Show looks awesome. Funaki winning in 5 again is awesome. Pinning the wrong guy but I love the idea. Maybe Suwama is taking the title. Hmmmmmmmmm.

Nakanoue beating Hama is a major shock. Is it totally ridiculous to think they might kick push him to the title?

Oh and Fuchi beating guys with a small package in 2012 :mark:

Basic elements like getting your leg or back worked over and then doing swan dives and moonsaults all over the place, completely no selling your opponent's offense up until that point? Let's not pretend Io isn't guilty of what you're complaining about.

It's funny, I've never seen any of these old timers complain about the Irish whip, a stable in wrestling and the most illogical move there is. You'd never see someone bounce off of ropes and run towards their opponent in a real fight. In fact, you wouldn't see powerbombs or lariats in a real fight either. Wrestling is not 'realistic'; suspension of disbelief, people.

I don't think Vader is acting high and mighty, he just has the opinion that there are fundamentals that Wrestling should have.

I agree with him.

The match was fun, but it was mostly two guys saying "Look at all the cool shit we can do," as they no sold each and everything they did.

shouldn't a Wrestling match have realism? Shouldn't a Wrestling match have selling?


Ibushi, AJ, Kushida and many other so called high flyers know that you should ground a little bit of what you're doing. They're Wrestlers not circus performers.

It hasn't been all Omega's fault, the booking and the untimely injuries are to blame as well. Matching Omega with the Young Bucks and making him carry and use all kinds of trash in the ring was a mistake in my opinion.

Instead of turning his character into something that can be taken seriously as a Bullet Club leader and main event talent (while still, of course, being Kenny Omega), it appears that they just turned up the comedy aspect of his character to a higher volume, to the point where he's pretty much just showing up with a T-shirt, a mop in one hand and a trash can lid on the other nowadays, looking more like the janitor than the champion of the promotion.



Far away from the epic presentation he had as the junior heavyweight champion:

Final is Taguchi v Ospreay

the big story here is BUSHI/KUSHIDA as the junior program, tho. Do they do that match at Dominion & push back the BOSJ winner's shot or vice versa?

Also wonder if they'll do the G1 reveal tomorrow seeing as they announced the field at last year's BOSJ Final.

EDIT: also Kyle wasted no time announcing he is going heavy

Daisuke Sasaki vs Konnosuke Takeshita for KO-D Title was really fun. Second half of the match was great, only reason I wouldn't nominate for the MOTYC thread is because I wasn't very compelled by the first half. I'm glad Takeshita is getting that green light push. Most promising prospect in Japan imo, I've always liked Daichi but he still has ways to go, Takeshita is ready.

7. KING OF GATE 2016 Finals: YAMATO (24:15 Cross Armbreaker) Big R Shimizu

YAMATO & Shimizu had a face off at the top of the show. Shimizu repeated his statement from yesterday. He could take whatever YAMATO could throw at him, but YAMATO had no answer for the Shot-put Slam. Because of that, the 2016 KING OF GATE winner would be Big! R! Shimizu!
YAMATO said that there was more than just KING OF GATE at stake today. YAMATO is one of the leaders of the current generation. They were still a wall to the new generation that Shimizu is a part of. Shimizu wasn’t going to blow past him so easily. The wall would only get higher today, because YAMATO was going to win.

CIMA addressed Eita after match four. It has been over seven months since OVER GENERATION started, and Eita has shown great improvement. His showing in KING OF GATE was remarkable. Wins over CIMA & Susumu, and the draw with Tozawa. It was time for Eita to take another step forward. In months time, New Japan Pro Wrestling were hosting the Super J-Cup. When CIMA was Eitas’ age he made a big splash in the J-Cup. He thinks Eita will make a great DRAGON GATE representative. Eita was grateful for the opportunity. He would be proud to represent DG. His confidence grew considerably during KoG. His wins helped him realize just what he is capable of, and he promised to absolutely show the world in the J-Cup.

Doi taunted the fans & the Jimmyz after the win. The Jimmyz sure sounded like they were going to go for the Twin Gate yesterday. Here there are today losing like a bunch of losers. No way they could challenge for any titles. When you think of the Twin Gate, you think of Naruki Doi. He was going to regain HIS titles. The champions were officially on notice.

