All Together Again NJPW x NOAH x AJPW - June 9, 2023

Okada heel would also make sense because it's going to take some time for Bullet Club or another heel faction to really grow and become serious. BC Japan is still a bit of a joke, NEVER title or not, and I don't think you can sell any member as top champ material right now. I can see Heelkada beating Sanada and Will ultimately slaying his metaphorical dragon

If KENTA gave a shit most fo the time and was how he was in NOAH he could be top champ or at least a contender, but he is on his Shinsuke vibe nowadays so. Then again as much as I love BC, I do think it and CHOAS need to disband

 

[Chris]

Kenta coulda been BC leader if he gave a fuck

 

[Alexa]

Honestly, not wrong

Post Edit: I still think WWE broke him.

In a way bc I blame that too but I wouldn't say "broke" but more like enlightened him to the ways of making money while not trying as hard lol

Fair enough. I meant, broke more in broke his sprit than anything. From the injuries to when he could wrestle they barely did anything with him.

 

[Chris]

The injuries def hurt bc both times it looked like they were gonna give him a push, he was 100% winning the NXT title in Japan before the first one. And then after the second yeah they just stuck him on 205 which granted he was still going pretty hard on, he had a fucking great series with Mustafa Ali that doesn't get talked about enough

 

[Alexa]

I couldnt agree more on the Ali statemnet

 

[Chris]

Nuts

 

[Alexa]

Ali's 450 Splash is a thing of beauty

The reverse one he did for a time too was pretty cool but I think i prefer him doing the regular version, just so clean

The the imploding one was clean as well, but but yeah the regular one is fine. Too bad WWE doesn't do fuck all with him.

I assume the tag of all together again, is stemming from the fact that they originally all split from the same company and then continue to splinter off from each other? Really cool to think about.

Nah the "again" is bc last time they did a show like this was a charity benefit for the big earthquake that hit Japan like a decade ago and it was named "All Together" but thats still some interesting subtext of the three companies

While that is clever, it actually stems from the big show all three put on after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, and all the money was given to the Japanese Red Cross to help them out.
