In other news Kalisto just botched a Twitter promo

I can't 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Can't even get a written promo right...

 

[Zach]

Halloween Havoc 98.

You'll get a taste of what made WCW good mixed right in with what made it horrible

Better yet, '97 for that amazing Eddie Guerrero/Ron Mysterio match.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Does anybody here think that a wargames match would be better if it just had one ring?

 

[Zach]

Nah.

 

[half a moon]

Draw me like one of your french girls.

Don't worry, Wargames as a concept never made sense to anyone capable of critical thinking.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

No kidding. It's just a mess of a gimmick match.

 

[half a moon]

How about 3 rings and we call it world war 3!?

 

[Zach]

Whatever, nerds.

 

[Fox318]

Mah gah, Jimmy Garvin with the Stunner in '94!

STONE COLD JIMMY IS HERE

WHAT

 

[DMczaf]

How about 3 rings and we call it world war 3!?

Does that mean World War II had 2 rings ? 🤔

Nobody wants World War 3.

True...

But 97 lacks a true true WCW classic train wreck

 

[Heroman]

They (In this case one of them) talked about the Shibata situation and it was not good.

I wouldn't believe what they said They don't anything.

 

[avengers23]

Haha, ACH, Kyle O'Reilly, Keith Lee, and Drew Galloway are at the Taco Bell near La Boom after the Evolve show.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I wouldn't believe what they said They don't anything.

I've learned my lesson then.

 

[SallyIsNow]

I don't anything too

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Its worth keeping in mind NJPW haven't made a statement on Shibata as far as I can tell. The stuff we know from Meltzer is based on stuff Shibata's friends have said.

Shibata, 37, who remains hospitalized after his 4/9 IWGP title match with Kazuchika Okada at Tokyo Sumo Hall, is said by friends of his to be unlikely to ever be cleared to wrestle again after surgery due to a subdural hematoma from a sick skull-on-skull head-butt spot as a counter to being hit with the rainmaker.

The combination of the length of the match, dehydration and the trauma from the head-butt led to doctors advising New Japan that they would likely never be able to clear him to wrestle in good conscience.

New Japan has not announced this publicly, nor has anything been said publicly about Shibata’s situation after some brief statements in the days after the match.

 

[avengers23]

At least no one is bothering them as they try to get dinner at this Taco Bell.

That is weird that they haven't made any announcements. I wonder if they are trying to figure out what to do next?

 

[half a moon]

Any one else watching GTA RP streams? I'm watching timmac

 

[Pikma]

If Shibata's condition wasn't as severe as reported they would have talked about it publicly by now, so who knows why they haven't addressed it, probably waiting to have more concrete info

 

[Man God]

Matt Striker sucks. I'd rather have Josh Matthews. It's a detriment to LU.

 

[wild wild rice]

Watching Punk vs. Undertaker from Mania 29. I listened to Punk's podcast with Colt Cabana today for the first time today and felt like I should watch this.

 

[Rimfya]

I've not watched LU but what do people think of the 'season' format?

Perhaps WWE could do this with 205 / UK / Women's etc Network-only shows, putting on one after the other? If they keep going the way they're going they'll be producing far too many hours of weekly grappling.

That won't happen; Vince won't do it. In his mind, there is no such thing as a season.

I agree with you, but the way the ship is running, settling down on programing is not an option.

Spanish commentary is infinitely better, Striker was one of the reason I gave up on the show on my first try

I like Vampiro though.

It's fine except they film the seasons so far in advance that it locks in wrestlers for a long time. IIRC a lot of wrestlers were surprised they split the one they have filmed into two making it even longer for people like Ricochet to leave if they wanted.

I dont doubt the severity of Shibata's condition. There is no way you can put your body through that type of thing constantly and be fine, in any case. Just worth keeping in mind Meltzer's sources.

Meltzer theorizes NJPW are being quiet and cautious about it remembering the Fukuda incident.

 

[Rimfya]

Four 12-week seasons per year:

205
UK
Women's
Southpaw Regional Wrestling

Then a 4-week Network Super Show. Do it.

My Spanish is no bueno.

Does he do the French commentary? I can manage that!

Why would any of the wrestler sign up for that?

 

[Syder]

WWE will never have an off-season but it's pretty much inarguable that they should.

Is Pikmark of the Latino Heat variety!?

Watching House of Hardcore....how many matches do you think Dreamer has lost over the years? What do you think his winning percentage is?
