and promptly goes back to the 'who cares' opener trios.

Well, at least people get to watch the who cares trios now instead of not being on any sort of tv now.

Seriously guys, CMLL management are the dumbest wrestling minds on the planet

 

[XenoRaven]

I want to talk to someone who is legit Kevin Steen level head in the sand in terms of international stars and see how they feel about these cards. It would be an interesting perspective.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Ohhhh, that's a good point - I guess I forgot about that match because I wasn't as impressed as everyone else seemed to be and preferred Okada/Tanahashi. It was still a great match, though.

Okada/Tanahashi I felt was a step back from their previous matches. It still told a good story, Okada feeling he has surpassed Tanahashi and Tanahashi no longer taking Okada lightly, and basically tapping into his inner evil dick to win the match.

Nak vs. Ibushi was just a classic underdog battle though, with Ibushi busting out tons of new moves to try and prove he belongs with the big boys and Nak being Nak and treating him like shit.

Also, while you can make the argument that Nak going over was the right booking, Tana going over only to be made AJ's bitch made no fucking sense.

I went ****3/4 for the former and ***** for the latter, so I can understand if one likes one more than the other.

 

[FallingEdge]

I mean....


What can you even do with ROH talent that would be good.

O'Reilly vs Shibata
ACH vs Honma
Cole vs Suzuki

 

[Data West]

Hideki Suzuki trashing Wrestle-1 constantly has been the fucking highlight of this entire feud. Squashing Funaki, burying Hama, shit is hilarious.

O'Reilly vs Shibata
Cole vs Suzuki

O'Reilly's weak submissions and strikes against the strongest, stiffest striker in wrestling(no offense, Mean Mark)
Suzuki would trash Cole quicker than he thrashed Harada

 

[Serpentine]

where the heck are ACH and Sydal

 

[XenoRaven]

I'm ok with any Suzuki vs. ROH guy matchup as long as the booking is "Suzuki beats the fuck out of this guy".

 

[slightconfuse]

Old man Liger going to stink up that match :/.

Liger is still dope.

 

[FallingEdge]

looks like ROH updated the 4 way to a much better match imo

O'Reilly's weak submissions and strikes against the strongest, stiffest striker in wrestling(no offense, Mean Mark)
Suzuki would trash Cole quicker than he thrashed Harada

They may wrestle for ROH but bring the PWG versions of Cole and O'Reilly and those matches are money.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

I'm sorry but this is probably the worst looking card for a interpromotional event I have ever seen.

No Bata, No Yano, No Funky Weapon....wtf??

I think NJPW will be running shows at the same time so they can't split their rosters up too bad, which is why I'm surprised all the main eventers are going.

So who the hell is Jay Briscoe going to face? All of the NJPW guys have been used up in the prelim matches. Are we going to get AJ vs. Briscoe champion vs. champion?

Also it looks like Adam Cole is out of the IWGP title match on night one.

 

[bean breath]

Well this is good news, apologies if this was posted, WWE 2K15 comes to PC. This is good for us non-console owners.

Gamespot: WWE 2k15 comes to PC

Wait, those Cena quotes are a shoot? I thought Vince McMahon was putting in overtime on gaming side.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Old man Liger going to stink up that match :/.

Liger's still a great worker, he just doesn't throw out 20 powerbombs and superkicks. I'd like more Jushin Liger's and fewer Michael Elgin's in wrestling if possible.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Briscoe vs Shibata
ACH vs Honma
Fish vs Suzuki

Fixed.

 

[slightconfuse]

Wait why is this a 4 way. Lethal/ nak and liger/ Mark are way better matches

 

[Serpentine]

Honestly i don't think the 4-way looks bad, but Nak being relegated to multi-man matches while dudes like Adam Page and Watanabe get showcases is wack

Also it looks like Adam Cole is out of the IWGP title match on night one.

Spoiler

It's not good news if you're familiar with 2k Sport's PC ports.

 

[Toki767]

Liger will work his ass off when you put him in a match that matters. Just look at that match against Cole last year.

