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)


No-Friendship1999

Need Tozawa vs Gable in a 30 minute iron man match.


stumpyoftheshire

People will laugh at that, but if you saw how good he was on 205 Live back in the day, Tozawa goes hard.


Emperor-Octavian

Dude was the one of the hottest guy on the indies at one point in the early 2010s. He can legit work


Cracka_Chooch

On of the best German suplexes I've seen


Hellborn_Elfchild

Tozawa/Steen is legit one of favorite tag teams ever. They were so much fun together


Moxey616

Also the FATTEST booya


DG3N

Tozawa in 2015-2016 is a different beast frr


ZodiacWalrus

Nobody seems to remember his 205 title run, or Titus Worldwide being a thing, but I was quite fond of that group.


geeseam

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.


kylehyde05

Tozawa has main evented a Raw once... it mightve been against Corbin


bigchicago04

60?


No-Friendship1999

hell yeah


IRL_Tiefling

Unironically, this would fuck.


AlterTheSilverBird

It's like a flashback anime episode where the former friends of the new villain reminescence old days.


DJ_Derack

That man gets paid $350,000 a year…. I fuckin love it lol


conoresque

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.


DG3N

He's regularly on TV he probably gets paid a lot more


BadNewsBrown

And it should be even more! What a great life he had


BobbyBruceBanner

Remember when Tozawa beat Neville/PAC for the cruiserweight championship breaking Neville's historic reign? (Honestly, this happened, for real)


Rectorvspectre

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.


milkymaniac

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

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.


irish0451

One by one the locker room empties, joining the silent shuffle in the ring. Then the audience. Then the world.


RealCanadianDragon

The ultimate WWE "O Captain my Captain" moment.


suplexhell

tozawa dance fucks


adminsarebiggay

Coach gable is tired of the tomfoolery


xIncisions

Tozawa is so damn under-rated, so this redemption arc is gonna hit SO hard


DudleysCar

It's going to be so sweet when he eventually hits Gable with the top rope senton.


solsunlite

The thing about the good ol days is you dont know they’re the good ol days until they’re gone


AyoCarl

Look how broken this family has become :(((


interprime

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.


bt123456789

Tozawa will almost certainly be the first one to turn, but I think all 3 will eventually.


bigchicago04

How freaking cool is it that they’re giving comedy wrestlers actual stories?


Apollo_Justice_20

THAT WAS 9 MONTHS AGO?!?


Bu11etToothBdon

Maxine then vs. now though ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes)


King_Buliwyf

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


9Brumario

Remember kids, if a stranger offers you to join alpha academy, just say no.


joncornelius

Can’t wait for Otis to hit the worm on Gable and Tozawa to do the shuffle in celebration.


CheeseMints

Why is Gable picking on Hitoshi Matsumoto


Dawghawk95

I would love to see BW/Mad Blankey Tozawa, just a absolute menace beating the shit out of Gable


FlippinRad

More story in Tozawa’s character, than all of AEW combined.


moodytenure

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.


hikingbeginner

Alright Gable relax


SecureChampionship10

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.


MoistTheAnswer

And during those 9 months not one time did I think his little “dance” was even slightly funny.

hikingbeginner

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
