You could see naito didn't give a fuck and was preserving his body for the upcoming G1 and can't say I blame him why should he get himself hurt for a fan base that isn't his and only wrestles for two times a year at most
Yes, but let’s just remember he got it right once. My favorite match of all time. He gave Hogan vs Rock 5 stars. That negates his entire thought process. Athletically, that match was terrible. Dave bases his rating off of flips and dips, but on that night…..he would not, he COULD NOT, deny the power of the Hullkamania brother.
Most top guys have been completely lame and boring for years now .. just watched Seth’s match from mitb… god that dude is awful , zero intensity zero believability, these guys are just here to get paid
"They traded fake forearms ", "they went to the floor ". I swear, this has been a staple for so many AEW (mainly Plumber) matches that Jim doesn't even need to say those sentences anymore. He should just have it as a soundbite on a button on standby.
Nah c'mon ten years ago it was held by legitimate guys in serious matches, AJ, Nakamura, Okada, Naito, Tanahashi. Since Jay White won it the title has been equal to a IC championship...

@@gi79304the AEW partnership is the only thing NJPW has left. The reason so many older, beat up New Japan main eventers keep showing up on AEW television is because that’s all NJPW has left. They’ve booked themselves into a corner with their main event matches. They used to lean on Jay White, Okada & Ospreay, then for a brief moment were leaning on Mercedes Mone, and now they’ve all been signed by Tony Khan. It’s been over a year now that fans have been calling for NJPW to start pushing Shota Umino and/or David Finlay.
It's all about how he's presented. As in WWE knew how to hide his weaknesses and protect him from himself. Tony doesn't have a clue and let's him do whatever he wants.
I'm going to ask the same question I've been asking. If the centerpoint of New Japan's booking has been that Mox took the belt out of the company and Naito has to redeem himself, then why did he win the title back in America, in front of an audience that hadn't seen that promotion and wasn't there to see this match?
Because of Tony Khan and wrestling politics. The IWGP title got defended on a NJPW show once and then Naito comes out for the challenge and it's made official in the US. I agree that the redemption story should have been in Japan to get back for the company in front of the fans that pay for their tickets to the events. But, having the match defended on US soil is - to me - a control thing. TK like control & likes to remind people all the "good" he's done for the fans by giving them dream matches on home soil so they don't support the other company with a subscription to NJPW World. It was even admitted that Mox winning the title was to be used as a prop & give him the grand slam champion participation award. But the good thing is now Naito got the title back and the NJPW fans gave him a standing ovation up on seeing him. Hope this answer helps, somewhat. I do agree with your question. ❤
Chris Van Vliet asked who's the most over rated wrestler a long time ago, I commented Moxley because his matches are the same. I have replies on that comment saying you never have seen the territories and go back to watching the WWE PH era. According to these fans, every match in the Territory days was a Brawl and juice in underneath matches.
Right? 😂 Well, when NJPW is struggling to rebuild, they gave into Tony Khan's pressure to put Mox as the face & realized as the world of pro wrestling is on fire because Tanahashi said he is envy of WWE producing faster wrestlers that are TV ready, they realized their mistake.
I've never got what people see in Dean Ambrose, let alone Jon Moxley. I will say this though, I'd rather see Moxley more than I would Garcia or Wheeler.
As someone who was an unrepentant died in the wool Shield mark who liked Ambrose believe it or not it was the fact that he was able to sell and take the heats in their tag matches. It was mainly him or Seth that did (keep Roman strong) but I dunno, he had good facials and really seemed to be able to take an ass kicking long enough to let one of the other two hit the big move and get the win. Also he was pretty good in the promos as the radical zealot with a cause (justice in their case) so it all kind of compounded to give the impression he was legitimately the toughest of the three. Because he could absorb the most punishment and not get beat. It's too bad it's clear now from subsequent interviews that he hated the promo/character concept and probably thought he looked like a stupid pussy the whole time and wished he was just no selling everyone's offense and killing them. Say what you will about him but the breakup of the Shield and the fact that he was supposed to be positioned as a starter feud for Seth until Roman was ready to pay it off and he got the most over of the two as a babyface shows most people bought him as a sympathetic face too. He CAN be good, he just has to be put in a box where he's forced to do stuff he doesn't want to.
Prefer him than I do Rollins. Rollins just runs around the ring doing athletic stunts and no selling. Ambrose was really good in the WWE as a shield member, they turned him into a goof when he left and went solo though. TBH I don't think Moxley is any more offensive in the ring than most of the AEW wrestlers, Cesaro is phony looking as well. My opinion is, Jim has more of a bias against Moxley due to his GCW and Nick Gage affiliation.
@@ModernDayRenaissanceMan Can wrestle? Yeah. I'd let him wrestle on my show to be honest. He'd be the guy taking the moves that makes the star look good. He's got a face for radio, unfortunately, this is a TV show. He needs muscle and a mask or he needs to be the guy you see taking the star's moves and counting the lights.
