The same can be said of all trophies. What makes this one so detestable to you? I can only speak for myself, but I found it frustrating that they seemed to be presenting it like it could be something fun and different, especially since NJPW doesn't do gimmick matches very often, and guys picking stipulations to compete for it, it was a concept that sounded kind of fun. It instead turned into just Yano doing almost literally the same stuff he already did, rendering it pointless. I think the gimmicks have helped Yano's matches, though, as he's been able to do more than just remove corner pad and low blow. The use of the sandbag to stop being slammed in the bodyslam match is a genius idea, both in logic and haha Yano's sandbagging Fale. Loved the two-count match with Bushi as well, it really got across how frantic and urgent the roll-ups were, especially with Yano and Bushi both being proficient with roll-ups. Obviously we don't want Yano to hold on to it for too long, though. He reminds me of the stupid crap I'd think of as a kid, like Rope Break Man, who would tie one of the ring ropes around himself to live in a permanent state of rope break, forcing all his matches to eventually end up in disqualification.

If they're teasing a Shingo vs. Tana NEVER match, I'm down for it.

Provided everything doesn't get shut down again State of emergency is expected to be announced tomorrow at earliest lasting until February 7th. There are reports it heavily targets restaurants and that events up to 1,000 people might be allowed--which is sorta weird but that's the talk.

The same can be said of all trophies. What makes this one so detestable to you? Because they had a chance to do something unique and interesting and right off the bat they kill it by giving it to a guy who gets gassed opening a door so he could keep doing the same tired crap he's been doing. That's not the trophy's fault now, is it? Even if someone destroys it, another will take its place, as it had already happened, so destroying it would be absolutely pointless. And you're on my naughty list for not being behind THE ONE TRUE ACE IN ALL OUR HEARTS AND THE TRUE KING OF PRO-WRESTLING! YANO! TO! RU!

Chiba, Kanagawa, and Saitama prefectures (prefectures surrounding Tokyo) had requested it so I'm pretty sure they would be included if it goes through.

Because one definitely makes more sense than the other.

Because one definitely makes more sense than the other. It's kinda vague, like they are saying possibly 1,000 for "event venues" and 50& capacity for theaters and amusement parks--one of which is indoors and the other which involves a lot of outdoor walking--, but also up to 5,000 people for sports like soccer is what is being considered.

Tanahashi has never challenged for the Never Title before One of my fantasy scenarios has always been Tana getting the NEVER title and being all snooty with it He denounces "their kind" of wrestling and will bring his brand of wrestling which is perfect and long lasting Smug Tana is always good
