NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III
I thought the tope by Drew was dumb and then that finish happened. Indy at it's worst. Could care less about ReDragon and Adam Cole is meh to me if he's not in PWG but at least they were over as fuck tonight so fans were happy.

NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III
I think that was Asuka's best match in NXT. The drama in the last few minutes were awesome. Moon looked great in defeat.

Is Daniel Bryan Nearing The End Of The Road?
I don't see Bryan signing with them though.

Is Daniel Bryan Nearing The End Of The Road?
I'm pretty sure ROH or Gabe would book him in a heart beat if he's available.

Is Daniel Bryan Nearing The End Of The Road?
So in an interview early in the week, Brie Bella kinda confirmed Bryan will wrestle again and has her support to do it - in WWE or anywhere else - as long as he gets cleared. Dave had a little update on this on the WON but it didn't have much new information, he mostly speculated on scenarios once his deal is up next year. Today he was on the E&C podcast and Bryan went into all the details of his injury and what he's doing to make a return. A lot of interesting stuff. It starts at the 2 hr mark, before that he talked about watching people like Lawler, Bock and old man Tenryu to go for a "safer style" (he said something similar when he came back from his neck surgery though). https://youtu.be/uHCGWalHKtg?t=7207 Second half of 2018 is gonna be interesting, to say the least.

Current New Japan
5.75 is even more funny to me than 6.25 for some reason I really hope this recent trend and backlash end up with people finally realizing that star ratings don't matter.

Current New Japan
So 7 stars or 6 and 1/2? Clearly 6 and 3/4, leave people wanting that 7 stars for another occasion.

Current New Japan
I thought Okada vs Omega III was easily the best of their trilogy. Way more focused and wasn't needlessly long. Omega vs Naito was an outstanding spotfest with a red hot crowd, that always gets a thumbs up for me. It was a little too long though, didn't care for what they did in the first third of the match. All in all, Naito winning and facing Okada at the Dome is the best decision Gedo has done in a long time - product wise, as much as I've found New Japan boring for the most part the last couple of years, it's been an undeniable success - and we'll probably get Omega vs Ibushi underneath. Really interested in how many people they can draw with those main events.

The self-conscious epic in AJPW vs. The self-conscious epic in 00s WWE / indies
Caught this on twitter and thought it was interesting in the sense that it backs a lot of what people thought about King's Road. From someone that would know about it. https://twitter.com/reasonjp/status/894762264154193920

Dave Meltzer stuff
I thought that was pretty well known at this point.

This Jinder/India main event run is similar to Del Rio/Mexico in 2011 when he was pushed to a title win in the middle of the Summer of Punk 2.0. The funny thing was that the whole thing didn't mean shit for the Mexico tour.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4
Kind of a random question but I've been wondering why does Fred Yehi get so little bookings. He normally works 1 match when it's not under the WWN umbrella, is he under some exclusivity deal or something?

For fuck's sake. Keep that stuff private, will you ? You didn't even click the link did you? They didn't tweet, it's a gif from after the match and people reading their lips He's gonna find a way to be mad about that too

I see Corbin pulling a Seth Rollins and interrupting before there's a winner in Nakamura/Jinder.

So glad to see motivated Nakamura even if it was just for 1 night. Holy shit that bump looked scary, I guess it was inevitable once John started his PWG Cena style a couple of years ago.

Really liked them giving Gable and Rusev time and leeway to go "all out" in a TV match. As good as I expected. Aaaand they are gonna feed Rusev to fucking Randy Orton. Fuck this company man.

Sad puppy Rollins is close to insecure Sami in the funny character development department.

WWE Battleground
The way Jinder cuts his promos makes me think that WWE believes he's being presented as a face to Indian audience. BTW, is there any case in history close to the career of Orton? He's been a main eventer for 13 years, a total flop drawing wise and very few periods of consistently good/great work. I don't recall anyone having a decade+ of consistent pushes with so little so show.

WWE TV: July 10-16
I wonder how much viewership dropped once they put the show after 205 Live. Also, it seems Renee Young wasn't told and found out about it on Twitter.

[2017-06-28-BJW] Strong BJ (Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi) vs Takuya Nomura & Tatsuhiko Yoshino
A 10 minute sprint were two "Davids" put enough of a fight against two Goliaths were the beasts have to get serious to avoid a huge upset. Korakuen makes this match even better by being really into the action. Loved Yoshino's crafty ass finding ways to avoid being destroyed, and Nomura keeps showing why he's a big promise for the division. It's not a "show stealer" or legit MOTYC, but you will have soo much fun watching it, highly recommended.

2017 MOTY Yes/No Thread
Hell YES to Roman vs Braun at Balls of Fire. Those two have a very cartoonish feud and matches be compelling and entertaining as fuck. Loved the selling by both too.

WWE Goodness Gracious! Great Balls of Fire
Can Reigns and Braun legit fight forever? They made a fucking ambulance match dope as fuck.
