I wouldn't complain if every TV show were in Montreal.

Is it just me or is Cole claiming everyone is in their 11th Rumble?

This match just needed three rings and Jim Powers to be totally complete. Don't forget about...THE YE-TAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! This comment is our MOTN.

So that was a finish.

I can see that, but would need vintage production and commentary to share the sentiment.

So I've been watching kind of halfheartedly while also taking care of some other things. It is a work day, or so I'm told. It feels like a different and at times fun crowd, aside from the VIP's sitting in front of the hard cam who seem unaware they're at a show and are just hanging. Thus far all of the matches seem around average for a mid-card TV match. Some a little longer, some a little shorter, but nothing particularly standout. Anybody loving things thus far or is that pretty on point?

Keep me out for now, please. Between playoffs, NFL Draft tomorrow, the all time bestest greatest royal rumble friday and a couple big NJPW shows this weekend, my backlog is about to get bigger.

Big Cass is not a good promo.

Meltzer reported tonight that Heyman is going to the show.

Dave's Bruno biography in this week's issue was absolutely incredible.

Meanwhile, Alexa is a terrific promo.

I'm referring to him refusing to wrestle, not the attack.

That is the best thing Baron Corbin's ever done.

Tremendous video package on Bruno. Really looking forward to checking out tonight's Network special when I get the chance.

Can anyone shed some light on the commonality of English in Japanese promotions? Whether its certain wrestlers' name (Kushida and KENTA come to mind). various sponsors that are displayed on the ring or around arenas or even certain words that are clearly identifiable by announcers, its in stark contrast to the presence of foreign terms one would find here. Just curious what's behind it and why these words aren't typically translated or presented in Japanese?

Yikes. Was Brody awful yet?

JVK, what have you been watching lately? Haven't seen much in these parts. I'm also happy to hear about it here if it moves people away from what happened to this thread.

Love it when a big man takes a suplex. I'm also a big fan of stiff knees to counter a suplex.

Anyone want to talk suplexes?

Last weekend's WXW show. Gresham/Lethal from ROH last weekend. Perhaps some Progress from Mania weekend. Certain choice selections from 1995 courtesy of the Village, and eventually returning to 2000. And NBA Playoffs. So little time.

You are not alone. Coach is much, much easier to tune out.

T-Bone Tazplex. Definitely one of the first that came to mind. He'd also make a mighty compelling case to take that crown. I feel like a Kobashi half-nelson, or Steve Williams backdrop driver -- if we're counting that as a suplex -- would pose strong challenges.

What suplex do people think is most deserving of the military industrial moniker?

Ha I saw that as well, was just greedy and hoping someone may have put it together chronologically.
