I'm fine with that when done well. Hell, I was fine with it when
Russo and Bischoff did it to start off the New Blood story.
I'm only bothered by one of the spoilers, but I'm REALLY bothered by it. The other two, I kind of understand or at least can disagree but see where they're going with it. I'm going to assume
Reports say Honma/Ibushi is very good.
Shibata punched Tanahashi or Gedo backstage prior
Reports say Honma/Ibushi is very good.
No, should have said that. Will check out dailymotion though, thanks.

That's the one I'm most annoyed about, mainly because
Goto & Shibata winning the belts was such a cool moment. I like the idea of Bullet Club getting everything back in one night, but wish Meiyu Tag got at least one awesome defence of the tag belts. Styles getting the IWGP back makes sense if they're going down the route of Okada winning the NJC and challenging Styles at Invasion Attack
Akitoshi Saito & Tomohiro Ishii vs. Daisuke Sekimoto & Tatsuhito Takaiwa
AKA Hosses hoss a hoss into a hoss match, brother.
Also, NOAH is fairly enjoyable now, but they have GOT to get the title off of Marufuji. He is so boring as a champion. Suzuki could obviously work, he's the only guy currently there who I think would work as an invader champion. It's hard to get into who I would like to see with it without going into the juniors territory. Like Harada is small, but I absolutely could see him winning it. He's just so talented. Maybe Nakajima though he's very old school and lacks 'star power'

The state of Saito's fucking garbage bag pants. The state of Saito in general.
Previously in this thread I've nominated him for worst look in wrestling. You don't look like a bancho punk, you don't look like an old man, you don't look like a pretty boy, you don't look like a 'i do a lot of martial arts' guy. You don't fit any modern Japanese wrestler look.
Saito and Yoshie should be in a stable called The Badly Dressed Dudes With Tudes.

Netflix 9
Hulu plus 8
Amazon Prime 49-79 Yearly
Right now I also have trials for Sling tv (20) and WWE network (9.99).
It seems like a lot but it's still less than paying for cable.
Remember yesterday how I talked about the fact that only Takayama and Sasaki have won all 3 prmotions major heavyweight championships? How great would it be if Suzuki beat Marufuji, won G1, and won the IWGP title at the same time. Outside of the ghost of Shinya Hashimoto, that's the only person I could totally believe being able to do that.
I have turned around on
but the fact of the matter is he never should have
I have turned around on
AJ ____________________________
never lost the title in the first place.
Netflix with HD- 8.99
NJPWorld- 8.40 to 50 ish
Thats it...I was going to resign to UFCpass for some Pride but meh.

It's on me for not watching NJPW yet, but those spoilers kinda bum me out. But I will take the Aiii route and I'll wait and see how it all plays out. What's the consensus on the show itself? Positive, great wrestles? Match of the evening?
Honma/Ibushi is supposedly the best match of the show.

People forget how sour people were with the first half of last year. Remember Bad Luck Fale's push? Remember the Gracie family bullshit wasting our time and Nakamura's talents?

Can't wait, then
Gracie shit was absolute shit, but Fale needed it and it did help him out a bunch. I enjoy Fale.

It's that Ribera sponsorship. Every time you see him you think of delicious steak. Eventually it whittles you down.

I haven't watched AJPW in a while, how's Atsushi Aoki doing? Always thought he was pretty impressive as a technical sort-of wrestler in NOAH, but he didn't get many opportunities.

I was going to make a joke about the NXT tag titles and then realised that I'm finding myself most intrigued by the women's title situation myself so I guess there's something for everyone.

Yes sir, my fine feathered friend. I'm actually gonna miss the show tonight, which is a shame, and will try my best to avoid getting it spoiled - but I think that's an impossibility.
Lots of good wrestles to view this week.

I like the idea of sponsored wrestlers. Makes me think of race cars.
I should update my comment then - tonight the only two titles in WWE that matter are being defended tonight. It's a shame the NXT tag division is so thin, because if they could make the tag division big then NXT would 100% overshadow WWE at this point. Granted, I think NXTs tag division is still more interesting than WWE's.
The few times I've seen him, he's just kind of there. Keeps himself to himself. AJPW has that problem a lot. Not many standout talents. Not bad, just nothing about them is very noticeable. I mean when Kotaro Suzuki is one of your more 'stand out' guys in terms of just being unique and captivating, that says a lot. Not a knock against Kotaro, just that he's never been that much of a charisma/flashy guy himself.
Suwama vs Akebono is super good.

Becky has "it" - just needs to fit right, and she'll find what works right.
Hoping for a run-in from Blue Pants tonight but I don't reckon it will happen.

You'd have to abandon this thread entirely to avoid the spoilers, the last Takeover aired 3 or 4 days later in the UK and I don't think I successfully avoided anything for 3 or 4 minutes after the show actually happened.
It's been hard for me to get into their tag division as it has the same sparse team problem as the main roster so more than any of the titles on NXT it feels like the one that's just getting passed on to the next team that turns up.
But yeah, still more interesting that WWE's.

SWERVE~! It'll be Becky Lynch's night, and she'll be jigging up the ramp in celebration.
GAF logo on Tyson Kidd's knee pads.
Or perhaps we could coax Zandig out of retirement for one more match...
I haaaaaaaaaate her, stereotypical headbanging LOLMETALKVLTXDDDDDD look guys I do devil horns TEEHEE
hate her
Becky is down near Carmella territory for me right now. Her character is lifeless, I know nothing about her besides she's a heel because she's with Sasha, and I can't remember a single thing from any match of hers ever. I remember her more for her one-off horrible Irish jig gimmick.

If they ever let Becky do any of her fancy Euro chain wrestling stuff, I guarantee WrassleGAF will fall in love with her. Y'know, unless you're one of those weirdos who hates fancy Euro chain wrestling.
Becky has been improving. Now that she dropped all the hyper-active stuff she's been a lot more fun to watch. If she keeps on this track, she'll be just fine.
That said, it's still Bayley's time tonight. She's been passed by way too long.
Either way, I don't see Charlotte retaining another time. It's probably close to her being called up anyways.
