I think the main is Trent Seven vs Wolfgang for the title in a cage.

Rest of the card from memory:

Davey Boy vs Joe Hendry (If Hendry loses, he's gone for a year, so I assume he's off to ROH)
Carmel vs Viper vs KLR for Women's Title
Lewis Girvan vs Ricochet
Joe Coffey vs Kurt Angle
Polo Promotions vs The Dudleyz for Tag Title
Ladder clusterfuck with Lionheart for Zero-G Title

I'll still be signing up for a month of ICW OD to watch (and the Jimmy Havoc deathmatch tournament)

Trent Seven what the fuck? Last time I checked I thought Coffey was being setup for the big title shot. Rest of the card looks fine. I'll probably sub to watch it as well, like I did last year. Should be an interesting watch when all is said and done.

that sounds counter productive, tell him to get a computer

A smart phone which is convenient at all times where ever you are is not counter productive.

A fan take times to share news and stories and youre unhappy how he passes them on to you?

Yeah, there's something about the spectacle of an arena show for Britwres that makes it worth checking out.

Yeah, I only really follow ICW through social media, so that was a bit out of nowhere for me too. Coffey finally beat Damo for the title a few months ago, then in true WWE tribute fashion, was immediately cashed in on by Wolfgang and the Black Label.

Seven got his title shot by Daniel Bryaning as well.

Trent is a lovely bloke and very charismatic, I'm guessing he fits in ICW very well.

Ibushi playing Tiger Mask W in the future and going after IWGP Champion Omega CONFIRMED.

We can only dream.
 
The best thing about the NOAH news is we'll perhaps see Suzuki-gun back in New Japan, although I feel the group needs freshening up a bit after the past couple of years. Most of those guys will still be on NJPW contracts, excluding Suzuki who's freelance.

A lot of talk about Shiozaki and Marufuji jumping over to NJPW with this as well. Which would be great for NJPW but dunno how that leaves NOAH.

Isn't the new owner the same money mark that ran AJPW into the ground?

Is it ever possible that NOAH could ever fold back in to AJPW or is that something that could never happen?

It's crazy how far both have fallen in the last 10-12 years.
 
Catching up with Raw, really enjoyed the opening segment with Goldberg and Rusev! Goes to WrasslinGAF to read their reactions..

I was there last night. The crowd was way into a lot of it. I did sense some crowd fatigue towards the second cruiserweight match but that's because there are too many breaks and setting up the purple ropes (tape) and such sort of sucks the fun out.

Having gone to see RAW twice this year, I've noticed booing Roman and countering his chants is part of the fun more so than just genuinely hating him. Some of you folks need to relax.

Dark match was Seth vs KO, ending in DQ because of Jericho.

Nope, Uchida was the guy Mutoh picked to run the promotion after the TARU/Hirai incident. Then a few months later Mutoh ended up selling most of his stock to Shiraishi and his group Speed Partners, who were the money marks that ran AJPW into the ground. Mutoh and Uchida left to form W-1 when Shiraishi made himself president and went batshit insane.

Way too complex of a deal to happen, I'd guess - also, with all the egos at play even if the two did merge there would probably be a lot of fallout, in terms of talent leaving, or splintering off to form their own promotions.
 
https://twitter.com/ChallengeTV/status/793392257852465152 Challenge dropped TNA because of shit ratings

TNA on Facebook spun it like they asked to be dropped due to spoilers lmfao don't buy that shit for even a heartbeat
.
It's also worth noting, Impact Wrestling is still Challenge’s highest-rated programme: the episode broadcast on October 23 drew 164,000 viewers.

Either they decided it wasn't worth the money, which there's been no indication of prior, or some contract was breached. Possibly similar deal to their one in India where they're obligated to tour?

Goddamn this makes Kingdom Hearts look sane.

At least Mutoh and Akiyama seem to be okay working together.

Stro has a Discord Channel but it's kinda dead most of the time, would any of you guys be interested in a true WrassleGAF discord? we have enough people in this community to make it work really well. I run the NHL one and it's super active eventhough we have way less people

FlammableD would you be willing to promote it in the OP if I made one?

Just did some quick reading on Wikipedia and holy shit has AJPW become a thing of the past. It's totally a different beast all together now, eh. I had no idea.

Yeah why not

It's literally not even the same promotion any more, which is nuts. And no one knows exactly who owns the back catalogue, other than it's definitely not owned by modern AJPW.

Honestly, All Japan died with Baba.

if we have a discord channel then we can go into territory that gaf rules prevent

now that's some REAL shooting I'm talking about, friends
 
What do people think the best bang for your buck streams are?

I currently subscribe to NJPW, and I was thinking I could possibly stretch to one more.

I was thinking maybe DDT when it starts in January, but I would kind of like a show that runs itself like the old 80's NWA World Championship Wrestling with fun promos (that I can understand).

Any of the streams offer anything like that?
 
Out of all the NXT retconning the main roster does, Bayley being terrified at the prospect of fighting a woman she's not only beaten clean but made tap before probably tops the list.

All that AJPW footage :(

When did NOAH get in the sad state in its now? I stopped watching NOAH not long after Misawa passed away and I'm guessing things just changed too much with Taue in charge?

Reading that KENTA was a GHC Heavyweight champion for over a year has blown my mind! I honestly don't even recognise many of the names on the AJPW and NOAH rosters looking though them.