CIMA celebrated the back to back wins for the SuperCIMA-Super Human-Dragon Kid team. He wondered if this was the first time OVER GENERATION has won on consecutive days with the same team. Anyway. The team they beat today are the Triangle Gate champions. This seems like as good a place as any to challenge them to a title match. After some talk, Yoshino accepted.

YAMATO praised Shimizu after the finals. He couldn’t believe someone who was only 23 was so strong. YAMATO is 35. When he was 23 he was barely even a trainee. He was jealous of his youth. Shimizu, T-Hawk, Maria, Eita. They would be leading the path in the future. The current and new generation would bring DG to new heights.
Shimizu said this whole thing was like something out of a dream. To make it to the finals only three years into his career. To have a chance on such a big stage. He thanked YAMATO for today. However, next time they have a singles match the only result would be a Shot-put Slam and a 3 count won by Big! R! Shimizu!

After Shimizu left, YAMATO turned his attention to his next target. He wanted to be Dream Gate champion a 4th time. He called out Takagi. He was the KING OF GATE winner. That gives him dibs on the next title match. Takagi laughed it off. This joker who Takagi beat handily during league play wants a title shot? To have this guy, this weakling win KING OF GATE. The company should be ashamed. This is just the worst. In any case, his answer is “Fuck no”. Fans can boo all they want. That wasn’t going to change things. The Dream Gate champion is superior to the winner of some tournament. YAMATO pressed him further. Takagi admitted that he is getting restless. He hasn’t defended the title in a long time due to KING OF GATE. He is eager to destroy a new challenger. Fine. He can have his match. YAMATO began to respond but was given a Pumping Bomber. YAMATO lost his edge. The war is on. He should be ready at all times.

GM Yagi came out to set the match. The battle to decide whether the Dream Gate champion or the KING OF GATE winner was the strongest can only take place on one stage. The biggest one of the year. July 24th in Kobe World Kinen Hall. This match will be the main event. Takagi was pleased. Finally, he can put to rest this bullshit that has been going on since Aichi. Garbage ass YAMATO and his garbage ass friends and his garbage ass KING OF GATE trophy were going to be disposed of.
Good for Eita though I am of the opinion that it would be more njoyable (for me) if the DG representative was Kotoka or Doi.

I mean I'm as big of a Naito fan as you will find on this board, but even I have little interest in seeing Okada/Naito @ WK11.

What more is there left to see between these 2 in this short amount of time?

We've already seen Naito beat Okada and win the title. We've seen Okada achieve redemption and pin Naito clean as a whistle. If the big idea is "Naito wins the G1 and, well, we're gonna do Okada/Naito for the 3rd time in 8 month but THIS TIME it's Naito chasing again because of what happened @ WK 8 etc etc..." then that's weak as fuck. Naito already burned through most of that promo and story in the build to the Invasion Attack match and that's what made it hype as fuck. Plus they've taken the "Okada can now challenge and WIN in the Dome main event cause he's never done that yet" card out of the deck.

If they are planning Okada/Naito for the Dome, imo it makes tonight even more puzzling because they already had it set up perfectly. The time for Okada to beat Naito clean and achieve redemption was Tokyo Dome because that's what the Ace does. As it looks right now, they flipped the script for no reason.

That being said, I'm begrudgingly fine with this result if it is not Naito/Okada at WK because obv they had to get the title off of Naito so they could move things along before G1.

For me it's Okada/Shibata or bust. Either that or Shibata/Naito, but the only way that would happen is if both Okada and Tana got injured and missed the Dome show.

The problem with Stardom's gaijin is that they are only there for 2-3 months so you can't really get invested in them. They arrive, job a bit, and then leave for the next batch of gaijin to replace them, repeat. Oh, and it doesn't help that most of them are below average workers.

While other joshi promotion regularly collaborate with one another, Stardom prides itself on having an 'exclusive roster' (save for rare occasions). It is one of the reasons for their success, but since they've lost so much talent in the past 2 years (for a number of reasons) they now have to fill cards with a shitload of gaijin.
