Holy crap, I’ve seen hulking up in many ways, wrestlers with multiple personas, and vicious wrestlers.
But nothing scares me more than happy go lucky galaxy brain Ibushi turning into a no selling, dead eyed monster mid-match.
I think the first time I remember him doing that was against Nakamura in G1 Climax 23. At the end of the match, Nakamura was just going to town on him, and then Ibushi just snapped; started beating the junk outta him.
Anyone else get hyped/scared when this happens? Hell, do other wrestlers have such a convincing shift in mental state and wrestling style mid match like this?

The idea of evil, sadist/masochist Ibushi is my favourite concept in wrestling today. He does it so well, a modern Suzuki. It won’t happen, but god I wish it would.

He beat the absolute shit out of Okada and Okada will be feeling that today because those punches and kicks were stiff as f****
When Ibushi goes into that trance you know you're f****ed

It's like you know you are going to get it but you never thought you were going to get it that bad Even if you want to give Ibushi a receipt, the dude pain threshold is f***ing high and he just eats that |

That shift has made so many matches great. His G1 2018 bouts with Ishii and Goto stick out, and were my favorites of that tournament.
Hell, it's the only thing memorable about the triple threat with Omega/Cody. Kenny starts apologizing for breaking a pinfall, and Ibushi just snaps and murders him.
I made a joke in the WK thread about Ibushi-gun, but it's one of those jokes where you wish it would actually happen.

It's what makes him someone that is a good main eventer.
There are a lot of great wrestlers on the planet in 2020, but what makes some of them have main event potential is being able to go into another gear and display a mean streak.

And just be able to adjust themselves in general Ibushi went from adoring babyface to Terminator Killer real quick and you believed he could f*** Okada up without question which is key because no everyone can have that aura |

Yea, it is something about "real athletes" that can turn up that extra gear and not like they are faking it. Ronda was able to do it as well, go to the ring smiling and as soon as the bell rings it is the mean bitch face Riddle is crazy tho because you would never think he can turn up like that. Makes me look forward to his heel turn because I believe he can kill it in that role |

Faces going viscous is great. Bret was good at it, Sting was good at it, Steamboat was a master at it.

It was my favorite moment of the match last night and favorite time I’ve seen him do it. Maybe because of the stakes/event.
It’s some unsettling “You can’t hurt me. Go ahead and try. I’m going to murder you” shit. And made even more effective cause guy seems like he’s legit a lovable sweetheart, yet he comes off authentic in the switch too
Him shielding redshoes from Okada while daringly and flippantly kicking Okada to boos was engraved in my mind.

I just wish he won, but I knew he wasn’t going to after Okada got that godlike entrance.
Easily my favorite wrestler for years now.
