So CJ Parker is going to New Japan?

I thought he just announced his retirement?

He will emerge out of the Pacific, anew.

Yea, you go, me!

Watch your head

I hope he has a good dentist.

WWE said earlier tonight they were broadcasting to 206 countries. There aren't even 206 countries in the world.

You guys know that Xavier has a gaming show and has a ton of the wrestlers on it? It's pretty funny.

Yeah, we do. He makes good videos, check out the rest of them.

 

[Data West]

I think CJ Parker is alright, but god damn Gedo needs to stop listening to Bad Luck Fale on who to bring in. Of all the people, you pick fucking CJ Parker.

Yup. It's actually the reason I bought Trials Fusion. Looked like a ton of fun.

Maybe he meant it from the perspective of a black man whose character was that he was the slave of a rich white man and did degrading things because that's the only way he'd get paid by his master.

Matt Sydal is joining NJPW, as is Juice Robinson (aka CJ Parker).

[Deleted member 47027]

Great to hear CJ Parker is back! Quite the retirement! Sadly not with the god tier theme though.

 

[Reneledarker]

Matt Sydal is joining NJPW, as is Juice Robinson (aka CJ Parker).

This plus Ricochet and it seems they are trying to bring legitimacy to the Jr. division.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Look I think is cool;half mask, half face paint

 

[Data West]

I want to float you guys a theory. Only for the puro types since he doesn't work in the states.

Is Takashi Sugiura the modern day Arn Anderson? He already has the look of a relative of a girlfriend that would put you in a pair of cement shoes if you did her wrong, he's got the workrate, he's got the underrated badass old guy thing, and he has a highly successful tag team with another oldhead that has spanned all the major promotions.

 

[Hidden One]

Someone put Taker's face on this.

THIIIIIS

 

[Verendus]

I thought the Brock and Undertaker match was good. Finish wasn't bad either, but it would've been better if Lesnar held on for another 2 minutes before giving the middle finger and collapsing. It would've added to the drama. They had enough time.

Undertaker looks like a punk through all this. Also why I kind of like it. I'm hoping this all means Reigns vs. Lesnar II is a go.

They're still protecting Lesnar so it must be for a reason. Unless it's for The Rock or something but forget that.

The ONE MAN needs REDEMPTION.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Amell was legit impressive for a guy who never wrestled before and had probably a month of training. I would legit be okay if we got a solo Stardust vs Amell match down the line.

Aside from today he might've gotten in a couple hours of ring time when WWE was in the north-west but beyond that he was busy filming and the previous weekend he was in Louisiana.

[Data West]

I wanted to test out my new computer's gif making abilities. It's weird, it's like sometimes it's too fast for gifcam to capture? I always capture it in gifcam and then use a gif editor to clean it up. I don't know. I'll have to tweak it more, but I watched Marufuji vs Sugiura. It was pretty decent though a little spotty? I don't know. It definitely felt like they were still trying to protect Marufuji while pushing Sugiura was Suzuki's main opponent. I can't wait to see that match, but that's entirely because of Suzuki being who he is and Sugiura bineg who he is. The booking has been poor to the lead up. Sugiura should be undefeated against Suzuki-gun if he's going to face the evil boss of it, but he lost to fucking Shelton Benjamin, so why should I believe he can beat Suzuki? Marufuji needs to stop throwing those whiffy as fuck superkicks though. He did show some real smooth high flying in this match that I haven't seen in a while, so I appreciated that as it reminded me of a better Marufuji.

(^This was beautiful and my favorite spot of the match. I'm a simple man)

I just started watching Sumerslam and man fuck this crowd. Terrible what chants.

I need a gif of Kofi bouncing on his back. NEW DAY ROCKS!

About to catch up with the Summerfest a-happenin's. The image of Seth woth both belts though... why didn't Owens win the US title again?

Anyway, more importantly this song is dedicated to all of us getting our beloved avatars back today: https://youtu.be/gGY1J9XTXuw

WhT happened to taker backstage? That vid made no sense to me.

Hte to say it but brock is out of his league.

Brock is out of everyone's league status wise. Unless The Rock came back.

 

[pantsattack]

Thank you, brother. I feel THE POWER.

 

[Verendus]

New Day is hilarious. I'm a believer. Don't know what happened since Mania but whatever it was, it was good.

Is there a story line reason Pentagon Jr. became the face painted skull? Without the paint he loses a bunch of character.

It looks cool. Not really a storyline for the Day of the Dead facepaint or anything. Lots of luchadores darken their eyes and wear contacts to make their eyes stand out more. He's been struggling with his look for years and has only recently nailed it.

 

[Mahonay]

New Day celebrating tonight was easily the highlight of the show for me. I was watching with my buddy and we could not stop laughing. Fucking amazing.

 

[Xater]

They are really not holding back against Amell huh? He probably totally asked for this, he seems like that kinda guy.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

New Day having a blast whenever they're on TV or together is amazing. Their youtube stuff is great too.

Was he bruised at the end, or was it just Stardust face paint on his shoulder blade? Oh wait, I googled and...

Also, I'd like to officially announce my retirement from staying up late and watching wrestling LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE. I'm too old.

Rollins with Ebro and Rosenberg blazin hip hop and r&b

haha yeah that's part of the reason, I'm going to get my sleep while I can!

Ok, yeah he totally asked for it. He is a big fan after all and not afraid of the physicality. I think that's cool.

 

[MC Safety]

That was a pretty good show except for the horrible contrived endings for the Cena and Undertaker matches.

The New Day has really come into its own. And the Prime Time Players are great.

I'm glad Becky got the win tonight. Maybe now the WWE can move past Team A, Team B, and Team C.

 

[Aiii]

So... I have watched the main event ending twice now.

I still have no fucking clue what happened.

The first finish was a screwjob, that I sort of get, or something. But how did the second fight finish? There was no indication Brock had passed out (or a check?)... Was it a screwjob, too?

Assume WWE logic.

The timekeeper ended the first match. The second match ended when Brock's middle finger retracted.

I'm not sure why it was so important that both guys got a win, but WWE.

The ref just called it a bit too quick. Lesnar collapses after flipping off Taker.

Looking forward to watching SS, sounds like an interesting show if nothing else.

Maybe. It just seems silly to protect the guy with the 30-plus-year career while also protecting the guy who wrestles, at most, four times a year.
