His win tonight at WK14 means more to me emotionally than any of you would think. Shortly after WrestleMania 33 in the WWE, I begun to feel the fatigue away from wrestling to almost not feel the drive or passion anymore. But once I saw a compilation of his Tranquilo attitude on RU-vid, this man right here single-handedly helped inspire me to be a more passionate wrestling fan again. On top of all this, my mom passed away late last year and every time she’d see me watch NJPW, she KNEW how much he meant to me as one of my only handful favorite wrestlers today. Heck, her last Christmas alive, she ordered me two Naito T-Shirts off of Pro Wrestling Tees & I’m forever grateful for them. So with that being said, I wish Naito nothing but the best for his new dual championship reign going forward within NJPW. Tranquilo...Assenayo. ~
I can totally relate to your story, because WWE has started to disappoint me around the same time, and it's Omega who single-handedly made me fall in love with pro-wrestling again. But Naito is so captivating, and like Kevin Kelly said last night, he is so inspiring. His loss to Okada 2 years ago felt so heavy, but it only made his victory tonight much more significant :)
So relatable. I thought I was done with wrestling because of how WWE was making me feel. Then I started watching NJPW found Naito and LIJ and love wrestling more than ever. It carries me through so much shit
Gedo-san really broke my heart , but maybe that is what he wants , this heart break will truely make the fans rally behind Naito in 2018 , making his (eventual) win all the more sweet , and at the same time Okada can break some fucking record I dont know......sounds like BS to me.
SaiyanZ's Wife on the 5th of January all I got from gedo fanboys was "look see! he doesn't have the belt so he can get the Jericho match n that spotlight will make him even bigger! trust gedo!" and now he gets jobbed out AGAIN on a huge show
I agree I feel this is what it's all been building to. At WK 12 Naito couldn't win because he was still trying to reject his past. Naito hated the IC title and treated it like garbage because it reminded him of his past failures. But if he goes to WK 14 as IC champion it shows that he's accpeted his past is a part of him and he can't leave it behind. Then he can finally overcome Okada and win in the main event.
