Indys vs Japan (Which Is Better)

[Rell]

This is the real question...Who cares about TNA vs WWE, its basically Shit vs Crap because in the end they're both brown, and sometimes green with small pieces of corn...wait, what? Back to the task at hand, I'm going with Japan, a place where wrestling is actually respected, and not made into a joke. Japan is probably the only place where the blend of comedy and wrestling are done perfectly. I'm a huge fan of the strong style, its more realistic and the danger levels are way higher than what we see in the states.

HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!!

Its tough to say... Both are good, but I prefer the Indies because its easier to follow, what with the language barrier and whatnot.

 

[Rell]

Language barrier? Your telling me Japanese isnt a common language for us Americans

Question: Is Chikara a rip of Osaka Pro?


Answer: Yup

I'll throw my 2 cents in.

I feel Japanese wrestling has better matches, BUT the overall US product is better. I perfer a more storyline based product, and i really havent seen much of the japanese storylines, but i would imagine it would be better in the US. So I'd say the indys. Also Japanese tends do more much much more tag wrestling, which is entertaining, but at the same time can get repetitive.

 

[Rell]

I'd say NJPW, AJPW & Osaka Pro are more American like when it comes to "storylines" NOAH and Dragon Gate have more of a pure wrestling feel, I'd compare it to ROH. I have a bunch of full Dragon Gate & NOAH and there is definitely angles or storylines (w/e you want to call them) the problem is we (Americans) cant understand whats going on due to like soulpower said, Language barriers.

AJPW=WWE

Mutoh feels the need to patent his booking style after the WWE's booking style. Though they have some talented guys on their roster, I just can't get into it.

 

[therazar]

you need to look at this way NJPW and NOAH shouldn't be compared to indy because its like TNA and WWE NJPW draws 50,000 people NOAH draws 10,000

iprefer japan,because of the deathmatches they have are amazing, and a match with flaming weapons and ring once, and then again i might prefer indies because the atleticsism they bring better that wwe and tna because of the different styles of rasslin the have,so i would say indy wrestling.:thumbsup:

 

[Rell]

Deathmatches are actually one thing I dislike, CZW and BJPW are eh...not my cup of tea

czw is only 33% hardcore its mostly highflying spots with a few hardcore matchs im glad there going away from it

 

[The A-man]

Wrestling in Japan is made to look more realistic so you have guys over there fighting stiff and not pulling punches. They also rely mainly on high-flying and submissions moves to and drama to their matches. As a whole, the japanese do treat the world of professional wrestling (or Purofesshonaru Resuringu, usually abbreviated to Puroresu as they call it) as a legit sport. So I would have to say wrestling in Japan is a better choice IMO.
