Geez 4.5 for Tana Naito.

When people get hung up on Revival and DIY tag matches not getting 5* they should really keep things like this in mind.

I don't personally agree, but I can see where he was coming from.

6.25* is pretty damn goofy, especially since you know that Okada and Omega have a better match in them. Dude's created a beast that can't be tamed.

Haha, yeah. I guess it goes to show that some shouldn't take his ratings as seriously as they do. Imagine the backlash if Omega vs Okada III pleases everyone but he gives it a lesser rating. Will be silly.

At this stage I do wonder what is left for Okada for the rest of this year. I hope to Christ Cody doesn't get the title. I wonder who is left though after all these insane matches.

THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN



they deserve it though. that shit was magic.


Still not better than Austin/Bret at Mania 13 though. Only way that match will be topped is if the 6.25* match results in Omega becoming the biggest wrestling star in America, WWE's death and New Japan taking over the world, ushering in a new boom period for fake sports.

Damn, I was making a joke in the chat about this dude in the background that looks like Samoa joe on this Giant Bomb thing

It's just actually Samoa Joe and he was doing like an hour long interview I missed.

For those who missed it, Xavier Woods on the Giant Bomb stream talking about the trombone:

"I was supposed to hand it off to the prop guy before the match started, but I realized, "I'm never going to have a chance to play trombone on live TV again." So I started playing it during the match for no reason, and one of the camera guys came to me during the commercial and said, "VINCE... IS... LOVING THIS!" When I got to the back Vince told me, "this is it. You're out there with that trombone every night."

Xavier telling that story made me laugh for like 10 minutes.

Such Vince.

It was a lot funnier when Janina Gavankar was on and they had to take back all the shit they said about her performance in the Battlefield II on-stage presentation.

There's a lack of Evie and Nixon Newell there and they're almost certainly going to be in.

amazing.


just more proof that it's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission.

just do shit in the spur of the moment if you think it'll get you over. worst case, you get yelled at and berried on tv. best case, this story.

Two more names that Dave mentions for the Women's Tournament: Toni Storm and Tessa Blanchard. Though he notes neither is under contract at this time.

He also notes that Io Shirai still does not have a start date.

lmfao @ 6.25

Okada/Omega 3 (when Kenny finally wins it) gunning for that 6.5! But wait! Add in that extra 1/2 for being in the dome and that's a 7 star match, baby.

Meltzer says Omega/Okada III is scheduled to happen
before the end of the year.

And that is all that is planned between them at the moment.

I love how Dave said that since Okada/Omega I was the first 6 stars match, Okada/Omega II should be the first Milky Way Galaxy match

Well friends and Marks. I secured tickets to night 2 of the G1 special in Long Beach. Row #7 in the center section. I hope Kenny lands on me with a moonsault. I'll be marking out all the way to the hospital.

Keller mentioned tonight that Nakamura is starting to develop a bad rep backstage because some of the guys feel his work ethic is low. He points to the idea that Nakamura only really tries in big matches as a point of contention for some backstage.

1) how the fuck is friend data west always right
2) i don't see how that should be getting him a bad rep since that's the smart thing to do if you want to be able to stand upright after the age of 40

Okada has to hold the belt until the 20th of October to beat Hashimoto's record. With King of Pro-Wrestling usually happening in the first part of October, I can see them doing Okada-Omega III there. (and Okada is not gonna lose that close to beating the record). He'll probably drop the belt to Naito at WK.

It doesn't help him that AJ is just as old and is putting on great matches with everyone he steps in the ring with.

Scratch that. AJ is three years older. Also Jericho is older. And both of those guys definitely give off way more of a vibe that they are going all out than Nakamura usually does. And if you are a guy in that company (be it talent or booker) who has heard how great this guy is and how he should be treated like a star, then he comes in and has average matches and doesn't really seem like he's trying as hard as he could be, I could see how that could give you a negative opinion of him.
