Dale Bagwell idk how recent you are but he helped and worked out with Kenny omega long before the elite ever even existed. He’s not a “social bobble head”
I think a couple of people hate this guys for 2 reasons 1.- they aren't in wwe 2.- they are popular without wwe Haters hate popular guys for some reason idk
Being the Elite felt like we were watching friends having fun. It felt like we were let into a part of your lives. We got to see the highs, the lows, we followed you from the earlier days, to the success of the Bullet Club days, the depressing last days of NJPW, to the germination of All Elite Wrestling. I feel like it's weird to say, but it makes the viewer feel like they're watching people they consider friends. I think that is what really makes BTE click for us, the fans. We're invested in everyone in it, because we feel like we are collectively a part of it all. I hate that everything went down with NJPW the way that it did. The Elite is what introduced me to NJPW, and now I'm a big fan of that as well as AEW. It makes me wonder if they would treat AJ the same way that they treat Kenny, Matt, and Nick. I hope you guys consider a "sequel" to this particular WOTRORS! (Also get Nak to say something! I bet he has some great stories!!) As for myself, I have tickets to see you in Jax on 1/1! Right next to the wrestlers' entrance no less! So I will see you then, and I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas/Happy Holiday! Thank you for all that you do!
I know Naka is fluent in English, I'm assuming he's completely fluent. Well, I hope we get more moments with him soon, he's been around for so long he has to have lots of stories to tell! RE: NJPW - I've been enjoying it, but I have been watching for a bit over a year now, so I am a "new" fan. So I don't have a lot of comparison. I do try to go and watch some of the older shows when I can, and they are amazing!
I kind of feel bad for Nakazawa here, he doesn't get a word in edge wise. Just chilling there listening to them talk about old times and their friendship and doesn't get mentioned or get to talk at all. Next time let the man speak. But other than that this was really cool, and it was insightful getting to hear about the end of the run in NJPW, would have liked to hear about the end of the run in ROH as well, and maybe a bit more on how AEW came to be and when exactly you knew it was happening for sure.
He's a gentleman and a professional. I think Nak figured this wasn't a show about him, that someday he will do an episode, so figured he'd just be there and get to hear the stories.
So, are we not gonna discuss that cliffhanger? Mixed tag matches possibly coming to AEW soon. Maybe you guys just couldn't hear over Nakazawa's ranting.
My god I could watch Kenny and The Bucks shoot the breeze for 3 hours straight. Merry Elitemes guys! Edit: Also, I would love it if you guys could get Darby Allin on next, cheers!
It's crazy to hear the story of AJ, Anderson and Gallows leaving. It's funny that that was the moment that NJPW actually picked up steam and Kenny with the Bucks really shook things up
Respect to all of them all great talent and seem like really kool people outside of the ring. Kenny and the Young bucks and Mike are all legends. I think Mike was just happy being there chilling he's Kenny's best friend so he got to experience a lot with Kenny up until this moment. Much respect Kenny and Riho tagging agian but this time in AEW that would be kool.
Damn. I feel bad that the NJPW relationship ended with not the best feelings... Unpopular opinion, but I feel like there weren't any bad guys in the situation, just... business decisions. And it sucks, because New Japan couldn't, as a company, throw themselves behind another company just like that. And they had to phase Kenny and the Bucks out simply because they were leaving. I'm sure there were some personal feeling also, but...it's just business. And that part does suck. I hope the guys can get some genuine closure later on down the road.
A bit disappointed that Nakazawa didn't say anything. Wan to know more about his relationship w/ Kenny. That tease at the end though was classic Elite.
I think Nakazawa was probably one of the first people to actually befriend Kenny in Japan ( DDT). Took him under his wing and has been helping him since, Kenny is a loyal guy and is paying him back for his support
Nakazawa sitting there nodding his head and agreeing with everyone. Like he understands everything they are talking about and even saying. I know he speaks English but maybe he doesn't understand them that well. I know in Japan if you don't know something the best thing you can say to get through a conversation is "sou desu ne".
Wow, this one is my fav for many reason. Love how they explain their perspective in such a important time in their careers. Much love to the Elite, merry Christmas everyone!
I wish they would do one of these Room Service again, and really just a moment to look back and just go "Wow". I mean really this company they helped start is really becoming something special.
It’s pretty sad to hear how unfulfilled they felt when they left New Japan. I wish things could have went better for everyone cuz you could feel the discord all the way down in the wrestling and the storylines.
Yo Bucks, this was legit riveting to watch/listen to. I don't think too many fans have heard you 3 shoot about your ROH/NJPW departures like this. If you guys find the time, just do a once of podcast and go balls deep into it. It's an epic part of your history AND wrestling history, and it shouldn't just be casually discussed. Totally thankful that we got this episode at the very least, but dudes there's so much intrigue with that story. I'm gonna be completely selfish and say give us more, please! Hope Christmas excellent Bucks
