If Cody can get a title shot with Okada...
There hasn't been a Suzuki match without interference in years fam.

Okay, that's kind of a fair point, but people still seem to think like they'd be the most pushed guy ever if they went over there. I mean, I'm not saying they wouldn't get a good position in the company, but not as good as people think they'd get.
Sheamus is the one guy I'd like to see wrestle some NJPW guys because his style would work so good there.
Then no one would be champ if we use that test.

Extremely rare footage of Suzuki showing anyone any amount of respect with the fistbump there.

Wouldn't we have said the same thing had someone suggested AJ after his TNA run?
Like if someone had called AJ a "future IWGP champ" in 2012, they would have been laughed at.

This makes me so happy.

That's great.

Fashion Peaks the return
McMahon as Cole. Book it
I thought we were cool man
Ya'll really like to write some fan fiction huh? I doubt they are putting announcers in place for a slap without it being consensual.

Think about it
EW covered it as well

Fashion Peaks was based on the original series so they could do another based off the new series.

It actually works in the context of the story Breezango are telling.
I think they will go back to it since it's generating good buzz.
So you actually think that's the match? You think that John Cena isn't wrestling at Summerslam?
It's 3 weeks away, I guarantee you things will change, most likely into a triple threat.

Gosh I hope not. We already have a four way for one Championship.
I'm not sure if you missed it or you're just pretending but they kickstarted a Cena vs Corbin feud, just after his match with Nakamura, with a table spot.

Really it stemmed from the dude trying to set up a patreon for gif'ing shit, then throwing a tantrum when he was rightly mocked and exposing himself as human garbage. It was quite the meltdown haha.
What was the last one, probably Sakuraba at WK a few years back?

Cena's working with Corbin.
Also, looking at the Summerslam card, it looks right now like there will be at least FOURTEEN MATCHES.

Ok I'll go back further:
Kojima, Makabe,Nakamura, Nakanishi, Mutoh, Nagata, Lesnar
That brings us to 12 years of IWGP champions.
Chad Gable doesn't live up to those guys either (when you factor in how rare Gaijin champions happen)

That's never going to happen
What's amazing is that Omega is just one tiny step behind him and right there too is Naito
Love that
Not everyone is Dusty's kid
Other than Omega or Naito that is correct

I keep thinking the Bayley storyline might be a work, but the fact that so many wrestlers on Twitter are reaching out to her (even heels like Royce and Kay) might make me think otherwise.
Right now? No. But he potentially could be given his athletic background and what he's already shown given his short time in the business. That's literally all that is being said.
Again, no one would have pegged AJ as IWGP champ when he was doing storylines with Claire Lynch. Not to say Gable is as good as AJ, but the point is that these things can kind of come out of nowhere, and Gable has as much potential as anyone right now

You can tune into the network three weeks from now and not miss a beat. It's quite brutal.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't know that it's 100% a work, but I would be surprised if it wasn't a work. It took them 12 hours to figure out Finn needed surgery and I heard about it from Meltzer 3 hours after it happened.
HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Exactly. Any other year, Omega is your wrestler of the year, easily. Instead we have this situation where anyone having a match with Omega or Okada will probably have the best match of their career... and then when the both of them match up, you get a 6 star match.

The guy that cashes in loses pretty much all of the time up until the cash in because the briefcase largely gets held by cheating heels.
You are forgetting that it is completely 100% in-character for this company to be carny enough to not tell the other wrestlers it is a work. When Kevin Owens debuted, Vince told Owens to stand around in his gear and not tell anyone what he was there for and to tell anyone that pressed it to go fuck themselves.

Man, that Bring it to the Table must have been rough. Listening to last nights WOL and 80% of the messages are people furious with the show.
is it me you're looking for
Why the fuck would anyone watch that shitshow lmao

Yeah. I fully expect Corbin to lose to Cena, Nakamura beats Jinder, and Corbin cashes in and wins.
It's just pointless for the most part. JBL says dumb things. I don't know why people get so worked up about it. All those WOL callers sounded so offended.

seriously, they are no Juice Robinson and he is slowly still working his way up the card
He's better than Scott Norton and Bob snapp the other gaijn champs .and he also better than Nakanishi and maybe makabe and the dude has only been wreslting for a few years guys is going to be a star if he quits WWE

Well yeah, but we don't typically see response like this on worked injuries.
Like I said, I still probably think it's a work, but I have a fair amount of doubt too.

Got to the episode of Nitro where the Wolfpac is formed. Nash, Savage, and Konnan so far.

If they're working an injury, it makes plenty of sense for other wrestlers to sell it like it's real.
That's the point: they don't want you or Bryan Alvarez or anyone to know if it's legit. They WANT you questioning whether Bayley is making her match.
The fact that 2 days out they "know its a shoulder injury" says work to me. They had a full on diagnosis for Finn Balor at like 8 a.m. the next day, one for Rollins the next day, and again for Rollins the morning after the Joe injury and I first saw that reported like an hour after Raw ended.
