All he had to do was be himself and he would have fucking drew.

The turn on Cena was right place, wrong time. But then again, I don't think it mattered when that happened. Dude was NOT going over Cena.

Vampiro probably also thought Chessman's tights were possessed by an evil spirit.
Is this the same story of Mr. Fuji giving Yoko laxatives on an airplane?

I forgot which gaffer posted something about Bret complained about Yoko smelling bad.

I thnk it's pretty obvious at this point that ever since HHH announced it was becoming a touring brand, it stopped being developmental. Sure it has an element to it, but it's now just another brand and some of the guys in it will never be called up and just be a "draw for NXT" or whatever.

Probably not. Tana's new role really needs to be putting the younger guys over.

Showering away the filth, dressed in a full tuxedo to avoid any implication of impropriety.
Catching up on Lucha Underground.
Just got to the whole Black Lotus Triad vs Pentagon Dark show.
Damn at Io Shirai.
Just one weird thing. The Triad are supposed to be a Chinese organization similar to the Yakuza in Japan.
Seems weird that they all get Japanese names (even though I realize they're all Japanese except Black Lotus who actually is of Chinese descent).

So, Ishii vs Chase Owens at Road to Tokyo Dome. Seems odd.
I heard the Beyond show was great.

At least it wasn't another multi-team junior tag title match. And the gauntlet match switches it up a bit for the NEVER trios title.
And good for Juice Robinson getting a singles match at Wrestle Kingdom.
Man NJPW have a LOT of belts don't they.
Great, I'll have to check it out. I keep meaning to watch some Dijak stuff, he gets a lot of hype.

If you get the Rev Pro gimmick for Global Wars, he had a match on one of the Cockpit shows with Bodom which was real fun live
There is something bizarre about Juice, who was slotted in as opening act enhancement talent (and was rather good at it) during the peak of DustyNXT, leaving, going to NJPW, starting from the actual bottom, living in the dojo, jobbing hardcore and improving immensely to now jobbing out to Dusty's throughly average son who has been handed clean wins and focus everywhere he's gone based off nothing but a name?
There is a pretty high possibility that Juice will absolutely outshine Cody though, I hope that does happen.
Did you just admit to liking a Bodom match?!?!

it's only cause dijak was being a massive tryhard, and bodum was pretty much taking it
I was excited for a Bodum match when I thought his match with Ishii was just going to be him getting beat to fuck, but then he went over :/

I think Juice will outshine Cody. I dont dislike Cody as much as some on here (not that I really like him or anything) but Juice has been delivering lately.

Forgot juice Robinson existed. Can't say I'm too excited
He's rather good, I would say check out his match vs. Kyle O' Reilly from a few months back, very enjoyable.
Yeah I don't quite understand Bodom's RPW booking; he's clearly positioned as the young up and coming heel star but he doesn't wrestle that heel-ish, he isn't that good and he hasn't ascended up the card all that much. Even if he does get wins over big names, it doesn't seem to stick.

I assume they were trying to push him up the card, but then after his last 2 big wins, he disappeared off their shows for months, and only returned last month
That's what fucks me off most, he's supposed to be a heel but he had this entire match with Jay White where he was playing to the crowd like a super babyface, and he's standing and trading strikes with Ishii and Hero

What happened to the kamaitachi name? Last thing I would want us to be associated with Yujiro

This is what happens when PWO forum posters go outside.
God bless Dave Mastiff, a king amongst men.
Yup, it makes no sense. And apparently he threw up on the ramp after his match against Honma. Maybe it was all the grease.
I know, its from F4W but the tone of the post is PWO distilled to a fine, salty essence.

Hard to copyright, as the name's from Japanese folklore - also, it was a good sign that the crowd immediately responded to him as Hiromu, rather than chanting Kamaitachi.
From what I gather from his arguing with fans on twitter, he doesn't think much of the whole heel/face business. Also, Andy mentioned something about an attitude problem as the reason why he wasn't booked for a while, don't know if that was storyline or what though.

Why someone would go to a show they know they're going to hate is beyond me. It's not for me either and I understand some of his critiques but I'm not going to a show just to shit on it.
They should go back to watching their god and savior, 70's Jerry Lawler
That is a really good card.

Yeah, I feel that match will go over like a wet fart.
Watching Rush in the tag tourney I'm really surprised he isn't in wwf. I'd think Vince would salivate over having him. Wonder if wwf didn't offer enough money or Rush wants to stay in mexico.
Or maybe la sombra warned him off.