I'm totally Nakazawa here. Not that I'm bummed about not getting a word in, but I got free food and I'm getting all these great stories told with me adjacent to the stroytellers.
Kenny has worked so hard, I hope you make him the top guy soon. I get no wanting to give any handouts but it’s a given that he’s one of the best in the world
This was kind of sad to hear how much kenny omega loved NJPW and how it went down for him. I love the passion he has for womens wrestling and the business
Fuck this was an awesome episode. Amazing hearing these three discuss their time in NJPW. This is wonderful. Feels like legit megastars letting us behind the curtain for a bit.
Love the conversation! The time period you're talking about & you 3 are literally the reason I'm into wrestling. Love bte , love are. Loved bullet club. Thank you so so so much for everything you've done
He was booked this way on purpose in AEW. So were the Bucks. They wanted to get the company and others over first, without people pushed straight to the top. Smart if you ask me. Wait till the end of 2020...Omega will be the top face and have the strap.
@@horrorfan4-life689 They still are booked strong though. Kenny has the tag team strap. They also just main evented and went over on the last ppv. Just because they dont have the AEW HW strap doesnt mean anything. And Cody just got the TNT strap. It would be dumb for them to be booked to go over everyone, all the time.
OMG, this episode contains TONS of info! Wow. Wouldn't be surprised there will be quite a few media articles based on this. :) Exciting. I wish Shinsuke, Tanahashi, Okada, AJ Style, Doc and Gallows, and more all go to AEW. That would be insane but I know it won't happen. :(
So glad Kenny got Toby Fox on board and everything, such a great presentation. Shame it wasn't fully used, but glad it was released anyway. Great conversation all!
Wow what an extra Christmas gift this was. I didn't watch it until the 26th but what an insight to a NJPW ROH fan who is now an AEW fan. This was very cool.
@@alexmagic8934 Still watch NJPW, ROH I gave up on this past year as for me personally never recovered. NJPW still has good talent though I have always fast forwarded the repetitive preliminary tags unless it has people I enjoy watching. They are still nice and top heavy.
Great video I just wish Nakazawa would give everyone else a chance to talk
He got to get himself over bro he ain't never on TV
I could listen to him talk all day!
Gives Orange Cassidy a run for his money
That was absolutely classic.
He didn’t even talk a lot lol, he just nodded for the most part
Nakazawa not saying anything, nodding, and eating food is my spirit animal.
Poor guy is the group's unofficial polite bobble head
@@kingflame81 lmao just laughed
Dale Bagwell idk how recent you are but he helped and worked out with Kenny omega long before the elite ever even existed. He’s not a “social bobble head”
It me. I’m Nakazawa.
Michael Nod-azawa
Lol good one
It's a Japanese cultural thing, to either nod along or make approving noises means you are engaged in the conversation :)
Noice!
They could work that into his gimmick
Yes
Poor Nakazawa was still recovering from being kidnapped by PAC.
Wow... So had Nick not left his brother's wedding early, he wouldn't have met Kenny and none of this would have happened... Crazy
Nick Corvello makes us think what would of happened, then they got hot , now they on fire .
Nick Corvello everything happens for a reason
@@BGLEE001 indeed. So sometimes it can be a good thing to leave your sibling's wedding early 😊
Some things are like that. Like a fan tweet about ROH selling out a 10K arena kick started All In which was big for the beginning of AEW.
true.
*PLEASE BRING THIS BACK and make it a regular thing!
the Awkward Nakazawa whom is there the whole time but completely invisible for the entire video
And he's just nodding to everything that's being said lol.
The new John Cena. You can't see him :D
@@raintech3253 you can't HEAR him
*Who*
He probably isn't at that comfort level yet with the guys. He'll get there though.
John Cena: You can't see me.
Nakazawa: You can't hear me.
Am I the only one sad seeing Kenny leave njpw, the look on his face was heart broken.
i remember WrestleKingdom I got way misty eyed seeing his final entrance as Champ.
William Polio It's more the way he got out that made him so sad, Njpw have bad business people
I like AEW, but Kenny hasn't been the same since he left. AEW Kenny can't touch NJPW Kenny.
Patrick Zara other way around
He had a roster to have great matches with n NJPW....N AEW who? Thats biggest problem...
two sweet era of the elite bullet club had some if not the best BTE episodes
Without being the elite there would be no All Elite Wrestling point blank.
Everybody is expendable, except the money mark.
And there would be no elite without the bullet club and the founder of bullet club was Finn balor. So Finn balor made aew. Boom I'm too smart
@enn bee 14* must have been a typo.
true!
@@littleasian1232 yes, but also there would be no AEW if WWE wasnt so shit
This gave me an entirely different perspective on Nakazawa, his career story is one of the craziest i've ever heard.
Same
same
Seriously, how can you not love these guys? I wish AEW all the success in the world for 2020!
I think a couple of people hate this guys for 2 reasons
1.- they aren't in wwe
2.- they are popular without wwe
Haters hate popular guys for some reason idk
@@Seagull_29 but who

