>>15734697No, NJPW's trainees still have the best foundation of fundamentals in pro wrestling. This guy is probably overreacting in response to Shota, Tsuji, etc, not immediately getting the rocketship push and not being ready for it yet either, but they forget that the case was the same for Naito, for Tanahashi, etc -- none of them were formed that quickly and it has always taken time.
Also, this guy is not exposed to the absolute gigantic amount of indie shitters we see all over the place in the US on a daily basis. He can only measure them against other Japanese talent who are trained under similar systems, like the NOAH or DDT dojos, and is probably saying this in response to Takeshita himself, measuring him against the young guys for NJPW, not realizing Takeshita has been wrestling for like 15 fucking years or some crazy shit.
Was the dojo system of the 80s/90s a failure too just because the AJPW guys were so good?
Nah. Guy sounds like a new fan that hasn't been following very long.
