My 3 year anniversary of becoming a WrassleGAFfer is coming up soon, and I just want to say you guys are tremendous. It has been a wild and crazy ride and I have been able to talk to so many cool people about this sport. I hope to continue bringing my patented hot takes for many years to come.

I've too grown fond of the jabronies here at Sports Entertainment GAF.

That was already the plan. They are just moving faster on it. The new info is that they want to do a US Tour by March or April.
Meltzer is saying they are talking about doing NOLA for WM weekend.

obligatory "wrestling in 2017 is weird" comment for WWE Superstar Noam Dar cutting a promo on the Raw set for a match with a Scottish indy with 3 (supposedly) World of Sport contracted wrestlers, 1 of whom works for TNA.

Depends on how many Weiss Schwarz cards Heroman buys.

Hmm, interesting. Bushiroad is a privately owned company, so they couldn't hostile takeover. I imagine if they made a big enough offer, they'd take it.
I got my hospital bills covered.
Probably but they just be buying the talent and the name.
To be honest they couldn't because hostile takeovers in Japan from foreign companies would get government intervention.

Think about Ellsworth or Apollo trying to work NJPW style
Christ imagine Mojo coming out to face Naito
This is all too hilarious in my mind

In all likelihood, no. They'd only do it for the roster and maybe the library, but then they'd have to subtitle all that stuff(which isn't likely) because no way would they release purely foreign language stuff on the network. NJPW would have to be threatening enough to consider buying as an anti-competitive measure but at that point Bushiroad would have no interest in selling. Also so much of WWE's money goes to keeping that ship afloat and NJPW is doing well financially for the first time in a long while. Also Kidani is just as rich as McMahon, he just doesn't put all his eggs in one basket.
Why would you buy TNA?

They can't even buy a gimmick from TNA
Apollo worked dragon gate for years , he would be a great jr.

They're too busy buying up all the 30+ aged TNA alumni
Seriously? I need to find clips because I can't picture it
Ladies and gentlemen do we have ourselves........a war in our future?
Meltzer didn't say that though. He said they want to be in Nola in 2018 and that is it.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
Because TNA has a great library to pull from and they could actually do a best of AJ Styles thing on the Network.
They need to incentivise people paying for the Network. Wrestlers like AJ Styles and Samoa Joe built up great bodies of work whilst in TNA and as someone that never watched TNA when it was "good" I'd definitely want to see these old matches.

Look up uhaa nation vs BxB hulk
Knowing Lykos looks like this has ruined it for me. I expected something more akin to when Kane first unmasked.
Can you hostile take over a private company?

That's BS because it doesn't take into account the context. On Monday's Observer Radio, someone asked if New Japan would run NOLA for WM weekend and Meltzer said he doubted it. Then on today's radio he said that "actually" they were thinking about running NOLA. That's clearly an update on info.
Plus why would New Japan run NOLA if not on WM weekend? There are a ton of cities that are better wrestling markets if you are just running a random show in say May or September.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
NJPW isn't making money hand over fist. Hell they were straight up losing money 5 years ago.

Happy three years, dude.
Nope, you can't, unless say you bribe Kidani's family against his wishes. Didn't realize Kidani owned Bushiroad completely, it would make it even harder.
Fair enough.
You can't force a person to sell his company though.

We should start 305 Almost Live as counter programming. It's for the larger folk who aren't as active.
Right after I start GAF Culture Pro Wrestling.

2K already had to clarify this is only for MyCareer and Nothing Else, btw
Colonials have this whole mentality that "if person A has more money than person B they could totally buy them out"
It is laughable how lightly the term is tossed around.