I think he is dating kenny
jay craig I don't think Kenny is gay
Bc they talk to damn much
So, are we not gonna discuss that cliffhanger? Mixed tag matches possibly coming to AEW soon.
Maybe you guys just couldn't hear over Nakazawa's ranting.
Khan said no but maybe he changing his mind
Mixed tag match !? when ?
@@FrenchLeNoir Jericho Cruse possibly
Fuck mixed matches. AEW will have intergender and it will be amazing.
@@getpumped87
they already have one... not so crazy about it
My god I could watch Kenny and The Bucks shoot the breeze for 3 hours straight.
Merry Elitemes guys!
Edit: Also, I would love it if you guys could get Darby Allin on next, cheers!
Reminds me of the good old Kevin Steen show where they would just shoot the shit for a couple hours (and sometimes eat).
Kenny omega should bring the bullet club to all elite wrestling
Yes! Darby would be awesome!
Now that everyone is back on the road, I'm really hoping this series makes a comeback.
Generation ME was my introduction to young bucks and literally their debut they became my favorite instantly and I told everybody about them
Nakazawa just there for the free food
😂😂😂
He's bulking so he can lift heavier than Shida
These guys have made wrestling so interesting for the last 10 years. Thank you guys for working everywhere and all the time.
They haven't, they've made it worse than it was, nothing more than imbeciles.
It's crazy to hear the story of AJ, Anderson and Gallows leaving. It's funny that that was the moment that NJPW actually picked up steam and Kenny with the Bucks really shook things up
Njpw was picking up steam 2 years before The Elite.
Matt going full IndieTaker at the end with the "We have the power. Let's just book it."
Respect to all of them all great talent and seem like really kool people outside of the ring. Kenny and the Young bucks and Mike are all legends. I think Mike was just happy being there chilling he's Kenny's best friend so he got to experience a lot with Kenny up until this moment. Much respect Kenny and Riho tagging agian but this time in AEW that would be kool.
OMG! What a Christmas 🎄 gift for us BTE/AEW fans! Surprised to have gotten this TH-cam alert. SUPER KICK PAAARTAAAAH!!!
Kenny, Nick & Matt are a gift to this society
I love these guys... don't ever change Elite.
Damn. I feel bad that the NJPW relationship ended with not the best feelings... Unpopular opinion, but I feel like there weren't any bad guys in the situation, just... business decisions.

