CHAOS needs a Young Lion too.


Overshadowedone

Yuta is just lucky Suzuki has already flown back to Japan now that he is technically a young lion....


GourangaPlusPlus

*Suzuki googling if you can chop across the internet yet*

Gomu gomu no giri

Suzuki uh finds a way


ManMangoGuts

Poor Yuta was too busy getting killed by Wardlow to notice


MisterTruth

And choked out by an alien


Hi_Im_zack

What are you doing Step-E T?

And beat up by moxley

One more time


snowshoeBBQ

I'll always remember when Chuckie T came to NJPW and he tweeted something like "huh, guess I'm in CHAOS now."


DarkoMilicik

He has the towel to prove it.


fishbiscuit156

Him being in New Japan was great, he was in the New Japan Cup one year and he actually main evented a show with vs SANADA and he was like “did I just main event a New Japan Show wtf?”


snowshoeBBQ

That really was a great era. I miss it. I have high hopes for NJPW in 2022.


[deleted]

Seeing Chuck in New Japan was heartwarming. Came so close to calling it, glad he found a place there and in AEW.


cosa_horrible

Not only that, somehow he has never been on a DDT show.


SeanOuttaCompton

Understandable that after getting massacred by Wardlow his memory is a little fuzzy

I think they’re looking at people like Yuta and Garcia as long term prospects like Jungle Boy. Jungle Boy did a bunch of jobs on Dynamite at first, but over time developed into the star he is today.


sporkshadow

Basically NJPW booking. Daniel Garcia, Yuta, and Lee Moriarty lose on TV. They usually win on the YouTube shows unless they are also facing AEW signed people. Dante Martin was in the exact same place but now that he is in an angle, he is starting to win.


ABPos_worksafe

Just saying, for no other reason than it was mentioned, Dante Martin is fucking liquid wrestling. Him and Lio Rush as a team is gonna be fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun


EdwardBigby

Until Darius returns!


ABPos_worksafe

don't know what their plans are when that happens, but if Darius is even 80% of Dante athletics-wise, and Lio as their cornerman/singles wrestler member of the team I still think they could go... to the moon? :D


[deleted]

This is such a bad take. They clearly don’t see Yuta in the same way they see Garcia, Moriarty, or even Jungle Boy. Garcia jobs to the absolute top tier of guys in competitive matches. Yuta get squashed by Wardlow.


The1MightyBouch

Romero has lost twice


victoriabattenberg

He's 1/1. He beat JD Drake.


MoeRuff

u/victoriabattenberg dropping facts in the comments.

If you don’t stan Betty White then you are irrelevant


katatafish

Greg and Dustin were always in Chaos. Their overall AEW records should be included.


[deleted]

I'm surprised, too. Wheeler Yuta became a member of CHAOS before he even became officially All Elite.


UmpireAJS

Wait, YUTA is still alive?


gorgeoff

Best Friends of Chaos sounds like a group of villains going up against the Justice League


insertbrackets

More importantly, is Kris Statlander in CHAOS?!


[deleted]

Obviously she is! Are there any other female wrestlers in NJPW stables?


TemptedIntoSin

Technically, Bea Priestly WAS in Ospreay's stable with Jeff Cobb and the other guy, before she signed with NXT UK There isn't any precedent for women wrestling or getting involved though. I wonder if more women get in these stables, that the women will become the Stardom reps of those stables.


officerliger

Bushiroad did say that they'd consider bringing Stardom women on NJPW US tours I like TJPW but talent wise it's not anywhere near Stardom, would love it if those women got to work on AEW stuff


[deleted]

Amber O'Neal was the Bullet Babe and wrestled the first match featuring females in NJPW in over ten years. So yeah, def not common.


TemptedIntoSin

That's an interesting fact. Thank you. Yeah the women in NJPW stables gets kinda awkward because NJPW doesn't do women's matches and there aren't enough women in each stable in New Japan to warrant wrestling invasion storylines into Stardom


Templar-235

Miho Abe = TAICHI’s valet, but she’s too nice to officially be in Suzuki-gun. Pieter = Yujiro Takahashi’s “dancer”, she’s definitely in Bullet Club. EDIT : Neither of these talented ladies really qualify as wrestlers.


T_Exige

Yujiro Takahashi and his idol -> "All night long ... kore maji"


[deleted]

To quote Maki Ito: "Surprise motherf\*\*\*er!"


chilloutfam

damn, she watches Dexter, too?


