Here's the G1 schedule;

Can someone remind me how the cards for G1 shows are laid out?

For some reason I was under the impression that only guys from either Block A or Block B would be having matches at each show but looking at the card for the show I was at last year there were 10 matches. I'm guessing guys from both blocks were at that show. My memory is God awful.

They've changed the schedule about a bit to try and lessen the number of injuries, so there's more shows on the tour but less G1 block matches per show. And yeah, this year each show will have either Block A or Block B matches. Last year there were indeed about 10 G1 matches per-show, this time it's only 4-5 block matches with random tags & young lion stuff thrown in. You can check out the complete cards here;

That's a lot of wrestling for only 999 Yen.

Cheers for clearing that up. Much appreciated.

Why is my Twitter blowing up about bullshit about it being a dick move to expose a masked wrestler's identity

What is this, Civil War

I dunno, if someone's trying to keep their private life private, it's a dick move to expose that.

 

[jmdajr]

You guys dumping on the cell saga are Crazy

Cell saga is great.

 

[Jamie OD]

That's a lot of wrestling for only 999 Yen.

Absolute bargain compared to how much it cost the last two years. To be honest I'm not expecting this year's tournament to be better than the last two but it will still be an amazing series to watch.

Cell saga is great.

I can't wait to see how DBZ Abridged covers the Cell Games. Should be their next episode or the one after I think.

 

[Plywood]

Guys, I can confirm Austins Broken Skull Challenge is real.

 

[avengers23]

Someone has to do it!

Is there a new pastebin with Quack sleaze, or is it the one from a few years ago getting circulated again?

 

[BronsonLee]

A pretty talented young wrestler who'd probably doing a lot better by now if he wasn't under a fucking ant mask.

Brandon & Danielle have had it out for Voices of Wrestling for ages now after one of the hosts said something vaguely misogynistic about women's wrestling a few years back (he's not a fan), in spite of the fact that VOW covers women's wrestling more than Stroud's site does.

They're both goddamn idiots. Nobody would've even known about this shit if they hadn't started that subtweet bullshit.

Silver Ant will be fine, but they didn't help him with this shit at all.

I dunno, if someone's trying to keep their private life private, it's a dick move to expose that.

So real talk, Silver was in my same training class. I've known him for almost a decade.

You can probably make an argument that VOW fucked up, but Stroud and Danielle took that error and shined a light on it that it absolutely did not need.

I hadn't caught up with the drama, yeah form the sounds of it S&D are the ones being shitty.

 

[Jamie OD]

Stroud's normally an ok guy and he was involved with The Dugout so I can't hate him. But things like this and certain aspects of women's wrestling make him dig himself into unnecessary holes for some reason.

 

[pulsemyne]

Someone tell me this tweet is real.

The reply to this is amazing "@iveetsa I spend most nights eating Monster Munch and wanking and I'm fucking miserable so you might have a point"

Lesnar vs Austin confirmed

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Austin's never wrestling again, deal with it.

G1 schedule confirms Nak winning. Which is a shame, I like a more nebulous decision, but that day before the finals...

G1 matches I am HIGHLY looking forward to:

Tanahashi/Ibushi
Shibata/Styles
Okada/Elgin (more as a curiosity, I don't expect too much from it)
Nagata/Honma
Yano/Styles
Makabe/Fale
Honma/Okada
Ibushi/Styles
Nagata/Yujiro (Grump factor)
Naito/Styles

yknow what fuck this, I'm interested in pretty much everything, to be honest.

WWE keeps living in the past. Great.

 

[FlammableD]

To be fair, the trailer is pretty dope.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zoo4BHcPMb0

Besides, cover is purely marketing, the current fans will buy regardless, it's the console people that don't watch anymore they're trying to catch.

Also also, Devitt on the cover wouldn't make it a good game.

Nostalgia is all the game has at this point.

Well I'll be amazed.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I don't care who's on the cover, but the best way to get sales is with Austin.

"WWE 2K16 is currently in development for Xbox One and Xbox 360, as well as PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3"

Think we'll get a Zamboni driving mini game in the showcase?

"WWE 2K16 is currently in development for Xbox One and Xbox 360, as well as PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3"

well its definitely not going to be any good now

Lesnar vs Austin confirmed

are you astroturfin, Plywood?

you on the payroll?

 

[kiguel182]

The games and Mania if that HHH vs Rock match happens.

 

[KingBroly]

Austin's head is throwing me off. It looks HUGE.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Something apt about Austin digging up the old belt!

From a purely selfish standpoint I'm disappointed they haven't ditched the old formats yet, but then I guess there's still a lot of sales to be had from those. Also, I may as well come clean; every year I say I'm not buying it and then eventually do at some point so...

I'm going to buy this, and probably double dip on PC too. #middlefinger

[Entropia]

I thought they were going to reveal it on RAW? :lol

Spoiler

They still probably will waste 10-15 minutes doing a reveal

Of course, as we now all think Austin is going to appear on Raw.

I don't think Jamie Noble is too wrong.

Can we please add "CM Punk will never wrestle again" as Noble Truth #3?

Wha? But Pank will be back in a couple years.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Guys, I did a 'budget breakdown' because baby and I realised I'm spending £36 a month on wrestling VODs. I can only imagine how much Bootaaay is spending!

I can't even comprehend how neutered past gen versions would be at this point.

A baby is going to break you, but you'll be happy. Enjoy the money sink. I hear they give back weird things like feelings of love, I hear it's a good exchange.

If it happens, I'll eat my hat.

Hey, you're spending more than Yukes does making a new WWE game...

 

[scabro]

i remember this game

where all the tv's were stacked into a pyramid in career mode

god this game was shit

 

[FlammableD]

I'm on £18.56, plus the occasional download/DVD purchase for SHIMMER/PWG/Rev Pro etc.

While I'm on the topic, fucks sake SHIMMER need to sort their production out. Nicole Matthews has been champion since October, and the DVD of that ISN'T EVEN UP FOR PREORDER YET, and the last SHIMMER show I pre-ordered has been up since April and still not shipped. Fucks sake, get a Vimeo account

It's hilarious to me that WWE2K games always have better promo trailers than WWE themselves.

Remember Sting's WWE2K reveal vs Sting's actual WWE reveal?

LTTP but congrats Mr (& Mrs) Luchador! Babies are good fun - but you gotta start building that core strength; lots of carrying and squatting coming up for you!!

And Bootaaay clearly has the ability to make money appear from nowhere when it comes to his habit:

 

[Sephzilla]

Two Noble Truths:

I think Austin will have one more match but I don't think it will be against someone like Lesnar. He just can't take the abuse that Lesnar's moveset requires he take. Austin should and would come back to fight someone like HHH or Cena.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Thanks everyone who wished us well, it still hasn't sunk in yet! I will promise not to become one of those Facebook Friends that suddenly stops being normal and only spams updates on their child!!

 

[FlammableD]

While I'm talking shit about SHIMMER, here's the dark match Men's Battle Royal from their very first show, featuring Cesaro amongst others.
