Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted December 14, 2003 Thank all that's good and holy that Jado lost the Jr. Title. Though Tezan should still have the IWGP Title and not be one half of the Tag Champs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ligerbomb03 Report post Posted December 14, 2003 I am still bitter about Tenzan losing the IWGP title, and while I am happy for his tag-title victory, it seems like a step down the ladder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted December 14, 2003 I am still bitter about Tenzan losing the IWGP title, and while I am happy for his tag-title victory, it seems like a step down the ladder. The Tag straps, IMO, are well below Tenzan after all the buildup for his title reign. It also makes him look like a fluke. Well at least it looks like Jado and Yoshie could be victims of the post Dome Show cuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well at least it looks like Jado and Yoshie could be victims of the post Dome Show cuts. Jado & gedo are still tag champs for now, so they can't exactly release their champs...... Have you seen enough Yoshe to judge him, or are you just basing your opinion on his size and look. Watch his G1 matches, and he is by the far the most over wrestler of the round robin, and had some great matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
