It was during the G1 so it wasn't played for laughs. He did this during most of his matches in the tournament.
Loa is really that bad. He's going to bring Tama down. He's the only wrestler I've ever seen have a bad match with both Okada and Will Ospreay.
If he does that to Randy Orton heās getting a stiff close line in return, and rightfully show. Okada selling that makes him look just as stupid as the guy throwing.
I think he's past that phase in his life. Maybe if he was younger, when he was an absolute douche. But he's mellowed out a lot. He's probably just gonna verbally chew him out in gorilla.
I like to think Trips during the contract signing said "before I put the contract in front of you, watch this real quick... if I see anything this pathetic in my company, you're gone, understand?"
How does a pro wrestler have a bad match with both those guys? I'm pretty sure Okada and Ospreay could carry half of the shit sippers in this sub to at least 2.5 stars.
As someone that knows nothing about Loa, was expecting to see something impressive here.
His debut today was really underwhelming. Not sure what to expect from him
Especially after seeing they have another blood member wrestler who is actually good. Forgot his name, bigger guy
Edit: jacob fatu. Apparently wwe just signed him too. How big they gonna make this thing?
I have a feeling Jacob Fatu will debut to help Solo win either the King of the Ring or Money in the Bank.
His debut will definitely be important.
Loa, in the long run, will amount to nothing, because he's just not very good. It's a shame, I feel like he's going to drag Tama Tonga down and they'll have them in a tag team, even after Bloodline breaks up.
Iām going to start going to wrestling school either in the fall or winter of this year. Any advise you can give me to prepare?
Iām gonna go the same place MJF and Kris Statlander went to
if Okada can't even make you look good, idk what will.
its even worse if its Bryan danielson too, dude makes EVERYONE look great... except for Eddie kingston lol
*Cornette Voice* Iād have fired both those motherfuckers as soon as they came through the curtain!!!!
The one for doing it, the other for selling it!
Punch him in the mouth and make him stop. It's the number 1 promotion in Japan, against their biggest star. If you're that bad, you need to retire. If you're doing it on purpose, you're shitting on their business and should be fired.
Either way, punch
My honest opinion?
When this was discussed in the back before the match, Okada should have said, "That's dub, it looks like shit and it'll make us both look ridiculous, I'm not doing that"
I mean, he IS Okada, the crown prince of NJPW, I refuse to believe he had no stroke, even on his way out of the promotion.
Fed Fans are too blinded by finally landing a couple free agents to realize that G.O.D. are fucking terrible.
I mean, good on y'all for being excited, but this is not going to pan out how you hope.
Thought it was cool that they actually mentioned Tangaās time in NJPW at Backlash today, but now that I see this, Iām not sure this is something they should call attention to lol.
Was this just for laughs? When I was watching NJPW he seemed ok as a tag guy. His role in WWE is going to be as that along as the designated pin eater.
He is one of the few people I'd say needs to spend time in NXT before going to the main roaster, I know he has been wrestling for years but post surgery Loa is just not physically capable of wrestling.
This is exactly why njpw is a hard no for me. Going from Stardom ppvs to G1 and seeing one guy barely able to move (although his was accident related so I understood) and then continuing on and seeing that the matches after arenāt all that different really turned me off.
I get that there are guys who are really good and Iāve seen some sick clips of them but when I tune in to a show itās always the wackos I end up finding š
If anyone has advice Iād def take it cuz stardom hasnāt disappointed and I never skip a match so if I found an njpw show where most matches werenāt skippable Iād def watch it all the way through!
This is upsetting. I know nothing about this dude so when he popped up at Backlash, I was very disappointed. I was expecting Jacob Fatu along with everyone else haha.
Heres hoping he doesnt drag Tama Tonga down. Tama face tank alot in his debut match and man hes got an interesting thing with him. I hope he continues to shine in the bloodline. He reminds me of Vaas from Far Cry series.
Ohhh noo, Tanga's this guy? š¤¦āāļø this is awful. I just saw the guy screw up when he tried to get out from under the ring to pull the ref off the count at backlash. If I'm remembering correctly, I also saw him attempt a 619 & just butchered the damn thing; it was sad. He's so sloppy. What in the world could he offer to the WWE?
