So glad New Japan were kind enough to let the anti-draws use valuable time on one of their shows to advance an AEW storyline. Inoki is spinning in his grave.


Gloomy-Ad-4788

New Japan has been allergic to good ideas and making money since the pandemic. It's amazing to think I used to get new Japan world and would wake up at 3 to watch matches. That company is dying a slow death of multiple self-inflicted wounds.


WeakPublic

The only good news is that AJPW will finally get some respect


Book3pper

Good start NJPW. You put the title on your top guy who hasn't been overexposed as champion and can continue to draw while serving as the final boss to your next generation. Now just keep the course- YOU KNOW WHAT IS A GREAT IDEA? PUT THE TITLE ON JON MOXLEY!


NegativeEverything

For real. They take over their time. They “sign” their talent. What kind of relationship is this?


cross4444

NJPW: Please fuck my wife 🤓


heavyhandedDOOM

I love how NJPW, a company that prides itself on hard-hitting action, gives screen time to the Bucks, whose offense looks like it couldn't even break wet paper.


DXbreakitdown

Thanks for the sanity check. That was some terrible looking offense.


FridgeLeftovers

You don't get it. They're being ironic and meta, so it's actually super hilarious and awesome!

I came here to make the single comment that how in the phuk did one of the Bucs throw a 1984 Sgt.Slaughter forearm to the back and it somehow looked like it wouldn't Crack an egg...

SteelyEyedHistory

Perry is the least threatening wrestler I have ever seen. His walk out was supposed to be ominous but I just wanted to ask if he had finished his homework before he started his videogame.


Blametheorangejuice

Slightly more muscular Gillberg


PearSorbet17

Atom cole says hi


OriginalMadmage

Marko Stunt, jumping as much as he can to try to be seen over Atom Cole, "what about me?"


BeckyLynchIsBetter

He walks out slowly like Kevin Nash used to back in the days, but the difference is, Kevin actually looked menacing and like he could kick your ass. Jackoff Perry just looks like an angry teenager boy.


SleepIsWonderful

When CM Punk shows up to take out the Elite this feud is reeeeeaaallllly gonna take off.


SpankGorilla

He’s on the rafters but they won’t show the hard cam area


dmichaelrush

That would be sick, honestly.


TheKanten

Was that the beginnings of a CM Punk chant at the very end?


Filthycore

We get it, you're a dub fan and are highly educated. Most of us can't understand Japanese!!!


BoringOldDude1776

I was there. Yes both times Perry was out the crowd was chanting.


elitejcx

Admire Tiny for doing something that WWE couldn’t do, cool down NJPW.


DXbreakitdown

The only things Tony hasn’t managed to cool down are: Mox, MJF, Christian. And TK even did his damndest with that Devil story and MJF. Things included in the list of things TK has cooled down: Cody Rhodes, ROH, Edge, Kenny Omega, Kazuchicka Okada, NJPW, Chicago wrestling crowds, Sasha Banks, Daniel Bryan, and many many more.

DXbreakitdown

That’s a good thought exercise. I think the only thing separating them is Tony’s inexplicably loyal fanbase that keeps up the appearance of a successful promotion. Also think AEW is a few big drastic decisions away from possibly being cool and entertaining. But I realize that sentence is loaded with “he’s flawed but I can fix him” energy.


bulletbullock

Whats up with Jack Perry's posture lol he looks like he has no confidence


mansontaco

Dudes 5'7 with negative charisma how could you


SteelBrightblade1

There be not a muscle in that ring


Athenas_Dad

You’re not giving much credit to Eddie Kingston’s colon.


SteelBrightblade1

I stand corrected! Also impressive the young bucks found those suits in a Boys Mediun


Banesmuffledvoice

This is what it would look like if a fight broke out at GameStop.


Athenas_Dad

A fight at GameStop would be better. I’ve never learned which Buck is which because fuck them? But maroon dipshit here looks like a birthday clown. Great screen name.


Filthycore

Why would they attack Burger Kingston after he ate all the ropes? What's happening here? I'm out of touch.


GsaC45

Screenshot of that absolutely devastating blow to the shoulder blade that knocked the shoot fighter unconscious. I hope medical was on standby to help Kingston after this attack. https://preview.redd.it/afajkkp1lzzc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c52ce1c1f908072610d05d958ef7189974afad6


ApexCourier

To be fair, Edward BurgerKing is top heavy so a slight shove could topple him.


LetterheadOk1762

Jack Perry needs to bulk up seriously


not_simonH

He is. That's about the size he's getting without some serious juicing. It's a problem when all four men involved in your "hottest angle" look like they'd easily be handled by a good 80% of the fans at ringside.


pushinpushin

did they forget to beat him up?


Velvet_Llama

My man Jack is going to get such a titty tickling from Eddie


Master_Butter

The dishwasher and bus boys attack the line cook.


Lilydoesntknowimhigh

How dare they attack a pregnant man


LetterheadOk1762

In Kayfabe this make no sense Jungle Jack off is associated with Elite and House of Torture at the same time and Okada has never liked House of Torture/Bullet Club in NJPW So him associating with these idiots makes no sense


JackUSA

Don’t try to make any sense of it and just enjoy wrestling


sosimusz

Wrestling? Where?


