Lion's Pride: The Turbulent History of New Japan Pro Wrestling is pretty good.Does anybody here have any recommendation of books about wrestling? I'm mostly interested in history of it more.

It's not as well researched as I'd like, which is a shame as NJPW's story is fascinating.Lion's Pride: The Turbulent History of New Japan Pro Wrestling is pretty good.

If it'll keep the belt off Reigns/Balor then do it.At Payback it should turn out that Gallows and Anderson are in cahoots with an arriving Balor who arrives to form the Demon club, they all don body paint and work under the true demon of WWE Kane who captures the title off Reigns in time for Summerslam where he can continue his mega feud with Seth Rollins.
...yeah I just wanted to make use of Zach's post title suggestion.
My attitude is fuck it but motherfuckers love it.Bluekaveli is so above this drama. He doesn't even read our posts.

It amazes me that Tanga Loa can be in a match with Juice Robinson and Captain FOOKING New Japan and still be the most boring guy in there.
Everyone knows, I'm not toning down for NOBODY!I thought it was going to be: Blue Love, Blue Blue Blue Love. Just gotta watch out for the Blue Shin Music.

Sometimes, I think you might be the best poster here with your Kane consistency.At Payback it should turn out that Gallows and Anderson are in cahoots with an arriving Balor who arrives to form the Demon club, they all don body paint and work under the true demon of WWE Kane who captures the title off Reigns in time for Summerslam where he can continue his mega feud with Seth Rollins.

Wait, you're telling me that years of working WWE c-list shows as Camacho didn't prepare a guy for a push in NJPW?
I'm shocked, and I'm sure Gedo is shocked too.
Tama Tonga isn't exactly lighting it up during this push either though.
Not sure if Steiner is over or everyone just hates HHH. Either way this match is pretty dull. It is in a good place at the beginning of the card.
edit: now the crowd is revolting. these boos jesus. steiner just dropped hhh...this is going downhill fast.
Steiner is always over, brother. Also, everyone hates HHH in 03.
My wound isn't infected 😃😃😃😃
Using D-Bry to celebrate a medical clearance? Ice cold.
LMAO This fucking exchange!
This is the worst goddamn match. I hate both of them now. There's a reason my rewatch of the early 2000s is all Smackdowns. And even that had a crowd cheering for Steiner to rape Steph on camera.
Angle vs Benoit next thank goodness
Steiner was sloppy as shit, when he came back. Didn't he also get booed as the feud went on?
It was really awful. The story was that Steph would sleep with Steiner if he signed with SD and he didn't want to wait. Terrible.WTF!
In recent weeks, word got out that TNA is in financial ruin and could be forced to “take on an investor” in the immediate future. As reported by the Wrestling Observer, Aroluxe Media has been funding TNA’s recent television tapings and could assume partial control of the company if TNA defaults on their debts.
According to Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, a company called Summit Strategic Investments is in talks with TNA Wrestling about buying into the company. SSI specializes in “transforming troubled assets” and is the company that helped turn around Segway and Fisker Automotive.
What does SSI’s involvement have to do with Aroluxe? As it turns out, Aroluxe Media CEO Jason Brown is the brother of Roger Brown, CEO of SSI. However, the report by Pro Wrestling Sheet states that Aroluxe is NOT in talks to buy a stake in TNA.
In the event that SSI does buy into TNA, it’s expected that TNA will continue to outsource their production (and other functions) to Aroluxe, the company that employs Ron and Don Harris
He got booed about 10 minutes into his first PPV match lol

Alvarez says he heard it was leading to Balor/Joe IV in a cage match, which I sincerely hope its not.Here is the NXT Poughkeepsie card:
Balor vs Joe the rematch
Asuka vs Bliss
Revival vs Alpha
Bayley and Carmella vs Brooke and Royce
Drifter vs Nakamura
Aries vs Girard
Ciampa vs La Sombra
Moss vs Mojo
I wonder if this rematch counts and then at the next NXT pay per view they do Joe vs somebody new.
Team Angle, however, is a stroke of genius.
Jesus Lord.
AJ really looks lame. Unmarketable.
Who's "they"?They said he scored super well in the marketing study they just did.

Rock's next project appears to be to star in and produce a remake of the Robin Williams' film JUMANJI.
