I guess this means triple-threat at Mania between Becky, Charlotte and Ronda. One will get the singles match, the other will insert herself through the Rumble. Or something like that. I'm betting on them doing Horsewomen vs Horsewomen after that, maybe leading into Summerslam. Edited December 17, 2018 by username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to rehab Sasha/Bayley pretty strongly if they're gonna do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably be women's tag champs by then. But even if they aren't, it's not like Shafir and Duke are huge stars. I'm sure Sasha and Bayley running out during a beatdown by the MMA girls on Charlotte and/or Becky will get a decent pop. 1 hour ago, AtariLegend said: Just curious, do you guys actually still watch RAW and Smackdown every week in entierty?

I record it, fast forward through the matches and listen to the promos. Occasionally I'll watch the main events. RAW didn't record for me this week and I'm disappointed.

I mean for fucks sake, who else than Vince could think "a lot of McMahons" is the solution instead of the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moreblack Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 To be fair, Papa H has worked wonders with NXT, there's potential there. Vince just has to get out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 RIP Gene! He was one of the best and funny. So many great WWE people have died. They are all missed very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) R.IP. Mean Gene Wrestle Kingdom was this morning. The show was great as it is every year. Certain matches were shorter than I expected, but it did't matter. Just a few thoughts; Not sure if Omega is staying or leaving. The videos they showed at the start, suggested that they expect him to stay. The vibe I got personally was that the Bucks, Page and Cody are done. We'll see at tommorow's show. They'll be fine if he leaves, but I hope he doesn't. White vs Okada was great despite the length. Okada always delivers and White is improving alot. Ibushi/Ospreay was less dangerous than I expected, yet Ibushi still got stretchered out. Not sure two back to back Tokyo Dome shows next year is a good thing or a bad thing. As good as All In was, I don't have time for or interest in watching another show. Edited January 4, 2019 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As good as All In was, I don't have time for or interesting in watching another show. The last 2 matches were really good. Okada-White was good too, but it was surprisingly short. As for Kenny... Meltzer (take it for what it's worth) claimed there are talks next week between AEW, NJPW and ROH about a partnership. That could potentially be very strong and I imagine it'd work for Kenny as well to be able to do NJPW and AEW both. There are also reports about Vince making Kenny a late offer of well over 7 figures. So yeah, this could become quite a wrestling-war and Kenny is the wildcard right now.

AtariLegend Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) New Year's Dash just ended. Nothing happened on it which is bizarre. No major angles or debuts. They set up matches, but it felt like just a below average njpw show that you could easily skip. However the entire Elite wasn't there. That's worrying as far as Omega goes. Ibushi was missing too, but given the injury it's not surprising. Jericho supposedly will be back, so nothing to read into his no show when they're setting up another Tana/White match.

Then I thought Yoshi Hashi was the mole inside Chaos. I wasn't surprised when Spoiler Owens & Takahashi rejoined the Bullet Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Kenny should go get his big payday with Vince if that's on the table. He's more than paid his dues, and might as well cash in for a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Anyone expecting Omega/Styles to do a ****** match at Wrestlemania laid out by WWE agents is delusional. It'd probably be a 12 minute middle of the show match where one of them kicks the other in the balls as the finish. That'd be the peak. If his wages are being tripled, then good for him. NJPW's own fault if they don't throw a few million at him. Obviously I hope he stays though. Also thinking Okada's title run shouldn't have ended in hindsight, if he ends up going. As for AEW, they don't have a roster yet. Since ROH helped behind the seens with production to make All In look better than any ROH show (betting they regret it), then you can't tell what AEW will look like. It might work out, it might not.

If that's his last NJPW match, he went out on a high note. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
