I have to think they want to do an invasion eventually but NOAH isn't strong enough to make it mean anything right now. By 2017 Bullet Club and Suzuki-gun could be both be dead, or nearly so.

I have a Special Edition Size M and a Macho Man Size M that are both an inch or two longer than an Authentic Wear Size L. But I also have a different Authentic Wear Size L that is longer. The Ls ran a bit tighter on me than other Ls, but the Ms are about the same as other Ms.
So you'll probably just need to try a size and return it if necessary.

Regal is an example of a guy so dope it doesn't matter that he never got that one big push that might have put him over the top.
I think it was
The best thing on it was Bayley so no, avoid at all costs.

If you need audiobook recommendations, let me know. I can recommend some non-wrestling book options.
The main event was...eventful.

Well now that's interesting. And considering Marufuji, being president, would have to sign off on Shiozaki joining...
He's gotta be going to New Japan. It's the only move that makes sense.
I can't hate on Taker for some bad recent matches. He's had some good ones recently(the punk match in particular) and while I don't like the Brock match aside from the streak ending it was one of the few moments where I was shocked in wrestling recently. I don't like how they booked him aside from that lately but in the end not much great booking has happened recently IMO. Dude's stuck by the WWE through its best and worst so I see why Vince and others show him a lot mire respect than other legends.
I don't think we'll get much from him that we consider amazing until he retires from now on. But I'd still like to see a match with Sting for the novelty.

I always forget #IndyPosterThursday! Really it's mostly #Ligero'sTwitterThursday
Or they're doing a storyline to set up Marufuji Vs Shiozaki.

Worship with the wrestlers! lol
Yeah, looked really dumb.
Apollo Crews really does seem like he has all the potential in the world to be the next big mega star. He's got tons of in-ring talent, he seems like a really good talker, and he has THE LOOK.
Honestly while Vince and most of creative still seem like a giant hurdle right now, between the talent on the current roster and alot of the NXT talent that's on the way I honestly think WWE could have a fucking great roster soon. If booked right this could be a new big age for them.
Thanks for taking the time Brother
imagine being a cop and pulling them over

I actually think it's a cool visual, so long as you don't pretend it hurts more
man Dbry looked SO GOOD with a buzzcut and a trimmed beard
Seriously, I think Vince would have probably supported pushing him a little more if he kept that look.

She wanted to make a point, man! And lord knows when you're a Diva, your point involved the announce table for some reason

The second he turned on Miz, he was SUPER over as a babyface. Like my god.
But he lost all the juice when him and Miz'd feud ended. Kind of like when Ryder won the belt.

I think there's a lot more focus on curating younger guys that most people think now than there was back in those days, especially because back then being on main event in smackdown was still being midcard. With one brand, any flirts with the main event brings you up, like how the shield have all grown. In general people who went through the NXT pipeline with some regrettable exceptions are treated with a lot more care than the midcard of late 00s early 10s.
But yeah midcard is still problematic.
i like to believe that it was because everyone realized that Riley sucked
Ryder lost all the juice because he lost the belt two weeks later and was utterly buried in that Cena/Kane feud.

That is why. Because Miz stopped making him look like a million dollars
Also true. He got hosed for some reason

It's because the fans were invested in THE MOMENT of Riley turning on Miz,not Riley himself.
The exact situation with Dibiase/Virgil. The crowd goes INSANE when Virgil turns on Dibiase. But are you gonna cheer for Virgil VS Warlord six months later?

Same with Sandow.
I disagree he would still get great reactions even after the feud. The reason he went nowhere was because he apparently pissed off Cena.
You could tell right from the beginning that they had no idea what to do with Sandow once he turned on Miz. I can't even remember the last time he showed up on tv.
No they were actually invested in Sandow

EDIT: and this was after an incredibly weak blow off match with Miz where he lost on a Raw AND after having a Wrestlemania moment that consisted of getting killed by Big Show. And he was still genuinely over. But no, he had to go back to some absolute garbage gimmick.