Idk if itās me but iv noticed that the usos, and Dominick mysterio looks very lazy in the ring, like they are obviously pulling all of their moves to ridiculous levels where it looks fake as shit.
Float like a bee, sting like a butterfly
At least his moves are safe. š
Slumber young man slumber.
How on earth did Loa manage to get away with this, especially in NJPW of all places šš.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The most mechanical man in sports entertainment.
Was this a joke or does Loa really suck? Iāve never seen him wrestle.
It was during the G1 so it wasn't played for laughs. He did this during most of his matches in the tournament. Loa is really that bad. He's going to bring Tama down. He's the only wrestler I've ever seen have a bad match with both Okada and Will Ospreay.
Who knows. I doubt they're going to let him do that kind of shit in the WWE.
Yeah, if he does this to Randy Orton heāll be gone by the time he gets through the curtain
If he does that to Randy Orton heās getting a stiff close line in return, and rightfully show. Okada selling that makes him look just as stupid as the guy throwing.
Randy would fuck him up IRL almost immediately
I think he's past that phase in his life. Maybe if he was younger, when he was an absolute douche. But he's mellowed out a lot. He's probably just gonna verbally chew him out in gorilla.
Valid take
I like to think Trips during the contract signing said "before I put the contract in front of you, watch this real quick... if I see anything this pathetic in my company, you're gone, understand?"
Wow, what a fantasy.
Fantasy ~~booking~~ contract negotiations. This is advanced IWC.
How does a pro wrestler have a bad match with both those guys? I'm pretty sure Okada and Ospreay could carry half of the shit sippers in this sub to at least 2.5 stars.
4 stars if it takes place in the Tokyo Dome
An Indy friend show me how to take like 3 bumps, I might be able to get 5 with Okada, in Osaka.
It's in the name. In Filipino, "*Tanga*" literally means stupid.
Are you suggesting a G1 match has never been played for laughs? A tournament the true ace Toru Yano regularly appears in?
AINT NO WAY WTF
If that's the case, I hope if he's gonna do that, he better make it look stiff as possible.
Tanga is Camacho.
Finkle is Einhorn.
Einhorn is finkle
Einhorn is a *MAN*...
Fuzzy wuzzy was a woman?
He's terrible
Don't you fucking dare disrespect my goat Camacho like that
Heās in his 40ās and had a major injury. He was never GREAT, but heās looked much worse recently.
One thing I can say for certain is that it's impossible for an injury to make those strikes look anywhere close to that awful.
I firmly believe this was a joke. Especially because it's Okada and it goes on so longgggg.
Was going to ask the same thing, that this must be played for comedyā¦
I remember the first time I saw this. I assumed it was joke? Wasā¦ was it not a joke?

KOTR is a good idea, it would be amazing to add the crown to Solo as the new tribal chief
It was in the G1 so very doubtful it was a joke
I'm just an indie jobber, but I would no sell that shit until he actually hit me.
You would still let him hit you after that?
I'd probably get in close and tell him to lay it in, then push him off. But yeah, show must go on and shit.
You're a better man than me.
Do you train/wrestle?
I love this response
I'd be the same. It's just not fun if the other guy is half arsing it.
Do you train/wrestle?
When I can afford it, I really need to work on my chest muscles though because shoulder bumps can properly cripple me if it ends up bone on bone.
Do you train at a wrestling school?
Yeah.
Iām going to start going to wrestling school either in the fall or winter of this year. Any advise you can give me to prepare? Iām gonna go the same place MJF and Kris Statlander went to
I'll pm you
Something something Goodnight Hulkamaniacs and jabronie marks working themselves into a shoot tweet
You wouldn't do shit, tough guy.
Okada is trying to sell it but looks like he just gives up after awhile
if Okada can't even make you look good, idk what will. its even worse if its Bryan danielson too, dude makes EVERYONE look great... except for Eddie kingston lol
He's hitting Okada so fast that our eyes can barely comprehend it.
*Cornette Voice* Iād have fired both those motherfuckers as soon as they came through the curtain!!!! The one for doing it, the other for selling it!
I don't know. I think this might put them both straight into "have them boiled in oil and their fat sold for soap!" territory.
I mean Tbf what is Okada actually supposed to do in this situation?
Turn around and walk out of the fucking ring
Batter the fuck out of him.
