Nakasnora

 

[Heroman]

I wonder how Nak would go in NJPW now. The match quality in the last year is insanely high and he only pushed himself in really big shows.

It is a shame how disappointing he has been in WWE for the most part. He was easily in my top 5 for a few years now I dont even miss him in NJPW.

He is amazing wreslter , he would be a top star and probably a bigger star since Tanahashi is hurt.

 

[Mahonay]

All they had to do was match Nak up against AJ the moment he came in. ALL THEY HAD TO DO. A familiar opponent for him, and they could show people what makes him so special. Just go nuts.

But no, let's put him against two wrestlers literally no one gives a shit about and have boring ring work. Fuck off. Jesus.

 

[klonere]

Nakamura is arguably as or if not more banged up than Tana.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

How about Cena saying "Bulge Area" ? See that shit is kinda offensive and lame as shit

Bulge Area is some JBL is Poopy level shit.

 

[Mahonay]

Nakamura is arguably as or if not more banged up than Tana.

Fucked up Nakamura should still be getting better matches than he is.

He'd still be a top 3 or 4 guy. Nakamura knew exactly how to play to the New Japan crowd and can work at a top level enough to stay over.

 

[Egg0]

I want to see how they handle AJ/Nak when it's time to pull the trigger.

Spoiler

I thought it was going to be at Summerslam, but doesn't seem like it now. If it is, it won't be for a title.

I won't defend Nak's previous performances, but last night.... It was against Corbin

Spoiler

and he was booked to win via nutshot, like come on.

 

[Mahonay]

LOL @ Lana whiffing two roundhouse kicks in a row on Charlotte.

I feel bad for Charlotte having to sell for her.

 

[slightconfuse]

Saw Spider-Man yesterday it is probably the best MCU movie.

There was a pretty good swerve in it

I have no idea why they keep putting Lana in matches, she's completely lost out there

Fascinating. Thanks for the info.

I was surprised how good this movie was, for real. I actually laughed out loud at a lot of things. For being a 2nd reboot it was quite the accomplishment. It also fit perfectly into the Marvel Universe.

I absolutely loved

Spoiler

the cameos by CAP. Just awesome

I mean, the Smackdown women's roster is a joke. Tamina is really bad too in my opinion. She's SO slow, you can see her thinking out each individual basic-ass move. And the only person they were missing in this other than the champ was Carmella, who is a comedy wrestler.

It's ridiculous how much faster the action picked up when it was Charlotte and Becky in there against each other. Everyone else feels like jobbers. Other than Natalya I guess. I will say in Naomi's defense, she has picked up her ring work quite a bit from where it was before. She can at least have a proper wrestling match, even if it's super sloppy often times. Still better than Lana/Carmella/Tamina.

i read she missed one then legit got her with another in an accidental stiff

Naomi has the worst signature move with those kicks.

Tag Team wrestling is great! Too bad all teams can't stay together...

You know why.

If she removed those stupid can-can kicks it would instantly make her matches more believable. God they are horrendous.

[Insert current Marvel movie] is probably the best MCU movie is my favourite kind of fainted praise

I don't think anyone thought that of Dr. Strange. Spidey certainly was one of the better ones.

 

[Ithil]

some people on twitter are really mad about the american flag touching the ground during cena vs rusev

Are they also mad about the Bulgaria flag being dropped on the floor repeatedly?

 

[Beefy]

Why is Marvel TV racist? Playing hip hop every time Luke Cage on scene in Defenders apparently smh

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

good god at the luke cage bit in that defender review

So the back says "wrestling was a mistake" ?

edit: I finally finished watching GLOW. Solid stuff. Marc Maron is truly amazing.

 

[slightconfuse]

When did Seth become an Anarchist??

 

[Mahonay]

Holy god damn Christ that shirt

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

He's always been into anarcho-punk and hardcore.

He is but I couldn't help it that he sounds like Rollins throughout the series. LOL

Anarchist Seth freakin Rollins who is also a architect

heh. Never even made that connection.

 

[Mahonay]

So it's Natalya and Naomi at SummerSlam. Hello preshow.

He is but I couldn't help it that he sounds like Rollins throughout the series. LOL

LOL you're right.

 

[Heroman]

Why didn't Randy Orton go through those holes in the cages they were huge.

 

[Data West]

i legit dont understand how anyone can like yoshihasshi

he is so dull in the ring. he has zero conviction or presence.

From what I've seen, he's pretty bland.

The gap between Charolette/Becky and everyone else is pretty wide IMO. Sasha is closest, but I think is held back some by her sloppiness and dead weight rag doll selling.

Are they setting Rollins up a la Insane Icon Sting?

 

[Menome]

So I've got them somewhere I can remember, and for those that missed it, the return of Menome's Predictions of Potential Injury & Death™ for Battleground:

Jinder Mahal vs Randy Orton
John Cena vs Rusev
AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens
The New Day vs The Usos
Shinsuke Nakamura vs Baron Corbin
Charlotte for the Women's 5-Way
Sami Zayn vs Mike Kanellis
Tye Dillinger vs Aiden English

I got 5/8 right! THE CURSE IS OVER!

Yoshi is over in a participation award kind of way. He was on the roster when New Japan got hot and isn't terrible so fans are happy when he actually wins something.

 

[Foggy]

Yoshi Hashi is incredibly dopey which I find oddly endearing. That and his senton is a vulgar work of art.

 

[wild wild rice]

Seems I made the right decision to watch G1 night 1 last night.

I have no idea what could possibly get me to resub to WWE at this point.

...

Reminds me of 1996 WCW when all the commentary would completely shit on the NWO at all times. Except these dudes are just shitting on Orton lol

The hindi clip from when Khali comes out is amazing:

[Mahonay]

WWE, where a Kevin Steen vs AJ Styles match will be filled with rest spots!

WTF is this shit.

Like all KO matches have the rest spot. He doesn't call himself the headlock master for nothing. It's like Orton's headlock bad to me.

No. That's not what I mean.

This entire match has been move, rest spot, move, rest spot, move, rest spot, move, rest spot. They just lay there or go for a pin on a basic move. No holds.

wild wild rice, i ordered that book. Thanks for the recommendation.
