[avengers23]

this is a match I didn't know I wanted to see

A bank robber vs. an (alleged) drug user!

Someone book for this for the Scenic City Invitational or something.

So anyone with a list of the must see 2017 G1 matches (so far) now I have free time?

I put up a list here:

Hot damn Kojima vs. Okada and Elgin vs. Omega were good.

It's hard to pick just ten matches from the G1 so far. So, I'm not limiting myself to just ten. Here are my favorite so far:
Night 1: Hirooki Goto vs. Tomohiro Ishii
Night 1: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi
Night 1: Tetsuya Naito vs. Kota Ibushi
Night 2: Juice Robinson vs. Michael Elgin
Night 2: Kenny Omega vs. Minoru Suzuki
Night 3: Tomohiro Ishii vs. Togi Makabe
Night 3: Kota Ibushi vs. Zack Sabre Jr.
Night 4: EVIL vs. Juice Robinson
Night 4: Minoru Suzuki vs. SANADA
Night 4: Kazuchika Okada vs. Michael Elgin
Night 5: Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Yuji Nagata
Night 5: Kota Ibushi vs. Tomohiro Ishii
Night 6: Satoshi Kojima vs. Michael Elgin
Night 6: Tama Tonga vs. EVIL
Night 6: Juice Robinson vs. Minoru Suzuki
Night 6: Kazuchika Okada vs. SANADA
Night 7: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Bad Luck Fale
Night 7: Kota Ibushi vs. Togi Makabe
Night 7: Tetsuya Naito vs. Yuji Nagata
Night 8: Juice Robinson vs. Tama Tonga
Night 8: SANADA vs. Toru Yano
Night 8: Minoru Suzuki vs. EVIL
Night 8: Kazuchika Okada vs. Satoshi Kojima
Night 8: Michael Elgin vs. Kenny Omega

Wow, I didn't think that I'd end up recommending every tournament match from Night 8, but it was a really good spate of matches.

From Night 9, I'd include:

Hirooki Goto vs. Zack Sabre Jr.
Tetsuya Naito vs. Tomohiro Ishii

I love you avengers

>No Omega vs Yano
Fuck avengers.

 

[avengers23]

>No Omega vs Yano
Fuck avengers.

SANADA vs. Yano was the best Yano match this year. And once you've seen one Yano match, you've seen them all.

That said, Omega vs. Yano was a fine comedy match, but you can get better comedy wrestling from Dragon Gate and, say, a Stalker Ichikawa match.

What day is it from?

I'll add it to the list OIN.

The only problem with new Japan is that it's almost TOO good.

Thanks very much.

Sounds like it's been one hell of a tournament so far

This week's Observer already out?

 

[Phoenixazure]

On this Rizin event, one of the English commentators they have is translating the Japanese promos as they speak...

NEW JAPAN, HIRE THIS GUY!

I think that was the original idea for yoshitatsu for wrestle kingdom and all that came of that was a lot of yes and a random shoot on aj styles

If NJPW cared about that they would've done it by now

 

[SallyIsNow]

Quit trying to make Pikma happen, it's not going to happen.

 

[Carnby]

Stuff like this is probably why WWE is not thrilled with Enzo:

What a snitch.

 

[Anth0ny]

They need a Bill Trinen who can instantly translate into understandable English, not a Japanese dude with a thick accent who translates to broken English.


can't be that hard

The guy on Rizin was amazing. I hope he's a wrestling fan.

You go work on a Sunday.

Real Americans work eight days a week, Jack!

The most devastating move in women's wrestling.

Bless you, Menome.

Ugh, I hated this guy after he said that.

You're doing the lords work, Sinatar. Thank you.

Black kids are dogs ....

Not disturbing at all. A dog doesn't need to be put down. A dog with rabies that is biting people, yeah, please put that dog down.

I have no issues with police shooting first if someone is acting aggressive with a deadly weapon. Which in this case, they could have been. Sadly it's just as likely they were just too trigger happy going in.

