Timbo Slice

Cody is a carny at heart and the two families have been close over the years so I think in his mind he can make it work.

It’s also one of those things where if you’re into it, your body doesn’t really think about needing to go until after when the adrenaline wears off. My old baseball broadcasts, I did them by myself and only rarely did I even need to get up between innings to go. Just something you get used to.

It’s not even a full-time arrival. The word is that he’s close to re-signing with NJPW after squashing the issues he had with management post injury.

I think it’s funny that given Punk’s show is coming off the best tag match in company history and an attempt to put over a new top guy, the guys whose vision for pro wrestling is something they want to protect so much absolutely laid an egg in a big spot in a match that’s very difficult to fuck up. Incredible stuff.

Ibushi gonna do something incredibly stupid tonight, and that’s get lost at the airport and not make the show.

Yeah

That’s the one.

Hey, I guess we might get a couple big surprises tonight. Including one obvious one that has been in the works for a while.

Rick O’Shea doing the cool thing again

Surely there was an error somewhere.

Killa Mike literally has a song called “Ric Flair.”

HELL YES SAMOA JOE CHOKE HIS ASS OUT

Damn it all, they have a great match and I think they have a better one in them.

Weirdly paced show right now, like nobody wants to do anything ahead of the main.

Nope. Not at all.

These fuckers throwing Punk and Joe on free TV when it could be so much more, what an unforced error this is.

Objectively the most hilarious appearance said in this thread.

I’m actually okay with LA not getting the briefcase because I don’t think you give him a win to be fed to Roman and lose, especially with what happened in the main. Although I do think you have to make a move on him once Jey beats Roman for the belt.

Lyger in NXT was surreal and amazing and for me can’t be topped for the weirdness.

*walks in* *looks around* YEAH *leaves*

Not watching. You’re saying he looked more like his old self?

Need someone in a LMS match to step on a rake. Preferably multiple rakes.

Kitomiya would be inspired but his biggest beef is with Okada, so you’d need that to lead to something.

SANADA was the #2 guy in the most popular faction the company had and they had to pull the trigger on him at some point. Ibushi is rightfully holding out for a better deal given his split previously. Shingo being on the other side of 40, and having not really done much of note in a singles capacity other than during the pandemic, has hurt him. I hope he gets a good G-1 run to be built back up as they need it, but I feel like with the new crop they’re skewing younger.

In which Bryan Danielson will unleash his innermost Bob Orton and Mox gets to whoop up Ishii. These next two months will be fascinating, especially if they put Punk and Joe across from each other for the first singles match in almost two decades in a fucking tourney semi-final.
