sick fucking card

looks like I'll be doing my annual "stay up all night to watch real wrestling from japan"

 

[slightconfuse]

I love ibushi telling trips to fuck of so he can wrestle a Tokyo done dark match ad an anime character

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I am more disappointed about Ishii not getting a singles match. He always goes really hard for shows like this.

 

[British Monsoon]

Yeah, Cody getting a singles match while others more deserving are stuck in tags kinda sucks, but I'm happy to see Juice get a prominent position on the card - he's been steadily improving this year.

The big question, who's going to play Tiger the Dark/Black Tiger?

 

[Anth0ny]

goto and shibata will fucking murder each other

expecting their style to be strong

Kenny Omega, because of course Ibushi and Omega would pull something like that.

 

[British Monsoon]

Probably Jado

Fuck that, put Jado in the Rumble again if he must be on the card - the next Black Tiger's too important to not put on someone who can play the character for years to come.

 

[BronsonLee]

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).

Asians all look alike according to Lucha Underground!

Kenny Omega, because of course Ibushi and Omega would pull something like that.

Omega wouldn't possibly be so stupid as to do that when he's main eventing the Dome

It's probably ACH

 

[FallingEdge]

This is what happens when PWO forum posters go outside.

Spoiler

I know, its from F4W but the tone of the post is PWO distilled to a fine, salty essence.

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.

This looks like something Data West would post. Or stro.

What a mark.

Maybe this is the real reason Chris Hero has no 2017 bookings lol

10. IWGP Heavyweight Title Match: Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega

Damn, the back half of this card is great. I'll probably just skip right to the ROH match and go from there. I've never cared for the Six Man matches, but maybe it'll be worth it for Los & Chaos.

 

[British Monsoon]

For reference, this is what he's supposed to look like;

 

[Beefy]

Maybe this is the real reason Chris Hero has no 2017 bookings lol

just looked up Chris Hero to see who he was....

Ring name(s)

Brother Hero
Chris Hero
Chris Hyde
Kassius Ohno
Wife Beater

That last name....

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Omega gonna pull double duty

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Brother Hero
Chris Hero
Chris Hyde
Kassius Ohno
Wife Beater

That last name....

the shirt, not the action

He had the best 2016 of any independent wrestler I've seen.

 

[slightconfuse]

Anyone else forget that Kimbo vs Dada 5000 and shamrock vs Gracie happened THIS YEAR!!

holy crap what a year

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

poor kimbo

 

[Beefy]

the shirt, not the action

He had the best 2016 of any independent wrestler I've seen.

Still pretty insensitive. I haven't seen him wrestle tbf, I am only just starting to watch other stuff then WWE.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

well, that's why he stopped using it in 2000

 

[Jerm411]

Well, well, well....

@thechrishero: I can't help but to be disappointed by irresponsible journalism.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

HERO THE DARK

 

[British Monsoon]

Oh, Dave. That thirst to be first with the breaking news.

Was Cody to scurred of Ishii?!?

 

[Recall]

I have mixed feelings about that WK card but as long as the main event and one other match give me that action I crave then I'll be fine.

That trios gauntlet screams total trash though.

 

[Anth0ny]

It's pretty much a yearly tradition at this point that the match of the year is going to be at WK. Amazing when you think about it.

 

[klonere]

idk the trios thing looks like a lot of fun, a lot of really interesting matchups in there. Too much talent in it for it at least not to be an easy watch.

 

[Fox318]

Because a worker has never tried to a work work after Dave broke a story.

 

[Raw64life]

Poor Juice Robinson. Left NXT because he was tired of being the doormat for every new guy they signed.

 

[Heroman]

What? That trio gauntlet match is going to fun as fuck

 

[Anth0ny]

Because a worker has never tried to a work work after Dave broke a story.

dave knows where a worker will work before the worker knows where he will work. so they try to work everyone afterwards, but end up just being worked into a shoot.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Because a worker has never tried to a work work after Dave broke a story.

My favorite was Sasha being concussed enough she outright said nobody could guess her partner was Bayley. When that was the only guess people had for her partner.

 

[Hasney]

Plans change. Catering were informed and they said they would strike due to the extra workload.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

What? That trio gauntlet match is going to fun as fuck

only if Bullet Club are first and gone quickly before they can stink up the match.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Liklihood of a Chris Hero + Cesaro getting back together?

Actually, we all know Hero is going to spend 18 months in NXT feuding with another indie star.

 

[Heroman]

Poor Juice Robinson. Left NXT because he was tired of being the doormat for every new guy they signed.

I Don't think that's the reason why he left Nxt.

 

[Fox318]

Poor Juice Robinson. Left NXT because he was tired of being the doormat for every new guy they signed.

HE KNOWS WHAT HE MUST DO

SHOOT TO WIN

 

[klonere]

An NXT with Tommy End, Hero and Roddy on top is far more appealing to me than one with Nakamerica, Joe and Bobby fucking Roode.

HHH trying to recreate 2005 ROH

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

nxt feels more like nwa to me.

At least when revival and diy wrestle. Hottest feud in the wwf.

 

[Rhaknar]

cwc finals were...slightly disapointing? I mean, it was a fine match, and granted they had the semis earlier aswell so they had to be knackered, but still it felt a bit sloppy and, I dunno, something was missing.

TJ Perkins chest / shoulder area from those slaps tho

but yeah, overall a great production and a compelte must see like you guys said

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

I can't believe Del Rio got into a fight with one of those turtles.

Liklihood of a Chris Hero + Cesaro getting back together?

Actually, we all know Hero is going to spend 18 months in NXT feuding with another indie star.

Cesaro is going onto to a six month tag team championship reign with Sheamus. Believe that.

So, who makes Paige's ovaries explode? Alberto Del Rio or Alberto El Patron?

 

[Fox318]

Only thing disappointing about the CWC finals was that they took place in fullsail.

TJP was fantastic and his story felt real.

Any other arena would have been cheering the guy but the people at full sail wanted the people who weren't signed to win because they knew the scoops.

 

[Rhaknar]

Chris Hero signed with NXT?

well with WWE but you know what I mean

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Cena vs Styles COULD NEVER

 

[Anth0ny]

Orton on the Wyatt storyline:

At first, I wasn't quite sure, but now that we're in the middle of it and me and Bray and Luke are tag champs, everything's feeling right. And I get to do what I love to do best and that's be a heel. So each week is a little different. It's not getting stale. Nothing against Sheamus, but it's not working Sheamus every night for six months.

Motivated Orton is the best Orton. as stupid as this storyline was, I really hope they don't just go all "lol I was just a snek all along" with Orton and just have him as a Wyatt member until it gets stale. Wyatts are elevated by his presence, and Orton just having a fresh coat of paint helps him as well.

 

[Foggy]

An NXT with Tommy End, Hero and Roddy on top is far more appealing to me than one with Nakamerica, Joe and Bobby fucking Roode.

An NXT'd End is not the kind of End I want. Same with Hero. Same with Nak. And so on.

 

[Luschient]

lol, "nothing against Sheamus....but uh...fuck working with him"
