Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Lol Paul E. Not that there was a thing that could be said that would actually hype Big Show v. Anyone.
Sometimes I wonder if JBL is actually present or they just have 40 prerecorded sound bytes that Vince presses as necessary.

I don't think the dev ever played a Tony Hawk game.

But they made Tony Hawk Rideand Shred and botched that Hd remake of THPS1!
Making 2k16 look like a technical masterpiece here.

The screenshots are fun to laugh at and all that, but the most important part is how a Tony Hawk Pro Skater game plays and feels.
It feels terrible. It feels like it's fighting against you. The slam button feels like the police button, stopping you from having too much fun and having too many combos. I always wondered what it would feel like to play the dollar store knockoff brand version of a game. One that's clearly ripping off another. This is it. Despite having the Tony Hawk license, this is the cheapo budget no-name company's knockoff of the popular Tony Hawk games. It just came out 15 years late.
Did I mention it's online only and will kick you out of single player sessions if you lose connection? In a single player session? because I feel I should mention that.

It is a shame, I remember how much fun 3 was where you could do those insane combos that lasted like 3-4 minutes in places like Canada and LA. Going from 1080s to grinding to doing manuals and on and on.

Just watching RAW....does Becky Lynch have jaundice?
No, just a particular terrible sense of which spray tan to use.

Oh, I can use this.
This NXT Panel man.
Give Triple H the reigns of WWE Creative already. Lock Vince in his office in Stamford or something, buy out Kevin Dunn and let this guy run the show, because whenever he talks about how he runs things in NXT its exactly the opposite of how main WWE is run. He's definitely a lot more connected to what audiences want then Vince is these days.

Is this Saturday's show/ppv/WWE network exclusive a test? It feels weird.
No, they're running MSG and it's a traditional big house show, it never made sense to me they didn't record stuff like that for the Network. They did it for the big Japan show, too, and it was amazing.

Sabre Jr. already looked a little like this guy, but the gestures make the similarities even clearer:

So, Go Shiozaki says he wants to compete against his "good friend" Hiroshi Tanahashi, seems fairly obvious what he's angling for after leaving AJPW. Apparently what prompted him to leave was losing the Triple Crown and being told that Miyahara's the ace Akiyama wants to build around, not Shiozaki.

Well, at least she already has a method for us to donate for her bail / legal defense.
. Poor Sunny, was actually pulling for her.

I remember AJPW being crippled with the NOAH exodus and NOAH taking strong hold of that number 2 spot where AJPW sank really low with Toryumon/Dragon Gate cementing a solid third place.
When Misawa passed away the vanguard seemed to change again with the promotions though I never kept up with the changing landscape.

Dragon Gate, which no one ever seems to think about.
Makes a lot of sense. I know Akebono is somewhat famous and a "special attraction" but honestly I could never get into any of his matches. He genuinely looks like he's gonna die and is of course super super slow. And Miyahara is the biggest tryhard I've seen. None of his fireup spots look....good. Or real. And his look sucks. That's just me though.
I do hope we get to see Shiozaki somewhere big though, really really like the guy.
Don't hate the playa...
(I completely agree - more than anything else, it's a waste of a match that they could do on a following show, which would be showing planning, continuity and a storyline...)

Great, another guy to plug into NJPW's main event scene instead of my fave three.
Most would likely consider it to be Dragon Gate, they have a distinct enough style from NJPW to remain relevant, and have been continuing to pull in steady to sellout crowds for their shows at Kobe World Hall and Korakuen. I know they also run Sumo Hall occasionally (or at least in the past) but Boots would have to tell me how well they do there.
AJPW got a boost when the got purchased by Speed Partners, but when they booted Mutoh it caused the second exodus when he took half the roster to form Wrestle-1. AJPW has slight potential going forward with some decent talent, the problem is most are freelancers, and losing a main eventer in Shiozaki is a huge blow. As for Wrestle-1, it's a Mutoh vanity project, but man, I love me some Jun Kasai.
NOAH is essentially a subsidiary of NJPW at this point. Super Crazy confirmed in an interview that money is coming in from them and Jado has taken over the booking, not to mention Suzuki-gun is over there and Nagata and Nakanishi regularly compete over there, so while money is coming in indirectly from Bushiroad and they don't own it, they still, well, basically own it.
And back in the early 2000's, NOAH didn't just become #2, they became #1, but that's because Choshu took over the booking of NJPW and did some horrible things at Inoki's behest, like bringing in a bunch of MMA guys who were big in Japan but had no idea how to work a wrestling match like Josh Barnett and Bob Sapp, all because of STRONG STYLE SPIRIT or some shit. Much like it seems Vince McMahon would rather be a boxing promoter, Inoki would rather be an MMA promoter...and he is with IGF, which has the biggest identity crisis of any promotion I've ever seen. Also Inoki was apparently good friends with Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Il before their deaths and recently did another show in North Korea for Kim Jong Un. Oh yeah, and during an IGF show, he once beat up a guy who had a poster of the NJPW/AJPW/NOAH "All Together" event held in 2011 with all proceeds going to charity for survivors of the recent earthquake in Japan. Yes, he got pissy over his company, which I remind you, is barely a wrestling company at this point, being left out of a show for CHARITY. Oh yeah, and he ran a competing show at the same time, for profit, at Sumo Hall. All Together was a huge success, and Inoki's event bombed. In short, Inoki is a piece of shit, is completely insane, and the world will be a better place when IGF folds and he finally retires.
Meanwhile, NOAH had all the good AJPW talent so they had guys who may have been past their prime but they could still draw (Himself, Kobashi, Taue, Takayama), guys just coming into their prime (Akiyama, Rikioh, I hate to say it but Ogawa), and guys who were ready to become stars (Morishima, Sugiura, KENTA, Marufuji). The problem again came to booking. Misawa couldn't trust anybody else other than the established stars to run things, so whenever attendance went down, he quickly got the belt off of them and put it on one of his guys, or worse, himself. He was arguably working so hard of a schedule that it led to his eventual death.

Yeah I'm done. I barely got through the New Day segment. I skipped everything else. Even Heyman. Who cares? Rollins is fighting fucking Kane.
I'll always have this at least.
The NXT All-Star panel was more depressing than anything. Dusty sounded so important and everyone on the main roster is getting absolute garbage from creative. I don't understand how you can fuck up such talented, hard-working people.
Fire all the writers.

My "poor Sunny" sympy ran out a long time ago. When Candido died and she supposedly had thyroid problems, I felt for her. When you're busted fucking off driving drunk and then can't drag yourself to court, you did it to yourself.
