NintendoLogic Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I was hoping the low blow would be the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yeah unless Rousey beats Jax in about 10 seconds (which wouldn't shock me) this 4 hour PPV is going 4 1/2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, I'm certain future generations will look back at Nakamura as the most inexplicable WON HOF inductee. Ultimo Dragon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunning_grover Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I forgot about the Ibushi matches and that was mostly Ibushi being great. Still disappointed with Nakamura's WWE run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Dragon Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yeah, I'll be the high voice in this match. That to me was easily the best Styles/Nak match in the E pretty easily to me. Not a classic, but a really good match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still disappointed with Nakamura's WWE run. I have to say it every time. I saw Ibushi have an almost *** match with a blowup doll. I think it's impossible to have a bad match with him.

NintendoLogic Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 The problem with matches like these is that they can't do anything to overshadow the stage-managed set pieces so they have to spend the bulk of the match in first gear.

Mad Dog Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I would take Tanahashi and Okada over Nakamura easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 So Rousey vs Jax isn't the main event. So it actually may go 10 - 15 seconds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpetCrawler Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 I haven't been watching the past couple of weeks/long while because I've been in E3 mode. Did they seriously restart Nia and turn her into a villain after spending so much time using her for the positive anti-bullying messages?

KawadaSmile Posted June 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 That the LMS was the best of the AJ/Nak matches shouldn't even be debatable, but it was such a low bar, and it FINALLY being the first one to deliver on this really long and worn-out feud made it boring to me, regardless of its undeniable qualities.

hammerva Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Well I guess they assume that they have to turn Nia heel because Rousey will be so liked by the crowd. Unfortunately I don't think that will happen with this crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there's a move named after him (that I think he also invented) - the Asai Moonsault. Good enough for the WON HOF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It evolved from Toryumon which he founded and he also trained a lot of the mainstays for DG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
