If Newman was made a champ in the 2000s, NJPW would have been absolutely dead. The modern NJPW audience being cultists who lap up any turd Gedo serves them doesn't mean the product is good.

>>20591710
WWE sued him so he couldn't do anything in the states so he had to go to Japan to work. I think it was there that he became aware of MMA so shifted to that after NJPW fucked with his pay. He left the belt in his garage.

What's with this revisionism? Kenny and co. asked for more money and Harold said no so they left. He'd have kept them if he could have paid them

Big guys like Vader and Bam Bam Bigelow were aerodynamic too and both were around 400 pounds

Callum newman is the best wrestler under 30 years old you stupid fucking retards. God even the wrestling fans that watch the only good promotion are ungrateful morons. Newman is also at least 6ft tall which makes him more credible than most wrestlers

The Nashmeister is a lowkey funny guy

>>20590786
The problem is the Brocks, Nortons, and Bob Sapps all got run out of wrestling by pissed off manlets and the retard bookers who bought into the workrate meme, these same fags then infested New Japan.

You are gay if you prefer being bottom

The pic of Newman confuses me is he skinny, flabby, or skinnyfat?

>>20605506
>posts the gaped one

The root of the problem was Eric B giving Sinko Malenko, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Eddie, and the luchadores screentime on Nitro. All those dorks grew up idolizing Dean Malenko and hating Nash and Hogan.

>New Japan put the belt on some skinnyfat lad who looks like he was plucked out of the crowd at an indie show
>Literally his name is "Callum Newman" from London, England
>Looks exactly like you'd imagine a lad called Callum Newman from London, England to look like
>Probably worked at a CeX for a couple of months before he became the IWGP Champion
>He's literally just called Callum Newman
Lmao. What in the actual fuck? Will they just push any white guy who shows up at the dojo or something?

>>20605506
Popped me arse

Gaijins taking over NJPW was the worst thing that could have happened to NJPW and all the crap of the Kenny Omega era was the final straw

>>20609107
Gaijins have always been a staple of New japan.

>>20609114
And also the worst part

>>20609117
Nah

>>20590786
There must be a reason why they made him a champ

>>20609360
He's over with britwres geeks who spend a lot of money on junk merch.

Yes, get in shape and head to Tokyo anon, you'll be swimming in Joshi pussy

>>20609417
>Joshi pussy
Joshi only likes other Joshi though

>>20609417
>you'll be swimming in Joshi pussy
The only joshi I wanna fuck is in AEW though...

>>20608896
>Benoit
Had intensity that made him come across as believable, his only crime was being 5'10
>Jericho
Is charismatic as fuck and knew he had to get over with personality. His only crime was expecting to get a big time push when WCW had draws like Hogan, Savage, DDP, Sting, and Goldberg
>Eddie Guerrero
Nah Eddie was always cool, see what I said about Jericho and it could be applied here.

I will give you Malenko

>>20609360
Gaydo is a cuck for whities and that twink was the last whitey in his fed

>>20609360
He's Osgay's fuccboi

>>20607177
>I blame the inherent narcissism of millennial culture
It's because the marks are in the ring now

>>20610419
That's basically what I said, the first wave of it was the guys who came into the indies around 99-02

>>20607937
Man if Brock got into TNA around '07 that'd be something

>>20611915
>Brock vs the entire X Division

>>20611915
We'd have gotten a good Brock vs. Joe match
I wanna visit that parallel universe where Brock did go to TNA

>>20590786
brock a single good match in new japan

>>20609041
Still more 5+ stars matches than your favorite shitter
