The UK scene is very much the same issue ROH had with NJPW/BC/Elite. Instead of just moving on or at least using the newly-signed WWE UK talent (and ZSJ) in a way that doesn't hurt their promotions/current talent, they just kept booking them on top and made what is supposed to be the next wave look ...

You guys are missing one crucial point. Wrestling traditionalists already don't care for AEW. I think they'd rather have all of the goofs concentrated in one place (well... two places, but WWE's goofs are a different kind of goofs) so that they can only ruin one promotion at a time. Pretty much thi...

If basic things like that take you out of the 'reality', then maybe AEW is not for you, nor is WWE, or CMLL, or AAA, or NJPW, or many other promotions. Well I'm not watching any of those (except AEW right now obviously), so at least I'm consistant. we are only 3 shows in, what are you expecting wit...

Of course it works together, that's technically what New Japan is. Being 'sports-like' doesn't mean you emulate the NFL and that we all pretend this one is actually 'real' pro wrestling, hell, sports are more entertainment than entertainment itself. It's 2019, not a single person above the age of 1...

Alright, let's see. This It's wrestling, it's fake anyway. and this Tournaments don't need faces and heels, especially when you tell your fans you're preparing a more sports-like product. just don't work together. If you want to be sports-like, you can't have hadoken spots/horrendous comedy/libraria...

I'm nit-picking, but this was bad. I missed the point of the Harts losing their rematch clause because I was so hung-up on them being across the street from the dealership. You want to make these guys look rich, so much so that they hyped up this segment, do something else if you can't get them clo...

you say all those things like they're bad things. Not everyone needs to be having 5 star matches, and tons of wrestlers have made HOF careers out of being 'hardcore guy' with terrible bodies. Janela still has tons of charisma and not all his matches rely on things that would get censored on TV. Sam...

Might as well put mine I guess. Jimmy Yuta vs. Low Ki – Squash Just another Ki squash, I think we got the point now. Backstage, Ki says that he has unfinished business. Well, work on it instead of KO-ing jobbers then. Contra accept Lawlor's challenge, but make it a 4vs4. They explain the War Chamber...

like who? When you remove "hardcore guy" and "taking stupid bumps" from Janela's "arsenal", he's a below average worker who looks like shit. Apparently TNT won't let them do hardcore matches and Allin has more upside as a guy who can take a ridiculous bump from time to...

So I take it that Matt Striker is no longer on commentary? I think they alternate between Schiavone and Cornette depending on their availability (and Striker when both of them aren't available I guess). It should be Tony for the remainder of 2019 and maybe Jim for the PPV in november. Not this week...

It took me two or three weeks to understand what was happening. The only thing I still don't understand fully is the Myron Reed/Jordan Oliver/(now) Kotto Brazil angle. From what I got so far, they were babyfaces that got foiled by heel tactics in the past, are bitching about MLW for not doing anythi...

NXT UK contracts killed the British scene. Not unlike ROH's MSG show, the Wembley show exposed Progress' issues to the world : relying too much on talent that are contracted elsewhere and can't use however they want (WALTER is still the champion and obviously won't job or even appear), and not real...

Will they be dumb enough to put it on Brandi?

What did I miss about Tyler Breeze the last time he was in NXT? I started watching right at the end of his run... Breeze, Tyson Kidd, Neville... I never felt like Breeze "ran" anything. He struck me as the Ziggler of NXT, but everyone blows him up like he was a big deal... He was becoming...

Am I really? It's been a slow but steady retreat with Okada and Tanahashi barely coming back since 2017 and NJPW sending lesser and lesser stars for the ROH tours despite being treated like gods since day 1 (the biggest star they had this year was NAGATA and yes, I get that the G1 Supercard was a me...

So yeah, this ROH/NJPW relationship is pretty much dead at this point.

Ugh...

Well it bombed horribly if that was the point, but I'm also one of the few who thought that the Cody/Allin match didn't work because it felt like Allin survived his own blown spots more than anything Cody did. ... because the moment Page beats Jericho... Page isn't winning the belt there though. Fra...

That would work... if you make him a heel. I mean, he would basically become what he despised the most in WWE : a part-timer. That could have some legs, but it's the same promotion that can't even do basic booking right, like don't have one of your top stars go twenty minutes against a lower midcard...

Bringing Punk feels like it could be a good idea to pop a rating, but a bad one in the long run. Sure, he's most likely the bigger name they could sign right now that is available, but he's almost 41 and has more than five years of ring rust at this point, and then you have the obvious motivation is...
