Dolphman 3000 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) The main event of the NJPW show yesterday was Moxley/Homicide vs. Desperado/Jun Kasai and was really enjoyable Edited July 5, 2023 by Dolphman 3000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now magnify that when Eddie Kingston wins the ROH World Championship or AEW World Championship. Eddie Kingston should be the one to end MJF's reign of terror. 1 hour ago, AxB said: Eddy Kingston doing his best to honour DEAN~!'s legacy, by crying MANLY tears of joy. Spoiler Wow, I got a little emotional and I didn't even see the damn match! That's how much I love Kingston's character. Looks I'm gonna be watching Strong for the second time ever. And HOMICIDE being on hand for the celebration puts it right over the top. Now, as Natty alludes to: let's f'n run this scene back in NYC this fall!* *Or Hartford, or Boston - I live near the train, I ain't picky 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 So, uh, what's the significance of this belt Kingston's won? Sometimes I feel like New Japan has more titles than even AEW does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I feel like New Japan has more titles than even AEW does. That’s the belt that’s basically the top belt of the US based NJPW people used to be for the weekly NJPW Strong show but now they’ve changed the frequency of the shows and the need for the STRONG belts is kinda muddy but it’s for NJPW US shows mostly. In the grand scheme of NJPW it’s a mid or lower card belt. But for the guys who mainly work in US it’s kind of the top belt I’m sure that cleared up nothing.

Casey Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 AEW will (apparently) make its Montreal debut in December on the 5th with a Collision & ROH taping, and the 6th with a live Dynamite & taped Rampage combo. I guess supposedly Collision is being taped on Tuesday because the Montreal Canadiens have a home game on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirFozzie Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Honestly, if you don't give Kingston the title over MJF, a very long program with Jon Moxley over the NJPW Strong Openweight Championship would be nice.. maybe they can run back the barbed wire exploding ring death match, and with the same detail of Eddie covering Jon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they would rather us just forget that match ever happened but I always hoped they'd run another one just to do the ending better. Its tough as the last one was a really good match but all anyone remembers (understandably) is the botched ending. If TK had any pride he'd want to run that shit back and have a better 'moment' to put in their dynamite intros. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingobernable Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Dunno how many people here are going to All In at Wembley but I discovered today that on the 27th Kings Cross is fully shut to all trains. Will affect the east coast mainline so Peterborough, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, Edinburgh etc etc. I was planning to travel on the morning of the show so it’s threw me a little. PSA, in case it helps anyone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have a good exploding deathmatch or you can have liability insurance, but you absolutely cannot have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighting a man with a perm Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Had a random playlist on Spotify for my run today and "Ogentroost" by Amenra was on it. Made me realize that as much as I dig House of Black, there was something very special about Malakai's initial presentation that I won't be upset to see him return to if/when he goes solo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how wildly successful the run up to Sami vs Roman was, they should go back to Canada ASAP. Maybe not do as long of a tour as AEW is doing, especially with running cities too close to each other, but I don't expect AEW to do that again. I'm still absolutely puzzled who thought running Hamilton was a good idea. Isn't that Jeff Jarrett's department, scheduling the tours and live events?
