LOL, is that Taka Michinoku!?

And kaz hayashi

The Transformers eh? Lets hope Vince doesn't see this thread.

When I see pictures like these I feel glad that I'm not a Japanese wrestling fan. Their gimmicks are ten times worse than the states. But I would imagine that they're well-received there, so...

What the gay?

....wow

That's stupider than The Canadain Destroyer.... and I just saw that move for the first time.... I think my brain is broken.

Lol. I'm pretty sure at least their matches are fun to watch.

LMAO, reminds me of that never-ending animation of that guy turning from a box into a cardboard-box-transformer thing. Rep to anyone who links the image.

Hahahaha awesome.

That looks like a gimmick Jeff Hardy created.

Is this coming from the next episode of WSX?

Is that HUSTLE?

They stole my gimmick. Don't believe me? Here's me on Valentine's Day:

It could be Hustle, but it looks like a joke match from AJPW to me, as that's where Kaz and Taka both are. Oh, and Xero, if you think that's how all of Japanese wrestling is, you're hella retarded.

Most feds in Japan will do the occasional comedy matches. (Ala Flordia Bros in Dragongate, Stalker, etc.)

The irony is, most of their comedy matches have better wrestling than the big 2 in the states.

Never said that's what I thought. I'm just saying the "joke" gimmicks are more retarded than anything in the WWE, TNA, and most other US promotion.

No shit. Soon we'll see Khali vs. 5 midget wrestlers in multi colored tights that form Voltron.

I see no boxes of twinkies

Destor is forced to agree
 

Looks like that stuff I saw on G4 TV. What's that shit called. Kaiju or something like that?

If you call that wrestling I will find you and eat you.

Kaiju Big Battle, I think. But I don't think that's it. Kaiju is even more over the top.

Kaiju Big Battel is a lot of fun.

Possibly, but they are also way more entertaing to watch.

*Once the bell rings.

Kikutaro > all other comedy gimmicks

Florida Bros. > Kikutaro

Khali > All

lol

Shitty gimmicks but good wrestling?

You see, Japan and Indy "smarks" can't complain about bad gimmicks, since they aren't the "focus of the show". :roll:

Yeah. I remember when mainstream wrestling focused on...wrestling.

I'd say less than 5% of Japanese wrestlers have "bad" gimmicks.

This isn't including Hustle, which is a fed based around comedy wrestling. Gimmicks in general are pretty much non-existent in NOAH and NJPW like you would think of them, and AJPW for the most part as well.

American wrestling revolves around gimmicks, Japanese wrestling revolves around wrestling.

Also, Flordia Bros own all.

Also, find the Shuji Vs Kaz match from last summer. It's badass. Thought I'd add that...

It's also the only time I've ever seen the Candadian Destroyer done realistically... (as a top rope counter)

I think you mean Shuji Kondo vs Kaz Hayashi.

And I posted it somewhere in the youtube thread. Absolutely Incredible.

I should also add that a lot of these ridiculous gimmicks in Japan are MEANT to be hilariously bad.

Page 11 of the youtube thread.

Everyone watch it now.

I also posted the Tajiri vs Great Muta match above it which ruled.

Really? Cause I don't. (Seriously.)

Yeah unless you were born in 70's or before.

Really wish I could, both have been removed.

MAJOR suckage. Don't know where you could find those online, but those are some sick matches.
