    Judging by attire, from Kana Produce on 2/25/14. Kana liked doing... unusual things for her own produced shows.

    I have no problem accusing Kana of stealing this idea from me.  But I really can't prove that she had any interaction with the person I suggested it to.

    I am finally starting my dive in GAEA, wrote a brief (as brief as I get) history for the promotion the best I could. I won't start a new thread or anything for it but I plan on posting my favorite match from each show on my DM account, so I'll link that over in the Matches folders as I go. Even finding a high quality picture logo of the promotion is hard, its crazy.

    The GAEA website is still up if you haven't checked it out yet.  http://gaea-inc.com/gaeajapan/index.html

    I had to change my cable boxes, so I need to catch up on the final on demand, but yes I watched.  Wait, is the real Lolo Jones, the Lolo Jones from the olympics?  Like the virgin Lolo Jones?  Like the last person I'd expect to ever be on an MTV show, Lolo Jones?  I need to investigate.

    Yes, it's the real Lolo Jones.  But what I meant was, the Lolo Jones that doesn't usually show up on camera.  I had an ex who's sister was an Olympic hurdler.  They all hated Lolo because she got all the attention and they knew the "real" Lolo Jones wasn't the one that showed up for the cameras.  That's exactly why the British track and field chick did what she did in the first episode.  Not much Punk in episode 1 but he can't be quiet for too long.

    Since it's 6 episodes, I assume nobody's getting eliminated. 

    Well, scratch that.  Good to see the real Lolo Jones coming out for the Challenge.  And that Invasion reunion show set up a ton of teams for the next season of Rivals.

    Assuming I can get tickets, which I know is no easy feat for events like this, I'd probably make the trip down to FL for the Women's Tournament if both of them are in it, along with other wrestlers I like such as Newell and Evie. Ideally, I'd rather spend money to see Asuka vs. Io (and I probably still would if it happened), but I'd cross that bridge when I got there.

    I'm in Orlando in late July, is that when they're planning the tourney?  How many tapings were there for the CWC?

    Who wants to set the over/under on when Rossy panics and books a Seaaaadddddllllinnnng invasion?

  6. So, did anyone watch this season?  Decent enough, I think the 13-15 episodes is better than the 30 episode epics they used to run.

    Spoiler

    I was actually happy that Ashley won.  Sure, she's a nutter but fuck those other two.  My buddy and I were convinced that, win or lose, CT was going to announce that that kid he has was from Diem's egg.

    Anybody see the preview for the new season.  Since it's 6 episodes, I assume nobody's getting eliminated.  Good to see a Punk/Bananas confrontation.  I see that MTV Canada has like 20 seasons available, too.

    So basically Kevin is gonna be Dean's new best friend with all the GAEA coverage

    I once made a Best of tape of those hot GAEA years, starting when Asuka first appeared.  Don't remember who the hell I sent it to.

    That is a bit disappointing to hear. I was hoping it was good after the wonderful match where Kyona & Matsumoto won the belts.

    HZK spent way more time in the ring than Shirai.  At least it felt that way.  But even still, Shirai still did her crazy dives.

    How was Kyona/Matsumoto vs. QQ?

    It was ok, basically HZK the only straggler, I picked a bad place to sit, the config of 1st Ring is a little different from the last time I went.  It's too bad that Kyona isn't 4 inches taller or she'd have a much higher ceiling.

  10. Went to the Stardom show yesterday.  Had a debut of a new pre-teen by the name of Hanan.  She has a proto-Maekawa thing going.  Jessica Havok had a five minute squash of Natsuko. (Has she been in Japan before?) Kris and Azumi had a nice little title match.  If Io is going to WWE, she didn't slow down on her craziness.  Poor Mayu seems like she's really having trouble.  I think Oedo Tai tried to recruit her and she was teasing joining up.  It was something seeing Sumie Sakai again after all these years.

    I don't think Stardom is in that position. I would put it more as a smaller independent label that had their top acts about sign to major label deals or signed with a current streaming service like an Apple Music, Spotify, or a Tidal. They knew sooner or later that Io and Kairi's talent were too big to be unnoticed. Plus it's not a coincidence that the foreign women that have come into Stardom lately have had WWE Tryouts or worked NXT as enhancement. It has to be a make good on taking Kairi and Io on WWE's behalf. Look at Juice Robinson coming into New Japan. I haven't listened to his interview with Colt Cabana yet but someone in the Performance Center had to hook him up with New Japan management after he left cause the raid was coming. This is the just cycle. 

    I figured my analogy would be confusing but I'm trying not to be specific.  Stardom was Warner Brothers Records looking at Napster in 2000.  "In early 2001, there was a major restructure of the Warner Music Group; about 600 positions were eliminated across the three labels"  And pretty soon Stardom might have fewer wrestlers than they have belts.

    I mean there's not really anything a relatively small promotion like Stardom can do to compete with the prospects of of wrestling stardom, and potentially  high salary  that WWE offers . All Stardom could really offer Io and Kairi was guaranteed top of the card booking,  and the familiarity and safety of their home country.

    Stardom really can't afford to get in a bidding war for both of them. Theres not really much they could/can do. 

    I'll give you an analogy.  Stardom are the major record companies in 2000.  Not because they are wealthy but because they could see the future and fought it.

    Not sure what it means, but all references/photos of Io have been scrubbed from the WWE.com article.

    They saw her naked pictures and sent her back to Japan.  "WE'RE TV-PG!"

    The fact is Stardom could have controlled this whole thing but have screwed it up.  Apparently.
