so I've seen people dissing Naomichi Marufuji here and other places every now and then. what's the problem with him?

haven't seen too many matches but they have all been good at the very least. the match vs. Okada at G1 was great.

He's been incredibly inconsistent during his career and seems to have lacked motivation at times, whereas at others he's been a good contender for one of the best wrestlers in the world. Also, he suffered because NOAH repeatedly failed to create any new heavyweight stars, then his push to become a heavyweight wasn't entirely well received. Since KENTA/Itami left for the WWE and Marufuji got creative control, he's been a major focus in NOAH (between injuries) and that's been a good thing at times, but mostly a bad thing.

Whenever he shows up in NJPW he always puts in a good performance, though. Strangely, he's almost more appreciated by the NJPW fans than the NOAH fans these days.

Friends, Roman fans and WrassleGaffers,

I have a bone to pick.

I think it's time we let the Full Sail crowd be. Will they chant things and almost certainly have some idiots who try to get themselves over? Yes. You know what? That's the nature of a small room crowd. Even a crowd up to 1k. Have you ever been to a local indie wrasslin event? There are hecklers that put those in Full Sail to shame. My point? It's a non issue. Can it be annoying? Sure.....but if it's getting in the way of you enjoying quality wrestling, maybe you should stick to Raw or Smackdown where the biggest distraction from the crowd is someone watching for the camera to cut to them and jumping up and waving to their friends every minute or so.

TL/DR : Ignore the Full Sail crowds, watch the wrasslin.

I have no problem with them because usually I tune out anyway. I have a problem with silent crowds though. I need the interaction from the audience, that's part of the show imo.

Menome is Seth, Blue is Ambrose and Sweeney Tom is Roman.

Seth is the real talent, Ambrose talk too much non-sense and Roman is boring as fuck.

Glad to see I'm starting to get some true recognition around these parts.

I've been thinking, and I believe Ambrose going to Smackdown is a good thing as he's being split up from the other two Shield members. He's not going to be in the shadow of a feud with "a former brother" or being Roman's little buddy in summer-long feuds with the Wyatts. It's a chance for him to really sink or swim on his own merits as one of the top four guys on a promotion.

 

[Bandini]

CWC has exceeded my expectations thus far. Good shit.

I'll always succeed brother, don't worry about me. When we came in this business, we said we would take over and look where we are now. All for one and one for all.

I got a little sad imagining their hall of fame speech. It's going to be something similar to that and the fists together will be the tear jerker.

Bandini? SAL Bandini? The Ready to Rumble cast keeps growing!

 

[Menome]

It took the three most steadfast non-turners to take down the turniest man in the business.

More awful shoots by pseudo jobbers. Some people just need to shut up imo. Pull up some bootstraps. Keep your head down. Pay your dues. All that good stuff.

Spoiler

Literally exactly the same as what the Bellas and Paige have said in the past nearly word for word. Talk about company culture/structural issues.

Jesus christ, RIP my ears.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Whilst I know you're online Zach and watched it very recently: Does the Network version of Over The Edge '99 show Owen's accident or does it skip straight to afterwards?

Basically, I don't want to watch a man die.

It skips it.

You wouldn't even know Owen died if you went to watch it without knowing the back story.

And obviously the accident wasn't in the live feed camera either.

Yeah, I've never seen an actual clip of him falling.

Not that I'd ever want to, but every version I've ever come across of that PPV doesn't show it.

 

[Menome]

Okay, good to know. Thanks, friends.

 

[Kaladin]

Okay, good to know. Thanks, friends.

It's hard enough watching the promos from Jeff Jarrett and others after.

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

The WWE philosophy these days are that the belt can make the person be more over.

Whereas really how it usually works is that the person is the one that is supposed to make the belt mean something.

I get that. Is he trying to say that Ambrose is the reason the belt is under (cus he is not) or that Ambrose will have to get the belt over (which I think he can)?

 

[Zach]

Which aren't even shown on the Network version. Someone probably already said that, but whatevz.

I swear I saw a version where it was at some point. Maybe it was a version I got from elsewhere.

I watched the cut stuff on YouTube or DailyMotion or something.

 

[Kaladin]

Today's WWE would replay it 5 times on the live feed before cutting to the next match.

 

[Bluekaveli]

You'll only see it if you worked in the vault. They have it and can't delete it for legal purposes. Same with Droz's neck injury.

Okay, good to know. Thanks, friends.

If you wanted to see the original with Jr reporting, you can find it easily. AlSo be sure to listen to The Lapsed Fan episode. It's rrally good.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

I don't think one exists. They talked about this on Lapsed Fan (def. listen when you're done watching OTE '99) in detail.

 

[Recall]

CWC was awesome again. Main event was insane.

 

[Zach]

I have been entertained... by Jeff Jarrett!! :O

 

[KissVibes]

How long until Dolph Ziggler gets his Fox News show?

 

[mechashiva]

Anyone else having issues watching the CWC this week on the network?

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Anyone else having issues watching the CWC this week on the network?

I did. Had to stop watching because during the Tajiri match it just kept skipping every few seconds ahead to a different part of the match.

 

[Kaladin]

Only issue I had is when I went to continue it this afternoon after watching it last night from a "Begin from beginning" selection since it was currently airing. It was like I had never watched it before.

 

[SallyIsNow]

I was with a group of about 7, and 6 of them pull out their phone and play Pokemon GO. This is a group of people that have about 3 consoles between them. This shit is taking over. Legit shook.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Al Wilson having the time of his life at this wedding. Lucky guy, glad he's getting to see this moment.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OH FUCK YES.

 

[Data West]

People are excited about old midcarders that were both huge flops during the worst era of WWE history?

Why?

 

[Jimmy King]

How many wrasslers do you think are voting for Trump?

 

[galvatron]

How long until Dolph Ziggler gets his Fox News show?

I don't know if I'm more shocked that Dolph is on Fox News or that Kennedy is still on TV.

 

[Kaladin]

How many wrasslers do you think are voting for Trump?

Depends on where he stands on independent contractors.

 

[Bluekaveli]

How many wrasslers do you think are voting for Trump?

Like Vince is allowing anyone time off to vote. He's probably like, wait until 2020 to vote for me.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I don't know if I'm more shocked that Dolph is on Fox News or that Kennedy is still on TV.

WWE sent Dolph to cover the RNC for them. He's also doing the DNC for them

 

[Hidden One]

So there's rumors that Paige and Del Rio might have broken up lmao, if true I called this shit the moment Del Rio got drafted to SD. Apparently Paige has removed all her pictures of Del Rio from Instagram.

 

[mechashiva]

I did. Had to stop watching because during the Tajiri match it just kept skipping every few seconds ahead to a different part of the match.

Yup and then it acted like I finished it. Hope that get it fixed.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Is GAF ready?

I want to get into the argument with people that BLTs aren't real sandwiches and they don't deserve to go on the menu with real sandwiches.

They're in the same boat as a grilled cheese.

Let me see if my mom's available to chat, Data Wich.
