>>12375112>Unpopular opinion. If you’re starting someone out on Japanese wrestling it’s better to start with early Noah and then to go back to 90s all Japan.I'd argue it depends on the style their into and who they are fans of. Case in point, my favorite Steve Austin match is from the G1. I still prefer AJPW, though. Stan Hansen is one of the greatest foreign heels of all time. My first Kings Road match was Tenryu & Kawada vs. Hansen & Gordy RWTL 1988.
>>12375260Despite the obvious bait, I will humor you. I'd argue that Baba's booking was the better half of what made Kings Road good. He didn't book to setup for the next PPV or even yearly event. He booked for the future. He established younger guys without burying the veterans. Baba was a GOAT booker.
Tony Khan is not a GOAT booker. He clearly struggles with it. Some of it is admittedly not entirely his fault (Brodie Lee's death, Mox's rehab, Cody's departure) but still he is struggling.