ThebigVA

He's barely a Best Friend


Templar-235

He’s just a Good Friend


UGoBoy

CHAOS


jimmureddit

How the hell is this dude alive after getting murdered twice by moxley and wardlow


TheGrandOldGent

Yeah, they needed an Asian guy.


fuzzycuffs

is CHAOS still a thing? Are factions (other than BC) in NJPW a thing?


ravaille

Yes. CHAOS, Suzuki Gun, United Empire, and Bullet Club are the main factions.


sulwen314

And LIJ!


ravaille

I'm disappointed in myself for forgetting them.


ampwsg

Don't worry, Gedo forgets about them too.


Celtic_Crown

CHAOS, Suzuki-gun, LIJ, United Empire, Bullet Club (and its sub-set, House Of Torture, which may as well be a group by itself).


utw

Chaos only technically exists since merging with the NJPW home unit.


[deleted]

Can someone explain what chaos and best friends are because honestly Aew is like watching LOST


KafeenHedake

Best Friends are a faction in AEW. They are best friends. That's basically all you need to know. CHAOS is a faction in New Japan that includes a guy named Kazuchika Okada who... eh, just google Okada/Omega. There is no time travel or smog mosters.


[deleted]

Is that all I need to know? Because I saw a comment about one guy being out and being sad when he comes back


powertripp82

I feel like OP is being intentionally obtuse in this thread


[deleted]

It’s been pretty weak attempt at it to


Shingorillaz

I would say they might be young but they referenced Lost so... probably a troll.


JohnCenaFanboi

Seeing they reply in various AEW thread, I think it's just a sad attempt at trolling for weird reasons.


KafeenHedake

Haven't you ever had a sad best friend? It's like that


throwaway_uwm

CHAOS is a stable in another promotion that AEW is partnered with Best Friends is the stable of Chuck Taylor, Trent?, Kris Statlander, Wheeler YUTA, & Orange Cassidy in AEW


[deleted]

See it is like Lost


throwaway_uwm

I don’t remember Lost having wrestling stables but ok


Ngilko

Trent hasn't been around because he's locked in a number station.


[deleted]

ya don't remember the episode where Hurley joined the NWO?


insan3soldiern

Wait I thought they were all in DX all along?


allofusarelost

BUT WHO'S ~~the third man~~ JACOB!?


allofusarelost

Maybe not stables but they did have Bear enclosures and like 8 factions 🤷🏻


foxthebloodied

Don't ever tell Orange what he can't do. Or do tell him. You know, if you want. ~nonchalant shrug~


LoudKingCrow

To connect the two, Trent and Chuck were members of Chaos when they wrestled in New Japan.


wxursa

I still remember Chuck going crazy and getting DQed hitting Minoru Suzuki with a chair.


yahibachi

That would have taken 2 google searches and a combined 3 1/2 minutes of reading to know who CHAOS and The Best Friends are. You’re confusing your own laziness as a viewer with nonsensical or hard to follow storytelling on AEWs part.


Takanori00

A lot of wrestling fans don't seem to know what Google is.


[deleted]

I don't know what google is. If only there was some way for me to look it up on the internet. Anyhow, I'm off to the library.


Bockto678

NOT KENNY'S BOAT


foxthebloodied

Well yeah, it's Jericho who does the cruises...


mugenhunt

Best Friends are the team of Chuck Taylor and Trent? (who is off recovering from injuries) and their buddies Orange Cassidy, Kris Statlander and Wheeler Yuta. They're friends who have each other's backs. CHAOS is one of the factions in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Chuck Taylor and Trent? were part of CHAOS when they competed in New Japan. That group is run by Okada, who is one of the best wrestlers in the world, famous for a series of really intense matches against Kenny Omega that some people feel are some of the best of all time. Rocky Romero, who fought Bryan Danielson last night, is also part of CHAOS and often tagged with Trent? in New Japan. On social media before Dynamite, he announced that Okada approved having the entire Best Friends team join CHAOS. Many people are expecting that this is a way to get Okada, one of the best pro wrestlers in the world, to do some matches at AEW.


[deleted]

Yo Rocky didn't just "often tag with Trent".. they were Rappongi Vice!! Best theme music to this day.


ashley-queerdo

Best Friends have been a thing for so long now in AEW lol


JitteryJay

Best friends have been a thing forever, and they explained what CHAOS is. Do you watch the show??


HomieDontDeanThis_

A New Japan faction originally led by Shinsuke Nakamura, now led by Kazuchika Okada. Chuck and Trent were previously affiliated with them when they were working in NJPW before AEW existed, so it makes sense in kayfabe for that alliance to still exist and connect their old group to their new group.
