This is the destination for all based webms, brother
On tonight's docket: Even more G1 Climax action!
Weekend Webm Thread
I haven't got all the clips from this week just yet, but I'm working on it. As always, if there's something you're looking before, let me know!
so gay
Mmmmmmm you've earned a visit to wrestling court for that one brother
kek, I see you are as far behind on your G1 rewatch as I am. Just finished El Phantasmo VS YOSHI-HASHI. What a match.
I've watched it all, I just post it in order. This is from the Aug 6th show, but I plan to get through it all tonight.
>Just finished El Phantasmo VS YOSHI-HASHI. What a match.
For sure, YH has been knocking it out of the park this tour.
I've watched it all live too, I've just been watching replays to watch the matches in more detail.
These weekday times are shit for me, so I've been perpetually behind and missing out on liveposting. Going to miss the final three days, which I'm pretty bummed out about.
kenta was so happy bros. what did he ever do to warrant this from naito?
Bros....... He told us it was Extremely Large Phallus.... Have we been deceived?
Is it just me or is the puro webm threads the only time this hellhole of a board acts civil?
stop exposing the business
It's definitely not just you, but I also think it's sort of for a reason. The second you touch a western promotion or criticize any promotion, you open yourself up to people that're just there to bait and whine. These threads are (very intentionally) just about the good parts of wrestling and what I and others enjoy seeing, which in turn creates a positive atmosphere for the threads. It's become a nice habit for me and I know there're many others that spend their weekends here, hanging out and talking about wrestling. It's nice.
YOSHI has been knocking it out of the park since 2020
I'm sad that the time has come but I think I've finally reached the point where I'm tired of Ospreay's 30 second max speed flippy dippy counter spam sequences
They just don't pop me any more
based puro bro. Also, ELP has been massively entertaining and has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt he belongs in NJPW as a HW, but Yoshi has undoubtably been one of the MVPs of the tourney and I hope he wins the NEVER belt. Finlay's been amazing too. Hell, all of D Block has been great, even Yujiro.
it has lost a little lsutre but at least he only really does it with Shingo
I'm not denying that, I remember vividly how impressed I was after his G1 match against Naito in 2020. What I mean more is his match quality as a singles wrestler has been stellar, maybe even higher than I expected from him. His matches vs. Juice and ELP were top five contenders for me.
I think the point of those spots here is just showing their familiarity. There's callbacks in their G1 match to their two singles matches from 2021, which in turn had callbacks to their BOSJ finals as well. I don't really mind them in that sense, but I've never been a huge fan of Ospreay's mach two nonsense. I think he reeled it back respectably for the finish, though.
i cant disagree outright, but when its ospreay v shingo i get rvd vs jerry lynn vibes and it all kind of makes sense.
Hey, OP, what do you think of Ospreay VS Takagi getting the 5.5 stars? I know Meltzer stars are just an opinion and all, but where would you rate the match? Cause to me, it's not even in the top 5 and I'm not even sure it was the match of the night.
They have literally never appealed to me.
>but where would you rate the match?
Meant in terms of rating it against the other matches in this G1.
