Didn't like it. Looked like a male bodice on him. Preferred Cesaro's new robe. Looks better than the jacket, makes him look less goofy.
Hit the nail on the head.

I'm sure he'll do a promo saying something similar to the stuff he's been saying.

It'd be nice if there were subtitles in japanese matches. It's like I'm trying to watch raw anime episodes otherwise.

Honestly, this year's G1, I feel Lance Archer is going to have a LOT of time in the sun.

The closest this has come in the past decade was still avoided by an absolute-last-second insertion of Bryan in the Mania match.
It's like a drug, or a thing idiots do/like. It doesn't matter how much times it's burned you in the past, it doesn't matter that you know it'll keep burning you in the future. You remember the good times you had with it, so you come back thinking this time will be different.

That's the thing - I never get hung up on that because the story is told through actions, and not the commentary. I guess for some, it's necessary because there's a distance between it, but for me, it's all in there and all good.
aw yiss. Time to start reading. Thanks!

Not to mention a,pll wrestling commentary is garbage . New Japan commentary is awesome because they get hype for stuff and not pushing twitter every 5 seconds

Some of the champions are outdated. AJ Styles is now IWGP champion. Bad Luck Fale is IC Champion and Yujiro Takahasi holds the NEVER title. Time Splitters are the Jr. Tag Champs.

I was making fun of somebody who said there was no chance Cena would job to Brock clean at Summerslam.
Actually, I spend most of my wrestling time over on other boards, that actually have a whole lot deeper conversation about booking and such, that doesn't devolve to "Cena never puts anyone over" or "Ziggler should beat everybody!!!!!111!"
This thread is good sometimes, but sometimes, especially when there are "bad" booking decisions, it looks like a newsgroup thread from 1997, only people back then actually had valid complains about Hogan screwing things uo.
Like I said, this thread is enjoyable most of the time. But every so often, you forget you're the minority, just like gaming side does when say, Watch_Dogs sells millions of copies despite Downgradegate.
Alright I'm home now for real. SO over all the MITB sounds like a middle of the road PPV here. I might check out the ladder matches, I knew Cena would go over from the get go and came to terms with that. It is what it is.
Glad to hear Big E doubled down on the pastor thing, could be something great IF handled right.
I think they know people will not sign up for the next work after SS so I can actually see them try to do a hail mary and throw everything they can at the PPV. Brock being one of the big ones. I would say Taker but I feel like they are trying to continue the message of "it's over" for him after that WM lost. DB will most likely be back then as well.
Idk, cheer up, friends you will pull through

That's a lame tramp stamp joke on your part sunny
This is pretty much where im at as well. I'm not trying to spin this into "the attitude era was way better" argument but thats when i was thoroughly engaged in the product and i just got back into it right after a lil over a year now; right after the wrestlemania where cena beat rock and for the past year any "top tier" players/feuds/title shots have been amongst the same 4 or 5 dudes. Orton, cena, triple h, bryan and like whatever dude has a big enough push at the moment that can spice things up going into a ppv (i.e. roman reigns, bray wyatt)
Aside from the fact that its just predictable, i just dont understand it.
Its like the afforementioned ppl are in the top tier. Then you have b tier ppl who get big pushes and have the talent but effectively go no where (reigns, cesaro, wyatt etc) and everyone else feels expendable like on some sin cara level type shit

I'd probably like Raw more if i didn't understand what the commentary was saying
So then he does share some of the blame? I'm just trying to make sure the hate for him is warranted. If he's doing shit behind the scenes/in the ring to make others look bad, then that would be enough for me.

Nakamura winning the G1 this year. You can take that to the bank.

That's what I enjoy about the nXt announcers. They actually talk about what's happening in the ring.
He's certainly not giving anyone anything. He's about himself, and that's fine... If you never want your company to grow.
He already won NJPW Cup this year. He's not John Cena.

I'm rooting for Shibata, but it's not his time. The story seems to be building to Nakamura vs. Styles at the Tokyo Dome.
Hero would fit right in with these other indy wrestling stalwarts:

I get distracted by the commentary, especially when I can't understand it. I can mute it, of course, but I hate watching things on mute.

Note that the idea Cena didn't want to put Wade over comes from one podcast show by Edge & Jericho. It's never been proved one way or the other.
Also, it would've been the wrong decision to put Wade over Cena anyway, at least for the title. Nexus could've screwed Cena out of the title, then Wade could've beat Cena, then gone for the title, and be built to be a top heel.

Dude did a clean job to Fale. That'd be like Cena doing a clean job to Rusev. I don't see any reason to have him drop the IC belt if not to send him after the IWGP title. What better way to do that than winning the G1?
G1 is supposed to put someone over who's not been a main eventer, or a 'serious' one, out as a main eventer. As a guy who's gonna be in the mixup soon. Nakamura doesn't need that. It's why Tanahashi didn't win since 2007. It's what kickstarted Okada's career. It would be like John Cena winning KOTR or the Royal Rumble. You can do it, but it serves no purpose, and I like to think NJPW isn't that stupid.
What other boards that are so much deeper and cooler? DVDVR?
On a side note, how did you feel about Paul Ryan?

I don't know. Seems like they are building to something big for Tokyo Dome. And if AJ still has the belt by then, none of the up-and-coming options make sense.

The man's had issues with his weight throughout his life, I'm not shocked he's fallen off the deep end after losing his WWE contract. Hopefully he recovers from it before he ends up looking like Bull Dempsey.
