I was expecting "fuck me in my ass like the 9/11 twin towers falling into my ass" like last night.
I call bullshit when people do the "he left to do this then he was gonna come back"
they never come back

Enlighten me. There's a number of ways they can go and, judging from the predictions I've seen, there doesn't seem to be much consensus amongst the fans, so I'm not sure "everyone" knows. I predicted what I thought was the most logical and safe option and practically no one agreed with me, so... ¯\_(ツ

Are y'all saying it's gonna be Nak? It might not though...

Well, yeah, I don't necessarily buy the shit that Bischoff is selling, that's just his story.
The idea that he'd say "booker man" as a worked shoot is really bizarre because I bet even a significant portion of people who post about wrestling in 2015 wouldn't know what he was saying.
I like Cesaro enough I just don't think he's top-tier material. His gimmick really is just being really Swiss. Also, the Cesaro swing is a dumb move and goes on about 4 times longer than it ever should.

The ending of Wrestle Kingdom 9 was the current ace telling the upcoming ace he wasn't good enough. And the new Ace failed to capture the title. I wonder who will be the winner of G1 and thus main event Wrestle Kingdom 10.

Nak is the most popular choice, to set up Okada vs Nak at WK - I personally predicted a Tanahashi win, though.
It's pretty much just you and me predicting that. Seriously, I keep hearing "but they never do repeat main events at WK!" and "no way's Tana's winning the G1 at his age". The ending may be obvious, but you can't just scrap a story without seeing it through to the end.

Also, it's going to be a grueling tournament. You don't hope for injuries, but you can't predict when they happen. If Okada, Nakamura, or Tanahashi gets injured, the predicted outcomes go out the window.
From the company that ripped the titles off Shibata and Goto to have them wind up on Mr. Husband and Mr. Husband's friend, I'm going to predict Elgin will take G1 and win it all. He'll go to WK and be the new IWGP champion.
There is no escaping the ROH garbage as it seeps into every wound of NJPW. Gedo becomes Inoki except with shitty short indie workers instead of washed up WCW/MMA guys.

Why not?
Omega is pretty over with the crowd almost on the same level as AJ. Dude is like a real live 90s anime character.
Are we watching the same NJPW?

Omega's not in it, for one thing
AJ vs Okada would actually be an awesome WK main event. Okada beats AJ at Dominion, AJ wins the G1 to set up the WK match.

I still don't get what is so hype-worthy about a Giant Swing.
I swear the crowd lost their shit when Omega became The Cleaner. Dude has the it factor to be huge in the main event portion of NJPW.

Yeah...I'll take the ROH guys, thanks.
Agreed, I'm proper hyped for that match - great to see both Ricochet & Sydal back in Dragon Gate, I'm sure they'll blow the roof off Korakuen on Thursday.

And now he's vulgar. RIP Cesaro's last chance at a WWE world title reign
Which was dead regardless after Kane's world title-worthy month of destruction.
Think about it: Kane vs Sheamus for the world title main eventing Mania

....oh well, no FnP at the G1.
For the record, let it be known, Bootaaay thinks Elgin is better than Scott Norton.
I just want everyone to make note of that.

Nothing, it wouldn't even hurt and would give your opponent time to recover. It doesn't even really look cool; they got around that by letting Kidd drop kick the dude, but without it its just a dumb move that lasts too long.

Hey, I made the Wall of Shame!
Sneaking in before June officially ends, here's my TOD review. Warning, it is very image/gif heavy. It's all WebM, so hopefully I shouldn't destroy your bandwidth too much.
If you just want to see my freakout about my needle phobia being tested, skip to the DJ Hyde vs Thumbtack Jack match.

Ever see what happens when Sydal and Ricochet take each other on?
Them teaming together to take on the likes of Naruki Doi and Masato Yoshino is like having one giant highlight reel for a match. Only way it'd get better is if you maybe found a way to slip in Kota Ibushi , Pac, and Yoshitsune.
I will NEVER sleep on a match with BxB Hulk involved. Dude owned japanese wrestling several years ago and is still the equivalent of their Shawn Michaels in my eyes. Man back when he was tag teaming and taking on the likes of Speed Muscle...fucking spectacular stuff.

Give me a great Scott Norton NJPW match that (and here's the catch) didn't take place in the 90's. You've got that one good match with Takayama and...uh, I think one OK match against Tenzan in 2005? What stellar output for six year's worth of tours.
I'm not saying everyone in ROH is automatically better than every gaijin Inoki used during that time, but they are at least in their primes. They aren't washed up stars who'll have over-hyped, disappointing matches based on the talents they USED to be.

Good for you, so would any sane human being. As much as you despise Elgin, or Mr. Husband-o, The Bucks or any of the ROH talent, none of them are Giant Gonzalez.
