Shootmember 2 Wrasslin |OT| :Shoot from the Hip When in Heated Verbal Exchanges

Blows my mind that Shane is almost as old as my dad.

I think it's because I always saw him as an 18 year old during the attitude era and he was 30 lol.
 
oh so that was a legit shoot headbutt

in the wake of shibata I've seen more shoot headbutt spots than I did before that incident.

wrestling is really something
 
Yuu is legit ace material. A few more years and her and Chihiro Hashimoto will bring the joshi renaissance. Recognize.

i don't get it what was so great about yesterday's owens promo other than an old guy decided to take a shoot headbutt even though a much more healthier wrestler risked his life because of one not much time ago.
 
Ishii adds, “Even though Naito has support from fans, that has no affect on us, the other wrestlers. Why doesn’t he hold his head up high? Instead of that, he complains. Tossing the (Intercontinental) belt. I don’t get his thinking. Stick to your principles. He even brought the belt, which he said he didn’t want, to take a picture with his favorite baseball player. I don’t understand him.” Ishii confirmed that Naito’s reputation is dropping among the other wrestlers.

Ishii’s policy is to be committed to the match once it has been set.

Ishii adds, “It’s exciting to destroy his dream (to main event Tokyo Dome). His dream started slipping away once he called my name.”

It's not fair to take that shot at Brandon Stroud. He works on the Internet and doesn't know any better.

Sasha Banks comments on her booking were inspired by Naito

Unprofessional bellyacher imo

Wouldn't t be funny if they punished her by taking her out of Horsewomen vs. Horsewomen and replaced her with Alexa Bliss, who has made hay out of not being considered one of the Horsewomen?

And it would feed into the supposed shoot heat between Sasha and Alexa

Book it brother

The crowd was so hot for this and it looked so promising. It was the beginning of Shibata's rise to the top. How cool would it have been to have Shibata come off as NJPW's truest defender to challenge Okada? I guess we got the NEVER run against the 3rd Generation dads instead but man the potential of this original feud was so much greater.

Now NOAH is seriously struggling and Shibata...well.
 
Scary how there are now more wrestlers doing headbutt spots after what happened to Shibata. You'd think people would be careful to do it but nope, it always gets a reaction so it's there for the guaranteed pop. I'm seeing it more and more on the indies and even joshi. Flash Morgan Webster does the Goto style headbutt to the chest regularly. Even one of the girls in DDT's joshi spin-off does headbutts as a big spot now and it's so out of place from the rest of the wrestling they do. What should have been a warning for the industry instead became a move that is now more over than ever before. So more people will start doing it.

I've seen Naoya Nomura, Jake Lee, Kento, Ben K and Jimmy Susumu all do Shibata style headbutt spots since the Okada match.

I'm not really aware of any of those guys, except for Susumu perhaps, using this move in the past. Most of them (except Susumu again) are young wrestlers who are trying to move up the ladder in their respective companies. It's definitely gaining momentum as a spot that can get you a big reaction and reputation, at least in Japan.

does shane doing a stunt off the cage draw subscribers?

i thought ppv booking didn't matter because everyone has the network anyways?

does vince getting busted open hardway on smackdown draw ratings?

i thought ratings didn't matter anymore?

Yes, Shane in a HIAC match is a big draw Live, and for the entire network. Ratings have always mattered when it comes to negotiating deals for tv.

Thoughts on SIN CITY SMACKDOWN

- I actually liked Jinder's promo this week, starting off NOT doing the same old shit with exaggerated reactions from the Singh bros leading into SWERVE, the same old shit but done in a way that actually worked. Meanwhile the fans chant USA and Jinder is proven absolutely correct.
As a bonus his voice didn't sound nearly as hoarse as usual.

- Tag Team match was fire, as expected, Kofi redeeming the Kendo stick after Bliss/Bayley ruined it. Not even mad at the hot potato, this is one of those feuds where I'm digging it because both teams come across as strong and competitive and heck it's only the SD tag titles anyway, prestige ain't even there anyway.

- Women's match however....yeesh, not a strong showing when you're surrounded by the MYC stuff. I appreciated the feel good Naomi reigns but she just ain't good enough to stack up as the women's roster of WWE continues to grow. Lol as Ellsworth on a leash.

- I expected the tag match between Gabenjamin and Hype Bros to tease the break between Gable and shelton coming off last week, instead we get the tease calling back to a few months prior for the Hype Bros.
You know both teams having this angle could at least lead to a nonsense opposite team up at some point.

- Fuck Ziggler, it's almost surely leading to Roode so can we have one of these long winded segments just end with Ziggles getting beaten down at least soon?
Also don't you disrespect Bayley!

- Vinny Mac can still go, it always impresses me how effortless his mic work is.

- Owens got the rub big time there, where are you Orioto?!

- SD still carries story progression across the show weekly better than Raw even with its decline as of this year.

MYC finals musings
- For all the "Shayna better not win" fears, I think she looked real solid in that match. Kairi is good as well but perhaps isn't quite meeting my expectations, don't get me wrong she's a valid choice of tournament winner but this could've gone either way and not been a bad thing.
That said it's nice that it ain't being used as some kinda horsewoman match promotion gimmick.

- JR commentating live had me fearful, but he didn't blow it, hooray!

- Ultimately the tourney was merely good and not great but I'd love for it to make a return and it spotlighted some neat talent.

All in all a solid night of WWE branded wrassles, and look we got potential avatars for Sunny Mac!
 
I didn't watch the MYC final because my stream was just showing a black screen with audio, but I am kinda worried Kairi might be going through KENTA issues where she doesn't want to work to stiff or be a maniac because she doesn't know how it will be accepted. The MYC stuff I did watch wasn't up to what she would show in Stardom but whether that is on her or her opponent, I really don't know. I don't blame her for being nervous being given WAY more mainstream (compared to Stardom) exposure too.

I am very happy she won though and the MYC wasn't used just to set up some bullshit WM story for Steph. Things can lead to that now and whatever.

I really wish Asuka was the Shao Kahn of the MYC though, leading to a title shot with her. Asuka vs Kairi being given the all clear to do whatever they want would have been fucking amazing.

Oh Christ there's an XWA show on the Saturday too I'd normally go to, but not sure about a 4 show week...
 
I wish there was a camera mic close enough to hear what Vince was saying to Owens during the handshake.

I can only imagine it was some variation of "shoot head butt the fuck outta me."
 
Considering Vince's age and bone loss isn't it possible Owens could have cracked his skull open with that?

Its such a fucking dumb spot considering what they know about head injuries.
