I thought this was supposed to be good. Why the fuck is a tombstone a transition move?

The bridging German being a finisher is one of the things from the old "muh rasslin is real" days that was never watered down in Japan like America did
Shoot German suplexes can break your neck

True, but that's a different point
The implication that lariats or suplexes don't deserve to be finishers is dumb. "Why is a piledriver a transitional move" is a valid point

It's supposed to be an escalation of stronger and stronger moves. Imagine Brock hitting multiple F5's only to win with a normal German suplex

Using high impact moves as transitional spots aside, you can't sit there and tell me this shit doesn't look effective.
A good Lariat or Clothesline will ALWAYS mog 80% of finishes.

Sure.
>Usually occur deep into a match
>Often a sign that we're entering the third act
>Both men are exhausted and beaten
>However, in a display of "Muh Fighting Spirit" they exchange blows
>If done by two particularly savvy and psychology-heavy wrestlers, they make each strike look like they're putting everything into it
>You often see crazy follow-throughs and stumbles/loss of balance, which comes back to bite them when the person getting hit powers through for a counter-hit they're unable to defend against.
>Repeat for about 1-3 minutes, obviously with variations in rhythm and fluctuations in flow
>Look tough as hell while selling the exhaustion of a match by not going for big spots for a while.

It's essentially a late-stage test of strength, except with strikes instead of holding hands. Nobody ever goes "Lol, why would you willingly lock up with another wrestler?"

I agree but New Japan still way over uses it, honestly. It should be a spot that shows up maybe twice in a night at most. Doesn't bother me too much, but it would be better if it were more restrained.

No it's not. It's supposed to be wearing down your opponent until a vicious clothesline leaves them too dazed to kick out. Problem with a lot of western wrestling is it's either a roll up where the guy is kicking like crazy or a finisher where they're dead for 30 seconds after the fact. Never or rarely is it them figuratively failing to make the 10 count because they're loopy and struggling to regain composure.

No, he's right.
As much as I enjoyed Kenny and Ibushi's in-ring work, the overall Bullet Club/Elite angle, especially with Cody coming along, was so everpresent while not being very interesting.
Shoutouts to Punished Okada, though. That was fun.

Imagine thinking NJPW got bad after Kenny and his gay buddies left kek
They had bigger attendance numbers in 2019 than any year with Kenny on top
Cody and the Young Bucks were never over in Japan either
2019 roster had Shingo, Moxley, KENTA, Taichi in the heavyweights. Look at all the people that flourished after Kennetty and his butt lover friends left.
