This is why the G1 is so great, there's so much potential, it's really hard to tell where it's going to go - if Naito's ready (and I'm not sure that he is), I could see he being one of the major players in his block, either with a streak of wins early on, or a late rush towards the end. A lot depends, however, on how they're handling the briefcase this year - Okada has said if he wins he won't defend the title until Tokyo Dome (so Okada isn't winning, basically), whereas Shibata has said that if he wins he won't wait for the Tokyo Dome. Up until Tanahashi & Okada were announced in the same block, I was sure they were going for Okada vs Tanahashi V at Wrestle Kingdom, but now I agree with you, Tanahashi probably won't win this year. Realistically, I could see a few scenarios, from most to least likely;
. Shibata wins, challenges Okada for the next big PPV (Destruction, on September 29th)
. Nakamura wins, waits for Tokyo Dome to challenge Okada, but tensions rise between the two CHAOS members between now and then.
. Goto wins and, whether at Destruction or the Tokyo Dome, they finally pull the trigger on a IWGP title run for him.
. Naito wins and they build Naito vs Okada for the Dome.
. Anderson wins, becoming the first gaijin to do so in 24 years.
. Suzuki wins, the CHAOS vs Suzuki-gun feud continues and Suzuki defeats Okada at the Tokyo Dome.

If you're solely looking for the best in-ring product on the planet, then yeah, I agree that there's just no beating New Japan - but, that's not to say there haven't been some fantastic matches in WWE this year, it's just that it is a different style and presentation and a fair few people simply prefer that style.
I had a dream where Sting finally came to WWE and was making an announcement when the Shield (with a 4th member) attacked him. This led to Sting gathering a group of guys, perhaps even a squadron, and enacting WAR GAMES: THE MATCH BEYOND. It's the best way to bring back War Games that doesn't involve Dusty.

Anderson winning the G1 is starting to sound even more tasty. It would absolutely cement him as a top tier star, as a gaijin winner, and he could get incredible heat. Just incredible. It's something to consider.
Naito? Not this year, unfortunately.
Nakamura isn't a bad pick, and I think finally putting CHAOS tensions out and displayed and acting on them could be amazing.

ugh. if that happened I might stop watching NJPW, or say I would but watch it anyway. You know that routine people do in here when there's a bad Raw? "I'm done with WWE" then they're back? That'd be me.
Fuck Devitt.
Can't giva TNA much credit at all, but one thing they consistently do right is turn away viewers from their product for prolonged periods of time.
"People hate Hulk Hogan? Lets employ his daughter!"
Good luck everyone.
I've been playing Pikmin 3 and Earthbound and I'm loving it.
Fuck the haters, that thing's great. I will support until they're only one game coming out every other year!
Come on now, we all know it's Big E who would legit fuck you up in this scenario. I'd be more worried about him.

I agree. I don't think anyone here would mind if Big E had beaten this m-word into a coma.
There was a UFC fan fest earlier this year where someone attacked The American Gangster Chael P. and security essentially took him to the back and beat the shit out of him. I think that should be the standard response when a fan attacks a sports entertainer. Beat them into comas.
Man how is Santino? Was he out for surgery?
Is that Earl tackling him? Good work!

I think I was actually at that show. He got off lightly too. I remember walking out of the Saddledome or Rexall or whatever it was thinking that the guy needed just a little bit of brain damage to teach him a lesson.
God dammit, I had front row by the entrance ramp, went all the way to the payment final click and decided to look in another window to see if I could grab front row opposite side of the camera. I was unable to so I decided to take my tickets when there was still a minute left. Then I got a "email addresses don't match error. So I had to retype those in. Then I submitted again and I got another error because the error deleted the security code of my credit card field and I didn't notice. So I do that and bam my cart has expired.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I quickly search again and of course it's gone. I do some more searches and find second row right behind the front row seat I had so I grabbed that. I should be two seats away from the ramp at most.
Second row is $100 cheaper and second row is fine so I'm not too beat up about it. But still would have been nice to have front row for a PPV.
Oh well. could have been worse. Good thing this PPV is going to sell like crap.

2nd row? Sounds good to me!
My TLC tix are ok. 100 bucks a piece with lower bowl direct center camera side.

I think all of the people online who have been so down on HHH over the years are straight up jealous. HHH has had the ultimate mark's dream come true kind of life. Grows up as a super mark for NWA and Ric Flair, plus WWF. Gets into the WWF and is a dominant world champion, gets to BE Ric Flair, with Flair as his Arn/JJ, gets his favorite band to write and perform his entrance music, gets to become a McMahon, and soon will get to be Vince.
Dude has had a straight up charmed life as a wrestling fan. People are just jelly.

I don't think there's any chance of Devitt winning, but judging by his comments in the press conference, he'll probably cause problems for quite a few people in his block;
"My main objective in the G1 is to cause as much trouble as possible and be a Real Rock 'n Rolla"

So let's just go ahead and pencil in Karl Anderson as the sentimental favorite for the G1 then
Naito is the Lex Luger of Japan dammit
Nakamura seems like the best bet, IMO. Doesn't seem like they're setting up for Anderson, Goto can bite it, and Nakamura just got through the stuff with La Sombra.

But also MOAR JACKET
Just give him a weapon to make his signature one and have him use it during the entire G1
Or fuck it just give him fireballs because Real Rock N' Rollas spit hot fire

All you Devitt haters can suck it.
AR Fox/Del Sol vs Young Bucks was a real fun match. Another solid show by PWG. I have yet to watch the main event though.

Exactly what I was thinking when I heard his interview. For those that don't know, Tajiri entered the 2007 Champions Carnival with the goal to just mess up everyone's chances with fuck finishes like double countouts. He beat Minoru Suzuki by tying him to a barricade with rope and leaving him to get counted out if I remember correctly.

At 19 months, my son has learned how to YES! properly. This can be prompted by saying, "Do Daniel Bryan!"

Haha nice. Sometimes I wonder if I'm being a bad influence watching Raw with her.
Granted TV doesn't really capture her attention too much yet, but I'll catch her staring here and there.

With this evidence, I have to conclude that we can no longer be friends, yet...we are. Logic has no meaning any more.

it's china art, all that shit is the same. they draw buttholes on the cats. perv.
Bootaaay is a fully fledged Natzaaay and you don't seem to have much of a problem with him, either. Mr. Flower is a little more accepting than the real Vince, I guess.

I'm pretty sure I have seen this before, yet somehow wiped it from my memory.
I'm sure I'll remember now....
