>mathematically eliminated all I can think of when I hear this is that one kino promo from Vin Gerard back in Chikara https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au6CZEwS9xg
>>20591514 i think robbie x is the least offensive of the bunch. it's UE that im not so fond of Eagles and X can stay but cooka da pizza from UE im 50/50 because now he's acting cringe and doesn't have anything distinctive from others white guys.
>>20591514 >>20591525 Out >Robbie X (Britwres shitter) >Robbie Eagles (old and tired, he's been in 8 tournaments, I'm tired of this dude) >Jacob Austin Young (US shitter) Stay >Nick Wayne (I assume they still want the AEW partnership >Francesco Akira (I think he's the most interesting UE guy, its a unit full of shitters yet he's the least shitty one)
>>20591575 >but i don't agree your point on Eagles, but i get it I'm just tired, NJPWs junior division feels tired and staled. Most of these guys, like 80% of the field have appeared for the past 3 BOSJ, Around 50% have probable appeared at the last 8-10 tournaments. NJPW is severely lacking in fresh juniors and they seem content with only getting them from foreigners or other puro promotions with a healthier junior scene.
>>20591602 it wouldn't be bad to include more outsiders from other promo since jr category is more varied in other promotions but njpw jr being stale is a comment i heard often from japanese who are despe's haters
>>20591640 I don't really mind it so much except for the junior tournaments. In general I think tournaments in puro tend to feel stale when are held yearly as it is almost always the same lineup just with 2-3 outsiders showing up
