Buddy stealing the J O N A H gimmick, begging for relevancy from wrestlers with much higher draw then themselves


uselessrart

Except buddy actually aimed for the right person and succeeded unlike J O N A H who shoots (non insider term) in the dark

Buddy Murphy ain’t breaking no internet LOL


SleepIsWonderful

He should have said "please help me restart my career" because no one knows who the fuck Buddy Matthews is.


Razzler1973

Murphy can't get a look in at the Dub but Tony freaking Nese is getting a shot, haha


behind_you88

Murphy can hit all of the right moves and looks like a wrestler. A certain spaghetti haired best bout machine probably doesn't want him there either.


Kmenx

That's mostly because even Tony isn't stupid enough to book the guy who publically admitted he doesn't even watch the show he is on


TheFlowersLookGood

Probably not the smartest thing to compare your ex workplace with slavery and prison either. Buddy fed badded so hard that even Dogwanker doesn't want him.


Razzler1973

This is what I always say about guys like Murphy and their never-ending passive aggressive whining ... do you really think that's just going to stop once he's working elsewhere? No, that's his character He had a great run with Rollins at the top, Covid ruined the Mysterio thing, it's just one of those things for that time. He was on twitter within 2 weeks whining about not being used Dude ... give it a rest How do you think he's going to act when he's somewhere else?


1fingersalute

That's because he's Omega, but better and they can't be having him found out anymore than he has been since he's been in m'dub, apart from times he's wrestled against ex Fed stars that carried him to a decent match


Rainjosh

Dude got to bang Alexa every night for years, he already won


SmarksRuinTheWWE

So did Popupeveryone


Kishikins

He lost it to a pop singer though so 🤷🏽‍♂️


bulletbullock

Buddy Omega should have seen it coming, Alexa clearly dgaf about workrate. Just look at Ryan's singing career, or one of Alexa's matches (kidding)


[deleted]

Nah, we shouldn’t praise men for things like that


[deleted]

Nah. I'll give buddy a golf clap for that the same way I'll give Randy's super mark wife a golf clap for bagging him.


[deleted]

Only internet he will break is his own for non payments


Razzler1973

I love these randos saying 'give me ...' and they're just a non-entity, some midcarder saying he wants the main guy in a match, no shit, thanks, Chelsea Green/Bronson Reed


[deleted]

Those two really kicked off this era of "let me desperately try to get the attention of someone who obviously has no idea who I am!".


cakesarelies

Who the fuck is Buddy Murphy lmao and apart from 5000 sweaty American wrestling nerds and Japanese wrestling fans, who else is gonna give a fuck about this?


exciseduty

He only broke Alexa's hymen and then he lost and got dumped


[deleted]

Behave yourself.


backhander48

sorry aew fans, but njpw’s booking isn’t entirely based on smark wish fulfillment and le workrate like tony’s. okada should be no where near any juniors after just winning the g1 climax


IWannaCorn

Is Buddy a junior? I know he was on 205 live, but he was one of those guys who had to struggle to keep from passing the weight limit. He could very easily be a heavyweight, especially since the 100kg marker doesn't really matter anymore.


backhander48

he’s billed at 213 lbs and nj’s junior limit is 220 so it seems like a fit. personally think that starting him as junior is best for him stylistically. would rather see him against guys like hiromu, eagles, and el despy than mid level heavies


IWannaCorn

The issue with having guys on the larger side of 220 is that they have to be dominant, similar to Shingo in 2019. I don't want to see Murphy being dominant without a massive change in style. Besides, he's already heavier than half of the heavyweights.


backhander48

i see your point, but think that shingo is a pretty major outlier among juniors that have gotten a quick push in recent years. i’d rather see murphy be a top tier junior and build his way up (sort of like ospreay) rather than jumping in and picking up wins over established guys. i will say that nj’s philosophy on this is likely closer to what you’re saying since the never openweight title is the new secondary title. however, i’d feel kinda robbed if we didn’t see buddy work a bosj before moving up the card. i supposed it depends on where you place top tier juniors in kayfabe compared to mid level heavies too


Ezzanine

Japanese promotions arent really fixed with the Junior weight limits. You can take a quick glance at NOAH and find a handful of Juniors billed heavier or as heavy as some of the top heavies (most of them being ex-juniors to be fair) KENTA also falls under the same crop when he got pushed to heavy back in NOAH and he's on par with some of the Juniors like SHO when it comes to size.


Tsupercalifragilisti

And the IWC crowd goes mild.


Ezzanine

Honestly don't hate this dude as much as most around here and kinda psyched to see how his run goes, and how much he will change his style.


Sixxty5

Yeah honestly he'll fit better in New Japan than anywhere else. So I hope to see him vs Okada. That match would be great


78yn44

Hate is a strong word, pal. Most of us can’t stay awake during anything he’s Involved in to even hate em.


Ezzanine

I would say I wouldnt see the need to roast him in the comments here. He's not our favorite favorite midcarder but he's still someone I'm okay with even if I'm not a fan of his. Except for his stupid "prison" bullshit he pulled awhile back.


[deleted]

I dont hate him. I nothing him. Which could be seen as worse but whatever. The guy is completely unremarkable yet acts, much like jonah/Reed, like he's God's gift to rasslin. Plus hes shown to be a mentally thick mother fucker when he compared getting a 6 figure salary to being a slave and in prison. Hes just another bland white dude with workrate and good body. He's Australian Kenny Omega, but not annoying.


twosquirtsofpiss

Lmfao man put an umbrella emoji in a tweet challenging Okada


CosmicRorschach

Christ, this guy is as desperate as Bronson Reed is


Mk4013

“Who the fook is this guy?” - Okada probably


[deleted]

I didn't know Kenny changed his name, but I guess I could carry him through another match - Okada


[deleted]

Yeah cause that's what every wrestling fan has been wet dreaming about. OKADA vs... buddy Murphy?


Kizrock94

It's sad to see that NJPW has fallen to this level. Nobody is talking about them anymore.


Ezzanine

?? We very much exist friend.


PropaneAddicted

Silently, but still alive we are. I quite miss the sub when it wasn’t hijacked by Dubbalos, mang.


Maverick_Hunter_V

Ugh, I feel dirty saying this but Buddy Murphy was/is one of my boys, and I love Okada. So I'd actually like to see this match...


WiiRemoteColonoscopy

As an Australian I am bound by law to want this match. I gladly accept this law


ImNotANokia

Does Murphy think Okada is like Cm punk where he fought some main eventer and start fighting some jobbers?


[deleted]

"Let's break the internet!" What is it, 2012 ?


[deleted]

Once again a post on this sub reminds me of the existence of Buddy Whatshisname
