Thank god K.E.S. retained. I completely expected it beforehand but still got a bit worried at the end there, so it was great work from all involved. Now please take TenKoji out of the title scene already.

That was a real fun match, good work from all involved - I think the reason KES keep facing TenKoji is because there's a lack of established teams, but also because they can guarantee that Archer & Davey will get heat for beating up Kojima & Tenzan.

bad gameplay lol
Hey guys. I know I don't post here anymore, but y'all should probably look at this because it's great.

I missed nothing! I just...didn't catch it live.
But it is the best wrestling company in the world. I'll be watching tomorrow. Can't wait, either. So excited.

Seeing as they didn't even have interest in John Morrison and already have someone more talented in a similar gimmick, I doubt they'd care. The only two pro's Ryder has are his merch sales and twitter followers, neither of which are going to help TNA much.
Yeah, I can understand why, I just think that they've had way too many shots. They need some new teams. I guess Shibata and Sakuraba will be the next contenders? I dunno.
Yeah, it was about the time I had checked out of WCW completely, too. Actually, it was a bit before this. Sometime shortly after Lance won all the titles is when I stopped watching. Not because of Lance, but everything on the shows had gone to shit by then. I don't remember much of anything after New Blood Rising.
Also, that tiger was NOT happy to be there.

CHIKARA spoiler;

If the CHAOS/Suzuki-gun feud isn't wrapped up on today's show, I'd expect a CHAOS team to be the next challengers - Yujiro & Ishii, maybe?
I would definitely like to see Shibata & Sakuraba go after the belts though.
Amasis returned! He distracted Ophidian and cost him his match against Frightmare

Laughter7 vs Goto & Inoue was a lot of fun - the Goto vs Shibata rivalry was glorious to see, hopefully we'll get a singles match between the two at the next iPPV.
Shinsuke Swagamura vs Kaientai Dojo's Kengo Mashimo is up next.

Yeah, I guess we'll have to wait and see where the feud goes. They should probably spend a bit more time building Shibata and Sakuraba back up after their WK7 losses anyway.
Good match anyway. I love Sakuraba's style and Goto/Shibata were great together.

Good match but I loved the post match angle. I guess the tag titles will be given a break next iPPV and it'll be Nakamura vs Archer. I don't think Archer will have a chance but it'll be interesting.
Man, Suzuki vs Okada has been fucking awesome so far.

Seriously. Amazing work by both guys.
Holy fucking shit, that was GREAT. Suzuki beasting on Okada at the end was GLORIOUS, I love it. Amazing match.
This still worries me a bit. Both guys need to stay strong and the only way to do that would be Brock winning dirty, which you don't really want to do with Brock.
I don't know, I'm interested to see how it's handled.

Yeah, I loved it. And while I had no idea what he was saying in the post match promo, I still loved it. What a badass.
The main event was great too but not as great in my eyes, which is something that I was expecting anyway.
Another fantastic show. Not as good as WK7 but then very, very few shows are. I love New Japan.
I have to wonder who will be up against Tanahashi next. There seems to be a lot of speculation that they're building up for a Champion vs. Champion match with Prince Devitt, which would be pretty fucking awesome.
That match is already set for the Anniversary show in Korakuen Hall on 3/3. It won't be on iPPV but if it is like last year, it will surface online pretty quickly after it airs in Japan.
LiquidSolid
Member
Yeah, I looked it up shortly after that point. Obviously I haven't kept up enough, as I had no clue that match had already been made or that the next iPPV is two months away on the April 7th. Oh well, I'll have to make sure I catch the Anniversary show whenever it's put up on Youtube.

Felt like watching an old Rey Mysterio WCW match and came across this:
La Parka & Psycosis vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. & Juventud Guerrera
http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=gKw2wwJ3QXI&feature=endscreen
The commentary kinda sucks. I don't like Larry Z. But I forgot how crowds could get involved in non main event matches. And what Rey looked like before he blew up (literally)

That is one of my most fav matches ever, I would watch it over and over. Made me a Juvi fan.
To be honest before that he was just a random Lucha to me, one of the many. They all do cool things but I look at them as a collective lol. But man, after that match and seeing that 450 splash I was like :O this guy.
Would always go him on WCW/NWO Revenge on N64 and my brother would go Rey heh.

Why is the network a tv channel rather than a web service. Come on, Vince.

Decent point. Only available in select US areas if on TV, if it was online would be available for all. NBA.tv has the right idea.

It was a fun match, I missed a whole chunk in the middle though, as I kept falling asleep, lol - need to rewatch it later tonight, and the Okada/Suzuki awesomeness too.
Went to the Raw house show last night too. The crowd here really surprised me. Road dogg and billy gunn wrestled team rhode scholars, both of them top notch with promos and the crowd. Jericho vs Ziggles in a no dq match was good. So was the main event with punk and Cesaro vs ryback and the miz. It was a fun night and the crowd was hyped and loud.
Totally different experience than on tv

Kinda wish I had stuck with Hydra, but not sure there's a Hydra CAW for WWE 13. There are only a few Owen Hart ones, some of them look terrible too.

I was as surprised as you. Thankfully he's really easy to make, he has a bitchin CZW shirt and jeans. As expected.
Also you have to think about the international market; how are they going to sell this outside the U.S?

Yeah, exactly. Babysteps, I guess.

Upon rewatching Jericho/Punk at WM last year I think Y2J must be cursed with his WM WWE title matches, in all these matches (HHH, Edge, Punk) he gets the dead crowd and on top of that the matches themselves don't quite deliver on their expectations and come off a bit sloppy.
The first segment of the WM28 match is just plain bad as well "hey Punk! your father's a drunk!", manipulative DQ baiting that just looked silly like that entire storyline really.
In turn this reminds me that WM28 was just really weak on the whole, WM27 was cack as well, i'm not even sure why I should anticipate WM this year with a bunch of rematches I really don't want to see, at some point in the last few years the Road to Wrestlemania fell into poor condition and they ain't giving it maintenance.

It has just struck me that Bryan will most likely be shafted at Mania this year again. He has had a good year - since Mania 28 - and Team No will most likely be done come Mania.
So we will either get Kane vs Bryan, or if that does not happen Bryan might not even get on the show.
If it does happen, then with Kane on the way to bowing out, he could win that match as a tank you for he service.
Kane vs Bryan also sound like a curtain jerkier to me :/

The problem here is the juggling of title belts, it's something that can't be done too often or else the title gets devalued, well actually the belts not worth much these days anyway so they might as well.
As long as they don't go all Rock/Mankind with it.
I do think Kane vs Bryan is on the cards for WM, I know most here will hate Bryan being put in a match with Kane but it would actually be one of the few things I look forward to.
Now curtain jerking isn't much of a punishment for Bryan as long as he gets at least 10 minutes this time, compared to what his WM record is so far curtain jerking is the least of his worries. Kane should put over Bryan in this situation but it'll probably be booked otherwise.
Still it's funny to think that if this match does go through at WM it will be the culmination of buildup from around last years No Way Out event until now.
I still say Kane and Orton did a pretty good job last year in the spectacle of disappointment that was WM28.

Miz needs to fuck off ASAP.
There would be no juggling of belts, nor should there be. It's just another thing of how poor storytelling is in the WWE. Why it's often the heels chasing the faces who carry the title for so long, or winning the feuds so often. Why are there so many underdog faces when they win majority of the matches? Why should we boo these heels if they constantly lose?
