Most legendary wrestling dad, IMO.

Lana got hurt in the pre-show, after they mentioned she was in the Rumble.

He was also pretty cooked when he signed in the first place. The idea that “no one could see him” in this position is dead wrong.

Massive Dozer pop coming tonight, brother. AAAAASSSSA!

I definitely assumed Becky/Asuka would open so Becky could come back and win the Rumble. I figured they’d close it with the women for that reason but they must have a huge surprise for the men’s match.

Seems like that is kind of what they did with that tournament thing that they are showing next weekend.

I’ll have to re-watch the women’s match because I wasn’t seeing it with that one. Tag match, Riddle/Ohno, and Gargano/Rick were my faves. Didn’t love the main event but I am rarely ever invested in a Black match.

That show is already sold out and no one cares about the HOF so that seems like a waste of everyone’s time.

Yeah, it’s just great to see him.

Absolutely. There are literally hundreds of podcasts to tell me that Omega/Okada was the greatest match in history and have 8 NJPW guys/matches in their top 10 lists.

FWIW, I have had the Network and Fight Pass and thought the Network blew Fight Pass away in terms of reliability and functionality. Haven’t had it for several months now but it always worked well for me. I have Fight Pass at the moment and their Roku app is trash.

Is there going to be a top 120 matches show this year?

Yeah, ‘92 is still awesome.

I haven’t watched them yet but plan to. Have some flights coming up in a couple weeks so I am planning to binge through the series then. The ESPN+ show last weekend was very solid.

Beer City Bruiser will make him look like a geek.

The joys of late capitalism.

If companies are financially solvent enough to be signing wrestlers to contracts, they can alow their workers to organize and bargain collectively for their benefits. Next up, we’ll be hearing how they’d like to provide healthcare to the wrestlers, but that would also bankrupt the company.

I’m not even a huge Kenny fan but this is just too damn far.

OK, I knew they talked about it on the show. WWE definitely overestimated.

If I recall, there was some kind of weird thing there, like that not being legit. Then they booked the India shows and couldn’t sell tickets.

Hell yeah, dude. I actually watched Raw tonight when I got home when I saw Heavy Machinery was on. First WWE TV I have watched in months and I mostly enjoyed it. Unfortuntately, Nikki Cross got cut from the Hulu version, though.

Have you heard his commentary on NJPW? If you have and still think he should be calling any wrestling in 2019, I don’t know what to say.

They would be. He also called NJPW last year, at the end of tag league.

Excalibur called All In. Along with Riccaboni.

He’s an established name and character for their core audience. Jim Ross is a very dumb fucking choice for any company wanting to have credibility as being cool. The dude is pure trash. In real life and behind the mic.
