Comments on: NOAH’s future in the post-Misawa era http://www.fightopinion.com/2009/06/14/noahs-future-in-the-post-misawa-era/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:38:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ultimo Santa http://www.fightopinion.com/2009/06/14/noahs-future-in-the-post-misawa-era/comment-page-1/#comment-62644 Ultimo Santa Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:02:20 +0000 http://www.fightopinion.com/?p=4262#comment-62644 "But as long as Misawa’s lowrider doesn’t get blown up, at least they’ll treat the tragedy with far more dignity than Americans would." Saying that someone has more dignity than the WWE is setting the bar pretty low. Unless someone literally urinates on Misawa's corpse live on Samurai TV, it's pretty much a given they have more class than Vince McMahon. I agree 100% with liger05: Go Shizaki is an amazing young talent, no doubt. But if Jun Akiyama, Kensuke Sasaki and Akira Taue have all fallen short of significantly elevating the promotion, then Go has a loooong road ahead of him. “But as long as Misawa’s lowrider doesn’t get blown up, at least they’ll treat the tragedy with far more dignity than Americans would.”

It happened before (Naomichi Marufuji's first title defense) and i can bet it will happen again. And in ROH news, Austin Aries won the ROH heavyweight title, becoming the first person to win the title on more than one occasion. It was a given that it would happen. No way Jerry Lynn's title reign was going to last long. I hope NOAH gets a TV deal of some sort. So…..what’s the over/under that Go Shiozaki will defend the GHC title in Ring Of Honor?

I'm not sold on Go carrying them. He'll get heat on the "I'm fighting in Misawa's memory" angle since he was his young boy, but he won't carry it nearly as long as Inoki rode Rikidozan's memory to superstardom. But as long as Misawa's lowrider doesn't get blown up, at least they'll treat the tragedy with far more dignity than Americans would.

He was known for telling erotic jokes. "Shin guards help me position myself when I bang my girl" I heard this joke the last time I saw him on a TV show.
