Giving the rub from Okada's long title reign to Omega was a fatal mistake

NJPW peaked in the 90s. Massive profits and mainstream relevance.

Nujamals know nothing about NJPW before the 2010s because it's not the Meltzer-approved product.

In hindsight, yes, but only because he bounced for AEW 6 months later
It would have been fine if he stayed

Do you think Kenny regrets forcing Cody into that title defense now that his asshole has been compromised to a permanent end and Ibushi is crippled and washed so they're incapable of having a match fitting to end their story?

That was my first wrestle kingdom and realized New Japan wasn't that different from WWE when that happened.

Agreed they left shit load of money off the table by not capitalizing on naito's peak and not giving him a long title run

it's crazy watching nineties new japan and the crowds are red hot even when the guys just lock up
you compare it to the smark favourite ajpw matches from the same time and those guys are literally dropping each other on their heads and necks to not even get half the reaction of a new japan main event

Hashimoto vs Takada was fucking awesome. 65,000 Hashimaniacs going mental in the Tokyo Dome and didn't need to be a 45 minute epic bangerino.

Kenny thought his next singles against Ibushi should be a Tokyo Dome main event that’s why this match ended up being a 3-way, now it probably won’t even happen in Korakuen

Come on anon most fans thought Kenny and the bucks will be on that show when they sold out msg back in 2018 I'm sure if they tried in 2019 they wouldn't sell it out
