What would be cool, my dream of Kane v Mortis. Yes Rocky!
Does Jericho talk about the invasion in his second book? I'd love to know what his feelings were about wCw guys coming over.

Well they brought in an IT director a while back who pissed the two chaps off... one left so the director recruited a friend of his; second guy has walked this morning citing constructive dismissal.

Ospreay doesn't need the win, imo - he's 2 months into a 2 year contract, plenty of time for him to go after the Jr. title. I don't see him moving to heavyweight at all though, he's tall, but his style is extremely Jr. heavyweight orientated. I think Taguchi winning the BoSJ will ultimately be more about KUSHIDA, whether or not Taguchi beats him for the title it becomes about KUSHIDA defeating the veteran who ended his last title reign - he only beat Taguchi for the very first time in this year's BoSJ. Also, while I would have liked to see BUSHI win, it's good to see that their feud is continuing. BUSHI can be the rival KUSHIDA's in need of.
Kamaitachi said he wants to return as a heavyweight, if that happens I'd prefer it to him coming back as a Jr. and then moving up to heavyweight.
Here's my booking:
Suzuki returns and wins G1. Beats Naito for the title since Naito's popular enough that he's pretty much a tweener at this point anyways. Set up Suzuki vs Okada, Suzuki vs Shibata, Naito vs Sanada, Tanahashi vs Suzuki, etc and give Suzuki his third so he can be a Triple Crown finally

How many more Teddy Long appearances were there last night after the first one? Love that guy.
AJ v Cena promo off worth a gawk too?
Becky does speak weird, I feel like she's trying to not have her accent be too strong.

I would have no problem with Taniguchi winning unless they want the Ospreay rematch before he has to go get surgery.

So Cena handled the club all by himself on RAW, really getting sick of this.
Agreed, it's kind of hard for her to be a credible powerhouse/bully heel when she's at least 2" shorter than everyone else on the main roster.
Eh, Scott Steiner was only 6'1"

lol, another Jr. tag 3-way match.

Which means in real terms he was about 5'10" but yeah not every powerhouse needs to 6'4" or more

Oh my god these fatal four ways and six-man tag matches are getting to be too much. It's like Russo all over again where they latch onto a match gimmick and beat it to death.
Wait till you see who comes back next week to make a play for being the new GM

It's PWG's annual 24 person 3 night tournament, Battle of Los Angeles. Probably not unfair to say it's the biggest event in the Indy year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Los_Angeles_(professional_wrestling)
Only way to watch is whenever PWG get the DVD's out, usually a couple months after. Won't be anywhere online (other than torrents) for a long while after the DVD release.
Honestly? American Patriotism is pretty obnoxious, so that's probably why. You don't just support your country or countrymen, you seem to be absolutely 100% convinced that America is the greatest country on Earth and everyone should be like America.
When realistically (and also objectively by most research) you're pretty much midfield to lower end of all the western countries.
So yeah, it's pretty much a by-association thing, patriotism is linked to the massive ego the US as a country exudes.

AJ needs to come out with 8x10s of Cena's previous victims
How about Canada having a Maple Leaf in EVERY LOGO. Go to Mcd's and they have a maple leaf near the arch.

I have flat waving of all kinds, it's bullshit, cheer the individual based or their own merits, not their nationality.

Anybody who unironically believes the US is the greatest country on Earth needs to open their eyes and grow the fuck up. It is great in some regard but is has serious chronic problems.

Oh, please. There's SO MUCH patriotism in American wrestling, WWE especially, I don't think you guys even notice, but it's incredibly noticeable to a foreigner. We're not generally an overly-patriotic nation, but god forbid a young man take pride in the country of his birth!
There's a difference between being a patriot and being a total fanatic for your country.

Also let's not forget the huge amount of USA vs the World feuds we have seen. Or wrestlers who have been typecast as heels just for being from outside the US.

American patriotism is very different from European patriotism, though, as Boots pointed out you probably don't even notice this.
It's not a knock on you guys, either, but it's just very apparent when you watch a program like WWE puts on, which is very very america-centric.
I mean, I cringe every time it's Veteran's day or Tribute to the Troops day and there's a video package where we hear about how amazing America is and how blessed everyone is for serving America and what not. Just to use as an example.
In most of the rest of the world being in the military is literally just another job, and while we have our memorial day, there are no 3-minute "yay troops" videos leading into our TV programs, for instance.
Bro, two of your most notable guys wear Union Flags all over their jocks
I don't see Ricochet running around in America trunks. Obviously John Cena wears a lot of American flag apparel because it's part of his gimmick as a fake marine or whatever the fuck. Beyond that, who else does it? Swagger doesn't do it anymore and when he did, it was portraying him as a bad guy. Kurt has been doing that shit since the 90s, and it's part of his Olympic gimmick.
I don't see Gable running around with USA garb everywhere. The only people wearing USA tights other than that now are all heels.
I don't see why that matters in a Japanese company.
Wearing a Union Jack clothing item is one thing, threatening to attack Owens for stepping on a title belt that has a US flag on it, that's American Patriotism.

Aiii and my Euro bros, back me up here - US patriotism is kinda weird, right? Politicians and presenters dropping "greatest country on earth" all over the place, the president being called "the leader of the free world", national anthem sung at the start of every live event, flag worship, support the troops mentality, etc.
Nationalists exist in every country there, guy
Add "God bless our country" to that list as well, it's very weird.

There's also the outright indoctrination in US schools by having pupils recite the pledge of allegiance.

Yup. At the same time, I can see the point here:
It's a representation thing. Not many Brits make it to the world stage historically, whereas Americans have a huge advantage in that regard, so they don't feel the need to represent their country personally. The America patriotism manifests itself at more of the company level, and much more intensely that "Oh hey, I'm from this country".Bro, two of your most notable guys wear Union Flags all over their jocks
