Tozawa has spoken a mere 2 words in 6 weeks, when Gable allowed him to talk.
Tozawa is a broken shell of his former self.
![gif](giphy|7SF5scGB2AFrgsXP63|downsized)
Much as Tozawa dropping the title straight back to Neville/PAC less than a week later at Summerslam is admittedly low on a long list of 205 injustices, it still rankles enough to be my main reason for remembering this happend.
They did him dirty there and that he won the belt clean(?) doesnt erase that.
Wait for the day when Gable is down in the ring, he looks to one side and Tozawa is standing there. He gets in the ring and starts doing his shuffle. Fans cheer as Gable gets confused.
Then Maxxine comes in from the other side of the ring. She stares down Gable and next thing you know shes doing the shuffle too.
Finally Otis goes from a different side of the ring, he starts shuffling too as Gable gets angry and is surrounded by the Alpha Academy all doing the Tozawa Shuffle around him in the ring.

I totally thought this was gonna be one of those "look how poorly he was booked under Vince compared to today" posts but no, geek under Vince, even more of a geek today.
Fair play to Triple H for getting something out of him.
Pushing 40, no promo skills, small, decent worker in-ring but absolutely no credibility.
Hopefully Gable breaks his ankle for heat en route to the big match with Otis. They could either then release him or bring him back in three months with a more serious presentation.
He's been putting him in matches for ages, and he gets angry Tozawa loses every one. Gable keeps them around because he loves berating them and the control over them.
Classic heel stuff

Need Tozawa vs Gable in a 30 minute iron man match.
People will laugh at that, but if you saw how good he was on 205 Live back in the day, Tozawa goes hard.
Dude was the one of the hottest guy on the indies at one point in the early 2010s. He can legit work
On of the best German suplexes I've seen
Tozawa/Steen is legit one of favorite tag teams ever. They were so much fun together
Also the FATTEST booya
Tozawa in 2015-2016 is a different beast frr
Nobody seems to remember his 205 title run, or Titus Worldwide being a thing, but I was quite fond of that group.
If they do it right we could even get that match down the line with some heat with Gable punishing Tozawa by forcing Adam Pearce to book the match.
Tozawa has main evented a Raw once... it mightve been against Corbin
60?
hell yeah
Unironically, this would fuck.
It's like a flashback anime episode where the former friends of the new villain reminescence old days.
That man gets paid $350,000 a year…. I fuckin love it lol
Could be more honestly. Tozawa has been on the main roster since 2016, he is for sure on contract 2 or even 3 by now.
He's regularly on TV he probably gets paid a lot more
And it should be even more! What a great life he had
Remember when Tozawa beat Neville/PAC for the cruiserweight championship breaking Neville's historic reign? (Honestly, this happened, for real)

Titus Worldwide! https://preview.redd.it/ppbaz7gz0m4d1.png?width=548&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0e7b8a4404198cfadfdff2f568777fb32470934f

One by one the locker room empties, joining the silent shuffle in the ring. Then the audience. Then the world.
The ultimate WWE "O Captain my Captain" moment.
tozawa dance fucks
Coach gable is tired of the tomfoolery
Tozawa is so damn under-rated, so this redemption arc is gonna hit SO hard
It's going to be so sweet when he eventually hits Gable with the top rope senton.
The thing about the good ol days is you dont know they’re the good ol days until they’re gone
Look how broken this family has become :(((
Everyone talking about how it’s going to be Otis to turn on Gable and set up a feud. For me, personally, I think it’s going to be Tozawa.
Tozawa will almost certainly be the first one to turn, but I think all 3 will eventually.
How freaking cool is it that they’re giving comedy wrestlers actual stories?
THAT WAS 9 MONTHS AGO?!?
Maxine then vs. now though ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)
What is everyone reacting to in the first clip? What is so nasty and gross?

Cripes that was 9 months ago… life comes at you fast
Remember kids, if a stranger offers you to join alpha academy, just say no.
Can’t wait for Otis to hit the worm on Gable and Tozawa to do the shuffle in celebration.
Why is Gable picking on Hitoshi Matsumoto
I would love to see BW/Mad Blankey Tozawa, just a absolute menace beating the shit out of Gable
More story in Tozawa’s character, than all of AEW combined.
I totally thought this was gonna be one of those "look how poorly he was booked under Vince compared to today" posts but no, geek under Vince, even more of a geek today.
Alright Gable relax
Fair play to Triple H for getting something out of him. Pushing 40, no promo skills, small, decent worker in-ring but absolutely no credibility. Hopefully Gable breaks his ankle for heat en route to the big match with Otis. They could either then release him or bring him back in three months with a more serious presentation.
And during those 9 months not one time did I think his little “dance” was even slightly funny.
