WELP, bought tickets to the ROH/NJPW show in NY.
I have no idea why.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

NJPW? Is that Harley Race's promotion?

 

[Man God]

Except for the Rumble and Mania, nobody in OT gives a shit about wrestling that doesn't post here. There might be a few lapsed fans who pick up the network but that's about it. Our carny ass sport doesn't appeal to OT.

Of course, but thread failures are just as fun as thread successes.

 

[BronsonLee]

Oh. Right. That's why.

So I'm going to go from never being able to see NJPW to seeing them in Japan, then in New York two weeks later.

Wot.

 

[FallingEdge]

I am tempted to go to NYC to watch the show.

Someone let me crash at their place for the weekend.

 

[Judderman]

At least he's got the surgery scheduled. Hopefully he'll be fine.

"If the devil can't defeat me, cancer doesn't stand a chance in hell! Pray for sick children who face this horrible disease 'cause The Snake will be just fine."

Legend.

 

[Showaddy]

There's already been an NXT thread that went over like a diva's match.

EDIT: New Page

Thought you meant a new look for Paige at first.

 

[Phoenixazure]

there a way to tell what tickets are still available for the ROH/NJPW show? i feel like i should get a ticket

 

[strobogo]

I would stick with just Japan. No way does ROH bring in the dinosaurs.

ROHwrestling.com

They basically have them all still available. I got GA Lower Balcony...though I probably should've gotten Upper. I like that viewpoint.

FUCK

Bahahahaha, you sonofagun

 

[ggnoobIGN]

I know this ended up being a failure but I wouldn't mind seeing another WWE restaurant in City Walk, Orlando. There's already a ton of massive gimmick restaurants like NBA City, Nascar, and Hard Rock. Its more WWEs crowd down there. It's like a 15 minute drive from NXT so they could do shows from both.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Persp, shrink the size of that image, please.

- When asked by the local CBS affiliate in Pittsburgh about the possibility of Kurt Angle returning to WWE, Stephanie McMahon noted, “never say never.” You can check out the complete article at CBSLocal.com.


Imagine Angle's music coming on out of nowhere. I'd mark out so hard yall have no idea.

I don't think I could handle it.

I'm playing his theme right now as I'm writing this out of excitement

 

[Phoenixazure]

Just got a ticket. Lower Balcony level 1. First time at Hammerstein. First time for non WWE. I'm pretty psyched for it. Mainly going for NJPW.

Would Angle even pass a WWE medical at the moment? I mean I know he's in better shape than Hogan but still...

 

[zychi]

Is there official word that raw and smack down will be on the network? Live? Even after it airs? I'd rather give wwe my money instead of hulu

Originally, encores of Raw and Smackdown were to be included. Then the TV rights expired and it became the best of 2012/2013. This is what sent Cranberry to his meltdown. I'm sure they will be put up once the TV rights situation is cleared up.

Not today, at least not to wrestle, but he just had surgery, and he has no acl/mcl in a knee. Just having him on a mic in wwe would be great. Have him feud with brad maddox

Wheelchair Kurt Angle was such a great character.

Aren't RAW/SmackDown still going to be available on demand after they've aired? -> http://www.wwe.com/wwenetwork

 

[Batigol]

Bryan is going to be eliminated first. I can feel it in my loins.

 

[Khrysler Jerikho]

Remember back then when you guys want a Hero-Nak match?

Hope someone books it for the May shows.

12. Will encores of Raw, SmackDown and Main Event be on WWE Network?
The Best of Raw and SmackDown from 2012 and 2013 will be available on WWE Network.

It's all still kind of wishy washy. I guess no one will really know until tomorrow.

I am not a religious or spiritual person but I went to a Buddhist temple this morning for a service and it was pretty dope. I forgot to bow when entering the Hondo, so I felt like kind of a prick but other than that, solid.

FAVE FIVE RELIGIOUS SERVICES
1. Buddhism
2. Islam
3. Pentecostal (snake handling and speaking in tongues and shit)
4. Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey in Spain because dayum.
5. uhhhhhhhhhh
999999. Regular church

I bought the lower balcony row 1 reserved section for my friend and myself. We're going for NJPW and hopefully Kevin Steen will be there.

Looks like WatchWrestling will still have it's uses for a little while then

Buddhism is pretty chill. Not a fan of much of the dogma, but some of the ways one can think using buddhism as a model are pretty astounding.

As noted, CM Punk attended the UFC 170 event in Las Vegas last night and watched the show from cageside with Dana White. After the event, he hung out with Rener Gracie, Eve Torres and others:

SHAVE THE DAMN SIDEBURNS

 

[Deleted member 47027]

It's gonna be awesome how fucking fat Punk is gonna be when he returns. I'm talking Always Sunny levels.

Jesus Christ, a friend of mine just passed this my way. Goddamn.

Pre-PPV reminder that a title change is happening tomorrow for RATINGS and Network post-show views.

Gonna laugh forever if it's Bryan winning tonight and losing it on Raw the next night again

 

[lovely ladies]

That pic is mind blowing, I wonder why Vince never exploited that.

 

[UberTag]

Final betting odds for tonight's PPV...

Elimination Chamber Match For The WWE World Heavyweight Championship:
Randy Orton (1/25)
Daniel Bryan (6/1)
John Cena (25/1)
Cesaro (33/1)
Sheamus (40/1)
Christian (66/1)

The Wyatt Family (1/50) vs. The Shield (12/1)
Batista (1/100) vs. Alberto Del Rio (14/1)
Big E (1/50) vs. Jack Swagger (10/1)
The New Age Outlaws (1/4) vs. The Usos (11/4)
Titus O'Neil (1/25) vs. Darren Young (9/1)

Outlaws vs. Usos seems to be the one that's most up in the air.

 

[Batigol]

Keept forgetting R-Truth is kind of old

He's been early 30s forever

Bryan winning the belt before mania makes 0 sense.

Which means it will happen

So basically, Bryan wins, Orton demands rematch on Raw, wins, sets up Bryan, Orton, Batista 3-way dan at Wrestlemania.

Did he actually win the world title?The only thing I remember from his TNA run is the 3 Live Kru and that stupid tag team with Pacman Jones

Thanks to that goddamn Apollo, yup! Beat Ken Shamrock for it!

 

[Spider from Mars]

Bobo Brazil

Not officially

Brazil refused the title because of a groin injury that Rogers had claimed to have. However, on September 6, 1962, Brazil is declared champion because a doctor had determined that Rogers hadn't suffered an injury. This title change isn't recognized by the NWA, nor is the change with Kowalski.

Do you really think that Vince McMahon has any knowledge of Tupac?

Does the reddit dude dolphin still "predict" the ppvs? Iphigenia posts on reddit stop after tlc

Rows 1 & 2 appear to already be sold out for the May ROH/NJPW show at Ted Reeve in Toronto.
Shame, I would have entertained ringside seats.
