Bad Dude Tito rates dudes.
NJPW is set to hold its NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed event on October 28 from Las Vegas with a lineup that features Eddie Kingston, HENARE, SANADA, Tama Tonga, Shingo Takagi, Giulia, and more.
Ahead of the event, Bad Dude Tito spoke with Kate Elizabeth and rated everyone on the card on the Bad Dude Tito scale of Good Dude or Bad Dude.
- Tama Tonga vs. Shingo Takagi: A Draw. Both bad dudes (but not as bad as Tito).
- Sanada & Yuya Uemura vs. Tetsuya Nato & Hiromi Takahashi: No contest. NO BAD DUDES
- Eddie Kingston vs. Henare: “Eddie’s a bad f*ckin’ dude, man.”
- On Henare: “Henare’s got that face tattoo, you’ve gotta be a pretty bad dude…But I give Eddie the edge here.”
- ELP & Hikuleo vs. Alex Zane & Lance Archer: Lance Archer
- On Lance Archer: “He’s a monster…Everybody dies. If that’s your motto, you gotta be a pretty bad dude.”
- On ELP: “ELP is definitely a wild man, I might not call him a ‘bad dude’”
- Giulia vs. Hyan: “Giulia. She’s killing it everywhere. Is amazing in the ring. Super over. Killer.”
- Atlantis, Atlantis Jr., Tanahashi, & Mistico vs. Rocky Romero, Soberano Jr., Tiger Mask, Adrian Quest: Team Rocky
- On Rocky Romero: “Rocky’s the man, does he even sleep? Ever?”
- Tom Lawlor (Super bad dude) vs. Gabe Kidd (bad dude): Tom Lawlor
- On Tom Lawlor: “He’s also very smelly, I don’t know if you’ve met him. He could be called smelly Tom Lawlor…He’s a hard hitting MFer…Fantastic wrestler and grappler…he’s a tough dude. NCAA wrestler. MMA fighter for 15 years…all around bad dude…If you’re walking around in daisy dukes and nobody is telling you anything? You’re a pretty bad dude.”
- Johnnie Robbie & Lluvia vs. Stephanie Vaquer & Zeuxis: “This is a tough one. I’m gonna go with Johnnie just because if I don’t I feel like she will hit me. She’ll attack me. Probably from behind because she’s a little cheater like that. But I feel like…maybe she might hit me with something? Like a chair or a bat. I definitely don’t want that to happen. So I’m gonna go Johnnie…”
- Satoshi Kojima & Fred Rosser vs. Jeff Cobb & Alex Coughlin: “I’m badder than all four of these dudes at the end of the day…I’m gonna go Jeff Cobb & Alex Coughlin for no real reason.”
- On Kojima “I feel like he’s TOO nice…And maybe stay off the bread…”
- Team Filthy vs. West Coast Wrecking Crew: “The only bad dude I see here is Royce. That’s IT.”
- On Titus Alexander: “Very talented. Fantastic wrestler. NOT a bad dude…He has all the make up to become a bad dude. He just needs to put it together.”
- On Jorel Nelson: “Jorel is a Seahawks fan and I hold that against him. He’s also very soft. He’s just a very soft human being. He’s like a marshmallow.”
- Matt Vandagriff vs. Buck Skynyr: Draw. “Love both these guys. Very great wrestlers. Very Great people. Phenomenal in the ring. NO bad dudes.”
