Boss Rock

He'll probably rank high. I personally included him based on his work in the Shield and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of other folks did as well.

I sort of feel the same way about Lawler. Checks off every box that makes a great wrestler and he certainly has some great matches to his name. But there's just some stuff I can't get into all that much.

I seriously hope SZKG stays in the back for matches like these, because the overbooking certainly hurt a lot of Suzuki's matches last year (although he didn't have a ton of thrilling matches in general in 2017). I'm expecting Tana to be the conquering hero and get his win back, but I really hope they put over someone like Juice or Ibushi instead.

He'll probably get a kill-off scene. But he looked like he was in tremendous shape.

Three New Beginning Shows is obviously to make more money, but it's excessive. Two largely average and skippable shows with the exception of three really good to great matches. Tanahashi vs. Suzuki was a far-better executed version of the Okada-Suzuki match from last year's New Beginning, Roppongi 3k-Bucks was as good as their last match, and Omega-White was very good. Seriously, where was THIS Suzuki last year? Guy has been on an absolute roll as of late and is almost 50. Roppongi 3k are one of the best tag teams in the world and the Bucks are much better in NJPW when they're less focused on popping the crowd. Jay White had a much better showing in this match than against Tanahashi. Still not quite there yet but the potential is much more evident. Typical Kenny U.S. title match where he blasts his opponents with repeated knees and dragon's until his opponent can mount a comeback, but White's selling was fantastic. Instead of hamfisting him into a limb-based Tanahashi feud, White's debut should have been saved for New Year's Dash. Oh, and the post-match angle is must-see.

Not unless you want to win, sure.

I recall Orton had been the odds-on favorite for about a week or so. But I know not everyone pays attention to those.

You go to that third icon over on the top tool bar. It looks like a horizontal bar graph and when you hover it says "Special BBCode" Once you click that use the pulldown menu to select spoiler and type or copy/paste what you want into the box. It took me entirely too long to figure that out when I was first trying. Thanks!

Forgive me for asking, but how do you do the spoiler tag? There's one I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned yet.

Lars Sullivan vs. Oney Lorcan on NXT.

Really dug this. The chairshot was a bit much but they did a great job building up to Kojima's comebacks and Rush was a dick throughout. ****

I remember being excited at the thought it could be someone from New Day then...

Doubt they would do it, but could you imagine if they brought this trainwreck back for a THIRD time?

I'm not even the biggest Nikki fan but to say she didn't have passion and didn't work her ass off to get better is just objectively not true.

Molly finally dropped. Good finish, but was hoping she'd finish higher.

Finally the high vote on someone!

Still don't think any of mine have dropped yet.

None of mine have dropped yet. Molly Holly's still in it!

I'm guessing Nakamura and Asuka win the Rumbles. Brock will retain and Roman will win the Chamber.

White's definitely been off to a rough start, but he's still young and I've seen him in better stuff. So I'm still hopeful he can turn it around.

I love the Tenryu-Savage match.

Ooh, saving this for later!

It's just a shame we never got a Tenryu-Taker match...
