If you're watching wrestling just to hear good promos and you can handle MANime, the Fist of the North Star movie from the mid-80s is full of dope one-liners and exchanges.

Kojima returning to AJPW with Nagata, Nakanishi & Tenzan in tow might not sound like the most exciting prospect, but hopefully they'll at least be able to sell out Korakuen now they've got a bit more star power.

I guess the thing is if there will be enough young talent for them to put over while they get the crowds back in the door to have a viable 5 year future.

I really hope AJPW survives, even as a relative newbie to the scene it'd be very very sad to see such a venerable institution just disappear.

But All Japan died back in early 2000 after the spilt.

I've heard good things, provided you're on a wired network.

I have my doubts with that, actually.

I download through AC at 24 megabytes per second (the max out of my internet connection) on my Mac Mini. It should perform even better over local Network. This thing also has AC wireless.

It either has the shittest wifi hardware ever, or people have the shittiest routers (my Asus is amazing). A wired connection would max out at 100mbit due to being behind a switch on my Network, so it shouldn't outperform the wireless connection in the slightest. We'll see.

Technology is supposed to make life easier, I'd say it's the entire purpose of most of the stuff out there.

If they can successfully get Kento Miyahara over as the top ace of the company they can hopefully sustain business until the next generation of rookies are ready to move up - there's currently two working on AJPW cards and a couple more who haven't debuted yet, iirc.

Pretty much. Akiyama's AJPW has more relation to Baba's AJPW than Mutoh or Shiraishi's did, but even so, in the minds of most old-school fans AJPW died a long time ago.

Nakanishi lol, dude can barely move. Also does this mean no Tencozy at WK?
Click to expand...

Tenzan's almost in worse shape than Nakanishi these days, but Nakanishi works a lighter schedule and generally isn't expected to do as much as Tenzan still tries to do - it's painful watching Tenzan run the ropes, his knees are in such a state.

The old dudes working for AJPW next year won't stop any of them from appearing at WK, New Japan will want all their stars, young and old, on hand for the biggest show of the year.

Just ordered a Steam Link, it'll be interesting to see if it delivers.

Network-dependent. I even use it wirelessly and anything 2d is perfect. If you're trying to play new shit that's 3d, it'll give you artifacting even if you're on a great connection, wired and all that, but still playable.

But god knows there's plenty of dope-ass 2d games on Steam. Steam Link is my Binding of Isaac Afterbirth/Downwell/Pinball Arcade machine and it's the shit.

Caught up with last week's NXT and yeah, I'll eat some crow. Eva Marie put on her first good performance there. If she can keep that up, then she'll make a good Authority-backed heel.

Hm. That's somewhat disappointing, but I'm currently not running the best PC hardware (that's on the list of replacements for somewhere in 2016), so I'm not expecting too much.

And hey, at a price point where the device is pretty much the same as a new AAA game, who can complain?

Going through 2004 right now.

- Chris Benoit has a decent title run

- HHH looked like shit for his age WTF happen

-WTF was going on SD for Dudley Boyz Vs Taker is a Main Event lol

- Cena had a lot of build he didn't get a straight push to the top

- WWE did a good job of building Cena and Batista as their next top guys. Where is that WWE now?

-JBL is a boring character and it did feel from out of nowhere

I watch modern wrestling wanting more action and less talking. Now I'm watching the classic stuff and all I want is the promos. I could spend all day today listening to the NWA interviews.

I would not want the proportionate equivalent of WWE programming dedicated to promos with this current crop of writers scripting promos for wrestlers.

Well, at least that means TenKoji isn't challenging for the tag belts any time soon. And Nagata gets at least some time and attention.

Stupid as the match would be, Lesnar was incredible in the Cena/Rollins/Lesnar triple threat. One of my favorites.

He was great but they had to take him out for over half the match.

And lets face it they made it a triple threat because they didn't want Cena to job.
