Me too, thought he'd be getting a push in this tournament, as it was he was eliminated about 3 shows ago. Seems to be continuing to feud with KUSHIDA though, be interesting to see how he does in the Super-J.
EDIT: DAMMIT
Wow, that's new.
They probably forgot they show TNA or something.
I like BUSHI's angle of just hating KUSHIDA and being jealous of him for all his success - it's like a alternate version of Okada/Naito. Still I had BUSHI as my 1 or 2 to win BoSJ, so I wonder what they will do with him afterwards.

Makes sense. KOR has to be sick of treading water in the cruiserweight division and his style would be a great fit for the heavyweights.

Fish has never looked like a Jr. to me, if Kyle can bulk up I see no reason he can't wrestle at heavyweight and it would be good to shed one of the Jr. gaijin teams. They need another native team, BUSHI's been asking for another Jr. in Los Ingobernables, so hopefully they can find someone fitting...Kenou & BUSHI, sounds good to me.
His style of fake kicking and fake submissions? They already have a Heavyweight doing that named Shibata. And frankly, O'reailly isn't good enough for NJPW's heavyweight division
Shit like that always comes off as disrespectful to me. Like they treat the junior heavyweight division as some sort of stepping stone for them. And they ain't good enough for NJPW's main heavyweight division.
we know its fake and I'll take more people kicking the piss out of each other any day.
but jumping to the Heavyweights after beating the Jr. champion, presumably setting up a title match is pretty weird alright. I wonder if that bit of news is actually true.

Jr /Heavyweight split seems so out dated today. Should just replace the belt with the Never title.Seems like there is a ceiling outside of the 4 weeks of BOSJ
Seems crazy to have a guy like ricochet stuck in endless 3 way tags. Imagine riccochet vs Tana/Okada/Naito

Post-match comments and interviews in New Japan aren't always indicative of any actual direction the booking will take, wrestlers have in the past used them to pitch ideas to see how the fans react online.

Did the Hardy brothers have their epic and insane showdown yet? i'm oddly intrigued.

Yessssss Mark Hunt

EDIT: DAMMIT
Gedo is super high on O'Reilly so I suppose this makes sense. Still, it's a shame because it means we won't get Ricochet and Sydal vs. reDRagon, hopefully they'll at least do that for DOMINION.
you're right, I already know the answer
Mark Hunt walk off KOs Brock. Hunt faces Roman at Summerslam.

Brock set to fight "The Super Samoan"
I can already picture Vince writing the SummerSlam promos where Brock will fight The REAL Super Samoan...
Listening to Brock speak tho. I see why Heyman does all the talking in WWE promos.

Jr division is treated as a B division, I can't blame guys for getting frustrated with that.
Just be transparent about it, NJPW
whoever wins BOSJ can be rewarded by going to the other division because apparently no one wants to rebuild the junior division. Could you imagine if Koji Kanemoto was like, 'nah fuck this, i'm going heavyweight. thanks for the push as one of the faces of junior heavyweight wrestling, but i'm going heavyweight'
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy then because how can the Junior Division be taken seriously when everyone tries to get out as soon as they start getting over?

Well GAF who is applying
Are we pretending this is not a 24/7 open position?
The average writer in WWE lasts 3 months before leaving the company, as per a former WWE writer.

At what point does Vince have God make his long awaited return and put Roman over?

Absolutely true. But at the same time, someone like Kyle who's been going round the 4 team tags for 3 years, he's done the time. And NJ has to really get behind the Jr division as equal.

Yep should replace Jr division with the Never title or bring back the U-30 title. Finley and white need a bigger platform.
You know his real name, huh? That's pretty cool.
Might want to call him a nazi-lover, too, for good measure.

I wouldn't say he's "calling out" Bret at all. Rollins expressed his disappointment as professionally as he possibly could.
Bret is a bitter old man.
He did not end Sting's career.
If someone ended my career by being reckless in the ring I'd probably still be salty too.

If Brock can't manhandle the 42-year-old Samoan, why should I think for one second that he can put up a challenge to the 31-year-old Samoan?

Tonight's the night!!
Everything happens fast and the knee to the nose was an accident... those are bound to happen in a "sport" like wrestling, I don't think it has anything to do with Rollins being unprofessional
Ryback injuring everyone repeatedly, now that's something else
It's definitely a different era than what it was 10 years ago, much less 20 and 30. Hurt my feelings?
'I don't like him so that's different'

Vince gotta make Roman super strong.
But the Internet has said you're not allowed to be salty or bitter. You have to be grateful and humble at all times.

Ryback only looked like he injured people though.

Brock is like SF 1 Sagat, two moves and opponent is done. So even hurt One suplex, F5 then pin
Ryback is a bad wrestler, he's dumb as fuck and clearly doesn't understand the concept of protecting people, or his vision is blurred by all the steroids
Rollins did hurt Stang in a weird spot, that's arguable. But the nose thing? cmon. That happened really fast and was an inch too far, it happens
or another example : The Miz refusing to catch people is way more dangerous than Rollins

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
I haven't seen a UFC event since Brock's last fight. Is this Mark Hunt guy good/expected to win?
I know nothing about this Mark Hunt dude but everyone says that he is a wicked striker who was a boxer or kickboxer or something. So one good shot to the head could equal a bad concussion.
I'd love to see WWE spin letting a concussed Brock work SummerSlam, even if it is a month afterwards.
