As much as I enjoy Cornette, please no. I'd rather listen to him spout off on YT about the "good ole days" and politics. Would also be surprised if they wanted him back, he's talked loads of shit about them.

Fuck those prices in the ear, though. Utterly unreasonable for a t-shirt.

PUMA brand + Footlocker over price stuff.
Mmhmm, mmhmm. Like, I'd foolishly consider buying some of that trash excelsiorlef-style if it were $20. But $35? $45? Get out of town! That's an easy nah.
Haven't kept up with NXT, but isn't Sanity like a Wyatt Family like stable or are they more jokey? Having them be the ones to dunk on a comedic tag team would be.... weird.

Not really. Their gimmick is that they cause chaos. They've gone after more comedic/light hearted characters in the past like No Way Jose. They don't have to actually be involved in the skits. They can just show up and lay out Breezango, squash them, and immediately be established.

I disagree on Roode. I think the whole point of Roddy making it clear he was going after Roode and not the title was so they can have Drew win and spin Roddy and Roode out into a separate one-on-one thing.
Haven't seen Suzuki v Okada. I didn't watch some of the last nights and I'm still not caught up.
Is that a tournament too? I don't know how matches get announced and stuff since there's no weekly show!

It doesn't mean too much this far out, but FWIW there was an odds swing on the WWE Title match this morning. Favorite is now
.
Try 6+. Two hour pre-show with matches. Four hour main show. And a probable overrun.

I hope AJ vs KO is good next time around. The past two times, the two didn't really seem to click and I have no clue if it's because they're holding out for Sunday or what.
The finish is very likely going to play around one of them accidentally hitting Shane, which probably causes him to throw a match on a DQ or at the very least Shane screws one of them out of a victory.

Probably KO if the HIAC rumors are right.

You don't want the face paint if she's a-losin', righ?

Nah not a tournament. The Road to... shows are sort of like house shows that often set up storylines heading into the main PPVs. There are 3 Destruction PPVs. After that the next PPV will be King of Pro Wrestling.
These shows often get used for defences and challenges following G1. Like, Elgin and Juice both beat Omega in the G1 so they both earned a title shot. These could be at Destruction shows or KOPW.
I think they want Omega vs Juice for an ROH show in America though.

Actually I think it'll be AJ winning mostly clean (maybe like a slight altercation with Shane but nothing major), but KO, being the heel, gets upset irrationally and attacks Shane anyways.

Maybe. I'm just wondering since they've made a point of how both KO and AJ have hit Shane accidentally and Shane has the final call on things.

It's really a match they shouldn't have booked, because both need a win. Andrade because he never wins and needs to establish that his latest persona is different. Gargano because he's just starting his singles run.
Ultimately I think Andrade needs it more.

Yeah, but it's not a NJPW show, it's a Taka show that they're streaming.
You need to, one of my favourite matches of the year.
no, it's a series of house shows with tag matches where the tag main events will each have a guy who is either the champ or the challenger for the big show that they're leading up to.
https://www.njpw1972.com/schedule/
The three big shows (Fukushima, Kobe, Hiroshima) will probably all have title matches. I suspect one of them will be headlined by the IC title, one with the IWGP title, and one with either the Jr HW title or the NEVER openweight title.
Matches are generally made off of losses in previous matches. Anyone who beat a champion during G1 has a good chance of getting a title shot (except where one champ beat another).
Sometimes just beating a champ during one of the tag matches is enough, as normally the non-pushed guys eat the pins (like gedo normally takes okada's teams losses)

I don't think we know the English commentary schedule for the fall. The only one I feel certain will have it is KOPW in October.
I have been hearing that Chicago will be Juice v Omega, since he was born in IL and they want to use that to build him more

Im not 100% sure yet. Im not sure if there has been an official announcement yet. The Road to Destruction shows probably won't.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
That main title picture is dire. They need to actually put Black in there since he's the only dude they've got that obviously looks like a main roster star. Meltzer has a big boner for McIntyre but he does absolutely nothing for me, because he was in 3MB.

I wonder if he'll go back to CMLL when his contract is done

At some point you have to be able to look past that. I mean hell, at the same time he was doing that, AJ was in wacky TNA storylines. And at the same time, Juice Robinson was carrying an anchor of a gimmick in NXT. You have to be able to delineate the different points of guys' careers.
He might, but it's also likely he gets to the main roster before then and starts making more money than he would anywhere else. For most guys, that's enough.

That is what I thought too. The schedule announced early this year covered up to the G1 finals IIRC.
We should hopefully also get a ringside of ADAM COLE BAY BAY

I wasn't familiar with Drew before, my first exposure to him was at an AAW show in march and I thought he was fucking awesome
Dude just destroyed an indie flippy dude (DJZ), launching him across the ring, threw him into a wall. And he's fast enough to be exciting beyond power moves. Drew rules
