I'm starting to get this mysterious feeling the NJPW/ROH relationship is slightly one sided.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

The reason why NXT has less issues booking wise is because they only have one hour of TV a week to fill. There are no forced match ups not according to plan, no surprises that will devalue wrestlers by having to job to people who can't lose.

Honestly it's the one hour a week that makes it so good, for many reasons.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Kana didn't even have to tryout accord ing to enuhito. Signed weeks ago

Whoa, awesome news!

 

[Ithil]

The reason why it works in nxt so good is that nxt is small unlike the main roster, which there is so many other going on that the diva don't get s time to shine.

I don't buy that. They've got 6 hours of WWE TV a week and 27 writers. They could do exactly what NXT did for their women with ease.

Then again, they have 6 hours and half of it is recaps, product placement and other nonsense while a legion of neat promos and segments from up and down the roster are relegated to youtube, twitter or the app.

 

[Xclash]

Gedo was backstage at the NXT show and was not at the ROH show. Everyone gets New Japan talent these days lol

That explains why he wasn't at the ROH show. It was great seeing all the NJPW stars.

NXT, LU, and early nitro

Maybe one hour is the ideal amount of time for a pro wrestling show.

At this stage they should probably just sign blue pants to a full time deal.

Give her a name. Have her be more of a character and act as a enhancement talent. Like the NXT womens Cesaro.


The full sail marks wont like not calling her blue pants but screw those drunks.

 

[serenewarfare]

Gedo was backstage at NXT, as was Tiger Hattori and the chairman of NJPW. This NXT/ROH/NJPW thing is so messy.

Well according to Scott Hall, Tiger Hattori and other NJPW officials were in the back. This happens after the press conference. New Japan gives no fucks.

Too late. It's Blue Pants. Now and forever. All we need now is Bob Barker to introduce her.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

watched with lapsed fan roomie tonight:

-he remember Liger from WCW and thought it was weird he wasn't putting someone over but was okay with it.
-Thought the vaudevillains were stupid as hell but that they were good wrestlers
-liked the women's match a lot, was a fan of both
-also laughed about Balor's painted abs, didn't like balor, felt owens was also week and he used to go see Steen all the time.

I liked the special over all, the women's match was really great, good on 'em.

I wouldn't read much into it,money probably wanted to watch the show and got in with liger. That or thigs are about to get real crazy.

When New Japan is loyal to someone, they're very loyal. However, ROH is definitely not one of those.

See New Japan and CMLL, there's loyalty there, New Japan doesn't touch AAA.

I will say I absolutely LOVED seeing how Gotch has improved. Those months off did him a world of good. He was fantastic tonight.

 

[Iceman829]

Anyone attending the NXT event. Was the fatal 4 way finish botch with Emma getting the win? It seemed like no one knew what was going on from where I was sitting.

 

[somedevil]

Triple H offered Alexa Bliss to do some New Japan shows and Gedo couldn't say no to that deal.

Yeah he's really smooth out there. I'd like to see him in some singles matches.

 

[Heroman]

Could we see more njpw/wwe crossover in the future?

 

[Ithil]

Triple H offered Alexa Bliss to do some New Japan shows and Gedo couldn't say no to that deal.

Meanwhile in Tokyo

 

[DMczaf]

NXT vs NJPW : World Tour

coming to N64

 

[slightconfuse]

Lol.

The only realistic thing I could think of is a young lion doing an excursion to NXT. I assume komatsu and tanaka would go to ROH but maybe one of them goes to NXT.

 

[Jimmy King]

That's very cruel to joke like that

[nukedawg]

I watched Takeover with some casuals. I always love these scenarios because I like seeing what people think of the product without knowing anything. Some notes:

Laughed at Balor's ab paint, that he clearly doesn't need
Unimpressed with Balor's entrance
Asked why Owens has all this fight stuff when it was obvious he was never in MMA
Bayley/Sasha went too long
Baron Corbin was a huge hit, a couple teenagers were watching and conveyed this to the max
Apollo Crews is a buff Kevin Hart

That's about it

Did they time travel from the late 80's? Was Corbin RAD to the max?

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

I think aside from his droopy physique corbin looked great tonight. He sold like a million bucks for a lot of things and his video interview beforehand was solid

 

[Cybit]

Bayley vs Sasha.

Damn.

That was good.

 

[Frecklestein]

Yeah, you can tell it was Joe that did a good job making him look good though. Corbin still has a lot to improve but he's got the tools.

 

[Ithil]

I've rarely had an actual shocked reaction to a move but my hands went to the sides of my face at the avalanche reverse frankensteiner in the women's match. That's not even a move I would see men in the WWE take (Neville does it standing, but now from the top rope).

 

[ghostmind]

Kana signed with WWE?

Oh god the streams are crossing... I'm going to have to get the network again, aren't I?

(Feels like I missed out on tonight's NXT, though I could give a shit about Summerslam)

 

[Data West]

MAN GOD

The story mode is highly intriguing because it covers my career from start to finish. So you get to experience that and play through it. Experience a lot of my trials and tribulations along the way.

STUNNING STEVE IS TOTALLY IN THIS THING

 

[Roberto Duran]

Any match recommendations for Kanna?

 

[ghostmind]

Lol.

Boston crabs for everyone!

More like Ringmaster

 

[slightconfuse]

Does that confirm War Games, Stings squadron , Larry Z and Arm Anderson!!!

 

[Jimmy King]

So 2k16 will include that one match Meltz gave negative five stars?

 

[Frecklestein]

 

[slightconfuse]

My boys the Vaudevillans rocked tonight

They looked really good

 

[ghostmind]

Ok wrasslebros, is NXT worth it for $9.99 a month? I doubt I'll watch much of the "main" WWE shows.

No, not really.

Yeah. Four weeks of NXT is worth $10. And live specials are absolutely worth it.

 

[funkystudent]

Anyone got a gif of that botched (?) top rope huricanrana Bayley hard handed near the end of the match?

That looked rough.

 

[NoRéN]

NXT special that ends with Bailey, The Vaudevillians, and Finn Balor as champs is a DAMN good special!!!

 

[slightconfuse]

Cesaro suit game on point

 

[Frecklestein]

Was that botched? I thought Sasha shoved her mid air or somethin'

 

[Data West]

playable Colonel Parker


Owen will finally be in a video game.

I'm not sure it was a botch. I think she might have rotated too much on the sell, but I think she was supposed to fall.
