Grimmas

There is a bunch of guys I would had loved out of there... but I'm happy to have Bass full time now.

The issue is they just have to have matches as good as the under/mid card males. Becky, Sasha, Charlotte, Paige and company can do that.

I agree with most of what Parv is saying. All this talk of the landscape changing and things are different is that really true? How are the ratings now? Adding job guys, six man tags, etc.. would really help special events actually feel special.

This is a small problem that comes with having so many big shows and having so many big matches on TV. They to protect guys whether it be cheap wins or by not having them match up as much.

Should we have a thread for complete G1 talk? Thoughts on night 1 from me. Since I'm skipping the tag matches, 5 matches a show is a lot easier for me to watch than prior G1s. Tenzan vs Gallows was a fun hoss match to me. Nothing special or anything, but a simple match that I can enjoy. If these two stay at this level through out the tournament I will be happy. Makabe vs Yano was a one man show by Yano. I loved his antics and was cheering him on for a quick roll up win in the first few seconds. Yano was fun with the chair and constant attempts at pins, while Makabe was Makabe with his ultra level of believability. Makabe wins and I was not too happy. Naito vs Fale was a weird match I was digging it for a long while, but the miscues (including botching an atomic drop) brought the match down. Still the best match so far. Styles vs Shibata was the match I was most anticipating in the whole tournament. If Shibata sold the leg after AJ murdered it this would had been a classic. Still a really good **** though. AJ was killer again here and he will probably have a great tournament! Tanahashi vs Ibushi was a bunch of really good spots mixed together into something. I find watching Tanahashi weird as there is a lot of cool moves, the crowd is hot and there is nearfalls that are exciting, but as an overall match I feel cold. There is a lack of substance there, maybe? Ibushi brought some really awesome offense though and if you are a fan of these guys this would be an amazing match to you. *** 1/2 I guess?

I need some new heels, so whatever helps get me that is the best result.

They really sould had done a three way elimination and have them both double pin brie in the first minute and then go at it ala Taz-Tanaka-Awesome.

Two segments hyping the women's match already.It looks like they will given time and expect them to deliver a NXT level match here tonight, I should hope they do.

Depends how shitty you are.

http://placetobenation.com/this-week-in-wrestling-for-july-18-2015/ Pete, Steven & Johnny cover the week in wrestling for July 18, 2015. In the first segment Pete & Steven break down Jushin Liger in NXT and Ring of Honor TV. Johnny then joins Pete as they talk NXT TV and NWA Classics. In the second segment Pete & Steven talk international wrestling including Lucha Underground and previewing the G1 Climax. In the final segment Johnny & Pete talk WWE including Raw and Smackdown!

It's really my showcase feud going forward. There are a lot of twists to come, but right now it's just about developing hate.

A huge show at Maple Leaf Gardens on July 26th has most of it's card announced. The NWA World Midget's Champion Little Tokyo will defend his title against Tiger Jackson, the man who pinned him on Canada Day at Exhibition Stadium. Can Tiger win the title in his home town? Bret Hart is returning from Stampede wrestling one more time and has enlisted the help of Wahoo McDaniel and Tiger Conway Jr. to take out the trio that took him out on TV of Jesse Ventura, Mr. Saito and The Masked Samurai. This one should be a war. Of course the huge main event is best of 5 series versus Americans from Jim Crockett Promotions. The series will feature: Ben Bassarab (CAN) vs Buddy Roberts (US) "Big" Stephen Petipas (CAN) vs Barry Darsow (US) Leo Burke (CAN) vs Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy (US) Rocky Johnson (CAN) vs Michael P.S. Hayes (US) Rick Martel (CAN) vs "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair (US) The Canadians are looking for revenge after Flair tried to ruin the Canada Cup ceremony on Canada Day and after The Freebirds cheated their way to victory in Oshawa. This could all come down to Flair-Martel in the end, two of the best wrestlers in the entire world. Make sure you are there to cheer on Team Canada at Maple Leaf Gardens on July 26th!

Shit how is Super Crazy no nominated yet?

He's nominated. However, i want to discourage people from nominating guys just because they are better than others nominated. We should be nominating people that we are considering voting for.

The hottest match up in the NWA is "Nature Boy" Ric Flair and Rick Martel. The great matches can not be contained in Toronto and Greensboro, so this great match is ready to be farmed out to your home promotion. Do you want this great match on your show? Request the date below and if Jack Tunney and Jim Crocket approve then you get a bonafide awesome main event for your town. Bring in two future World Champions and let them light your town on fire!!!

Feel free to add any Maple Leaf TV footage to your broadcast.

Little Tokyo has a big title match in Toronto on July 26th.. we may see a new champion.

I'd be very happy if they signed Cherry Bomb. Few play their character better than her.

I'm hoping, it will be run in Toronto and Greensoboro at the very least. Contact Jack Tunney and Jim Crocket if you want that great match up in your town. Jesse is all character and this is his last singles match (most likely) as he is transitioning to only hosting The Body Shop, being the colour guy and managing Mr. Saito and The Masked Samurai.

So... the same stuff they did in 1984?