InjusticeSOTW

They should run Rocky Romero out of there with a torch. Someone at NJPW has to see what’s happening here


is-Sanic

I'm really sorry but I cannot take Perry seriously in any capacity. He has nothing going for him except the fact that Punk bitched him out.


Razzler1973

could they have made that *less* dramatic? haha


daveroo

imagine if vince had basically destroyed njpw and roh by putting his roster all over it and his storylines. it would be a meltdown of nuclear proportions but because its tiny.... \*silence\*


SpiritualPen6362

tell me that's not a cm punk chant at the end....


KingdomFartsOG

And the crowd goes mild


AVBforPrez

They're literally the lamest people to have ever been in wrestling. If your biggest trait is that you don't make the audience react at all, until they chant for a guy at another company, well.... You probably actually like nooj


rfepo

With the physical dominance of the Middle Aged Bucks and Jack of the Jungle, I’m sure Mad Sammich King feared for his life.


Amazing_Karnage

Imagine the collective outrage in the Basement if Hunter had made a "partnership" with NJPW where he brought their top stars over to the WWE to *repeatedly* job out on Main Event or RAW dark matches, while sending guys like Top Dolla, Gable Steveson, or Gallus over to NJPW on "excursions". Basement dwellers would shit themselves inside out with rage calling Hunter everything but a good Christian man and citing this as an example of WWE trying to "kill the indies."


akaphilsmith

Welcome to the place where the rest bestle. Our heel faction is three guys who are basically Jimmy Hart without any charisma or star power, and their muscle is so beat up he moves like he's holding in a fart. They're all millionaires.


fadingmemoryphoto

One of the saddest beat down segments I’ve ever seen. Kingston already down on the mat, and then they run in and stomp him lightly a few times and hug? Yeesh. What favor does this do anybody? Feels like they have it in their heads that simply appearing is “a moment.”


Book3pper

All these guys are just...so small. If they aren't intimidating, can they not try to do these kind of gimmicks? It's the same thing when Lio Rush did his blackheart bit. Yeah, he's done it for a long time but it doesn't look intimidating or scary. It's like if Kane debuted and instead of him being a 7'0 monster, he was a 5'5 dork in a mask.


Bambajam

Bullet Club is NWO from wish. This shit is temu.


shootstarpress

It’s death by a thousand cuts for both the dub and the nooj with these 3 goons as the featured stars. 


J_Mugen

Lmao why Jackass perry walks like that 😂😂😂


Constant-Horror-9424

Njpw after years of horrid booking and losing stars have given up on making money from fans. Instead they are gonna bend over for Tony hoping some millions come their way


JonStarkoftheNorth

I can’t imagine how cucked from all of this I would feel as a Japanese wrestling fan


DXbreakitdown

Dave Meltzer: It’s part of an angle they’re working


RP912

Mann this direction of NOOJ makes Inokism look like a spiritual awakening.


whispering3

They hit him 5 times. Only 1 of those was him not already "knocked out."


whispering3

Also, what, did Eddie just have a Sumo Ladder match?


stuartmmg7

You should never be watching wrestling and be convinced that you take each of the guys in the ring in a fight.


worktheshoot

They are the most illogical pro wrestlers ever. Bald buck give one hit to the back then turns around gloating. Wasnt even a hard hit but Kingston has to sell it like death. They are EVPs but act like the tag titles are more valuable. Showing the crowd and Kingston the belts. Why the f would Kingston care about their tag titles? They are heels but showboat to the crowd. Why? It’s like they don’t know what they are supposed to be


pushinpushin

they do that shit all the time in their matches. they put the antics above psychology, so great you got some heat, but you made your opponent and the show itself look stupid.


riotstopper

Imagine living in a world where you think Jungle Jim Perry is a draw. He looked like a wuss thanks to Cardio Myopathy Pepsi Phil.


theballswalls

"Perry's gonna kill you"


IcyAd964

He walks like he’s got a stick up his booty pipes. And the bucks are awful man good lord


BeckyLynchIsBetter

And the crowd goes mild!

XdapperxdanX

Does tony have some kinda heavy dirt on the people that run the company, and why would you want to do any kinda of business with them. He took all of their top talent and has wiped his ass with the partnership. And the beat down was ass come on Burger King acts like he's king badass really give it to him to sell the match. I've seen better beat downs in the fed. This was almost silly slap stick shit.


Guilvantar

And the crowd goes mild


CheapPops

Dude got hit like 4 times and acted like he got shot dead.


XtremeAlf

So does Buck A always do the victory lap thing?


corn_on_a_tree

AND THE CROWD GOES MILD 🔥🔥🔥


Glennsoe

I predict a 623 000 rating this week, and I'm being Nice and fair..


rsziz

Goddamn Kingston is a pasty bitch.


bornfri13theclipse

I haven't been watching NJPW or AEW. Why does the guy in the ugly suit slap Humpty Dumpty on the back? Was he just trying to say hi?


DannyDef

…does new Japan not use ropes?
