    I actually think MOTN was Shota/Ishii vs Cobb/Narita, followed by Tana/Okada.
  2. Jmare007
    Yeah, that wasn't the MOTYC I was expecting but it was still pretty damn good. KENTA from 2013 is back I guess. I hope he gets to work shorter matches though, he's better suited for 12-15 minutes than 20+.

    Finish was awesome but that was a weird match, so much stalling and nothing happened for close to 10 minutes. Kinda disappointed tbh.

    Ospray makes me feel like and old grumpy dude yelling at clouds most of the time. It was a fun bombfest but I doubt I'll remember anything about it in two days, oh well.
  5. Jmare007
    I'm loving this crowd so far, might not be the biggest attendance but they are into everything, no annoying chants and they sound loud as fuck. This tag match is fun as fuck.
  6. Jmare007
    HGH KENTA has me hyped up. I just need him to be an asshole, unleash vicious kicks and stay healthy as long as possible. The Ibushi match should be awesome, it's 13 years in the making.

    Night 1 of the G-1 is this weekend and it completely caught me off guard. I also read that tickets sales have been poor, to the point they are running a small set up (7k or so), I have no clue how legit those claims are but I feel like once again New Japan did a fucking horrible job promoting this show. For the Cow Palace last year they didn't do anything to promote the show even though they had The Elite guys and for this show they didn't do much even though it has a very big card with big matches.

    It makes sense though, as the young fans that were brought by Cena grew older they got at best, a very mediocre product year after year (at worst, unwatchable stuff for any non hardcore fan). The young fans of the Attitude Era got a product that resonated with them and stuck with them until today, it's not surprise that the "PG Era" (or whatever we might call it) wasn't able to do the same. The legendary moments and angles that make a fan a lifer were very few during Cena's run - not because of him, of course -, and the few that happened were killed in quick fashion by horrible booking.

    Exactly

    Yeah, after the reaction the news got putting them on TV is very much a Vince move. Which again goes to show that nothing is gonna change much in the grand scheme of things. I wonder if they just rehash that horrible "we are hearing you, this will change!" McMahon centric promo from early in the year

    I hate being that guy, because this has nothing to do with this thread but I guess I can't help myself. The bold is more than double than the actual number (137k) which was still an estimate. Closest comparison was Anderson Silva's first fight in Brazil on a 16k arena (estimated demand of 150k tickets). Which again, nobody is denying the power of the number and the crazy demand AEW has right now. But comparing it to any Wrestlemania ever is just weird. Demand for a 60 to 80k building for a traditional yearly show will probably not have the same frantic sale as a 10k building, were you know you have way less chances of getting a seat. And you have to consider technology too, you seriously think that a WMIII to VI or WM 16 to 18 wouldn't have had crazy high demand on a 15k arena with online sales? Wrestlemania 21 at Staples Center sold out in under a minute and that was coming out of a boom period .

    Dave's been doing some weird comparison's lately. From Young Bucks selling more merch in 6 months than the Rock N Rolls in their whole career (which proved a point no one was trying to make or argue), to a whacky Omega and Sting drawing comparison and now this. I'm not sure how you can compare demand for a 10,000 seat show to an 60-80k stadium, I'm not sure what that proves either. Besides the fact that AEW has an obvious big demand right now, which again, I'm not sure who was arguing against that point.

    Sure, he could've been promised that but we all know who Vince works. Eventually he'll be trying to get full control even if Heyman and Bischoff were promised he wouldn't. And to be honest, both of those guys are old enough and worked enough with Cokeboy to know no matter what is promised/said/signed with him, he'll revert back to what he wants to do/think is right.
  14. Jmare007
    The Alliance won the war! In all honesty, Bischoff in charge of the FOX debut boggles my mind. What's the over/under for Heyman's tenure? 6 months?
  15. Jmare007
    Seems like another abysmal attendance in Portland tonight.
  16. Jmare007
    I hope Seth is just having fun trolling and shit because otherwise this is just weird at this point, like mental health - as in, stressed the fuck out and about to break down emotionally - type stuff.
  17. Jmare007
    He's 1 wink wink shooty promo away from going full HHH.
  18. Jmare007
    And this program has been going on since April? Goddamn. Will watch D-Bry's tag match as it got a good amount of time.
  19. Jmare007
    If KUSHIDA's deal isn't very long, I'd say he made the right decision. Once he goes back to Japan he'll be able to do whatever he wants tbh. Even if he doesn't return to New Japan, he's gonna get good money and big matches in any promotion in Japan.

    I need monster gaijin Rusev working the Champion Carnival and the G-1 in 2020.

    Strong BJ 6 man tag at Korakuen is pretty much a guarantee of a fun match, this one does not disappoint. Match also has the added condiment that is building up for Yuji defending the title against Nomura the young gawd and they do an awesome job making you want to watch that match ASAP. Hyodo's human wrecking ball gimmick is fun to watch and he showed some nice moves at the start against Kikuta. Kawami is used for what he does best - short spurts of beating the fuck out of someone - and Sekimoto is basically reduced to cheering for his guys and bumping for his opponents. You watch this to see if Okabayashi and Nomura can work their magic, and they sure as hell do. Some of those slaps were as vicious as expected. 12 minutes of fun stuff from the best division in puro.

    Bryan being a part of the stupid fucking superplex no sell (because Seth has to do that fucking falcon arrow that means jackshit anyway because he's won 1 out of 200 matches with it) kinda pissed me off. And then Seth trying to "pop back" his shoulder by hitting it hard against the ring post, only for him to get caught in the LeBell Lock, and having to no sell it to rush to his W was sooo Seth Rollins
  23. Jmare007
    Tuned in to see what could Bryan do with Rollins and HOLY SHIT at the silence this big brawl is getting

    Most exciting G-1 in a while, the additions of Cobb, KENTA, Moxley and Shingo are incredibly refreshing and will make a ton of days way more interesting that past years. White vs Naito and Okada vs Ibushi seems to be the de facto semis at Budokan. The Osaka shows look fucking stellar, Ishii vs Moxley at Korakuen is gonna be a blast and Yokohama will have the privilege of Ishii vs Shingo.
  25. Jmare007
    Woof. Also, RAW did an historically bad rating again, as expected considering they have NOTHING going right now and the NBA Finals had a huge game than ended up being a classic.
