Is that going to be one of their themed shows? Like the Last Chance SmackDown or whatever it was called

Omega took good time off after WK, it was most of the point.
Nak also was able to step away. He had back problems but in the E it would have been 20 times worse I would say.

Someone needs to be sued for that shit.What is the gimmick? It was Matt with a wierd accent.
Did were ever sue TNA over this?
The gimmick and character rights aka Broken Matt and Brother Nero.
Each side says they own the rights so lawyers have been negotiating over it.

We'll get Broken Matt maybe.
Vince is waiting to give Jeff that super push again.

Yeah, they are advertising it as a "Triple Main Event". But it's weird because it'll also be the go-home show for MITB.
My point is that towards the end of his NJPW run, we heard a lot about AJ having back problems popping up, and he immediately went from that to a full-time WWE schedule and we haven't heard a peep about any injury problems with him.
At the very least, it suggests the style/schedule combo is no more intense on the body than NJPW.
Wasn't just him. He only recruited Hojo. Funaki recruited Shirai.

Putting up OT2 a bit early: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=237841878#post237841878
Wouldn't blame him, dude was outselling Cena before he left.
It would sound like they are deeply disappointed

WWE Network under alternate audio section
you can if you have the network. They have the show up in 7 languages.

Japanese commentary of the whole show
Didn't realize this,
Oh interesting.
When I tried to switch audio during the show it only gave me English and Spanish.

After the PPVs are over they post all the different language streams as separate videos in the "Alternate Audio" category under "In-Ring".

They probably would name it after Trish Stratus, but without the Stratusfaction. It would be best as the Woman's Classic.

I'm ready for season 2. Shoots part deux
If there are gods in the heavens or the earth then Owens will get tired of Ziggler half way through and super kick him or power bomb him and leave.

Neville should replace TJP with Dunne with him getting progressively more worried about how vicious Dunne is. Dunne wins the 205 title off of him and treats it like Naito treats the IWGP IC title.

NXT show in Manchester in a few weeks is likely cancelled. Precautionary decision.

The NJPW travel schedule isn't super tough due to far less traveled distance , and unlike WWE New Japan provides transportation. But the style is much harder on the body.

That's my point though. With NJPW, the style is harder but the schedule is easier. With WWE, the schedule is harder but the style is easier.
I think overall in terms of how healthy each is it's probably a wash.

A Bleacher Report headline? Seriously?

Oh yeah, definitely only show still shots of Jinder winning the belt. It wouldn't be fair to those who saw it live.

Please tell me they will somehow get Jinder to enter on the back of an elephant. I'll take him being carried by Big Show wearing all gray and a comical trunk on his nose.

Ohh thank goodness Nakamura is in this. It would've been classic WWE not to include him and let Owens in this.

That is probably the question of the night.

The only real option is the greatest US champion of our time RUSEV
Ziggler has videos of Vince with some of the talent or something because otherwise I just do not get it.

i can't really see rusev with the briefcase...aj would be incredible, but they will probably give it to either corbin or nakamura in an attempt to put it in the spotlight immediately without giving him an actual title before he can manage it.
It carried into the match last night....lol
I always figure you join the E when you are ready to do the settle down thing.

lol Smackdown... Maybe I'll watch in the morning if the reviews here are positive.
That's going to be interesting... If anyone is taking a big bump it'll probably be Ellsworth assuming Carmella isn't going against Naomi.
Shame Vince is still in charge.

Progress fans, Elixr Media is trying to raise money on Kickstarter for a documentary if you're interested https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/grassrootsdocu/thisisprogress-a-feature-length-documentary
"X wrestler doesn't need WWE"
If they're getting paid enough to live within their means elsewhere, do they need them?
Yeah i'm sure Kenny Omega, 33, will be able to take the NJPW beating for many years to come

This is largely up for debate as the schedule of WWE is way more demanding. Which is why we have the whole "work rate injuries" debate where guys are working more and harder, but injuries are up.
Yeah Seph made me realize that. I think it depends on how much you are actually getting paid at WWE but I completely understand why it's an attractive offer. Especially if you're a westerner who's living in Japan.
Of course, the situation is different with someone like Omega who loves Japanese stuff and hasn't settled down with a family yet.
