moreblack Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 It's really not. I can't think what it would take for them to change. All the pressure is on AEW to deliver something that will keep people tuned in week after week after week after week for years and years.

AtariLegend Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) I'm sorry, but I feel very uncomfortable already watching a double amuptee getting best up. Not a smart move on your first show. -edit- First match over. I wasn't keen on that. Little too carny. Pre Show is on ITV box office.

username Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Damn! Cody and Dustin! Holy hell. That was pretty good overall. Not stellar or mindblowing or anything. But much better than the average WWE ppv. Go Mox! Edited May 26, 2019 by username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Apparently Moxley's going to NJPW. He was the one in the Juice Robinson videos. He'll be at Best of the Super Juniors final next week a few dats before Dominion (where it's Jerocho vs. Okada). There was a rumour that NJPW offered someone higher up the card in WWE the same amount of money they make in WWE for alot less dates in NJPW. Some were thinking it was Rollins or Orton, which seemed unlikely. Maybe it was Moxley? Edited May 27, 2019 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Ha! So far I've read that Vince is mad that WWE wrestlers were tweeting about AEW. Then Sami mentions AEW in a promo on RAW (getting LOUD AEW chants) and it gets edited out on youtube. Vince must be furious now. Shane O Mac got a lot of "THIS IS AWFUL" chants too.

AtariLegend Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 From what I read, the observer claimed it was scripted. Not sure why they want to advertise another company though. Not that I was watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moxley/Ambrose was on Talk Is Jericho, and he pretty much shot on WWE and Vince HARD. https://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub21ueWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2QvcGxheWxpc3QvYTdiMGJkMjctZDc0OC00ZmJlLWFiM2ItYTZmYTAwNDliY2Y2LzBhZjNkOWJjLTZlNGItNGY0Yi1hZDU2LWE4NTAwMDExMjFkNy8yZTk2NmM2MS00NjMxLTQ0YmItYTVmYS1hODUwMDAxMTIxZTUvcG9kY2FzdC5yc3M&episode=M2JhYTM5YTQtYTkwZS00ZDM1LTk5YmQtYWE1YjAxNmZlNTE1&at=1559150846540 or http://whatculture.com/wwe/10-things-we-learned-from-jon-moxleys-wwe-shoot-on-talk-is-jericho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChineseDemocracy2004 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) I've listened to the song used to hype Rhodesbowl from Double or Nothing a few times now. Shoes by Ian Abel Band. I like it. Who's getting to the BOSJ finals and who's winning it? Spoiler Shingo versus Ospreay is my pick. Shingo wins but I'm not sure if he'll beat Dragon Lee at Dominion. Hiromu returns after that match. Edited May 30, 2019 by ChineseDemocracy2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishimori versus Shingo was this morning. I don't know the result and I'd like Shingo to win because I'm a fan of LIJ but this match makes me nervous. I'm not this biggest NJPW fan but has anyone gone through BOSJ undefeated before? Ospreay versus Taguchi could main event on Monday. I wouldn't be surprised if ELP gets involved. Anyone looking forward to SuperShowDown: Saudi edition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 The last 3 matches on this show are worth going out of your way to watch. Tanahashi/White was pretty good. Moxley/Robinson was surreal and pretty different. Easily the best Moxley singles match I've ever seen. The main event was one of the best matches all year. Ospreay and Shingo are really, really good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's TakeOver Toronto before SummerSlam. TakeOver Cardiff at the end of August (The same time as NJPW Royal Quest). TakeOver War Games before Survivor Series in November. I wouldn't be surprised if the next UK event is back in Blackpool next January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Spade Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) That Maru guy was talking shit about Bret Hart on Canadian television (The Score?) when he finally came back to WWE after all those years . I could never really be a fan of him because of that. I did find his commentary to be quite good though. Especially considering how bad it is now. I'll check out the link to his doc. It at least has to be better than anything WWE has put out recently... Edited June 29, 2019 by Ace Spade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Who's excited for the G1? Anyone got any picks to share? I'm thinking Ibushi takes the thing, beating Goto in the final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLegend Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Naito it has to be. He's the favourite every year (yet never wins the big one). Most popular Japanese star in his late 30s. It's now or never. Ibushi next year maybe. If Naito was a little younger, I might say Sanada. Definitely looking forward to it. Past several years have been great. There's always a few nights where the card doesn't look as good, but still has great matches. Easily NJPW's best period every year Edited July 1, 2019 by AtariLegend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naito's my favourite. I was sad when he lost to big Okada at WK12. I remember the commentators saying women were crying when ZSJ eliminated him last year. Naito/Ibushi final with Ibushi winning.

Y'know, as a Canadian it took me a while, years, to come to terms with the fact that there was more to wrestling than Bret Hart, or what was done to him, or what people had to say about it.