@@hiddensword9387 So, here's the thing. Seth Rollins was my favorite wrestler for years. He's the most talented wrestler I had ever seen live. He had a really good character. When he stopped being the Monday Night Messiah and became this character, I lost interest in him. He's still talented. Rewind, they said Dean Ambrose was crazy, but that's because why? He talked to a potted plant and added too much sugar to his coffee? He's got a face for radio. He doesn't have a body that says, hey I work out. Seth has matches that make sense and Ambrose has none.
Naito is literally almost blind and he has bad knees. Again when young he was outstanding but it's just sad and whats worse is there's nobody young in NJPW who is absolutely better
I have said that Naito, Suzuki, and Ishii should have been the faces of the Western Expansion, rather than the Elite. Because Naito has a huge personality, Ishii was an ass kicker, and Suzuki was an ass kicker with a huge personality. Sadly, they are all washed.
he did it to himself especially with "bet on yourself" aew tattoo hold accountability to him. just cause he's your favourite doesn't mean accountability doesn't exist. all the mjf marks saying "it was tony" or this or that is like blaming cm punk for jeff hardy constant drugs and dui's.

It sucks seeing how broken down Tanahashi, Naito and Okada are because they were all great back in the day. It's said knowing this is all many American fans are going to know of them.
@@BiggieTrismegistusI think okada is fine physically but just doesn’t give a fuck anymore. Since 2020, he changed his style and has been boring ever since.
This whole thing was pointless. Naito's reign (which was very bland) was interrupted for nothing. They could at least did a story with Umino beating Mox to finally be viewed as the new ace.

They are marketing to those still within the hardcore bubble. They aren't leaving as they pay $50 per PPV which adds up. And hey there 👋 fellow NJPW fan! But totally understand. The vision for 'Forbidden Door' is lost. But hey, at least they now give credit to Tanahashi for coining the phrase! 🤷🤦♀️
Naito was one of my favorite guys in NJPW. Back when Omega was fighting okada there, I was a giant fan. The style must be hell on their bodies because he was moving like a 60-year-old man in his match against moxley. Moxley was obviously doing slow, plumber, moxley things... But naito just looked completely out of place. It's rough to see.
To be fair, Tony probably intends to bring Naito in soon. He was one of New Japan’s top stars when they were getting hot a few years ago and that’s all Tony needs, no matter how past his prime Naito is. Fans have a natural bias towards Moxley because he started out on the indies, so they overlook his sloppiness in the ring. Its the same phenomenon that causes people to cheer the Sandman like a god and chant “you can’t wrestle” at Randy Orton. But the novelty of Jon Moxley as an “unappreciated” WWE star can’t sustain him forever. The fact that they even had to put an outside promotion’s title on him shows how unfocused AEW’s booking is and how little has changed from when he was in WWE. He played second fiddle there and he still does in AEW.
That ending was the shits, I get miscommunication with languages but they kinda stood awkwardly grabbing each other trying to set up Naito finish which is pretty shit and awkward to do and take either way
Moxley needs to go to rehab again. Rehab on how to fucking wrestle, which believe it or not he actually used to be able to do years ago. Not particularly well, but compared to whatever-the-fuck he's doing now he might as well have been Bret Hart.
I don't think Moxley or Seth Rollins were ever viewed as or intended to be main event stars when the Shield was formed. I think VKM saw them like Dolph Ziggler, mid-card job guys that can work and will help make Roman look strong on the build up to his eventual solo run after leaving them behind. Because the Roman push was so obvious and fans rejected it so strongly, the guys that were supposed to be buried coming out of the Shield ended up more popular than Roman was and the WWE ran with it a bit. They figured out Mox was trash early on and let him walk (pushed him out the door honestly), and they turned Seth into Singalong Dolph trying to cover for the fact he's a charisma black hole.
My thoughts exactly. They were clearly the lower card guys in the Shield, now one is living his death match self destructive dream for wrestling hipsters, while the other is being overrated and over pushed in WWE with no discernible character and a nonsense ‘gimmick’.
Hopefully they can do something with it. Since Jay White first won it the title has become meaningless... Not really Jay's fault to be honest, but the flair was gone...
@@athanaskozhuharov9700I agree downfall of NJPW IWGP since Kenny and Jay totally changed I feel that NOAH is the best Japanese promotion currently right now
Brian, you're wrong! Tony Khan's booking does help AEW! You're thinking "help" means garner interest, increase ticket sales, improve rating, get bigger buy rates. "Help" really means sign more wrestlers! Especially if they're other wrestlers that might means something to someone else, especially if they mean more somewhere else! Look at AEW the past five years and call me a liar!

If this isn’t a six star match I don’t know what is.
Six star match and 24 in the Tokyo Dome.
People really thought Moxley was gonna be the top guy from the Shield too (at the time rightfully so, not knocking that) but look how far hes fallen
I remember that. He was viewed as the best wrestler and most likely the breakout star of the group
@@bootneyfarnsworth2844legit. Wild how things change. And people wanted Roman out of the business until like 2 yeara ago or so.
