>>10044923No, it's not a fucking disingenuous comparison because saying Finlay counts from the start is like saying SANADA counts from the start. And yes, SANADA was more over than Finlay was, but it's like saying "He lost too much already, it's not believable for him to win" or something like that. They're different people now. New Japan is suffering a ton of change and Finlay is part of that.
The crowd reaction live is important, sure, but so is the overall reaction. Because the crowd isn't the same people at every fucking show, ya pinhead. And if the Japs themselves didn't comment negatively, then there's little reason to believe that it was some kind of dud. Regardless of how good the match was (It's a Tama Tonga match, Jay White couldn't get a good match out of that shitter either), it was a based finish that worked for me and for a lot of people as well and that will continue propelling Finlay up.
Finlay is less than 3 months into his run as a new man and Gedo has booked him well. Finlay himself has never disappointed (Again, Tama Tonga doesn't count cause Jay White couldn't get a good match out of that shitter either). Within the year, you'll either have accepted that he's based and you were wrong, or you'll silently stew while us Finlaybros thrive. Doesn't matter to me. Sorry I called you a tranny, though, I can tell you're a real fan.