Always consider. The story has two sides.
Please. Bring. This. Back
A bit disappointed that Nakazawa didn't say anything. Wan to know more about his relationship w/ Kenny. That tease at the end though was classic Elite.
J Lebleu friends? They travel everywhere together and live together..
I think Nakazawa was probably one of the first people to actually befriend Kenny in Japan ( DDT). Took him under his wing and has been helping him since, Kenny is a loyal guy and is paying him back for his support
Bucks and Kenny: 15 min conversation
Naka: *nods head*
Nakazawa only there to drive home the metaphor how Kenny told Nakazawa to get bigger after NJPW told Kenny to do the same.
Feliz Navidad BTE 🎄
Frohe Weihnachten
What a nice Christmas present! ELITE ROOM SERVICE!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
ALSO THAT ENDING. You guys are some TEASES.
Always love to see these, not even gonna lie
Nakazawa is just there for the gossip.
Nakazawa sitting there nodding his head and agreeing with everyone. Like he understands everything they are talking about and even saying. I know he speaks English but maybe he doesn't understand them that well. I know in Japan if you don't know something the best thing you can say to get through a conversation is "sou desu ne".

I could just listen to Kenny & the Bucks talk about the business for hours, man.
Wish this was longer 👍
Wow, this one is my fav for many reason. Love how they explain their perspective in such a important time in their careers. Much love to the Elite, merry Christmas everyone!
I wish they would do one of these Room Service again, and really just a moment to look back and just go "Wow". I mean really this company they helped start is really becoming something special.
This was super insightful and I appreciated the honesty all around. Thank you guys.
Nakazawa steals the show
Wow. Great stuff. Thanks for the honesty. The New Japan breakup is heartbreaking. That whole Era is what got me back.
Immer bedenken. Die Story hat zwei seiten.
@@alexmagic8934 Thanks for going out of your way to respond to a comment and remind everyone. You are the true Saint of TH-cam. Fröhliche Weihnachten!
Thank you guys for clearing the air on NJPW. Im still hoping sometime in the future, everything can work out.
Damn mike came just to breath and blink.
Chaos theory, without the roomate of Kenny back in Japan, AEW wouldn't exist
It’s pretty sad to hear how unfulfilled they felt when they left New Japan. I wish things could have went better for everyone cuz you could feel the discord all the way down in the wrestling and the storylines.
I just got an AEW shirt today and I was so happy. That you guys for being so awesome. You guys are a huge inspiration. Thanks bro

Levesque fears Nakazawa
legend has it, nakazawa is still noddinng his head till this day
I think I saw the Young Bucks when they were Generation Me, when TNA Impact came to the Dow Event Center in Saginaw Michigan a long time ago
Nakazawa talks too much.
Metalpug79 not as much as Jake Hager. Can’t get that guy to stop talking.
Cyan Magenta Orange Cassidy talks way more than Hager
You talk to much, homeboy you never shut up.
@@standorito Beat me too it.
I dunno man. Hagar and Cassidy don't need to say shit and they get their points across very well.
Kenny has worked so hard, I hope you make him the top guy soon. I get no wanting to give any handouts but it’s a given that he’s one of the best in the world
Nakazawa sitting back appreciating greatness!.... Or the food's just too good 😆
Part 2? Kenny has waaaaay more stories to tell!
I like how Nakazawa just agrees with everything 😂
Christmas day and a "Wrestlers Ordering Room Service", how can you not love that 🎅!?
"It was the height of my career" - we see what you're cooking up here Kenny.
oh no, Matt & Nick not in focus but the drinks and dinner plates/bowls are in focus.
This was very enjoyable. More of this pls. Everything flowed nicely and kept me watching till it was finished.
The Nak definitely has the knack for 📺!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, Y'ALL!!!
#AEWForever
I just audibly popped for that advanced wars reference
The whole time I just watched Michael listening and nodding to every word.
Aew coming to the Prudential Center let's goooooo
Wrestlers on the road ordering room service - Young Bucks and Kenny Omega featuring a nodding Michael Nakazawa
Lol all he did was nod. Had it got any longer, his head would have fallen out of his neck.
Best room service vid yet. Too bad Michael didn't speak.
Michael wasn't apart of any of what happened in new Japan
Hell ya! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa (sorry if I butchered that) and Happy Holidays to all! Long live AEW!

Nothing makes me laugh like a comedic toilet flush and a cackle. Thanks Matt.
I could honestly listen to them talk about AJ and NJPW all day, just very informative and insightful
Man, I love Kenny.
Kenny always inspires me to keep on and never give up
Love the conversation! The time period you're talking about & you 3 are literally the reason I'm into wrestling. Love bte , love are. Loved bullet club. Thank you so so so much for everything you've done
I wish they still did this video series
Am I the only one who checks the number of subscribed members with each video? So proud of all their success 🙌🙌🙌
Kenny Omega is freaking out in the beginning of the video
Poor Nak, he’s just sitting there while the other three of them reminisce 😂 just nodding and smiling lol
Kinda sad when Kenny gets talking about women's wrestling cause he's obviously so passionate and puts in the effort, but it just isn't working.
!!!!!! I’m so excited for Kenny and Riho to team in AEW!!!!! ty elite for the best christmas present :D
I miss these.
Kenny has to face the fact that AEW Kenny still has a long way to go until he can match NJPW Kenny.

Dude I love the NJPW days! It was like being a kid again. The ELITE changed the way I enjoy pro-wrestling and set a new standard!
Yes! Mixed tag match!
I want to see Kenny and Lucha Bros on room service to talk about the PWG days.
Nakazawa made some really great points.
OMG, this episode contains TONS of info! Wow. Wouldn't be surprised there will be quite a few media articles based on this. :) Exciting.

MERRY CHRISTMAS BEING THE ELITE
OMG! Advance Wars on the GBA is fire! Best game ever Kenny!
No one:
Nakazawa: Shaking head
I need about 10 more of these with y'all talking to Kenny 🤘😎
