I think the problem with the Nak Ziggler match is less we know he is phoning it in. More, if someone doesnt watch NXT (or NJPW etc) what would they think of him from this match. He didnt look good in it at all.

 

[Bluekaveli]

All of you are beneath the bluerahaja!

I'll definitely sing Kyona's praises and prior to her injury Momo was accelerating impressively(check out Kyona vs Momo from the last day of last year's 5 star grand prix, if you haven't already).

As for Hana as well as Kagetsu, Konami, Hiroyo Matsumoto, they're all just freelancing. As a result, not much happens with most of them ultimately. I'd feel a lot better about their prospects if they just signed some people, whether it be folding in the existing freelancers or finding others. Pickings are slim though.

It'd be nice if Rossy would stop being so stingy with cross promotional work. He needs to play nice with Satomura and do more work with Sendai. Or Ice Ribbon. Or bring in Hikaru Shida and Syuri. Something.

I think they'll almost certainly have to change up the way they do business in order to build themselves back up, but I have faith that they'll be able to do it. And I think Mayu has been exceptional enough recently that she can carry the company while they do that rebuild.

Her match with Io will be worth the sub price alone. That has MOTY potential.

BREAKING: Impact's Ed Nordholm has emailed the wrestling media with Hardy contract terms for IP and supposed communication between parties.

@ryansatin

I'll write the story as fast as I possibly can, but it's gonna take me a little bit to write everything and prepare the post.

Things are about to happen.

 

[Into the Light]

That Nakamura GIF is so funny.

 

[Nocturnowl]

All of this kerfuffle for an inevitably watered down version of Broken Matt, prove me wrong WWE.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Things are about to happen.

Ryan is the man.

Randy Orton side plates off now i wait for wwe to sell Jinder ones.

 

[Heroman]

Remember when Nakamura was one of the best wreslter on eatth?

 

[serenewarfare]

Remember when Nakamura was one of the best wreslter on eatth?

Yeah, I remember January and April.

;_;

Booking him as sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, bomaye is a dumb idea.

 

[Foggy]

Yeah, I remember January and April.

Yeah even if that was defensible, that's all on Roode. He could have had those matches with any warm body in NXT. Nak brought nothing.

 

[serenewarfare]

Nah, Nakamura's selling was fantastic in those matches. He was a part of that. You don't have matches that good because of one guy.

 

[Heroman]

Yeah, I remember January and April.

What happened in January April?

 

[somedevil]

What happened in January April?

His matches with Roode. The ones Meltzer gave 4.5 and 4.25 stars too.

 

[serenewarfare]

What happened in January April?

He had two really great main event matches with Roode. Every bit as good as a lot of his Japan matches (but not as good as the peak).

 

[Nocturnowl]

I've honestly found WWE Nak to be underwhelming but his match with Roode where he dropped the tile was pretty great.

 

[JohnDrake]

Time for the Maharaja show.

 

[Foggy]

Every bit as good as a lot of his Japan multi-man tag matches (but not as good as the peak).

.

 

[TheStruggler]

DONT HINDER MY JINDER

 

[serenewarfare]

.

No, it was as good as a lot of his singles matches. Not his best, but a lot of them.

 

[Heroman]

Yeah, naw, those match we're good but probably wouldn't be in top 10 or 20 nak matches. At no point in those matches did I go wow Nakamura is on of the best wreslter in the world.

 

[Sinatar]

It's 28 degrees celsius right now guys. I think I'm going to die.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Did they just show a quote from an Indian publication?

 

[Tagyhag]

They're really into their news.

Also, lol at that BRRRRRRR that's like in every movie trailer.

 

[Beefy]

Jinder got security.

 

[Bluekaveli]

IT'S TIME!

 

[TheStruggler]

jesus because of last nights tragedy you think you wouldnt open the show with alarms people

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

This is amazing.

 

[blackaroni]

This is beautiful.

Dat suit :wow:

 

[Officerrob]

Why are they pretending like they could hear the sirens inside the arena?

 

[serenewarfare]

Yeah, naw, those match we're good but probably wouldn't be in top 10 or 20 nak matches. At no point in those matches did I go wow Nakamura is on of the best wreslter in the world.

I think they were. He was working a different style, but just purely from a match quality standpoint, they were just as good as a whole.

 

[Tagyhag]

Jinder's suit game is always ON POINT.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Jinder stepping out that limo looking like he could smell shit on the wind.

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[Bluekaveli]

Punjabi celebration. Ahhh Shiiiiiiiiiet

 

[Officerrob]

Umm, he's just standing there making faces?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

There were USA chants when he got out of the limo.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

The matches with Roode were good but were far from "this is one of the best wrestlers in the world". It was far from his best matches.

On the other hand WWE is presented a lot differently to NJPW and that difference in presentation could colour how much one enjoys a match.

 

[TheStruggler]

Umm, he's just standing there making faces?

thats what you call "drink it in mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"

 

[broz0rs]

Mahal is such a 80's throwback ethnic heel. His scowl is like Sgt. Slaughter's chin raise.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Orton is going to lose at MITB.

 

[Officerrob]

Nobody wants to see that

That and arguing with people on the internet leads to outlandish statements

 

[serenewarfare]

Wait, didn't they already announce the rematch for June 13th?

 

[TheStruggler]

Mahal is such a 80's throwback ethnic heel. His scowl is like Sgt. Slaughter's chin raise.

thas why I love it, he knows what he is doing and has massive heat already. When was the last time the WWE had a TRUE HEEL for a champion?
