Strummer Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 Bryan v Joe v Ali v Jeff v AJ v Orton in the chamber! Fuck yeah! Quote
hammerva Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 That new title from Bryan is incredible. Nothing but stones, wood, and hemp Quote
Strummer Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 Bryan just continues to amaze. Â So glad he re-signed last year Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Posted January 30, 2019 My god the SD main event scene is insane Going from Bryan throwing the title in the trash after an amazing speech where the crowd had fun, from him being confronted by MAGA Boys to Samoa Joe spitting some fire Just amazing.

Strummer Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 Rey not being in the chamber match makes me think he's facing Bryan at Mania Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Posted January 30, 2019 Now, no fucking waaaaaaaaaaaay Bryan doesn't have creative control. Honestly this January run WWE is having is one for the books. What a bombastic month. Quote
Jmare007 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 New belt looks amazing  Vince tends to give these types of gimmick belts really short runs though (except for the Austin one), I hope D-Bry ain't losing at EC. Quote
sek69 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 If you told me Bryan legit made that himself I'd believe it. Quote
SirEdger Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 Fightful just tweeted that Hideo Itami has asked and been granted his WWE release. Would make sense with what happened tonight on 205 Live. Quote

sek69 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 I saw someone on Twitter mention that Charlotte with that dark lipstick looks like Tim Curry, and now I can't unsee it. Quote
SmartMark15 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 KENTA just requested and has been granted his release. In a perfect world, he gets a G1 run this year. Quote
sek69 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 I'm surprised Lana didn't tear an ACL walking around taking bumps with a boot on one leg and her ridiculous six inch heel on the other. Also Bryan is the greatest pro ever not corpsing when the crowd was chanting for Daisy the cow. Quote

Would make sense with what happened tonight on 205 Live. Easily the biggest disappointment since the original Sin Cara. Whatever had in Japan and ROH, he didn't bring with him to the WWE. He was also the victim of bad luck (multiple injuries) and bad timing. When he was called down to 205 Live, I knew he was dead in the water. I'm glad they actually let him go. Maybe he can be an asset somewhere else (AEW?), because it was obviously never going to happen for him in WWE. Quote
sek69 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 I wonder if WWE will have the self awareness to ponder why so many people are getting sick of their creative direction and asking for their release. Quote

I'm not sure how much more they really could've done with the perma-injured KENTA tbf Quote
El-P Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 KENTA had a struck of bad luck with all the injuries. But it's not like they would have done anything with him anyway, he could never have been KENTA when he came. Today, things may have been different. Let's see what they do with Kushida... Maybe he's homesick too and wants to go back to the country. I guess a veteran spot in All Japan or Noah is always a possibility. Quote
Kadaveri Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 By all reports KENTA/Hideo was set to win the NXT Championship from Kevin Owens in Japan before he got injured and was replaced by Finn Balor. History could have been so different. Quote
Mad Dog Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 Yeah, there were a few points where they were getting ready to do something with him and then he got hurt. He kind of falls into that Revival camp where I can kind of see why they didn't trust them to stay healthy. It was also obvious that Kenta wasn't the same when he came back last year. Quote
Jmare007 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 KENTA had a ton of injuries problems with a lighter schedule in NOAH, him getting injured constantly in WWE was expected imo. 8 hours ago, SmartMark15 said: KENTA just requested and has been granted his release. In a perfect world, he gets a G1 run this year. It would be cool watching him work New Japan, specially with today's talent. But let's not act like KENTA was doing anything remarkable in the ring after 2010. Even his heavyweight run in NOAH was underwhelming.  I wonder if he will make a surprise appearance at All Star Battle in a couple of weeks though, that would be pretty dope. Quote
aaeo_ Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 I really like KENTA's second match against Takayama. Quote
KawadaSmile Posted January 30, 2019 Author Report Posted January 30, 2019 It's not just that he had bad luck with injuries. He just didn't show up in the ring when the spotlight was on him. NXT Title match against Roode: flopped. Looked lethargic and missed some of his signature spots. Tag Team match on Raw with Finn Balor, which was made a big deal: flopped. Looked sloppy more than once. Â He just was a flop. Be it due to injuries, be it through bad showings in the ring and looking sawft, his run was bad. Both did the right thing now. It was clearly not working. Quote
El-P Posted January 30, 2019 Report Posted January 30, 2019 KENTA is banged up as all hell, probably peaked ten years ago after a grueling decade in NOAH. It's not like he's Kota Ibushi in 2019 (both are the same age more or less I believe). He's got to work as a veteran in a friendly environment. As far as his status go, well, let's see if by virtue of having worked in WWE alone, he's a "bigger star" now than he was before in Japan (the answer is, probably not). Quote
