So in the span of Mania to Slam, The Hardys have gone from getting one of the biggest pops ever for their Mania return to being in a nothing preshow match at Slam.

WWE.

Hardy's return should've been one night only.

 

[Menome]

There should be a wrestling game where you're able to switch between wrestlers on the fly so you can orchestrate the best match possible rather than straddling the AI.

That janky game which came out last month lets you do it.

 

[Foggy]

People have to reconcile which is the better option between the current Hardyz and the Hardyz broken gimmick filtered through WWE creative.

 

[half a moon]

Broken through wwe creative

 

[Oersted]

Option C, I skip them.

Lol not even the New Day managed to make it into the main card

 

[excelsiorlef]

Metlzer now using 6 more frequently kind of invalidates all of his previous scoring. Not that I give a fuck about how accurate it all is, but you kind of screw yourself when you break your scoring rubric.

Not really Omega/Okada Trilogy were basically the 3 best matches ever and Naito/Omega is just right behind.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Cena/Orton is one of the best rivalries of all time. OF ALL TIME.

 

[Sinatar]

The tag title match is on the pre-show?

lol

Joey Mercury looking real jacked baby

 

[Rimfya]

Summerslam and WM weekend should become three-nighters.

NXT Friday
Workers Saturday
Roman Reigns and friends Sunday

Jeeeeeeezus. He on that Jinder juice.

Title run when?

 

[Hex]

Correct, he has even said himself that this year has been rare and special.

Naito/Omega g1 final was mediocre at best. Every match at WM was better

I feel like this already happened today, but

I have cleaned everything Orton from my memories.

And I will keep it that way.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I haven't even seen Naito/Omega and can tell you this is ridiculous

 

[SallyIsNow]

Orton has had the worst year any wrestler has ever had. Fuck that guy.

If you're bored and you just wanna chat, there are better ways

What's this?

SPRW season 2?

 

[half a moon]

I can see it being a good match that I don't personally like. But within best match ever territory. lul.

 

[Anth0ny]

Give it time. If Omega and Okada continue on this legendary run and this NJPW 2017 work rate stays at this level, it's going to become the new normal. If Omega/Okada-tier matches become the new 5 star match, then the standards are just raised and even getting a 4 star match becomes a lot harder for people who aren't top tier New Japan talent.

[Sweeney Tom]

Orton has had the worst year any wrestler has ever had. Fuck that guy.

Punjabi Prison and House of Horrors back to back was wild

He's lucky he's got Rusev to try hard in a jobbing effort to him to prevent the trilogy

 

[Oersted]

Wrasslemania had Undertaker, Bray, Orton and Triple Haitch on the card.

This is pure slander moon.

 

[Data West]

Every year is Orton's worst year

Orton isn't even comically bad, he's just nothing. He's the nothing wrestler. There's nothing interesting about him positively or negatively.

This year specifically tho, is in a whole new level of shit.

He's done cool rko's. But he does nothing for me beyond that move or as a promo

 

[Sweeney Tom]

David Penzer teased a surprise appearance for tonight's Impact. For what it's worth, last night's Observer: "There have been talks to bring back

Spoiler

Jim Cornette

as a television character."

Also they're finally going to have the new belts https://twitter.com/sescoops/status/898266533889179649

Spoiler was confirmed

Spoiler

It's Cornette lol

These are the main points:

The "Big 4" as it were are WK in January, Sakura Genesis in April, Dominion in June, and King of Pro Wrestling in October.

The New Japan Cup takes place in March and the winner can challenge for any singles title the following month.

The Best of the Super Juniors takes place in May/June, with the winner getting a Junior Heavyweight title shot at Dominion.

The G1 is July/August.

The annual Tag Team Tournament is November/December, with the winner getting a Heavyweight Tag Title shot at WK.

Off months like February, September, and early May typically have smaller shows that still have title matches, but aren't as hyped.

There's a Junior Tag Tournament as well.

Eventually someone will die in a ring on a high-risk move and that'll be it.

Oh wait, it's Japan, nothing will happen and the dead guy will try to come back and wrestle as a zombie.

To New Japan's(and most other promotions) credit, nobody's crashing through stacks of chairs or ladders like Kevin Owens or falling from 25ft in the air for no good reason. As safe as WWE can be, they can throw the switch into crazy dangerous territory.

Err didn't misawa die in the ring?

 

[Egg0]

Orton has had a ridiculously shit year with his Bray and Jinder feud. Only thing of note was this single moment:

Already happened years ago to one of the biggest names of all time in japan

What is gimmick posting? Stating your opinion is a gimmick? So you're gimmick posting?

 

[half a moon]

What if Tim Tebow chose prof wrestling instead of minor leagues.

 

[SilentMike03]

Randy was interesting as an enforcer for Bray, but once he turned it was back to being boring. The guy has no personality. If his finisher wasn't a meme, no one would give a shit about Orton.

Also, I'm not saying anything new here, but people need to stop putting so much importance on Meltzer's ratings. I have a lot of respect for the guy as a journalist who's been following the business a very long time. But as to whether or not Dave gives something five or six stars on his own arbitrary scale - it doesn't fucking matter.

On a belly to back suplex. One of these days someone's gonna die on a flippy move and that will be the end of flippy moves for a whole week

 

[Nocturnowl]

Cena/Orton is one of the best rivalries of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Don't make me get the clip of the TWO Cena/Orton 2011 rumble teases to middling reactions and ending with a silly looking slapfest.

You are more tolerable when you are eating bad sushi and losing it out of both ends.

 

[half a moon]

Watched the last two smackdowns today and the g1 final match. Still got raw. Decent amount of wrasslin today.

You are more tolerable when you are eating bad sushi and losing it out of both ends.

I don't want to get sick again

 

[Bronx-Man]

Misawa died with honor, like ancient samurai of old. Terry Funk will go out the same way, giving his body to the artform he loved.

 

[klonere]

On a belly to back suplex. One of these days someone's gonna die on a flippy move and that will be the end of flippy moves for a whole week

And Saito was doing that same suplex in his next match.

Wrestling.
