Why is Super J Cast considered a reliable source when it comes to AEW/NJPW? They are the same ones that reported Gabe Kidd’s anti-AEW promos were a shoot and Tony Khan hates him. 2 months later and Gabe is a damn near full time member of the Death Riders and they got worked by a storyline

  2. Idk much abt the Japanese wrestling dirtsheets but ik in the past year or 2 a lot of their reports that I’ve seen came out to be true, specifically Takeshita winning the G1 so like ig they have some backstage scoop in nj atleast.

  3. They definitely have sources. They had the first Forbidden Door happening before it was even announced.

  4. To give them credit, they have gotten it right plenty of times to. First thing that comes to mind is the Okada departure. They indirectly reported it months prior.

    However, they’re both so miserable and gatekeepy that they’ll take any anti-AEW story and blow it up whether the footing is there or not. Using the Gabe example and “Tony bans New Japan talent he doesn’t like for Forbidden Door”. Cool… Why has this guy been on two FD shows throughout his “anti-AEW ” character, running down Tony Khan? We was featured on AEW even before the Death Riders started.

  5. There are no reliable sources in wrestling.

    It’s whoever you prefer to listen to spout whatever bullshit keeps people coming back

  6. Because they do have some sources and have been right once or twice about a few things. They’ve been more wrong than they’ve been right but much like the NWO, Bischoff been riding on his reputation from ONE good idea for the rest of his career. Super J Cast guys are no different.

  8. They have a good batting average.

    Nobody has reliable sources from Japan now that all the American talent left and Fumi Saito got frozen out. J Cast were the ones who knew Coughlin was retiring, for example. They’re reported and been accurate a few times.

    But they have blinders were AEW and TK is concerned, because they hate the partnership and everything related to AEW.

  10. I don’t consider anyone a reliable source when they’re wrong more often than not.

    There are only five people I trust when it comes to wrestling news: Sapp, Mike Johnson, Meltzer, Cory Hays, & WrestleVotes.

    Meltzer often gets shit on because aggregators pass his opinions off as news. Sapp gets shit on because he fires back and people have no problem dishing it out, but bitch when it comes back at them.

    Edited: since I meant 5, not 3

  11. Couldn’t pay me to listen to those miserable losers

    Also Kidd is not close to a full time AEW guy. He finished the steel cage match at a time when he had nothing going on in NJPW, then never showed up again. Shit, he just did a US indie a week ago without showing up to AEW as well

  12. This is why I don’t listen to any podcasts about wrestling “news” anymore. It’s just miserable mark “journalists” bitching about stuff and leaking any stuff they get from actual industry folks. They run with any conjecture that validates their views and gets them clicks, then turn around and drag guys like Meltzer who has done the same thing, just for longer.

  13. I can’t stand these guys. When the original show aired it was actually good. Then the guy that stayed seemed to get egotistical and spend half the show talkin about oasis. Now I think it’s all just speculation and what he thinks.

  14. Maybe I’m misremembering, but I was of the impression that Super J-Cast were saying Gabe’s anti-AEW promos were based on genuine feelings held by some in the NJPW locker room, not necessarily just opinions held wholeheartedly by Gabe himself. I don’t ever remember them saying ‘this is what Gabe actually believes’. And it was the same thing with the Chris Charlton stuff too

  15. Man, you couldn’t pay me to sit and listen to some wrestling nerds bitch and moan about everything they hate about wrestling for 2 hours.

    What’s the appeal?

  16. I think every once and a while, Joel (I can honestly make it about two seconds listening to Damon’s voice) and other anti-AEW partnership podcasters take a step back and peak at the view of njpw from 35,000 feet and realize the lion’s share of njpw’s issues are self-inflicted. Inconsistent booking such as the HoT spam that seems to just get spread more and more, losing Naito, Okada, and Will all in the same 2 or so years, etc. Like do I think the AEW partnership is perfect? Fuck no. But I’ve enjoyed a lot of what the two companies have done together. After listening to the latest KISS too, I realized there’s a lot of fuzzy timeline editing of how things have played out in recent years. I also think Harold Meij and Ohbari did the company no favors in the long-run. Like they really left a resonating impact on njpw, and not in a good way at all. I think it’s still be felt too.
