WRESTLING CONFESSION:
Nexus? Always lame. I don't know how you can look at the members of that faction and expect anything good to come of it.

This reminds me of the story someone wrote once for Giant Gonzales getting made world champion after Vince got knocked on the head. It actually got influenced by EWR.

Leading on from this for my confession, IT'S ALL ABOUT ME IT'S ALL ABOUT THE POWER Otunga's theme was the GOAT!

Yeah, Nexus was shit. Otunga's theme was way too good for him. Loved it. I used it as my CAWs theme in 2k12 or 13 can't remember.

Matt, in retrospect, was definitely better than Jeff. Willow was clearly Jeff's attempt at creating a character that could be considered as legendary as Matt Hardy Version 1, but he failed.

Nexus were shit, but it shouldn't have been that difficult to set them up to be knocked down in a way that didn't make them look entirely ridiculous and actually did something worthwhile for anyone but Cena. Also;

I'm real glad we haven't had a match in a while that ends with Cena throwing up the "oK" appledoughs.
WRASSLIN CONFESSION: When people talk about great feuds, I don't think Edge vs. Matt Hardy gets the credit it deserves. I really believed how much they just wanted to beat the shit out of each other.

A true ass blood feud. Any man would've killed for Lita, and thats what the two of them were prepared to do. Bah gawd

Has Vince ever wrestled without a shirt on? It's real nice of him to cover up his muscular physique to make Shawn Michaels look good in this match I'm watching.

Delirious posted a picture of him and Ricochet shaking hands, followed by a bunch of pen emojis and an eggplant. I think we clearly know what this means.
That internet show with Todd Grisham was way ahead of its time. I don't remember anything about it except when Lita was on and Matt called in.
Okada is becoming Poochie. Even WWE can have a Taker/Lesnar fight that's higher on the card than Cena. Whenever Okada isn't on screen, Shibata and Shinsuke should be asking, 'Where's Okada?' LOLTanawins doesn't bother me because of Tanahashi. It bothers me because it exists purely in service of Okada. Everything in that promotion revolves around Okada and in service of Okada.
I'm amazed Maria hasn't become his girlfriend and they haven't had him raise Honma's hand. Ultimately, it all goes to Okada. And he's 27. This shit is never stopping until the fans get bored because Bushiroad doesn't want to take any risks outside of house show level events.

That Delirious is going to inflict another shitty promo on us? Maybe he'll toss in a "kamikaze" or "Bansai!" with the "ichiban" he used earlier today?

The brawl between New Nexus and the Corre before that one Royal Rumble was great. They should have done a quick 4 on 4 street fight at Mania later that year as the payoff.

Metroid had the freeform exploration and gaining abilities to unlock areas. SOTN added the range of swappable weapons/armours/items and the RPG-stats upgrade element.

Friends, if you thought you couldn't do Fun n Playful in HIAC, I highly recommend DX vs. the McMahons and Big Show from Unforgiven 2006. There's a great Vince face I'll have to gif

It'll stop when Okada leaves New Japan at 32 and "StormCreator" Kenji Okoda debuts on NXT.

Alright on a serious note, what are the chances % wise than Okada goes to WWE one day, and how soon could it potentially be? Nowhere soon IMO, can't see him going at all but said the same about KENTA and I really want to see it...
Also Itami/KENTA has been bad in NXT. Sad, only good matches he had with Breeze which is odd because you wouldn't think they'd have off the page chemistry.

He's the ace of NJPW and will be for the next 10-15 years. He also worked in America for years, so he'd do a lot better than KENTA, who worked here very sparingly.
Then again, I never thought Devitt would ever ever leave, but here we are.

If Okada did leave it would be a huge blow to New Japan, bigger than Shibata quitting to be an MMA jobber. You can be sure they'll do whatever they can to keep him around.

I'm not too knowledgeable of anything outside of WWE, but from what I DO know, isn't Okada being built up to replace Tanahashi? Like someone said, he's only 27. He's seemingly being groomed to be the next face of NJPW right..? I don't think they'd like to give him up that easily.
Maaaaaardy

Yep, exactly. He definitely has more longevity in Japan at a minimum. It's an interesting scenario. Really interesting.
I was looking at AJPW 90s and NJPW 90s and comparing them to today and I thought it was kind of funny how their 'main event scene' mentality reversed.
Not counting old man Fujinami, nobody in 90s NJPW went over 3 reigns from 90-2000.
Part of why I could never get into AJPW 90s was those three same dudes all the time. Even when Misawa wasn't champion, the focus was always on Misawa. It's nice when you just go back and look at the matches one by one, but when you're trying to watch all of it, it gets old. Again, Misawa being the absolute worst offender. It's why I enjoyed 90s NJPW so much more.
I like Suwama, but I have no idea how he managed to get 4 Triple Crown reigns except for 'I don't know I'm kind of like Jumbo sort of'

Itami was finally adjusting and was doing real well before his injury. He was suppose to win the title from Owens in Japan.
As for Okada he is not leaving New Japan when they are going to make him the guy on January 4. I remember when WWE first was interested New Japan gave him 2 years when they usually go year by year.
Just hope Okada is saving his money. I remember the old stories where he was spending his money like Ric Flair.

Yeah, the whole storyline with Okada for the past year+ has been him wanting to replace Tanahashi as the "ace" of New Japan. He's the one proven main event star they've got who's under 30 and there's no real generational rival for Okada, so it's understandable that the promotion's being built around him.
