIN
This is fucking retarded
>>
>>20003113
The TV guys want to do Dominion and Wolf is central to that, my guess is they want to carry the WK story to there while Wolf gets his reps in. Doesn't mean I want to watch it either way though
>>
>>20003127
Maybe they are keeping his Tshirt on until then, so he can get a pop by removing it and revealing a Brock Lesnar style chest tattoo
>>
>>20003124
Chris's best excuse is that Hontai is humbling Wolf which doesn't explain why they dont even help each other
>>
Oh god he's actually losing
>>
VISUAL PIN
VISUAL PIN
>>
Jesus Christ man come the fuck on
>>
This company fucking sucks
>>
Kill Tanahashi.
>>
Kek Fale winning a tournament match in 2026. Wolf needs a faction that will actually help him damn.
>>
>>20003138
>guy who shaved his head and took the young lion approach needs to check his ego
>>
i'm not sure what's worse, them burying a guy they supposedly want to make a star, or that i have to watch another fale match now
>>
Not a single round 2 show has 2 good looking tournament matches waiting. 1 good one and something either skippable or dogshit and yet they couldn't let us see Wolf vs Shingo.
>>
>>20003159
>they couldn't let us see Wolf vs Shingo
They are saving his match ups for his first G1 (who am I kidding, his block with just be full of HOT members who'll interfere in all his matches )
>>
So many problems would be fixed if New Japan decided to learn how to actually have an annoying heel faction and make it watchable.
>>
>>20003180
yeah like old BC Suzuki-gun the early days of LIJ and the early days of Chaos
>>
put o-khan in the main event and shocker the crowd is only mildly into it
>>
>>20003183
None of those factions are this shitty, especially judging how you can only refer to each other their "early days".
>>
>>20003190
you said annoying heel faction that made it watchable. Those are genuine examples of that.
>>
good match
>>
>>20003194
Right man won also
>>
>>20003192
Those are all unironically better factions just in their "early days" over 6 years of a treadmill heel faction without the one DIMES member they had
>>
>>20003199
Suzuki-gun was still pulling some bs in 2017, far from their early days. Same with the old BC.[spoiler]it just never leaked into the main event is all[/sp]
>>
>Uemura blew his promo but the crowd loves him anyway and cheer for him to redo it
This guy has potential
>>
>>20003202
Even Suzukigun in NOAH is better than House of Torture in 2026 dude lol. Imagine riding for this shit group when the guy who hard carried it bailed on them to fuck his wife in Orlando
>>
>>20003208
Dude, I'm not arguing for HoT. I'm just pointing out other annoying heel faction that WORKED. I'M AGREEING WITH YOU YOU DUMBASS!
>>
Time to strap the rocket to Yuya already

He CLEARLY needs 10 more years of seasoning!
>>
should not have been further than
>>
Hold up, did they really have Bad Luck Fale go over their supposed "savior of the company" in the first round?
>>
>>20003031
Turning Douki heel and throwing him in HOT was one of the dumbest fucking things they’ve ever done.
