yea I figure that...Rey probably heading to AAA since he showed up via satellite at Triplemania.

He's already booked for Rey de Reyes for a tag match w/ Mistico.

Undertaker Michaels at WM25, how the hell didn't Taker snap his neck with that suicide dive?.

New Japan fans, any update on BUSHI?

Last I heard was he would be out 6 months, which was back in January.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

Komatsu and Tanaka are going to be damn good once they get a chance to move up the card in New Japan. Hoping it's sooner rather than later.

Hiromu Takahashi's character in CMLL has a mask vs mask match coming up. Presumably he'll lose that and then Komatsu or Tanaka will replace him. Both guys will be good cruisers but New Japan really needs some young heavies.

 

[notworksafe]

Amazing

roman reihgnsa sucks

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Looking forward for a Yano upset tonight, and a Fale upset. No way the Fale one will happen though. Goto/Shibata should be a headbutt-fest. Wonder who they're gonna go with...

 

[ShadowsFell]

There is so much wrasslin' in this world. I loved Sakuraba's MMA fights, but have never really seen any of his pro wrestling matches.

 

[StylesClash]

How far is impact wrestling taped? This is the first time I've watched in a while. Beat down clan? Lmao. No wonder Joe left.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

It's probably the Jim Beam speaking but Macgruber might be the greatest movie ever.

 

[BanGy.nz]

Please Vince, for the love of God give a manager to Balor when he gets promoted to the main roster, not because he cant do promos, but his gimnick screams for a manager for the promos and he being a silent menace. Is really awesome what wwe are doing with Devitt.

He could become Paul Heymans new monster if Brock tells Vince to fuck off after mania.

 

[Serpentine]

i've had that on my watchlist for like a month or two now, think i'll bite tomorrow or during the week before i marathon all those WWE Studios films

 

[ShadowsFell]

He'd need the body/face paint every match though I think.

Go somewhere far far away Taguchi, and take Captain New Japan with you.


EDIT: well that got interesting...

 

[Data West]

No, Taguchi stay in NJPW where you belong with the shitty juniors division. Don't let him taint other places with actual good juniors.

That's painfully desperate. Reminds me of when Punk left WWE.

Please don't use the words "taint" and "Taguchi" together like that - it's... disturbing.

 

[Xater]

Ok saw this on the 404ing panel at PAX. Fuck normal wrestlin! Here is robots wrestling: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0sgJIuLNXw

 

[Data West]

taguchi is definitely a member of sunny's renaissance.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Can someone tell me which episodes de of Nitro has the ric flair dragged out to the desert by hogan?

Also there was a time where the first hour of nitro were just vignettes its when Nash was booking. Are those on the network or Is it just when they went live? Torrie made her debut at a shooting range with hogan during one if these segments I always thought it was cool and different anyone know?

Cody Hall has something. Will take a while to realise it but he's got a future.

 

[Data West]

Cody Hall has something..

Better check my wallet

 

[ghostmind]

That was a good match between CHAOS and the Bullet Club... first time I've Scott Hall's son Cody in action.

 

[Gonzalez]

When will we see Cody Hall performing in a New Japan ring? That kid oozes potential just from the looks of him standing around on the outside.

Edit: I guess my question was answered.

Uh... we just did.


The kid is fucking tall and long limbs. A bit awkward, but he has a lot of potential.

 

[Gonzalez]

Uh... we just did.

Admittedly I don't have NJ World.

 

[miserable]

Tanahashi is not amused at Yano mocking him

 

[Data West]

I replayed Heavy Rain today, and I have to say, warts aside, I still mostly enjoy that game. That and LA Noire are my two 'boy I wish this was better because i think this could be incredible' stuff.

I still find it better than anything Telltale's done.

 

[Alucard]

Kojima and Shibata had a hell of a slugfest in round 1 of the New Japan Cup.

Lots of stiff clotheslines and nice-looking power moves in the ring as well. Shibata is pretty much my favourite dude in NJPW.

 

[DanielMann]

Newbie here, I posted a couple of days ago that I might be going to Korakuen Hall in April for an NJPW event whilst in Tokyo...

Done and done...my friend Yoshiki pulled through and scored me a ticket to NJPW at Korakuen Hall this April Ringside as well I'm off to Korakuen Hall in April for my first ever live NJPW event.

 

[Alucard]

That's great, man. Congrats on the tickets, and enjoy the show. Seeing a wrestling show live in Japan is also on my checklist of things to do one day.

bring a #legitshook sign

 

[Alucard]

bring a #legitshook sign

I wonder...are signs even allowed into New Japan events? Are they culturally acceptable, or are they considered rude for blocking someone's view? I can't recall ever seeing one in the crowd during a match.

Thanks, it's definitely been a bucket list thing for me as well. Especially Korakuen Hall. If there were three arenas I've always wanted to visit it would be Korakuen Hall, the former ECW Arena and Madison Square Garden (preferably for a Wrestlemania).

I'll make sure to post as many photos as I can grab from the event (depends on how they go with cameras)

Think it would be a no-go. I've never noticed signs in the crowds. Also, as you said, it would probably be considered quite a rude thing to do in that culture.

 

[Alucard]

New Ass Biz reaction gif? Should maybe gif so that you can't see the fingers for that split second?

Btw, this Goto and Nagata match from the NJ Cup is pretty rad.

 

[Data West]

I've seen banners in the crowd at DDT events, but they're few and far between. I think it's more 'don't do this' thing than a 'this is banned' thing

 

[Xater]

Gonna drive to Oberhausen now for some wXw 16 Carat Gold action. Should be good show.

Someone really needs to tell Hulk how to twitter.

Spoiler

That's Madeline McCann, by the way.

 

[Kaladin]

That tweet is why we can't have nice things.

That's not Hulk's fault, I didn't know the name or story either.

Ok, that is beyond douche. Can't blame the Hulkster for not knowing ..

 

[Bowser]

Ugh, forgot about the Summerslam presale. Hopefully they saved some good seats for the general sale date. Can't find 2 together so I'm gonna have to try next Saturday.

 

[BoboBrazil]

That's painfully desperate. Reminds me of when Punk left WWE.

What's really desperate is TNA getting their entire roster to flood twitter with impact play by play while their show is going on. I'm getting ready to unfollow everyone in that company because it is so damn annoying.

So apparently you can complete the WWE 2k15 My Career mode. I won the WWE Championship for a second time and it fast forwarded through the rest of my career to my retirement match where I choose to pass the torch on to some new CAW named Flash Silva.

By that point my character made jobbers out of everyone and I was ready to end it.

Took me about 25 hours of gameplay.
