GDT: New Japan Thread - Life Post-Okada

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Someone is standing behind Bayley too, that's gotta be Naomi.

Also, it's probably worth mentioning that Okada and CM Punk are currently in the same room.

Apparently they’ve never shared a meal before. At least in public.

he was so underrated in TNA, glad he’s getting the shine he deserved all these years later
 
While I'm rather new to NJPW, from the little I've seen out of the many guys in the BOSJ, I'm pulling for a Desperado/Bailey final.

I'm a pretty big fan of Bailey. Actually, watching him wrestle Chris Sabin on Impact right now and he's had a some excellent matches with Jon Gresham the past few months too. I'd love to see him in AEW eventually.
 
Not surprised with Wato winning. They're positioning him as a significant piece to the future of their Jr. division.

I did not expect Titan to win though. He's awesome though so I ain't complaining even if I've latched onto Desperado quite a bit.

Both matches were a very fun watch.
 
Bullet Club should have died with Jay White. This Finlay era already seems like it's going to suck and IDK why HoT continues to be under that umbrella, but they suck anyway.

With ELP out KENTA and Ishimori are the only redeeming members left.

Seems they might be teasing kicking Chase Owens and getting rid of the old guard completely too (wheres Fale been BTW?)



Can't wait to watch the ELP/Okada match later on.

The new era of BC is a lot more interesting since they added all the younger members like Kidd, Coughlin, Connors, and Maloney.
 
This tournament is making me really appreciate Taichi. Dude's had phenomenal matches with Ospreay and Okada. I get it's Ospreay and Okada, but he's still awesome regardless.
 
Ospreay/ELP was f***ing fantastic and my match of the tournament.

I wish Kiyomiya made it to the bracket. Was really hoping to see him and Okada slugging it out. Not big on Hikuleo but eh it's whatever.

Old enough to remember Watanabe (EVIL) vs Steen in one of Steen’s last ROH matches

Pretty wild to see how far he’s come
