I wouldn't call him sloppy, but he looks like he's afraid of laying it in when it comes to strikes - which creates a bit of disconnect when the commentators are talking about what a vicious, trained martial artist he is and he's throwing strikes that barely connect. It doesn't help that his war crate's been entirely plagiarized by the WWE roster over the years; no G2S, no Busaiku Knee, no LeBell Lock and, because Finn does the top-rope doublestomp, Itami can't use that either.
I could totally see him holding back on the force of his kicks. He is going to have to find something to define himself or he is just going to get lost in the shuffle.
Today was a good birthday
I love Sasha, but the glasses, the boss stuff, it's all super outdated, and the ratchet shit is just cringe worthy.
I'd pay good money for him to run a freight train on Becky Lynch.
I dunno, Devitt looks like a star, but KENTA's been pretty dull so far and is tiny compared to a lot of the guys (doesn't help that they're feuding with the fucking Ascension). Also doesn't help that they haven't really been given the opportunity to really show off what they can do, but that's the WWE style in a nutshell.
Not for WWE audiences! Many children are just now learning what ratchet means. It'll work. I think she's the best anyway. Well, one of the best. Looking forward to her reign of terror after Takeover.
So would he
They booked KENTA to look like a geek, really. On the receiving end of beatdowns, which isn't a great idea in the first place, but then having the old "rush the ring and get beat down" a couple times doesn't help either.
Fortunately all that shit won't matter in the future. He'll find his way.

I would assume next week is the last week Kenta/Devitt will be anywhere near the Ascension and it couldn't come soon enough. What a TERRIBLE idea to bring in Kenta with all the hype just to saddle him with the Ascension for 3 months. Truly terrible. Especially since he's been getting his ass kicked every time he's around them.
I think they've found the NXT version of it with this tag team with Finn Balor. I think Finn is going to end up being the bigger star of the two though.

Sting's contract will apparently cover six total appearances on WWE television, including his appearance at WWE Survivor Series. Sting would also appear at WWE Wrestlemania 31, and make four appearances in between those events.
Or, or or or...
They were paired up with the Ascension to help the Ascension.
So I'm guessing an appearance at the Rumble and then the RAWs leading up to WM to build his feud with Trips?
Look is important in WWE and I mean just look at Finn. That's a marketable guy. Of course he will end up being bigger.
No Rumble, why bother?
He'll do some Raw's in February and March and there you go.
They're going to love the body paint gimmick if he does that at Takeover.

Do you think it has helped them? By taking two of them to beat up a dude who is like 5 foot 8?
To sell the appeal of the WWE NETWORK duh

The Rumble itself will sell the Network, don't really need to do anything special for that. Would make more sense to do that in September/October.

Let's be honest to my boys the Ascension
Just being AROUND Itami probably helps them and teaches them things.

Hey, what's the best way to make gifs? I got some thoughts about certain december ppvs that I wanna share.
Also Stro I was reading your review of the WCW/NJPW show and I thought to myself - would we all consider the NJPW/RoH shows disjointed as well? As much as we love seeing some of the matchups, not every one is a winner.
Well, its Itami's fault that The Ascension are shining bright while he's currently in a slump right now. They will rise. He will not.
=p
Idk, I've never seen an ROH/NJPW show. WCW sent the weirdest talent for these shows, though. Like Bill Kazmier (against Hashimoto), El Gigante (against Vader, who was both but should have been against Hashimoto instead, and Mr. Hughes the year before), Tim Horner, Tom Zenk...just dudes who were not even close to the guys I'd think you'd send for the big super shows.
I just hope....**hope** they give Kevin Owens a hot debut. They kinda softballed Itami, though they did better with Balor coming to Itami's aid.
I know there is going to be some interaction with Zayn....what I would love to see is Owens cost him the belt, he retires and the next night at the tapings, a wild Generico appears.
But we'll probably have Owens costing him and Zayn refusing to retire to fight Owens. Because this week in their Face To Face, they implied that it is Zayn's choice....not a WWE mandated retirement.

It is Sami's choice. I don't think Regal has even made that an official stipulation unless he did it on this week's show. But it was his decision and he said he'd leave even if it isn't an official stipulation.
