You guys always know things even before the rest do, including me. Is Omega using smoke and mirrors, or is he really off the table?

Off the table, really
Omega won't sign until a) He and Ibushi do whatever the fuck they want to do and b) the Young Bucks come in with him. Those two seem to be pretty higher on his list than becoming IWGP champion, probably because it is not that factible to accomplish with a one year contract
Pretty sure it was confirmed to be an actual botch, they called the rest on the fly. Can't find an exact source but there was a podcast where Cena said it. I'm sure others like Batista have brought it up too.
Don't shoot yourself into a work, mark.

Damn, but good for him. I guess seeing Gallows and Anderson was enough for him to be like no thanks.

I don't care what anyone says. There's no way the entire thing went down like that as a botch and correction of a botch, from them coincidentally falling in a way that they landed legitimately simultaneously, to the way the refs reacted with the whole "half the refs say Cena won and half the refs say Batista won" to the way Vince came storming out.
I don't buy that either Vince or the WWE has a secret plan for how to react to both guys falling out simultaneously in the final two of the Royal Rumble.
The only thing I can guess is that Omega felt guilty about leaving or something, because I don't see how he expects to get any kind of big spot when he explicitly refuses to do a multi-year deal so he can reconsider WWE next year.
He desires to face AJ Styles at Wrestlemania before his body deteriorates and/or AJ retires, so he'll probably end up signing in the next couple of years

Cena and Batista falling out was absolutely a botch. The refs just did a good job of stalling for time until they could come up with a solution.

Hopefully this cuts down on the idiot crowd reactions.

Especially considering when CM Punk went over there he wholesale just ripped off his schtick entirely and threw on the anaconda vice along with it. Seriously...Punk was doing Pepsi Plunges and Pepsi Twists in the indies then suddenly he is doin a Kenta impression and not even changing move names. What was Kenta gonna do after they made a prominent clone out of his entire catalog?
WWE badly wanted a Japanese star to coincide with launching the network in Japan. I'm sure he's being paid several times more what he made in Noah.
Creative wise it made a lot more sense before Nakamura and a cruiserweight division were there. The injuries haven't helped either.

The late February taping at UCF is happening about five miles down the road on University Blvd from where Full Sail is. The Miami show is just a house show.

Hell he had several knee injuries BEFORE WWE got him. Then the shoulder went and now the neck. He done.

Spoiler: Punk was always a move stealing puro whore
Itami was about 6 years too late but I hope he's getting that paper
Damn, folks in the teen numbers basically never win.

They've done it before too. I think after SummerSlam?
I doubt he's just working folk. I can't imagine he would leave New Japan without having a world title run, it's the kind of stuff that's important to him.
It's a mediocre card, what do you expect?Takeover tomorow and nobody cares
is there even a OT?

It's been a while but fuck John Cena
Takeover tomorow and nobody cares
is there even a OT?
I am going to watch it and shouldn't it be in the rumble thread or have a separate itself?
It crazy that juice is better than any one at that was at the performance center.Recognize
lol, who are you comparing to at the performance center?

Takeovers usually have their own threads

Why damn? It's ok to not have every single guy in WWE. There's plenty of good wrestling out there beyond WWE and even NJPW.
He pretty better than everyone who was/ is at performance center besides maybe American alpha.
Heromark with the hyperbole of the day

That's his gimmick.
That why you guys pay me the big bucks.
Its hard to say that when he has really never had a singles match while in New Japan but been just in multi men matches.
Also, I doubt he is better than revival, charlotte, becky, bayley or Sasha.
I'm not including the indie stars in the center as well.
Still crazy to me they had him job at the dome.Recognize
For a hack who will probably never work in Japan again.
I will follow you brother.