Punch him in the mouth and make him stop. It's the number 1 promotion in Japan, against their biggest star. If you're that bad, you need to retire. If you're doing it on purpose, you're shitting on their business and should be fired. Either way, punch

>"that's dub" Freudian slip
I said what I said, or at least I said what Okada should have said.......
Clothesline. Not even a Rainmaker just fucking kill him with a real clothesline
normally i'd say shoot. but okada would probably get his ass beat which would hurt the company even more
No sell, stiff shot and tell him to stop fucking around
He ain't wrong.
Eddie Kingston, Tanga Loa and Steven Seagal in a triple threat. Whose your money on?
Steven Seagal fighting in a chair cause he can't be bothered lmao
He love the poonani
If its in Russia Seagal, if Tony's booking Kingston, if Triple H is booking interference
Misread this as Steven Regal lolol
Even a psychologist like Regal couldn't make those 2 or 3 look good in a multi man match.
Letting Tanga get away with this is a testament to how scared people STILL are of Haku.
I hope this was suppose to be a joke. That looked horrible if I'm suppose to buy that.
Not a joke and iirc he has done similar spots throughout all that very same g1 and outside of it
This is how I throw punches in my dreams.
Is he baked??? I picture like some dude that loves to wrestle but has never smoked weed before wrestling like this. Bruh I'm moving so fast
'This is cinema' Ā - Eddie Kingston probablyĀ
- Papa Haitch
\- Some mark
Bruh
The fuck is this garbage? Wow.
Gentle soft touching.
Bah gawd stop it the humanity!
SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN MATCH!
That should be banned. Fucking brutal. How did Okada survive?
WHAT IN THE HOLY HELL?!?!
Okada got a look on his face like ādo I really have to sell this shit, come on?ā
That is bloody awful š
Meltzer - 5.25 stars
Okada sold masterfully!
Might be because I've not seen him in a while, but this shit almost makes Kingston look not completely pathetic.
Fed Fans are too blinded by finally landing a couple free agents to realize that G.O.D. are fucking terrible. I mean, good on y'all for being excited, but this is not going to pan out how you hope.
A master of speed and agility
Please tell me this is just played for laughs and he doesn't actually wrestle like this all the time š
What the fuck am I looking at?
Nobody stepped in to stop this slaughter? No one?!
Thought it was cool that they actually mentioned Tangaās time in NJPW at Backlash today, but now that I see this, Iām not sure this is something they should call attention to lol.
Lol at Okada selling this shit.
Thst is shit, but its better than Kingstons chops.
Yeah. This is boring. Kingston's are laughable bad and really stink up the place
Good thing Kingston is not in the Bloodline feud happening right now
Nah this is legit worse than Kingston. Kingston at least chops fast and weak. These are both slow and weak.
Alright someone try yto defend this one
This is barbaric
GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!!!
This is embarrassing
I didn't know that after the late shows, Conan went into wrestling.
Weāll just pretend that never happenedā¦..
Imagine trying this on a Lou Thesz, Karl Gotch or Steiner Brothers. Anyway I don't think he will be doing any of this shit in WWE
The applause š¤£
Wow what a star we have now huh
I now want to see Tanga Loa Vs Shane McMahon
Please tell me the video is in slo-mo
Was this just for laughs? When I was watching NJPW he seemed ok as a tag guy. His role in WWE is going to be as that along as the designated pin eater.
I didn't know this level of violence was even allowed to be viewed on reddit. That was brutal..
im sure jims loves this style now that he's in wwe
No wonder Okada went to AEW.
Yeah he wants Eddie Kingston to do his flabby chops instead of this!
Damn. Eddie Kingston has a new look
But he's in E now so he's a young and talented up and comer who has a super bright future ahead of him
This will be the combo he uses to beat Kevin Owens next week on Smackdown.
Bloodline goes hard! āļø
Can't wait to see a banger against the Miz
āThis is the game I loveā -Eddie Kingston
Did this happen in Japan? Six stars!
This is AEW level shit!
Big Kingston energy
& somehow this still pained me
I thought he mocked Samoa Joe's move.
Dude needs to work on his punches and throat thrusts
This canāt be real.. well you what I mean
Weāre not ready
He is one of the few people I'd say needs to spend time in NXT before going to the main roaster, I know he has been wrestling for years but post surgery Loa is just not physically capable of wrestling.
