  1. He's more Joe HIgashi (KOF/Fatal Fury) character. and John Cena is canon in the KOF universe.
  2. I don't think Pillman has it in him. I didn't see it in MLW, I haven't seen it in AEW. He's modern day Tom Zenk with a huge helping of crappy attitude and takes. I think misting Julia instead of Pillman is a sign they're going to do something with Julia. I don't see TK fridging just to fridge.
  3. did Gordy/Steamboat ever happen anywhere? That could have been really good. And long island doesn't deserve AEW again for a long time after that crowd.
  4. It's going to be impossible for Julia not to end up appealing to that crowd. It would be tricky if they go this route, as they shouldn't copy Abadon or Alexa Bliss over in WWE. I don't think the old Kevin Sullivan stable ideas with Woman in Florida would be acceptable today either. They'll need to come up with something new. A Daffney Unger-style gimmick might work though. Everyone who was misted being corrupted in some way (I don't want Cody with Malakai in a faction though) would be nice.
  5. I love Nyla, but Hayter is a better monster heel, and so much younger. The only act I didn't care for tonight was Bunny/Penelope WWE shtick.
  6. Misterioso is a name, though mostly on NJPW USA shows. I thought he was signed to NJPW.
  7. I'm not sure if Jack Evans of 2021 can be Jack Evans. He seems to have checked out/aged out. I'll think fondly of his career, but he's well past his prime now.
  8. Rami and Steen are going to be viewed as stars related to big players in AEW- I don't think folks will have an issue with them. Gargano they might see as a money sink.
  9. I think it's the Japanese promotions as much as the people who allow for this. My experience with NJPW-USA fans was the folks who were truly fans of the product had much the same apprecation. I caught the same vibe from CHIKARA crowds as well here (or maybe it's a North Carolina indie crowd thing- I think NC crowds are genuinely nicer than most wrestling crowds) I do think it's ok to "mark out" more in Japan in general, whereas it can get you looked funny in the US. I know personally I prefer to just be a fan of the folks I like. Having a rooting interest for SZKG and the Tekkers/Despy in particular made NJPW watching a lot more fun. Made some of the nuances more fun too- Taichi/Naito being rooted so much in Taichi's jealousy and their similar personalities for example.
  10. Agreed on all of those except WOTY, which I give to Rosa.
  11. There were some weeks I enjoyed empty arena ROH more than Dynamite- and made me interested how Terminus will play out. I'm really hoping Josh Woods ends up in an ok spot, I've been high on him for years.
  12. Riho vs Britt was very good. Kingston vs Garcia was great. I enjoy Rampage a lot more than I do Dynamite.
  13. I kinda want Dark Order to break up eventually just so Silver and Reynolds can have a chance to not be slotted behind Uno and Stu.
  14. It's that which gives me a massive soft spot for Reynolds. I've kinda adopted him as my guy to cheer for, the same way I did Taichi in NJPW.
  15. I'll probably change mine in a year or two, mine is based on an old e-fed character from the mid-90s when I first got a computer and a Sega Saturn. (I've been on this board since the mid-90s in some form or another)
  16. The Inner Circle feels a bit like AEW's Dollar Store ripoff of LIJ, with Jericho as a washed-up Naito, Sammy as Hiromu , PnP as SANADA/EVIL (Yes, I know Evil betrayed and Shingo's a lot better), and Hager as a heavyweight MMA Bushi just there. Bear Country probably should be repackaged for Dynamite to be the tag goons for someone (Malakai maybe?)
  17. My top 10, with the caveat I'd have to have seen more than a few matches for them. Listing best, not most important to me, longevity of greatness that I saw being the big factor 1) Jushin LIger 2) Eddy Guerrero 3) Ricky Steamboat 4) Terry Funk 5) Arn Anderson 6) Hiroshi Tanahashi 7) Bryan Danielson ? Rey Mysterio 9) Bret Hart 10) Great Muta
  18. Vickie would surprise me, given how close she is with Nyla.
  19. Morrison really should be All Elite. He would have had a good run if he went there initially. Ryker will have a harder time finding a job than Nia Jax.
  20. Tay's going to be doing brainbusters soon. Her new gimmick should be being all cute and nice to strong style Japanese legends and stealing their moves like a succubus.
  21. If you combine Omega's in-ring influence, with him being the reason AEW was even conceived and possible as a concept- Omega is the most influential pro wrestler of the past 20 years, and I would entertain the argument he was as influential as Bret/Rock, but not Hogan.
