Rusev is destined to be the muse for the post Mania RAW crowd this year.

This sounds awesome, I'm in! I have WWE Network and NJ World, though I don't think I'll renew past Mania Weekend. But besides some really obscure shit, everything is online nowadays.

Rusev being the n°1 merch seller right now is the happiest WWE related news I've read in a looong ass time. Tong Po da real MVP.

I believe what he said was along the lines of there were no plans set but that could easily change. So not exactly the same sentiment and it's easier to interpret what Dave means when you hear him speak(as challenging it can be at times when he stammers or shuffles his notes) an when you read it. Dave ALWAYS says plans can change on anything he reports I'm not sure how this became a major knock on Dave when history has shown plans do change all the time. It's funny to me because Dave can basically never be wrong. He reports something that eventually happens = he's right. He reports something that doesn't end up happening = planes changed By always saying "I heard this but I don't know/anything can happen/plans change" he leaves room for any bad info he can get to be chalked up to last minute changes, it's genius and hilarious I think the relationship with Dave and his readers works better when we generally accept that he's aiming to tell us the truth as he understands it. I don't know that sitting back waiting for him to be wrong, like a game of gotcha, really goes anywhere worthwhile for a guy who has been doing a newsletter on pro wrestling every single week, without missing an issue since the 1980s. Wrap your heads around how insane that is and realize that the idiosyncrasies he has at this point could really be so much worse. Or we could just have fun with it? It's not a game of gotcha, at least not from my part.

https://twitter.com/briantheguppie/status/942054673451835392 Thanks. I was expecting something worse. I mean, it's not my preferred form of wrestling, but Japanese indy sleaze feds have been doing stuff like this for a long time. I don't see how people like things like grocery store death matches, Minoru Suzuki vs MECHA Mummy, and Saitama Pro, but don't like this. It's not too far of a reach. Is it really that different than a criss-cross sequence where the babyface simply steps out of it and the heel runs without realizing the babyface is no longer there? Or the back-turned arm wringer spot? If I had to guess, the people that like or don't mind Japanese indy sleaze/fuckery/comedy don't have much of an issue with The Young Bucks.

Kento Miyahara for me, bunch of great performances both in singles and tags this year.

Nah, they know the only way he's staying is by letting him wrestle. Bryan has said WWE has been incredibly supportive of him during this whole process and know what he wants to do. There's still 9 more months until his contract expires so him getting a big angle right now isn't that shocking, specially when we are heading into Mania season. If this was July 2018 I'd be more surprised.

Daichi Hashimoto & Hideyoshi Kamitani (Okami) vs Naoya Nomura & Yuma Aoyagi - All Japan Real World Tag League Final day 12/12/17 Well I'll be damned this was awesome! A young guys matchup - Big Japan's team are 25 year old each while All Japan's is 22 each - for a shot at the tournament finals. It was weird but dope watching Okami having to work as the imposing, invader team and they pretty much worked Strong BJ formula match and it fucking works, with them mostly working over Yuma and trying to keep Nomura at bay. This was 14 minutes long but felt longer (in a good way) with a jam packed Korakuen Hall growing more and more invested in Aoyagi and his battle to get the home team the W. Even though he was mostly limited to hot tags and leveling the playing field, you can tell Nomura is gonna be special and that the Sumo Hall performance/showcase was not a fluke, crowd was solidly behind him and you could feel the young breh being a force that the BJW team didn't want much do with. A couple of cool nearfalls and spots that didn't rely on excess and over doing stuff. This was such a joy to watch, I was happy as fuck watching such young dudes delivering like this.

Jericho throwing the table at Kenny had me dying this is really good stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=13&v=XvWY3Ccn_Js

Gotta say, I had no interest in the match but if Jericho is gonna go full old school heel trying to beat up and bloody Omega instead of trying to go toe to toe with him in the spots department (and most likely failing), then this has my attention.

This whole Jinder thing reminds me of Del Rio in 2011, when they "had" to put the belt on him and fuck over the Summer of Punk because they wanted him to be champ for a big Mexico tour...only for ADR to lose the belt before the tour and then win it back just in time for those shows and (IIRC) making zero difference on ticket sales.

Does the SeanOrleans/Mike Elgin/Glory Pro stuff count? https://411mania.com/wrestling/michael-elgin-sells-glory-pro-quits-twitter-glory-pro-wrestler-accused-sexual-assault/ https://twitter.com/Th_BodyElectric/status/939261602544709633 https://twitter.com/Th_BodyElectric/status/939263007867179010/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2Ftwitter.min.html%23939263007867179010 ps: I still have no clue how to embed tweets on this board.

No thread on Sheamus having spinal stenosis?? That's the injury that ended up retiring Edge and Austin.

I mean, I agree but they've always done it. Alvarez makes an ironic comment/joke, Dave takes it as a serious opinion (sometimes to make his own joke, sometimes the sarcasm goes over his head) and for some reason Alvarez decides to engage in a useless back and forth that will last minutes. It's kind of their thing.

I'm with the "right place, right promotion and right card gets them 10,000 people" crowd. If they do it after September I think Bryan is a lock for this show, Cody even said his "dream" scenario is him vs Danielson for the ROH belt. Now, regardless of how underwhelming I think that match would be, the point is that he is already thinking of booking him after his deal with WWE is done. It would be funny if this show makes Vince "reconsider" and he lets DB wrestle again so he can stay with the company I was thinking the same thing

Anyone who has really followed Nakamura's career knows he's wildly inconsistent and tends to save his best performances for big matches. Now, I wasn't expecting the level of coasting he's done in NXT/WWE so far, but I can't say I'm shocked either. Shit, even though he was clearly motivated for the Cena match, I hadn't seen him as locked in as he was in Survivor Series since his debut vs Sami.

:lol:

The elimination order has destroyed this match. There's interference n°1.

Of course La Nariz is the only one with a custom t-shirt edit: Didn't count on Lime Green John

AJ is something else man, only he could make this Brock have a match of this quality.

Crowd was way too dead for such a fun match.

Dueling chants for brands, that's something I never thought I'd hear.
