MAKING FACES UNDER WATERFALLS: WHY GOTO’S CHARACTER IS GREAT

I remember getting into New Japan in 2013, right about in the middle of when their big surge in popularity was happening. Obviously, this meant that there were a lot of new Western eyes on the product, and thus came a lot of posts, on Reddit, /wooo/, Twitter, wherever you can think of, that sought to “explain” everything. Tanahashi is the ace, Okada is this guy, Shibata is that guy, Makabe says “fuck” a lot, so on and so forth.

One of the things that I’ll always remember is how vaguely Goto’s character was outlined. Very often, these prophets, tasked with spreading the word of Gedo, would merely say that Goto was meant to be a “Samurai Warrior” type of guy. Maybe they’d bring up his friendship with Shibata, but otherwise you’d just get the impression that he was a pretty good wrestler, end of.

After coming up to four years of watching New Japan, I’ve concluded that his character is much more complex than any of that shite.

Goto is not someone who exists despite wins and losses, like many of the wrestlers in the current WWE climate. In fact, he is nothing without them. Irrevocably shaping him is what happens in the ring. The Goto that won the 2008 G1 Climax and the Goto that lost to Minoru Suzuki at Osaka Jo Hall are two different people. The main difference being that Goto, since his G1 win, has had a shitload of shots at the IWGP title, and has lost all of them. Every time, he will come in with a new attitude, a new attire, a new entrance video, yet all those times, he will lack the killer instinct, the intangible force that puts one over the line from good to great, and he ends up losing.

When Goto loses, when he chokes, it is not just a loss, it is a fall. He falls down, collapses. The best case I can think of here, and the one that brought me around to Goto having such depth, was his last shot against Okada at New Beginning in 2016. After losing to Okada, he’s in a 6-man opposite him. After a big, defiant entrance where he had all that kanji painted on him, he almost slinks into the background here as his team make the walk. He stays in the corner while his teammates stare down the opponents. And then, Okada comes forth, with the cheekiest fucking look you’ve ever seen, points out his foe, and beckons him to come out and play. Goto looks like he absolutely wants to die. He has sustained his reputation as a choke artist, unable to win the big one, and as a result he lost all the self-confidence that he had spent the last month building. It was one of the best acting moments I had ever seen in wrestling.

As well as that, though, Goto tries to get back up. He tries to rebuild. While it may not look it, the year he had from that low point in February was him recovering from it all. His decision to join CHAOS did not come as some swerve like it might have in other companies, it came because he found himself at the end of his rope, with the only one reaching out to him being the man who had so severely destroyed him, Okada. From there, he started to find himself again. He made friends (!) with his stablemates. When YOSHI-HASHI got an upset win over SANADA in a random Korakuen tag, Goto celebrated with him like they’d just won the tag titles. He entered the G1, and he started doing really well. People were chanting his name again!

Beneath the serious, understated surface is a man who is always analysing his own actions. Perhaps it could be chalked up to confirmation bias, but I see this slight bit of self-doubt when Goto is in a big match. He’s overthinking things. He’s saying “don’t screw it up don’t screw it up DON’T SCREW IT UP” because he knows that choking is his thing and he so desperately wants it not to be. Thus, encouragement from his friends and the fans is the thing he, on some level, seeks most in the world. It is validation that, actually, no, he’s not screwing up.

What ended up ultimately pushing him over the line, though, was the criticisms and dismissals from people who didn’t pull punches.

Like in the fateful aftermath of Destruction in Hiroshima, where with his comrade YOSHI down and out after being beat by Kenny Omega, Goto made a stand. Although he had lost to him in the G1, he nevertheless made the challenge for Omega’s Tokyo Dome briefcase.

Omega laughed at him. He told him to “Goto hell.”

This wasn’t just some crappy pun, it was an insult with connotations informed by the prior decade or so of Goto’s career. What’s this guy doing challenging for the big one again? Has he not learned? Is he not already enough of a joke? Fuck off, loser.

