Tama Tonga managed to recently piss off NJPW with his Twitter antics to the point he got hit with a punishment as a result.

He posted an instagram video where he was purposefully littering, which is actually more of a big deal in Japan than anything he said on twitter.

Innovator 08-07-2018 03:26 PM

Well that and going into the crowd and putting hands on a fan

Ultra Mantis 08-07-2018 04:16 PM

That'll be the non social media part of the deal yeah, would not be surprised if littering got him in more trouble with the office than grabbing that fan though.

Emperor Smeat 08-07-2018 04:24 PM

Supposedly the fan he grabbed is one of those hated superfans that people were congratulating or siding with Tama online.

Ol Dirty Dastard 08-08-2018 10:46 AM

can someone give me a list of what Tama Tonga has actually done? Or is it just a gimmick?

Ultra Mantis 08-08-2018 02:03 PM

Responded to a fan on twitter who was sending him tweets saying "u suck at wrestling fuk u!" by calling him a pedo. Fan then claims he is a veteran and demanded to be treated with respect, to which Tama said he was also a veteran and deployed so if he wanted his respect he should have died in combat.

Called a bunch of marks "bitch ass hoes" and "flaming doritos", to which a ginger man got hilariously offended. Cut a promo on them after a G1 match telling twitter to fuck off because they don't matter. This baiting eventually got him suspended from twitter for a few days. He "blamed" the suspension on Roman Reigns, who he is joke twitter feuding with.

Posted a kayfabe Instagram video of him purposefully littering in a Japanese train station (They take littering very seriously in Japan).

Went into the crowd and threatened to hit an obnoxious fan with a chair, grabbed the fan by the chin and then a young lion "made the save" so he beat the young lion with a chair and went back to beating up Yoshi Hashi. Nothing terrible but of course this is the internet so some people are all OMG HE SHOULD BE THROWN IN JAIL FOR ASSAULTING THAT POOR MAN.

Mr. Nerfect 08-08-2018 06:07 PM

Hahahaha

Evil Vito 08-10-2018 10:11 PM

Okada/Tanahashi was fantastic as usual

Mr. Nerfect 08-11-2018 12:30 AM

How has Tanahashi been holding up? You hear bits and pieces about him being hurt, and it seems like he's been de-emphasized slightly, but then he also doesn't seem to miss a date and still seems to kick ass.

Emperor Smeat 08-11-2018 12:46 AM

He's been good health wise but don't think he ever took enough time off to heal or get his arm injury fixed. Observer mentioned a while ago he likely has permanent damage there.

Evil Vito 08-11-2018 01:07 PM

Naito/ZSJ and Kenny/Kota

Fucking hell. Just amazing. I need a towel.

Emperor Smeat 08-11-2018 01:57 PM

Omega vs Ibushi was amazing.

Ibushi vs Tanahashi was fantastic. Easily up there among the best matches of 2018.

Bad News Gertner 08-12-2018 06:22 AM

I'm so glad there are other NJPW fans around here. I've been glued to the G1 Tournament.

Innovator 08-12-2018 09:54 AM

Go Ace!

And huge surprise having Shibata second Tanahashi

Evil Vito 08-12-2018 11:10 AM

That final was astounding.

Evil Vito 08-12-2018 11:19 AM

Tanahashi vs. Omega at WK, assuming Tana doesn't lose the briefcase and Kenny doesn't lose the belt before then, will rule.

But it also adds a lot of intrigue as to what everyone else will be doing.

Okada/Jericho for the IC Title is something I could definitely see happening, but it would then leave Naito to go for the US or NEVER belts which, quite frankly, seem beneath him. Possible exception could be if ZSJ wins one of them. I'd still think Naito doesn't give a shit about those belts, but I'd be down to see that grudge match again.

If they go with Naito/Jericho again, Okada has more feasible non-title matches he could have, specifically with Jay White. But god help us if Bryan comes in - Bryan vs. Okada might just headline the show on their own.

Jordan 08-12-2018 01:00 PM

Currently watching the G1 Climax - CLIMAX... I loved Cody and Juice in the tag, Cody is the man right now and those two have great chemistry. Hoping they go on on one at the next Pyramid Show.

Jordan 08-12-2018 01:01 PM

These damn Tongan's are getting lot of heat from me. I guess I have to give them props for getting a real negative reaction from a guy who doesn't buy most heat that heels try and draw. I really f'n hate these guys.

Jordan 08-12-2018 01:06 PM

Wow the Bucks are gaining a lot of good muscle, they look great. And Matt Jackson is a great promo, feeling they are WWE bound for sure.

Jordan 08-12-2018 01:10 PM

Nick Jackson's hot tag with the combo spinning elbows and kicks was awesome.

Jordan 08-12-2018 01:12 PM

The Bucks are truly a combo of The Rock 'n Roll Express, Midnight Rockers and The Hardy Boyz. Amazing.

Jordan 08-12-2018 01:14 PM

Ishimori shouldn't have kicked out of the 3 Headed Monster that is a finish.

Jordan 08-12-2018 01:16 PM

Damn Gun Stun!!!!!!

Jordan 08-12-2018 01:18 PM

Tama throwing the titles, what a prick. My god I hate him.

Simple Fan 08-12-2018 03:08 PM

Would love to see the Tongans come to Impact. Feel like they're teasing going somewhere else for a biy with NJPW trying to censor them. Also Ishimori being in Impact gives me hope.
