Clicked the forum for the first time in a few days, saw in order the thread about the assassination of Silent Hills by the coward Konami, and whatever the fuck argument happened a page ago. Yikes
Then saw the PPV card for tonight, Double yikes. Baleedat

I don't think Ibushi will get much in the way of IWGP gold while he's jumping off balconies and wrestling inflatable dolls, but if he signed on with New Japan full-time, rather than a joint contract, that'd be a different matter. Until that time New Japan should without a doubt be prioritising Naito over Ibushi - that'd make for a pretty great feud as well. Naito, the homegrown talent, overlooked for the pretty boy from DDT who comes in and steals his thunder.

Dana is pissed off and slinging his D because it looks like he was not notified of the first time.
So now he is being a hard ass.
He will quickly learn that Rhonda has nothing really left to do in the UFC, she is a carny side show tapping out people in thirty seconds to collect paychecks which while I am sure is not bad, if Dana wants to start playing "I hold the lease" it may not be all that appealing anymore.
wait, what was memorable about Cena's?
zigglers always gets posted when people talk about "biggest pops" and "this is what being over sounds like".
It probably hurts that they have to negotiate with each wrestler as there is no union to represent them.

Makes sense since he's friends with Big Dave.

It was on Raw 1000, in an excellent match against Punk, and Punk turned heel by beating down Rock.

Young women love Ibushi and often burst into tears at the sight of gargoyle faced Naito. In the last six months Kota has semi-mained WK9, won the NJ Cup, and main evented a sold out show at Sumo Hall. New Japan is clearly fine with the split deal with DDT for now and he'll eventually move over full time.
It's pretty much been my vision of how to turn him heel. Team with Ibushi then REALLY go Shawn Michaels with it and put him through the mameshiba store window. Talk about how you were the for the shitty days and how you were looked over for Okada and now Ibushi. How you went to Zero-1 on excursion for those fucks and had to carry Jeff Hardy through a match, unappreciated.
Start wearing a leather jacket and a trained Cody can be his Diesel for the two dudes with tude
Such fear in this girls face
young women cower in fear of ibushi's combo roid and puberty rage
Follow the money.
all i remember from that is Punk doing the shittiest clothesline on Rock

Secretly? It's pretty widely accepted that Punk was easily one of the best rivals Cena's had, with Edge probably being the only other real contender for that top spot.

Was that confirmed?!
Kidd/Cesaro vs New Day on the preshow
Ambrose vs Luke Harper on a Chicago Streetfight
Ziggler vs Sheamus and the loser has to kiss the winners butt
Nikki Bella vs Naomi for the women's title
Roman vs The Big Show in a last man standing match
Cena vs Rusev in a Russian chain match for the US title
Rollins vs Orton in a steel cage where Orton can't use his RKO
and if his poor body can hold up, Daniel Bryan vs BNB for the IC title. Though honestly, I don't see D. Brine fighting today.
I think the show is going to be one big 'eh'. For instance, Harper vs Ambrose should just be a straight up match with no gimmick and the same with Cena vs Rusev. Two potentially good matches ruined by the gimmick that those matches have.

Count me as someone who did not know about the ppv
This would do Mighty Mouse level of buys on regular ppv

Bryan isn't in town yet, and Neville is.
what platfomr you giving that game a shot on? I've always been morbidly curious about ESO but would never have dived in for the €60 up front €15 a month deal
either they are going to move the tag teams on to the main show and have Neville something on the pre or Neville bout to get a crack at a PPV and possibly a title 3 weeks after debut.

I'll "watch" the first hour, watch Game of Thrones and hope Cena/Rusev and Show/Reigns is during that second hour, then watch the final hour for Orton/Rollins for a good overbooking dessert before bed.

I usually hate Go's superkicks because they don't fit him.
But not this one.
Go, you are so dumb.
Mashimo was doing some great heeling it up after the 'fuck your hand' spot. Go doing that spot for real is so stupid. He could have pulled back slightly instead of risking breaking his hand(the only hand he uses for his signature spots) and fucking up the title picture in AJPW and his great run.

I do not think that I will make it to watch the ppv tonight.
At work we ordered these things called the Pitmaster burgers from Sonny's Pitmaster's Pride Burger ..
Crispy bacon, smoked sausage and pulled pork piled high on a juicy burger patty seasoned with our brisket rub and fire-grilled to your liking. Topped with cheddar, onion straws and a drizzle of Sweet BBQ sauce...
I think I will be in the ICU before my second break with congestive heart failure.
That crowd was near legendary and not in the good way at all

Wonder what the over/under is on JBL Kelly Olynyk armbar jokes for tonight? I'm going to go with 2.
Thank you! Will watch later.
I'm doing it on pc since I don't have current consoles. I been curious about this game for a while since I bought the ES anthology. Folks been giving it praises, so I might as well dip. I haven't played a MMO since City of Heroes/Villains so I'm going in with high expectations.

Hearing meltzer talk about Bryan's book is making me interested in it.
Vince only cares if you're a natural at shilling on queue and getting across his own story telling almost word for word.
I love Graves but I have trouble imagining him being able to commentate with the freedom he has on NXT. Which is all pretty bizarro when you consider it's Michael Cole in their ears from Gorilla on NXT.
Hopefully Graves is on Haitch's good side and he'll have some protection for the main show. After I've seen what's happened to Tom Phillips since the move up I'm not too optimistic.
good luck, have fun. the game had plenty of money put into it so at least you can marvel at the last, big MMO ever to be made.
He's taken incredibly quickly to the job but I don't think he's made it past the stage of feeling very scripted/robotic most of the time. He just doesn't feel "real" yet but I'm sure he'll get it eventually.

Cole has always been a decent commentator, particularly when he doesn't have to parrot Vince.

That's a good video. Surprised it hasn't been done before.
Corey's definitely not completely natural sounding yet, but yeah that just comes with time. In general his progress as a commentator seems to be coming along incredibly fast compared to others before him.
I really want WWE to lend out a hand to Tazz. Put him back on Smackdown with Cole and it could be a wonderful reunion and the return of good Michael Cole commentary. I know Tazz has been fucking horrendous on commentary in TNA, but I don't think he ever gave a shit during his time there. Both Cole and Tazz were at their best when paired with each other, I think that chemistry could still be there.
He's proven many times he has the ability to be much better than what we usually get now, and that he generally has a good mind for the business. He happens to be one of the biggest victims talent wise with the way Vince runs the show now. He's a joke in a lot of people's eyes and I'm sure that sucks for him.
i actually liked Cole when he was commentating on Smackdown with Tazz
Edit: ^^ Mahonay knows what's up
