Kind of glad Zero 1 did well

I thought Nakajima was one of your top guys? How are you going to have him eating pins like this (especially to Elgin)

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Could explain, but nah be wasting my breath.

it's more fuck Elgin from my end fwiw

Nah, I get that and even I didn't like it nor care for Elgin. It just bugs me when people, who don't know/watch NOAH, start assuming things or want to drag it down for little reasoning though I'll admit as of late it has been mediocre compared to past two or so years. Because Nakajima eating a pin here isn't that big of a deal per say.

I feel you, there's a lot of trolly NOAH comment as of late, esp for their choice of older dudes going over from what ive seen on the old reddit machine. def feels overblown

Yeah, that has been a problem, and yeah, they have older guys win like Mutoh, but then a younger wins in the win it is NOAH's formula of booking stemming back to AJPW and Kings Road. It is overblown, but wrestling fans like to attack each other so now, while NOAH isn't doing too hot it is the perfect time to attack. Though i find it funny when people attack NOAH for booking older guys to win and holding belts when several other companies due to the same thing or pretty much relay on them to carry the show/product.

PWR And Masked Republic Secure Visas For NOAH And Dragon Gate Talent | Fightful News

Top Japanese talent heading to the US in 2022.

Top stars from Japan could soon be headed to the United States.

According to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Pro Wrestling Revolution worked with Masked Republic to acquire a P-3 group visa for 37 pro wrestlers from Japan. This move will allow stars from Japan’s Pro Wrestling NOAH and Dragon Gate Japan Pro-Wrestling to wrestle in Pro Wrestling Revolution beginning later this year.


The likes of Go Shiozaki, Great Muta, Naomichi Marufuji, Kazuyuki Fujita, Eita, Masakatsu Funaki, Kai, Yamato and Dragon Dia will be available.


The first Pro Wrestling Revolution show featuring stars from Japan will take place in November at PWR's “King of the Indies” tournament.

“We look forward to what this is going to bring to pro wrestling in America and Japan,” said PWR Owner Gabriel Ramirez. "This will also allow NOAH and Dragon Gate to run full-fledged shows here. With next year’s WrestleMania in California, we are exploring holding a big event, almost like WrestleCon, but it will be PuroresuCon. Moving forward, there is limitless potential.”

Fightful will provide more information on the partnership as it is known.

Previously, Masked Republic secured visas to bring luchadors to America.