He basically stops giving a damn when he's put in 6-man tag matches to open a show like in virtually every New Japan PPV.

Wait really? No Cole? Where did you hear this?

If that really is the case, the only match really worth watching is Briscoes vs Okada/Nakamura. It will still be fun to go for the experience but man, talk about a disappointment.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Okay, Briscoe vs. Fish should be awesome.

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[JavyOO7]

Ah, man. I love long reigns. Look at Jay Lethal go with his TV title for over 380 days now.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Wait, nevermind. ROH isn't officially revealing who AJ's opponent will be but all signs point to Cole. So forget what I said.

EDIT: Somebody make sure FallingEdge is still with us.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Who is Moose facing from NJPW?

Cmon now

I won't lie though, Moose's penis looks really sad there.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Who is Moose facing from NJPW?

Cmon now

Honma.

 

[Data West]

hopefully honma so honma can have a loser nobody to pin

heh, I'm still here!

And I should rephrase the fun to go. To the people who are going, I'm sure it will be fun. I didn't get tickets because it was on a Monday/Tuesday. If it was on a weekend, I would have made the effort to get out to Philly. My goal this year is BOLA but don't know where I plan to stay. Seems to be out of the way from LA or the beach cities and I really don't want to rent a car.

 

[British Monsoon]

I and all the other Honmaniacs would surely be pissed if Honma's 'big' win was against fucking Moose, of all people. Or any ROH guy.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Everyone from ROH always looks like a bunch of old bikers to me.

 

[Serpentine]

Briscoe/Fish could be pretty good, actually, even if it's clearly the last match they had to make and there was no one else left. unless they're gonna set up a Briscoes/reDRagon feud or somethin

Who is Moose facing from NJPW?

Cmon now

Fale

 

[Jeevesmeister]

They look like a bunch of dudes. Just some dudes. Which I feel like is the worst possible look a wrestling show could have.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

LOL Moose vs Honma? I'll watch that. I want Prince Nana to represent Honma in NJPW. It would be great.

I and all the other Honmaniacs would surely be pissed if Honma's 'big' win was against fucking Moose, of all people. Or any ROH guy.

You think Honma would win?

 

[FallingEdge]

Last year's ROH/NJPW show > this year

yes, I am being biased.

 

[jred2k]

Everyone from ROH always looks like a bunch of old bikers to me.

Even their promo shots are too fucking darkly lit.

 

[bean breath]

Does anyone know if Strobogo will be recapping this show?

 

[NoRéN]

You could probably stay in Santa Monica. It would be somewhat straightforward to get there since you could take the 405 north. However, it's the 405. It's always packed. Not too familiar with public transport in the area but you'll probably have to rent a car.

 

[dream]

Doubt it. He changed his name and left in a huff after Heel destroyed him.

 

[Data West]

Akebono & Yutaka are a WAY better tag team than they have any business being.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Man I have yet to look at anyone on ROH's roster and say "yeah, he looks cool"

 

[NoRéN]

Doubt it. He changed his name and left in a huff after Heel destroyed him.

what's the story behind this?

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Doubt it. He changed his name and left in a huff after Heel destroyed him.

That was Wesker. stro just got banned for being a hateful ass outside this thread. Again.

 

[Sephzilla]

By the way wasn't his ban only a week? It should be up by now

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Not yet.

 

[dream]

I don't know about that. TheWesker would never go to Reddit to drum up votes for Daniel Bryan on a wwe.com poll, as Heel caught Strobo Madness doing.

 

[Serpentine]

2 weeks, i think

Doubt it. He changed his name and left in a huff after Heel destroyed him.

lmao

How about the fact that any posts that people quote from TheWesker link back to posts made by Macho Madness, or the fact that strobogo's regular account is still under the strobogo's name (and banned).

Wait, are you saying that TheWesker was strobo's alt?

 

[Kaladin]

You know, when I looked at his previous posts yesterday, I could have sworn Macho Madness was strobogo.

Guess it was The Wesker.....eh.

 

[Alucard]

Oooh, nice.
