Pleas tell me video of some of these dusty matches exist somewhere

His May tour of New Japan featured a number of unique dream matches that never happened in the U.S. at the time, including Rhodes challenging Bob Backlund for the WWF title, Inoki for the NWF title, and single matches against both Hansen and Andre. There were also tag matches like Rhodes & Hansen vs. Backlund & Fujinami, Rhodes & Chavo Guerrero vs. Backlund & Fujinami, Rhodes & Backlund vs. Inoki & Fujinami, Rhodes & Hogan & Andre vs. Inoki & Sakaguchi & Kobayashi.

Well the Beast from the east was a success:

John Laurinaitis worked as the producer and head agent for WWE's recent tour of Tokyo, including the "Beast In The East" WWE Network special.

Laurinaitis is the one who came up with the idea to use streamers before the NXT Title Match with Finn Balor and Kevin Owens with the idea it would give the show a unique Japanese flavor. Laurinaitis also booked the pre-match ceremony where the women in kimonos presented flowers to both Balor and Owens.

WWE did send a production crew to Tokyo to air the show but they saved on costs by not using the normal setup and production that they use for pay-per-view events.

The live WWE Network special was considered to be a major success. WWE officials are already looking at doing more Network-exclusive specials, likely in better timeslots as this show began at 5:30am EST.

I think we might get some real ass International PPVs next year if this keeps up. If you're going to do 12-13 a year anyways you can move pretty much all of them besides SS, RR, and WM's time back or forwards a bit.

"PPVs" have already become Raw's with gimmick matches added for the most part.
They have not been special for quite some time other than Mania and Summer Slam.
The easiest one to keep special was Survivor Series and they wrecked that years ago.
Oh and we saw what happened to the Royal Rumble this year.

The whole point of this plan is to do it in front of a liquid magma hot crowd without raising the costs.

SS was pretty damn good this year as well. One match can make a show.

Maybe I should shelve the bean breath Brand and change my iconic screen name as it seems some narrow minded people here are misinterpreting its meaning.

Multiple Sources actually put up a "correction". 😭😭 Even Mark Frenlen wouldn't take it this far.

That dude's a ringer, he was already an indy wrestler before the competition. He even has a video where Lita does the twist of fate on him.

Nah, they used to be an event. You had The Rumble, Mania, Summer Slam, and Survivor Series.

Then came the age of "In Your House" and some of them weren't bad at all. Instead of four per year, you now split it so every two months you had a PPV for the most part.
But then it moved to Monthly which was bad enough, but now you have monthly PPVs with "specials" mixed in.
Now Raw is just horrible filler with a shining spot here and there.
At least in the past you would have big things happen on Raw.

I am more interested in Total Divas Eva Marie drama than anything that has happened on Raw since the summer time burial of Ambrose. WWE is in trouble. The most interesting storyline/rivalry is on Total fucking Divas. Jesus Christ.

IYH was the actual start of the monthly PPVs, the only reason 1995 doesn't have 12 of them is that it started after Mania so they missed doing one in February.

Don't you just want her to utilize Bryan Kendrick's teachings to destroy Paige?

The first half hour largely sucked beyond comedy from facial expressions. Make that about 45 minutes. There was just a ton of filler here with Josh flipping between face and heel a ton. Okay, pretty much the whole sucked other than the main event, which was too short. Best part of the show was probably Jeff Jarrett using TNA's TV to imply that GFW is bigger than TNA during the first part of tonight's two part two parter interview.

After the show went off the air, Cena went on the mic and put over Cesaro. Cena talked about his past matches in the building, and mentioned losing his title in the building to a guy who then jumped over the guard rail and left (Punk). There was a light Punk chant but Cena was pretty much asking for it and probably expected a louder version when he brought that story up. He said he liked Chicago because when you perform well in Chicago, the people let you know it. He then called Cesaro back in the ring. He told Cesaro (the two are very good friends in real life, and in fact often train together since both lift heavy weights and are similar in strength so they don't have to spend too much time loading and unloading weights between sets) that he deserved the crowd's praise for how well he performs whenever he's given the chance. He told Cesaro that he deserved more shots at the U.S. title and told the crowd to give Cesaro a big ovation. Cesaro was cheered a lot louder here than he was during the match itself. Cena was almost in tears doing this promo so it clearly meant a lot to him to put Cesaro over in this way. After booing Cena out of the building and singing "John Cena sucks" when he came out with the cameras on, they gave him a standing ovation after the speech. Cena then said that Chicago is the greatest wrestling city in the country.

A lot of readers care about whether or not certain individuals have heat or not between each other and sometimes he provides it. Learning's fun.

He also knows a bunch of training stuff because there was a time a decade ago where he was ridiculously into bodybuilding. Dead serious. In like 2003 or so, him and HHH would hang out and instead of do whatever normal human friends do, they would spend sometimes a full hour just talking about weightlifting. I don't know how either pull it off.
