July Wrasslin' |OT| All this G1 talk is making me Climax.

If anyone wants a recent thing he was right about, can't get more recent than last night's NXT thing

He's been saying O'Reilly was headed there for a while, was just hung up with ROH threatening tampering suits. Said at the beginning of the month he was expected to finally show at tapings

Alternatively, Rovert said that Gunner and Crazzy Steve were going to show up at the last NXT tapings. So he's had his share of misses. Everyone does.

And rovert is just saying he's being fed inaccurate info sometimes

Remember when Dave said Dalton was definitely headed for WWE?

Dave never said that. He said Dalton was a free agent and WWE was very interested. Never said anything was a done deal.

Same with NJPW in NOLA. Even when he said they were talking about it, he still sounded skeptical.

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
My impression is that Dave Meltzer does his best while reporting on a business full of unreliable man-babbies and manipulative sociopaths.

It's a business that intentionally relies on deception. Reporting on real sports is a way different animal because owners of sports franchises are bound not to lie by various by-laws and rules against deception. Meltzer does not gain anything reporting things he made up.

Why so angry? Its not my account but a known account that has gotten information right before.

Meltzer good but is not always right. Kairi can't do the elbow drop and summerslam was Nia vs Alexa?

Most rational people recognize that situations change, particularly with a madman behind the wheel.
 
Kenny has a cool hour long interview here:

Questions are in Japanese, but it's almost always obvious what the question is from Kenny's answers.

There's a bit where he threatens Sanada to bring his a-game and not affect his meltz star ratings lol

Also that translator is a champ for remembering Kenny's super-long answers.

Here we go:



The field of 32.....looks pretty good actually.

Not quoting your entire list for good reason.

But it looks like Deonna is an alternate, so we really won't know what the true list is (as there might be other alternates listed there).
 
Remember when Sami Zayn was wearing a mask, regularly having Match of the Year contenders, and looked like he'd be a world champ in a major company someday?
