Honestly shocked Tony Khan let that happen. Is he actually a somewhat ok partner or is this just a harbinger of payback to come?

I think the Kidd one is technically still more embarrassing because Kidd was a Young Lion. Tapping out to the Boston Crab when you spent years as Young Lion in New Japan is the ultimate humilliation.
On the other hand, this is the big outsider champion at WK... Tough call.

That move is has some cachet in Japan in that someone can win a match with it and no one would bat an eye instead of how watered down it's become in North America. The same goes for the lariat/clothesline.

Anon, it's the exact opposite. In NJPW, that's the Young Lion finisher. Every Young Lion has beaten and been beaten by it. If NJPW were a video game, that's the default finisher you'd start with and you'd need to unlock and buy the better stuff.

Losing to a Boston Crab in NJPW as a world champion is even worse than losing to a Boston Crab outside of it.

Nonsense. He took a finisher and then two superfinishers Tsuji hadn't done since RevPro before finally getting put in the Boston Crab, which as you said is the SOUL of NJPW as a move. It's the very essence of what NJPW is all about -- hard-nose wrestling with good fundamentals.

It was a pure NJPW moment but casuals just don't understand it I guess. Also they did it with perfect psychology. No shame at all tapping to it.

It is true that he took a finisher first (Super finisher? The hell are you talking about?) but Tsuji making him tap out to the YL submission after is absolutely a humiliation ritual.

You think everyone who disagrees mildly is an E-Drone because you can't handle the fact that NJPW fans think you're a tranny faggot and that AEW is a circus fed that's a disgrace to pro wrestling.
I don't care what you think, in fact I'm happy about it because I get to lean into it and sometimes pretend to watch WWE and piss you off more, but ultimately, to me, you're a worthless AEW tranny and I'd sooner shit on your face than shake your hand.

Not really? It was pretty slow for the first half/third, it was classic puro main event template where they pace it early to build to the high spot latter half
Is he still more of a moves guy than other recent main eventers? Obviously, but you can actually note a difference between Takeshita working a NJPW main event and a G1 sprint/AEW style match

Bro, you had a direct point of comparison between what non move spam matches were. It's called the match right before and right after the title match. Both of which were miles better.
Sure, Takeshita wasn't wrestling like he was facing Bandido and El Hijo del Vikingo in a three way on a Dynamite, but that's a retardedly low bar.
