You know how it is. That's why I didn't sign up. I'm my own man.

You can change the world with a tweet, brother. Maybe Finn thinks Jinder will stop with a tweet.

Yep. They will never fire her, just keep making things slowly more miserable until she quits on her own.

It got rewarded.

The spot was extremely stupid and irresponsible, but I don't think it sucked. If Shibata hadn't injured himself I think people would be loving it.

Subdermal Hematoma. Usually caused by tears in there filling with blood. He suffered partial right side paralysis at one point that went away...the dude's style is headbutts, strikes and generally toughing through punishment as a legit hard ass not giving a fuck.
Shibata ...should stop. He can't do that style anymore and I doubt he could change in the ring. Its hard to lose that much but its better than losing all the rest of your life. He needs to find something to fill his life with besides testing his own toughness in the ring now. I wish him the best of luck. It wont be easy for a guy like him.

What is this from? Don't tell me this is him after his injury. That would be too sad.
If he doesn't stop, I don't think I can watch another match, to be honest.

Ishii just seems inhuman with the amount of abuse he takes.
No, its from an interview for the G-1 last year I think.
It's still breaking my heart.

I ecco the stiff headshots and neck stuff need to be phased out of New Japan before someone dies in the ring.
I just can't deal with that stuff much anymore. It's just not fun to watch.
They have used it to set themselves apart recently and totally leaned into it way to much. Only so many close calls and spots that feel 2 inches away from a broken neck can happen before it all comes crumbling down.

If Shibata has to retire, this image will be burned in my brain for the rest of my life. I want you to know that.
It's super fun to see guys stiff the shit out of each other, but this is the end result. It's just not worth it. I hope Shibata can come back, and he changes his style to protect himself.

Shibata suffered the fate a lot of wreslters suffer. He stood out because of his style but his style hurt him

I thought after Benoit folks would be completely against using your head as a literal weapon, but folks just get desensitized to it again until...well, this happens.
After Daniel Bryan retired, the FIRST thing that came to mind was this shit. Dudes need to cut this shit out.

This might make me sound like a bloodthirsty monster, but I don't think stiff hits and head drops should be phased out completely. But they should be used sparingly, when a statement needs to be made. Part of Shibata's problem is that he does this shit every match. He doesn't save it for a dramatic moment.
One of my all time favorite moments from the few years I watched NJPW is when Ishii dropped the face of the company on his goddamn head with a wicked Steiner Screwdriver to beat Tanahashi during the G-1. That was a great moment and no one had to go to the hospital and no one's career was in great jeopardy. That kind of stuff can really make a match, but again, this stuff has to be saved for a special moment.
Edit: Think about the time Punk hit Cena with a piledriver on RAW because the GTS didn't put him away. It got a huge pop, because the piledriver is "banned". It was saved for a special moment, in a match that was part of a bitter feud between two top stars.

those headbutts that Galhagher does, are they safe or what? I honestly cant tell.
They're safe. They're to the chest which is a much softer part of the bod and the impact's down to a slap. The idea behind a headbutt is that you connect the hard part of your skull against the nose of the other guy because you're likely to break their nose and it's soft enough to not damage yourself. If you're headbutting somebody else's forehead you're asking to get yourself concussed.

That was Punk and Cena's idea, Vince yelled at both in the back for doing it. Punk almost got suspended, instead they both got fined because Cena said it was his idea. It was a dumb idea that could have resulted in injury and luckily hasn't been attempted since
