NJPW Dominion - June 15, 2025

[Kairi HoHo]

I guess Uemura will get his win back in the G1 Climax but they could of had Uemura lose better than that

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Oh come on Kanemaru all you need is a Bottle of Jack and you'll be fine

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Jesus man Douki being apart of HOT is the worse thing you could of done with his return. I will say though SK joining Hate or Oedo Tai at the time I thought the same thing and she became the best thing within the group with Momo. Surely Douki is going to be the best thing in HOT it's just a matter of time before he kicks all of them to the Curb as well.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Douki went from being possibly a multi time Junior Champion and above to possibly going to be stuck being Tag and Trios Champion for a good while after this decision.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Newman putting the Tag Title in the grill of Taichi is fucking insane. I swear the disrespect of people towards Taichi and this kid who has done shit in New Japan acting like he's somebody now?

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Who would of thought Taichi and Ishii being Tag Champions in 2025. Now make Taichi a Singles Champion by the end of 2025 and I might be happy with New Japan.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Doing a Suplex on the Ramp you fiend Oleg!

 

[Kairi HoHo]

What a performance for Oleg and he gets the biggest win of his Career. Takeshita is going to always leave you happy with his Matches I hope this loss means a G1 Climax win because if not I'm raging.

I'm at the heavyweight tag title match now, so I haven't seen most of them yet but unless execution is bad, I'm very happy with the title changes I see happen. Only thing that pisses me off is Douki but so far the House of Torture is successfully more interesting than they have been in history, and this big war between them and Hontai could actually be a big draw, where War Dogs fit in, not sure tho

They have tried to make HOT a big Heel act for ages it feels like through EVIL it didn't work nor will it work because theirs a lack of workers within it and the Booking for them never changes imo. They can put 20 guys in HOT it's not gonna change anything for them Douki is the only guy worth a damn in there right now I feel. Probably one of the most boring Dog Collar Matches I've watched outside a few moments especially late.

The Death of the War Dawgs give me a break Finlay and EVIL are in Block A of the G1 stop the nonsense

What I think Gedo finally realized sometime last year or a year or so ago is that they can stay over as heels without winning, just give them a big day like today with stakes that don't actually matter, then have them lose the matches that do. I'm not gonna say it's my favorite or anything but it's a working formula

The only thing that needs to die is the war dogs branding. I never hated it, but without house of torture in the bullet club or any other sub units that aren’t the war dogs there’s no point in calling the entire group bullet club war dogs.

Also are the war dogs, baby faces now, considering how house of torture were very clearly the heels in that whole angle?

Plus, you need fodder for either the trio belts or all the eight man tags that every show generally has.

Yes very much so, even David Finlay and I think it has helped him a lot (pending my thoughts on how he loses today since I haven't watched yet bc that sounds dumb)

It was on the back of Gabe Kidd blowing up in popularity but the way they did the house of torture turning on them was really good
