New Japan/Fitzgerald

Hello again,

(1) What’s up with the Japanese stars having their names in all caps (and Walter too)? I notice sometimes recappers like Tommy skip the caps lock.

(2) Okada is fantastic, of course, but wouldn’t the tombstone be a more effective finisher than the Rainmaker lariat? It takes quite a bit to set up, and there are more imposing figures who might deliver more impactful clotheslines.

(3) If you refer the first two items to Michael (or even if you don’t), please tell him “Come On You Blues.” He’ll know what that means.


A lot of heels in Japan like to do the all caps thing because it makes them seem like a dick to Japanese fans. Hence TAKA Michinoku and KENTA and such. I presume WALTER is following in the same tradition. Plus it looks cool.

I think it's a bite late to begin calling for Okada to change his finish at this point. Just saying.
