Wrestle Kingdom 16 Discussion - January 4, 5, and 8, 2022 on NJPW World

[Chris]

Like what the fuck is the point of a fixed sport if you don't

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Just finished Ren Narita vs Shibata and it was a fucking clinic for Shibata. No one tells Shibata no when he wants a real Match and seeing him once again good great in there give me hope for a possibly New Japan Cup or G1 Climax win to come for him.

Also knowing that Okada beat Shingo which I've said on record wouldn't make me happen now I'm really pulling for Ospreay to win tomorrow so I don't get another Okada jerkfest to end a Wrestle Kingdom Show.

 

[Chris]

I wouldn't put it past Gedo to do the 1 day title reign with his main belt for the WK gimmick....but idk if he'd do it to Okada lmao

I'd prefer Ospreay as champ too tho more to just normalize back to last year before he got hurt than anything but it just depends on how much he's in Japan too, if he's gonna be doing more Euro and American stuff then yeah def keep it on Okada

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Oh goodie now it's time to watch YOSHI HASHI and Goto try to act like they are at the levels of the Tekkers. Tag Belts on them are not they are one of the least charismatic teams that has been put together for me I hope they have a short reign.

Haven't started today's show yet but apparently NOAH invaded for a segment to hype up to next night and Mutoh did an Austin Theory

Seeing the full United Empire compliment with Will back in Japan - oh, he better delete that fake belt on Night 2

And to think the man to Mutoh's left with the white shoes heavily influenced modern day wrestling

OKADA 2 OP

 

[Comrade Khan]

Need to watch the tana match tho apparently Kenta took an insanely stupid ladder bump

UE vs. LIJ - was just shit, all build up no content

 

[Spitfire]

SHIBATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Spitfire]

A Shibata win at WK was great to see, although Narita is still a long way off for being able put on a 5 star classic in the Tokyo Dome.

 

[Spitfire]

Hoping EVIL win the belt!

 

[Spitfire]

EVIL wins the belt - by way of the House of Torture and continues to be one of the best heels in pro wrestling. The match was a good clash as well, when it wasn't fouled
