I really think you need to see him live to appreciate him, dude has IT. Seriously one of the most charismatic wrestlers I've ever seen and his in-ring skills are improving. Not sure if he can ever be more than a comedy wrestler in the US, though.
Global Wars is looking pretty hype.
I wonder if the Saturday show will just be NJ guys vs. NJ guys and ROH guys vs. ROH guys...or if they'll do the NJ vs. ROH guys thing again.

Why? Tanahashi is so many levels above Elign it's not even funny.
That seems like a running theme for this event.
People hate Elgin and they were lukewarm towards Tanahashi last year at the Toronto show. Tanahashi will be a super face in this match. I just hope Elgin doesn't embarrass himself.
Lethal vs. Naito and Cedric vs. Okada both sound really good, though.

By ROH standards Elgin has name value. As they run more shows having guys that are known outside of super-hardcores is important.

Honest to goodness I'd be infinitely more psyched for Global Wars if Elgin wasn't on the goddamn card at all. Every match he's in makes me feel like it's a huge waste of NJPW talent.
That's like his default face now.

Nope. Gene was adamant that his vision of a human eutopia with no internal conflicts among the crew due to humanity's "evolved" nature be enforced at nearly every corner.
Tbh Gene's vision of Star Trek is pretty garbo
It would make sense if Elgin ran with the hatred towards him and use it as a gimmick. Do uncanny shit like destroying some of the fan favorites in ROH or even ripping Tanahashi to shreds, but that would be a face move to some people :/.

Solid main event. Matt-o's face, fucking hell, lol.
Yes, but Gene wasn't around to deal with the changing culture of the late 90's. Star Trek needed edge and, if forced in that direction, I'd like to think Gene would be appreciative of the job they did with DS9.
It was kinda dumb, but it served as a base for speculative science fiction stories where the sci-fi was the focus, rather than personal, human drama. Mainly, because Earthlings had their shit together and were presented in this extreme ideal of an enlightened human race.

I can't get motivated for that main event, though. "People who used to work here and sometimes still do vs people who work here"

hmmm now this is the match I can get behind.
I just wish it had a wargames type of stipulation like CZW/ROH.
That match was dope.
Again
That AAA Trios stuff sounds FAR more interesting. All the true interpromtional dream matches are happening in produces like Fortune Dream now anyways.

ACH vs Nak
Briscoes vs Okada/Nak
Styles vs Cole (assuming this happens)
Only matches I really care about. And Styles vs Cole doesn't count as ROH vs NJPW

Bootaaay was right. They should call it the NJPW dudes give ROH dudes the match of their careers event.

Dream match, though.
Yes, but with better wrestlers.
sigh...that is a dream match.
Fuck the Bullet Club these days though. It's like the nWo in that it's played out and done, but they want t-shirt money.
I haven't seen episode 1 or 6 and I have little desire to.

Just wait until they splinter into Bullet Club Black and Bullet Club Red, or one group that calls themselves Bullet Club, the other BizCliz. 2sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet, etc.
*crotch chop*
I was watching some indie in Mexico and Pentagon Jr grabbed a glass bottle, smashed it on the ground, grabbed a shard and started stabbing the dude with it. FREEDOMS, give me Kasai vs Pentagon
No bait, AJ Styles is a better wrestler than anyone in the NWO. Too bad the rest of Bullet Club is a bunch of Virgils.

I greatly enjoy Styles, The Bucks and Kenny Omega but don't really care to see the rest of the Bullet Club ever again. Probably would be easier to keep the Bullet Club a thing if you just oust AJ instead of splintering it as whichever group gets Styles will probably be viewed as the bigger deal.

Christ, these ROH cards are not inspiring buys.
As a real mother fucker, Pentagon only wrestles in real mother fucking wrestling venues. The more it looks like people have dog fights there, the better.

For me he's just a ton of fun. Very charismatic and everything about the way he looks says he shouldn't be a pro wrestler but against the odds he's made it so maybe it's kind of a DBry type Cinderella story, except that Grado doesn't really shine in the ring. I watched the 'The British Wrestler' documentary that Vice did which just made him seem like an even nicer guy.
If it helps I feel the same about Randy Orton, I just don't get it, cause to me he's a bit of a sleeping pill. But loads of American folks seem to adore the guy different strokes I guess!

I mentally lump Grado and Yano together. Santino's probably in the same category.
No one in NJPW this year has done anything to show me that they're going to have an amazing year yet. Some quality matches obviously, but like if you were to ask me about the best workers/most improved of 2015...
None of them come anywhere close to Okabayashi, Yuji Hino, Kento Miyahara, or Hideki Suzuki. BJW and DDT are shitting all over NJPW for me right now and AJPW is on the rise if they keep booking consistent quality matches. Takagi, Horiguchi, and Akiyama got to be the best bookers going right now. I have no idea who books BJW Strong division. I know Ito does the death match stuff.