 

[Damn Silly]

Black kids are dogs ....

Fucking hell.

 

[Syder]

Black kids are dogs ....

Another amazing hot take from NeoGAF... Jesus fucking Christ...

Not even black and the US* scares the shit out of me. Not even white Australian women are safe from trigger happy cops.

No wonder Jesse "The Body" Ventura moved to Mexico.




*Major US cities

 

[UrbanDandy]

This is dark. Was this taken from another thread, Beefy?

 

[Egg0]

Wow that dude didn't catch a ban for that?

 

[Foggy]

In all fairness, he clarified that what he said wasn't disturbing at all. Then it became just an opinion. He's covering all the bases. Airtight.

 

[Bronx-Man]

I'd rather soak in my high from last night's ROH than read some dumb shit like that.

 

[Zach]

Maybe no one has brought the posts to a moderator's attention. That's what you're supposed to do in these situations. Try it, Beefers.

 

[UrbanDandy]

On a lighter note, the latest Botchamania ep with those Cena outtakes had me LOLing. He'll be the next Rock.

I'll take ny chances living in US than Mexico. I'm Mexican and I won't go near that land

I reported man. Fuck that shit

That thread is FUCKED

The mental health worker who said it wasn't ok to hit a dude who was saying women should get rapped with a bat. But saying a black kid with mental health issues and a bb gun should get shot, scares the shit out of me.

They are a Trio

 

[Mahonay]

Lol a large group of Midwesterners just got on my subway car, got crushed by the doors since they chose to go through the same door and took too long, then all fell over on top of each other the moment the train started moving.

Welcome to New York.

Bigots enjoy each other's company

Jay Briscoe is still whining and complaining about Dalton Castle.

I won't know what to do with myself without a wwe ppv until August 20th. What am I suppose to do with these Sundays???

You have 8 days of the G1 to catch up on

Is there anything as sad as Macho Man playing second fiddle to Hulk Hogan in WCW in wrestling nowadays?

 

[TimeEffect]

Yeah, he's getting a push, all right.

A push down some stairs back into the underground for this underdog, brother!

(If you're citing the Inquisitr report, for example, that has no sources. It sounds like something someone just made up out of thin air.)

I'm watching Jericho's Smackdown return and right off the bat oh god... Phillips with the Michael Cole line.


Off a cliff?

In a manner Vince can relate to.

Disgusting.

Preserved for crow eating. Y'all just made the list

WHAT I WANT THE LINK!

Somewhere on /r/squaredcircle fellow Zaniac.

How about Hogan stealing the world title from Bret Hart?

I should be more specific. I mean in the past five years or so.

Can you imagine the absolute shitstorm if WrestleMania IX happened in 2017?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Can you imagine the absolute shitstorm if WrestleMania IX happened in 2017?

Yes.

 

[TimeEffect]

Just imagine Sami Zayn matches

Sami Zayn vs. The Phenomenal AJ Styles

Sami Zayn vs. The Face of America Kevin Owens Part 3

Sami Zayn vs. The Artist Shinsuke Nakamura

Sami Zayn vs. The Free Agent John Cena

Sami Zayn vs. The Viper Randy Orton

Sami Zayn vs. The Bulgarian Brute Rusev

And that's just Smackdown. If the roster gets a shakeup:


Sami Zayn vs. The Architect Seth Rollins

Sami Zayn vs. The Swiss Superman Cesaro

Sami Zayn vs. The Beast Brock Lesnar

Sami Zayn vs. Finn Balor

Sami Zayn vs. Jason Jordan

Sami Zayn vs. Jeff Hardy

Sami Zayn vs. Mustafa Ali


I'm ready for years of excellent Sami feuds.

 

[DMczaf]

Sami Zayn got a raise

 

[Egg0]

I'm ready for years of excellent Sami feuds.

Aren't they also thinking of sending people back to NXT? 🤔
