😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 watching death racers.
I've never called Joe since he turned heel in NXT
he carried the entire Balor feud. He's one of the best promos in the WWE right now, maybe even the best.

Here I thought we were getting Ohno vs Itami for Takeover.
Is Ohno ever going to do anything in NXT?

I wouldn't be surprised if he's called up after SS.
Exactly. Omega and Okada are the two gods right now.
Tanahashi, Naito, Suzuki, Ishii and Ibushi are right up there too (Shibata was there too ; _ ; ). Any of those 7 can take a "tier 2" guy and make them look like a million bucks pretty much every time. Then you have the truly great, 4.5* and above matches when you combine any of those 7 together.
The consistency of work in New Japan in unreal right now.

One of my favorite movies scenes of all-time considering the context of why it exists.
Wouldn't be bad, a McMahon is a McMahon.
But unless Bryan could get in the ring with him I do not think it would work.

the truck chase scene where he climbs under the truck with a bullet wound in his arm

And this scene becomes more crystal clear when you put it in that context:
Here is Indy doing Indy Flippy Shit in Temple of Doom, which is set BEFORE Raiders, and getting no-sold by the grizzled vet.
Indy entered the Realm of the Shoot that day.

Gif proves to us Mysterio beating Batista was a joke. Guy too stronk for Indy the cruiser weight's drop kickAnd this scene becomes more crystal clear when you put it in that context:

Had Indy went for a single leg he most certainly would have won.And this scene becomes more crystal clear when you put it in that context:

It's a serial movie akin to the flash Gordon's and the phantom from the 1940s. They're live action cartoons.

Everything in WWE not managed by Vince is on some weird shit right now between the MYC and the Progress/ICW stuff and NXT.
WWE is so close to being great.

I'm shocked no one posted any wrasslin shirts in that t-shirt is ok thread.
I don't disagree but top tier for me is like only 4 or 5 guys that can have great matches with anyone in most situations and have great match variety. They can carry others to high quality matches and they're very consistent. Okada ,Omega, naito, styles etc. Like there elite or franchise players and they're very rare. I think it's crazy that New Japan has like three or four of these guys right now and there firing on all cylinders. I haven't seen alot of the guy but I think ibushi can definitely be one of those guys.
Thought that thread was rather transparent, so figured it best to stay out
They had HHH post a pic of him "officially" welcoming a formally dressed Fish to NXT so I think the deals are done.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Fish / O'Reilly lay low for a couple of months and then re-debut as a team with new names.
I never thought "satanist babyface" would be allowed in pg Mattel-appeasing WWE times, much less get over. But hot damn, Aleister's got 'star' written all over him.
This is always the best way to watch WWE. Expect the worst, hope for the best.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Reigns needs heels and Joe has a "Reigns never beat me" storyline built in.

Nak even at full speed isn't carrying Jinder to anything worthwhile.
There is literally nothing worthwhile about the match other than Nakamura going over for a pop.
Also has Alistair Black ever said a word on camera?
Yeah it makes sense if it was Joe honestly especially given his build lately. It's great that he and Strowman both have taken over these past few months.
I fully expect Joe to win and have the usual indy darling 3 month nothing run as champion, until its Wrestlemania season and they put the belt back on someone that matters (to them of course).
Same for Nakamura in fact, except with the Corbin cash in possibility, Corbin will probably get the belt with the cahs in and then drop it back to Nak in one or two PPVs (because thats what we need, more Corbin v Nak matches)

The thing about Black is that I have no idea what direction they're planning for him because it's either "wins the title immediately" or "gets called up."
I mean, he's obviously the star of the brand at this point. Given how devoid they are of guys who come off as big stars, they probably need to keep him around for a while.

Paul said Brock was going to leave wwe if he loses tho. Did he shorten his contract that much?

Disagree on the Nakamura bit, I sincerely think he's either wwe champ by the time Mania comes around or he's wrestling for the belt. Nakamura is not viewed as an indie darling.
Unless they somehow manage to fuck him up in the next months, that is.

Catching up on G1. Man, Tanahashi/Ibushi was incredible.
I remember when I had to pay $120 to watch the G1 on Ustream. I felt then like I was getting my money's worth.
Now we get all this for $20. Feels like stealing.

I mean, he speaks un-accented perfect English and is over 6 feet tall with a goofy gimmick. Sounds like Vince-bait to me. If he put on 20 pounds of muscle he'd already be on the main roster imo.
I mean, Black hasn't said a single word, so they probably need to get him to cut some actual promos before he's ready for anything close to that. I have no idea if he can actually cut a promo.
Be careful, this is WWE we're talking about. They run what should be easy characters (Bayley is a big one right now) into the ground.

Right, but Bayley is part of the Daniel Bryan booking conundrum where Vince convinced himself he could get people like Bayley and Zayn over by making them lose all the time. They aren't selling Black like that.
If he can even sort of cut a promo I think he's going to be a big star.

I really disagree with this assertion that Bayley is an easy thing. It took two years of storytelling and twists and turns and good decision making to get Bayley to where she was in Brooklyn, and most of the main roster crowd is aware of none of that.
Black on the other hand, is easy. He's got a look, a cool presentation, and can go. I think he'll fill much of the same space as guys like Jeff Hardy, Punk, and Balor do, where fans like them because they just have an intangible thing about them that makes them seem cool to a majority of the audience.

I mean, Balor is an easy target, but he's still pretty fucking over and his SummerSlam match with Wyatt is something they should have been building to from the start. Hell, the dude is probably more awkward on promos than Roman Reigns, he just gets away with it because he has babyface charisma that Roman doesn't (not that this is the performer's fault, it's that people don't want to see Sasuke Uchiha in the wrestling ring). I think Black has the same thing, except he probably can't be worse on the mic than Balor is. And I like Balor, it doesn't really matter that he's an awkward dude on the mic.
I think you'd have to legitimately go out of your way to ruin Black. A lot of the people that wrestling fans think have been "ruined" haven't really, it's that they play weirdo gimmicks (superfan who hugs people; awkward ska-guy) that don't work well to be "booked well" which wrestling fans tend to interpret as "wins all of the time."