Again, all this played an integral role in what was to come. King of Pro-Wrestling came. Goto/Omega II came. Omega still taunted him, even up to the introductions. Everyone thought of it as a formality, even Kenny himself.

Red Shoes goes to take the briefcase. He shows it to Goto. Suddenly, Goto takes a shot at Kenny. Suddenly, Goto takes the briefcase. Suddenly, Goto steps out from the same old song and dance, he’s no longer here to fall victim to his own insecurities, he’s here to win. Kenny gets brained with the case. He gets DDT’d, he gets thrown through a table, he goes dead-eyed after taking a huge Yoshi Tonic. It feels like a fight, a heated fight instead of a contest of wrestling wherein he is objectively inferior. Even the finish, wherein Goto still loses, feels like a development. Kenny hooks him up for the One-Winged Angel, and right up until the moment the back of his neck meets the canvas, Goto is punching, scratching and clawing to try and get out of it. No longer did Goto humbly, submissively present victory to his opponents, they had to pry it out of his furious soul.

It came time, then, for all this to come full circle. Goto reached his breaking point in spring, had a summer of growth, and showed off to all an epic bloom in the fall. Now, in the winter, to test that all this development meant anything, one more person who thought him a joke came along. One more person who knew him as a perpetual loser. One more person who happened to be his former best buddy, Shibata.

When Okada was trying to court Goto into CHAOS, Shibata was seen looking on in the background. Once Goto bit the bullet, though, he was nowhere to be found. Too preoccupied with the NEVER Openweight title. It wasn’t until the World Tag League where they met once more, bringing up a lot of bitterness after that the past months of separation helped ferment.

Shibata went all-in on his old friend, even disparaging the very fact that people still brought up that relationship. He attacked Goto for changing all the little things but not changing his losing ways, for endlessly chasing revivals when it’s unclear when he was ever at a peak, and for ultimately being in an entirely different dimension than Shibata, then seeming to be on the cusp of being a superstar for the company, was. Once, it was no longer time to go quietly in defeat. Now, it was no longer time to go in defeat at all.

Wrestle Kingdom 11 was where it all paid off. I could feel the same thing happening all over again, and then I could sense that something had changed, that Goto was getting better, getting more of an edge in exchanges. Shibata’s attempts at proving his comments right turned into trying to survive, his dominance slipping throughout. Then, finally, Shibata’s heavily-taped neck began giving out, and Goto pounced on it like a predator. He gave him a reverse GTR, meeting Shibata’s throat with his knee. Then he gave him a regular one for good measure. One of the best, most emphatic finishes I’ve ever seen, and Goto had won.

January 4th at the Tokyo Dome, and Hirooki Goto stood victorious. Not in a tag match, not in a meaningless singles match. He was handed the NEVER Openweight championship. It was a big one, and he had won it, silencing his critics, including the biggest one, himself.

This was a highly significant moment for me as a fan. It would not have been that way if Goto consistently choking had not been the focus of his story for the past couple years. It would also not have been that way if Goto had not acted like every single one of those chokes impacted him as a wrestler and as a person. Without evidence of growth, journeys are nothing. Without evidence of journey, destinations are nothing. With Goto, I felt like everything meant something. He finally dug deep inside himself, not just saying that he was or doing it for show, but that he had finally reached rock bottom, and came back up as a wholly new person. I have felt way more invested in Goto than in most other wrestlers on the New Japan roster because the story of “Is good, but impeded by fear of failure, rejection, lack of confidence” will always be more relatable than “Is good”. When I think of the whole concept of fighting spirit, of never giving up, my mind will never jump first to the guy who just brushes past every obstacle without any trouble, the Okada who sits in a heel hook for 30 minutes and doesn’t tap out. My mind always jumps to the Goto’s of the world, the guys who do in fact give up, who are in fact beaten, who fall, but who end up picking themselves up again, to become stronger and to succeed amidst adversity. That, more than anything else, is true inspiration. Banzai. Banzai. Banzai.
