Macey Estrella > Lacey Evans

 

[excelsiorlef]

Apparently according to Metlz if Tanahashi doesn't have surgery on his injured bicep, which he probably won't because he'd be out of months and months and that'd fuck all New Japan's plans, he could end up with a permanent bicep muscle deformity... :|

 

[Angry Grimace]

It's not some exaggerated drunk gimmick or that he's a slob.

It's just that he's not at the level of the best because he doesn't put in the extra work because he doesn't care about winning the big matches.

I don't get why so many people dislike Almas's story. It's fine. And they're selling it correctly; he's set up to start winning whenever he decides he "cares."

 

[Pikma]

Had a decent one with Lacey Evans, that was better than what Aaliyah & Liv Morgan have been putting out the past few weeks.

Weeks? They've been there for at least a year and haven't improved at all

 

[Angry Grimace]

Really enjoyed Almas/Ohno. Sold the story and everything.

 

[SlipperyFishes]

Better than Nakamura's current one at least.

We are back to the NXT Nakamura version. That racial shit has been canned.

Since when?

It was there the last time he was on Smackdown.. last week

And from what I can see he had it during his entrance at the dark match last night

 

[Mengetsu]

Stevie Richards PSN Account was hacked and lays the smackdown on Sony.

They used the NXT version on the European tour and went back to the regular one this week.

Wild mass guessing: they didn't format the WWE version of Nakamura's titantron text for the house show equipment they use in Europe, so they used the existing NXT one

 

[SallyIsNow]

Metlzer just pretty much highlights how honestly sad Orton's Indy rant was.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

BoSJ night 2 let's goo!

 

[excelsiorlef]

Dude, I'm so happy with Southpaw.

It's amazing because it captures everything of that era, but we never show any wrestling. And it's so great and it just goes to show how far sports entertainment has come.

Here we are 30 years removed from it, or more, and we are able to laugh at the way things were done, especially the small-time promotions trying to keep up with 'New York', when Vince [McMahon] was doing crazy global stuff, and everyone else was falling by the wayside. It's just their crazy last ditch attempts to try to keep up with the frontrunner. And it was really fun and there's more on the way, so I'm very much looking forward to it.

More Southpaw will happen apparently according to Cena

[British Monsoon]

Volador & ACH teaming should be fun, although apparently Volador tore his shoulder during the match with Tiger Mask yesterday. Probably on that dangerous as-fuck looking Spanish Fly.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Fuck yeah Meltzer.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I really can't wait until Oka isn't a Young Lion anymore.

I love this kid

 

[British Monsoon]

I like that Kawato, the smallest of the bunch, is such an angry little bastard. Also, New Japan have got such a decent crop of young lions now, including the two out injured and three on excursion there's 10 in total! Don't think they've had that many concurrent young lion's since the early 2000's.

 

[Menome]

Weeks? They've been there for at least a year and haven't improved at all

I mean on TV, where they've been more prominent for the past month or so.

 

[miserable]

what is the main event today?

 

[British Monsoon]

Ricochet vs Ospreay.

The other block matches are Liger vs Hiromu, Dragon Lee vs Marty & TAKA vs Taichi.

 

[excelsiorlef]

what is the main event today?

Ospreay vs Ricochet

Lol they used an announcer's smartphone as a weapon

Lol Liger cosplayer in the crowd.

Fuck ACH is over

Kanemaru is so underrated

That was a fun tag match as far as Suzuki-gun tag matches go.

Desperado has much better chemistry with Kanemaru than Taichi did lol.

This next tag match though I couldn't give less of a fuck about. War Machine does nothing for me and the lesser Bullet Club is boring.

 

[miserable]

Ricochet vs Ospreay.

FLIPS!

FLIPS!

Ugh I really really find War Machine annoying and I don’t even really know why.

I thought you liked War Machine?

I cant watch BOSJ until later. Friend invited me to the pub........

Nope...


Don't think I ever did

Maybe I said something positive the very first time I saw them at Honor Rising though.. but since then meh


Ha ha ha Juice whipped his dreds into Kushida's face and Kushida sold it.

Lol Naito just whipping the IC title into the stairs. Love it.

 

[miserable]

Naito's disrespecting the belt shtick is getting old

 

[excelsiorlef]

Disagree this one was one of the best yet

 

[British Monsoon]

The IC belt's actually fucked (the leather's ruined, obviously, but bits have fallen off the faceplate as well). Wouldn't be surprised if they have Naito damn near destroy it, then whoever wins it from him introduces a new title.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Great finish to that tag match. LIJ are the best a these throw away tag matches by far.

 

[Pikma]

They disappeared for a while but they've been prominent before

I think you’re right given what they're doing right now lol.

 

[Pikma]

That young lions match was a mess hahah

 

[HazySaiyan]

Not caught up yet, which matches are worth watching from night 1? Or should I just watch the whole thing?

 

[Pikma]

Whole thing was alright, Kanemaru vs Taguchi, Scurll vs Ospreay and Tanahashi vs Dragon Lee were the highlights for me.

 

[Oldest_Ancient]

It seems I'm going to be in Kyoto on the 11th of June this year so I'm considering making the trip to Osaka for Dominion.

Has anybody been to NJPW event? If it was in the UK or US I wouldn't think twice but going to a show without knowing conversational Japanese could be a long night.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Taka's intro is the best in wrestling

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

If Kairi loses her diving elbow as the Meltz claims that's some bullshit, especially if it's because of Bayley's using it.

Mike Sanders is apparently a pre-game emcee for the Atlanta Braves now:

An above average one I'm sure...

On another note, I did not realize Mike Sanders is pushing 50, holy hell.

 

[Brian_FETO]

You can feel the electricity in the air for this highly anticipated matchup

 

[excelsiorlef]

I do love how they don't really want to fight

This is the best Taichi match ever!


They both look like they want to cry.

This is oddly entertaining

 

[Pikma]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There's very little talking on a New Japan show, you should be able to follow along fine

 

[Pikma]

This is an instant classic

 

[excelsiorlef]

This is an instant classic

I kinda love it

 

[Pikma]

As if Ospreay and Ricochet needed anymore pressure, there is no way they can surpass this

 

[excelsiorlef]

Lol that was surprisingly kinda fun. Much better than trying to have a real match.

And Taka's reaction and smile after was great lol.

 

[Pikma]

Scurll is over

 

[excelsiorlef]

Scurll is over

Woop woop

 

[Brian_FETO]