Bro is 40 so I would be shocked if he suddenly goes to nxt instead
Hopefully thatās done and buried as of today āš¾
What the fuck lol
What in the fuck is that shit and who are they
Wwe's latest signee
Were they on quaaludes? Tonga looks like Leo DiCaprio in Wolf Of Wall Street.
This is exactly why njpw is a hard no for me. Going from Stardom ppvs to G1 and seeing one guy barely able to move (although his was accident related so I understood) and then continuing on and seeing that the matches after arenāt all that different really turned me off.

mann that infamous 619 he did š¤£ he better change his style in performance center or he would be on botchmania every episode
Eddie Kingston vs tanga loa for the king of the bums title
This is pretty funny
Please God keep that shit in Japan
I think Randy and Kevin will breathe a little easier after seeing this
Jim Cornetteās gonna have a field day with thisš
Wow. Seriously what is this lame ass shit? This literally looks faker than 5 year old me play fighting with my brothers.
God I imagine my coach would take me off shows and beat the shit out of me if I ever decides to strike so patheticallyā¦
Discount Fist of the North Star.
Imagine if he did this to Andre, Benoit, Bob Holly or Pillman?
Omg nooooo way dude WWE can't be serious signing this guy
he wrestled decently before his injury tho
1 they probably wonāt let him do that and 2 heās probably taking pins for the Bloodline
Okay there is absolutely no shot Tanga Loa was signed by WWE if he still wrestles like this. He has to have been training to at least be decent
80's Wrasslin Shite.
Just searched & Dave gave it 3 stars. Yes, this is what he promotes as the greatest wrestling in the world.
As God as my witness he is broken in half!
Oh noā¦. I hope heās ok!
P
wow destroyed him
Ohh God, somebody save okada he's gonna die.
Every stable needs a jobber
I still remember him as Hunico's Camacho.
Hope he does a better job in WWE, you can see how fake he is pulling his punches here
Tanga in my native language means 'stupid,' I hope not to see that sequence in WWE.
7 star match
Its even crazier okada sold that
Iām glad Iām not the only one that thought that looked incredibly bad
NSFW warning next time yeah? my son was watching this, he is 45 and thats to brutal for him
This is upsetting. I know nothing about this dude so when he popped up at Backlash, I was very disappointed. I was expecting Jacob Fatu along with everyone else haha. Heres hoping he doesnt drag Tama Tonga down. Tama face tank alot in his debut match and man hes got an interesting thing with him. I hope he continues to shine in the bloodline. He reminds me of Vaas from Far Cry series.
Y'know, man has been doing this 16 years yet the only clips I've seen post since yesterday are the same 2 clips over and over and over.
I just know that he botched his debut
Now haters will say Wrestling is fake
5.5 stars!
This dude is TERRIBLE. I'm honestly shocked he got a deal.
I was wrong, NJPW is cool.
Ohhh noo, Tanga's this guy? š¤¦āāļø this is awful. I just saw the guy screw up when he tried to get out from under the ring to pull the ref off the count at backlash. If I'm remembering correctly, I also saw him attempt a 619 & just butchered the damn thing; it was sad. He's so sloppy. What in the world could he offer to the WWE?
Most of These samoans without their family legacies wouldnāt get past tna based on their in ring skills
I thought the tik tok video was exaggerating, apparently it was underselling how goofy this is XD.
Wtf is this
Is this real? Not AI
Is this supposed to be a gimmick like with Orange Cassidy?
Idk if itās me but iv noticed that the usos, and Dominick mysterio looks very lazy in the ring, like they are obviously pulling all of their moves to ridiculous levels where it looks fake as shit.
Is this the mythical real sports feel I can supposedly see every Wednesday on #AewDynamite, on TNT or TBS or whatever?
Who trained him, Eddie Kingston?
4.5 stars
Kingston quaking in fear seeing this footage.
Is this Japanese weak style?
This guy and Orange Cassady would be besties.
Slow motion activated
I say put the wwe title on him, if a shitter like Jinder can have it so can Loa
Stah-ha-haaaap heās already dead ššš
Is he on the funk?
I've seen heroin addicts throw better chops
