Wrestling Thread September 1st-3rd/ Weekend Edition/ Mae Young Classic Available Now First 4

[Blue Mamba]

One thing I'll say about this thread is that it seems like there are true NJPW fans that have been fans for a long time whereas Reddit seems like a bunch of NJPW bandwagoners that only started watching with the beginning of Bullet Club

They all gotta start somewhere I suppose. I wouldn't have gotten into it if not for DCAllAfrican putting me on.

So what? Everyone has to start somewhere.

We all have to start somewhere. The more fans the better.

I haven't watched any G1 matches so far. I'll probably watch the final though.

 

[Case]

Anyone else watch all the Being The Elite episodes?..

I took it as Vegan propoganda. Alot of the claims made were basically Bro Science and drs have refuted them.

But we all can limit our meat consumption and increase intaking more plants.

Hell to the naw. The more meat I get the happier I am.

Not much, hanging with my buddies at the card shop chilling, you?

Go deeper and tie it into wrestling if you can.

I am listening.[/QUYou?
I'm assuming that was to me? lmao.

I mean, wrestling already has this idea as a concept like Hulk hulking up, your big baby faces drawing energy from the crowd, but in a more spiritual/cultural way you have guys like the Uso's do the Haka/Mana Siva Tau before their matches, and even some of the Japanese performers who have used some folklore based gimmicks.

I don't think it is unrealistic to think that in some way on a deeper level the performers believe on some sort of metaphysical energy transference. I think we as beings are already always receiving and sending that energy from not o my our see but a cosmic pool of it. Why can't we believe that we can tap into that or it can tap into us?

Sorry, not trying to derail, I swear lol.

So who does Muta summon to spit the mist? Ancient Shogun and Samurai Warriors? That is what Terry Funk claims

I think Muta just Innately can do that lol. Terry might not be that far off hahaha

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Off topic but since we are in the subject of spirits, what are tour thoughts on magic? No illusionists but actual magicians?

Entertaining match but sooner or later, NJPW matches will need to involve guns to keep folks down.

I mean how many Destinos and V Triggers are needed.

Don't like it

I'm legit scared of what Kenny and Kota might try to do if and when they finally have their match together. Main event guys are trying to one up each other with the head dropping and neck bumps month by month. The top rope dragon suplex from WK11 almost seems tamed now compared to recent stuff. Almost.

Also relevant, a spot from Kenny and Kotas first match a couple years ago in DDT. Kenny said it was the worst bump he ever took

Kevin Sullivan said it best.

Wrestlers of the 90s modeled themselves after wrestlers.

Wrestlers today model themselves after video games