💯
this thumbnail is something else
That Papa Johns driver tapped Moxley in like five seconds flat. xD
Naito was one of my favorite guys in NJPW. Back when Omega was fighting okada there, I was a giant fan. The style must be hell on their bodies because he was moving like a 60-year-old man in his match against moxley. Moxley was obviously doing slow, plumber, moxley things... But naito just looked completely out of place. It's rough to see.
Member when Uncle Dave said Moxley was going to be the next Stone Cold?
I live for Corny's analysis of anything Moxley as he inches closer to either a stroke or anti anxiety drugs. Good health to Jim BTW
Mix wrestled like he does to piss you off Jim, and it’s working!! 😂
Forbidden Door should be every 4 years , like the olympics.
it should be non existent, like WCW
They will rename it Forbidden Door dynasty 😂 that’s the cool new word TK is using now Dynasty
New Japan already announced their Forbidden Door Dynasty show next January after Wrestle Kingdom.
To be fair, Tony probably intends to bring Naito in soon. He was one of New Japan’s top stars when they were getting hot a few years ago and that’s all Tony needs, no matter how past his prime Naito is.
Fans have a natural bias towards Moxley because he started out on the indies, so they overlook his sloppiness in the ring. Its the same phenomenon that causes people to cheer the Sandman like a god and chant “you can’t wrestle” at Randy Orton. But the novelty of Jon Moxley as an “unappreciated” WWE star can’t sustain him forever.
The fact that they even had to put an outside promotion’s title on him shows how unfocused AEW’s booking is and how little has changed from when he was in WWE. He played second fiddle there and he still does in AEW.
Moxley and his forearm punches. Last week on Dynamite in his six-man tag he was throwing forearm punches that was literally hitting air 😑
The air no sells em too..
That ending was the shits, I get miscommunication with languages but they kinda stood awkwardly grabbing each other trying to set up Naito finish which is pretty shit and awkward to do and take either way
Been waiting for this love any Jim video when it's got Jon Moxley in the Title 😂
This thumbnail..😂😂😂
Okada is the only Japanese superstar under 40
&he can barely move, but, his style is more old territory style that Japanese poruresu was trying to copy decades ago.
I remember watching Dean Ambrose and saying "he's one of the fakest looking wrestlers I've ever seen" glad everyone now sees how dreadful he is.
I thank you for making this videos because you making me laugh out loud everyday 🤣 😂 😆 😅 😄 😭
Moxley needs to go to rehab again. Rehab on how to fucking wrestle, which believe it or not he actually used to be able to do years ago. Not particularly well, but compared to whatever-the-fuck he's doing now he might as well have been Bret Hart.
Thoughts and prayers to everyone that sat through this trash match. Naito deserves better.
Naito really looked like he just didnt give a crap, like Hogan on the house shows. We already got their money brother.
I don't think Moxley or Seth Rollins were ever viewed as or intended to be main event stars when the Shield was formed. I think VKM saw them like Dolph Ziggler, mid-card job guys that can work and will help make Roman look strong on the build up to his eventual solo run after leaving them behind. Because the Roman push was so obvious and fans rejected it so strongly, the guys that were supposed to be buried coming out of the Shield ended up more popular than Roman was and the WWE ran with it a bit.
They figured out Mox was trash early on and let him walk (pushed him out the door honestly), and they turned Seth into Singalong Dolph trying to cover for the fact he's a charisma black hole.
My thoughts exactly. They were clearly the lower card guys in the Shield, now one is living his death match self destructive dream for wrestling hipsters, while the other is being overrated and over pushed in WWE with no discernible character and a nonsense ‘gimmick’.
@@SportPhilosophiesdumbass
@@SportPhilosophiesstick to soccer clown
Just pulling stuff out of thin air lmfao. And Seth and Dolph are nothing alike. Shut up bruh
Happy that the IWGP championship is heading back to the land of the rising sun Japan where it belongs
Hopefully they can do something with it. Since Jay White first won it the title has become meaningless...
Not really Jay's fault to be honest, but the flair was gone...
@@athanaskozhuharov9700I agree downfall of NJPW IWGP since Kenny and Jay totally changed I feel that NOAH is the best Japanese promotion currently right now
I think overall Naito is a good rassles but can honestly say first time he spit in my face we'd have real not kayfabe problems
Jon Poxy is what you get when you order Stone Cold from wish.
“Don’t say one of…..”
2:44 wanted to know your thoughts on Joe Hendry and the Rascalz returning to NXT tonight and Charlie Dempsey appearing on TNA Impact last Thursday
Brian, you're wrong! Tony Khan's booking does help AEW! You're thinking "help" means garner interest, increase ticket sales, improve rating, get bigger buy rates. "Help" really means sign more wrestlers! Especially if they're other wrestlers that might means something to someone else, especially if they mean more somewhere else! Look at AEW the past five years and call me a liar!
