No shit they don't like it when TNA keeps talking about how "wrestling matters" and "WWE are the ones who do silly stuff we're REALLLL".

Is Almas going to be stuck as Hijo Dr Godfather
Fellows, I just got back from depositing the check my grandmother left for me. They had to get approval because it was over the limit, so for about 30 seconds I felt like a big shot. There's a hold on most of it until the 12th, but after that, I can pay off my student loans in full and be solvent for the first time since like 2001. If anything happens to me, I don't leave anything behind for anyone else to pay off. I can die clean. That's a good feeling.

Wait, debt isn't erased if the person dies?
I know this is completely OT, but there's a moment from the G1 like two years ago I think where Yujiro busts Nagata's lip open. So Nagata's natural response was to let his own blood gather in his mouth and spit it in the air exactly like this.
I need to be careful not to go down too many of these legitshook.com rabbit holes...

For "some" read most.
Gotta love the TNA Fans - "Hey guys, we really hate this thing that everyone is paying attention to. So try to not be a dick to people that aren't actual TNA fans but are actually enjoying this Hardy program"

Nope, your inheritors can inherit quite the surprise.
Not as far as I know. But it won't be an issue now. I've lived lean long enough to not spend the remaining money foolishly, three cheers for being a filthy poor.

The Evolve show before NXT Brooklyn now has Hero vs Rhodes on it.

Some one should show Vinn Man the match tonight just for his reaction. I could only imagine what he'll think.

I don't have much time left here. The clock is ticking. Praying for a CM Punk surgery.

This card is absolutely mental.
JIGSAW, TRANSFORM your mask so you can actually breathe while working with it on.
actually he has 4, the same as Mutoh. and Okada isn't the only one "overpushed" like you say. Tana racked up 4 title reigns in 3 years.Tenzan got to 4 reigns in 2 and a half years. did you complain about them too back then?

I guess I'm going to both the July and the August Evolve shows then.

Okada has held the title four times for 800+ days in five years. Mutoh held the title twice for 600+ days in three and a half years. Not a great deal of difference there in my estimation, not to mention the supporting cast of genuine main event talent Mutoh had beside him during those years and in the years directly after his first two reigns, namely: Shinya Hashimoto, Kensuke Sasaki, Tatsumi Fujinami, Nobuhiko Takada, Scott Norton & Masahiro Chono.

The only complaint I'd have about Okada is that he doesn't have as good a supporting cast (excluding the man himself, Tanahashi) compared to the greats Mutoh worked with.
Dude, tons of people complained about Tenzan and Tanahashi's title and G1 pushes. Tenzan and Tanahashi were both already in their 30s when their big main event poushes started. Okada is only 28 and firmly cemented into the main event picture as the sole focus of the company.
He's not going to suddenly stop competing for the title anytime soon. He's going to break every record and since they're going to want to 'keep it fresh'(but not let Okada stay out of the title picture for longer than a month) he's going to lose the title and get it back quickly. His reigns are going to inflate so bad that Edge's sudden title spree or Booker T's 5 time championship spree back in the day is going to look serious and well-paced.

If Okada's the be all and end all, it sure is strange he's only in a single G1 main event this year while Shibata is in nine. Almost as if they're trying to position Shibata as one of the top draws. But sure, it's an all Okada future. Naito's not winning the G1 or the WK contract, nor is he winning the title at WK and, even if any of that somehow happens, he's certainly not holding the belt for longer than a month. Yay, pessimism!!
That's booking's fault though. They had the greatest heavyweight roster in years and let three of them get away, didn't build up anyone else, and ultimately proved that one guy is always more important than everyone else. Shibata fucking around firmly puts him in the upper midcard and not the main event because they were scared to pull the trigger on him because Tanahashi got legit shook by him years ago. They sent Suzuki off to a NOAH death camp and Naito's popularity pretty much flies in the face of what they were trying to do with their booking for years. Basically thank Rush and Sombra for building them a main eventer for free.
When you're being scalped by WWE constantly you can not do this Hulk Hogan Golden Age 'THE guy' bullshit unless you're on top. And NJPW isn't on top.
well then your best hope is that Vince and Based Haitch lure Okada to the big leagues

I fucks with an Orton/Lesnar match. Long overdue.

Agreed. Lesnar vs. Orton would likely be even worse than Lesnar vs. Ambrose, other than the potential for an F5-into-RKO transition that'll never happen.

Orton probably can't even give you a regular match without pulling some sort of muscle. Like I said, Brock's going to end his career giving Orton's brittle body those Suplexes.
They will. there's no way he sticks around long-term. He can talk building up NJPW all he wants, but he'll jump ship sooner than later.
And then booking will turn into a burning dumpster fire and someone will get shouldered with the responsibility of suddenly being 'the guy' and it'll fail because they didn't build them up and Yujiro will write a tell-all book.

You know damn well Shibata's not gonna be up there. How many years is it Shibata's year? How many?!
Hey man, you never know.
He gets injured again and can retire, move back into the basement, finish Batman: Arkham City, then get his gas station job back. Live the Orton dream.
Look, I don't want to get into a fight here but 2016 is actually the year of The Wrestler. He signed a goddamn contract. This is his fucking year. Then it'll be his goddamn decade.
Trick question, they're all Okada's year.
Every year is Okada's year even when they're not Okada's year.
i guess "year of Shibata" is like "year of Del Potro" in tennis. or like "year of PS3" if you weel
