an old japanese man with a broken body against a guy that can't throw punches/kicks or even sell... the match was destined to be bad

[@xer05tar]

Naito is the perfect example of someone that wont rest and pays the price in the long run.

[@echobay2023]

His body is broken. Its the same with Tanahashi.

[@JohnDoe-wr9ei]

Lol love how much Naito just gives zero effort every time he wrestles in USA, he should have wrestled in T-shirt, that would have been even funnier

[@diendong]

Konosuke Takeshita is going to be in the G1 Climax tournament. Make him the winner. Period. The guy beat Omega twice.

[@kd17Burger]

Alvarez cannot PHYSICALLY utter any AEW PPV match is Terrible

[@jaredbrady5566]

Naito is what happens when their roster is raided.

[@Ryhan_Beard]

In terms of showcasing,, I thought Stardom and CMLL had much stronger outings last night than NJPW did. Hate seeing guys like Naito and Tanahashi look so broken down.

[@kenshiman90]

finding one fan in a celtics jersey to blame for everyone hating mone is CRAZY. vaquer comes off as twice the star as mone btw.

[@Asushlo]

Naito is the biggest draw in New Japan so he got the title back, why is this shocking?

[@mrrobert9176]

I’m telling you, that Naito/Ibushi match from Dominion (2019??) took years of their life and wrestling careers.

[@billcowan5539]

They need to push Takeshita the fans were really behind him last night , I was there live and the pop he received when he was about to grab the TNT title in that Crazy ladder Match was Loud

[@themastersword1621]

I can't believe they gave Tsuji this big presentation and return only for him to do...nothing of much importance. Easily the most charismatic young star they have and yet drag their heels.

[@MarkieDood]

This was the perfect stage to have Mox drop the title... to Yota Tsuji. I have no idea what NJPW thinks they're gonna gain from putting it back on Naito.

[@LordDogfingers]

Naito can still have great matches, it needs to be the right opponent. That's not saying Naito wasn't ropey as hell and not saying Mox is the wrong opponent, he's in a position where he's really popular but cannot do what he used to do. Sabre and Ospreay had great matches with him this year.

[@jordanbyford2693]

So glad Britt is back about time next up Jamie Hayter 🙏🙏🤞🤞

[@jorgetag]

Naito need to change his finish. He cant do destino anymore. Love the guy but he keeps botching his finishes.

[@TheZubin66]

Huge fan of Naito , was very sad watching the match with Moxley.

[@jimmyslilfella]

As a proud Bostonian, it’s scary wearing my Boston team merch at the Garden lol

[@richardchisolm8430]

Alvarez: That match was fine.
