[Purotopia General Discussion: 2016 Edition]

 

I posted this in the general discussion thread, but it might be more appropriate here:

 

While we're talking about Ambrose's rebound lariat.  Who was the guy in Zero-One that would take a whip into the ropes, fly thru them, hang on to the bottom rope and somehow fling himself back in.  And is there a video clip somewhere.

 

Hidaka Ikuto I think fits the description. Now I let you check his tributes to find the move, but he does it in most of his match anyway.

 

 

That's him, it seems every video I watch they manage to pan the camera away when he does it.

Paige obviously had a concussion going into the Elimination Chamber title match:

 

 

She thinks she's at karaoke.

I have no idea what Chigusa is doing, but she says she's gonna pick an American wrestler to work with her in Marvelous.  Here are the candidates:

Did I miss the Vaudevillians' face turn?

 

Those guys have been getting face pops almost from the time they debuted.  If those people down there knew how to pronounce "debonnaire", they'd be aping their intro like the New Age Outlaws had returned.

So is this Japan show an actual NXT show or just Owens and Balor working a main roster tour? I assume this was originally going to be Itami's match.

 

They've been pimping Kevin Owens in Japan as a star attraction even before he showed up on RAW.  Is having this match in Japan a way to get the belt off Owens while "nobody's watching"?  Of course, people will be watching but how many times did the NWA belt change hands in Japan?

I am still not sure why they thought that was a good idea.

 

Of course - I am still glad they did it.

 

I am a terrible person.

 

You should be ready for anything when you're in.....THE IMPACT ZONE.

Maybe they need a developmental for NXT.  Maybe set up some mats at the gym at Seminole High School on Tuesday nights and the wrestlers can go work on their promos in the audio-visual room in the library.

I can't believe there are actually people that think that Sheamus' pod malfunction was legit.  (not here but other places) Maybe this is an indictment of the commentary crew (right, JR) because they never mentioned (I don't think) that Sheamus purposely locked himself in so that he could jump out when everybody else was beaten down.

I think Paige got legit injured early in the match, just something seemed wrong with her after an early spot I can't remember.  And it only got worse from there.

 

For a second, I thought we were gonna see a jealous Roman turn heel because he was the only Shield member to not be champ.  I fantasy booked with a buddy of mine a few weeks ago that Dean Ambrose just steals the title belt and starts calling himself champ.  And just for fun, he steals all the other belts.  And he runs around looking like Ultimo Dragon with oodles of belts surrounding him.  At least we got part of that.

Rossy Ogawa has announced that Yoshiko is retiring.  She will speak to the crowd at the 6/14 Stardom event.  Retirements in wrestling as we all know mean nothing, she is still so young, it really just depends on if she has completely lost the passion for it.

 

If I had to bet, and I love to gamble, I would say that she comes back at some point.  Sooner than later.

So what's the deal with Sasha Banks? Some are saying she has a shoulder injury and some say that she just didn't do the latest taping cause she went to the hospital with her boyfriend who got injured. I'm gonna lose my shit if it turns out she has the same injury as Itami and Zayn.

This is absolutely crushing news. Not the injury, finding out she has a boyfriend.

 

 

Not just a boyfriend, they are engaged.  And it's this guy:
