RIPPA Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Meltzer confirmed that Itami is at least not medically cleared which means it is 99% certain he is out of the Dusty Classic (since the next NXT tapings are tomorrow) There is no other diagnosis at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 That's ashame. I was really looking foward to the Ibushi/Itami team. I'll still be happy as long as Roderick Strong is Austin Aries partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChesterCopperpot Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 In news that will shock no-one the NXT Takeover main event has been announced as Nakamura vs Joe rematch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 They have also been very specific that the Dusty Classic will only be the Finals at Takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I was also thinking that this is probably it for Itami's career. I wasn't the only one to notice that his shoulder still looked bad since he had such limited use with that arm, and now this. This sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Itami promises he will be back by December. I don't know, if that's wishful thinking or if that's what the doctors are saying. I wonder who will replace him in the tournament. Tapings are tonight, but they knew about this longer than we did, so mabye they were able to get Tajiri or Tozawa? If they want someone, who can kick as hard as Itami, they could go with Tommy End, but that's probably too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 It could be Tozawa if he is in the states but I don't think he is I have zero problems if it is Tajiri It is possible it will be Gran Mettalik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 So SAnitY. Sawyer, Alexander, Young. What kind of dissidents come up with a cute name with caps to encompass their individual names? Maybe the guy in charge of the IRA is just named Ira? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zev Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Is Roderick Strong for sure teaming with Aries or could he be Itami's replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Z Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Still not official. They could go with my earlier half-joke proposal of Aries teasing Strong and then bringing out Elias Samson instead. Then Ibushi could actually bring in Strong as his partner, which could lead to a Aries/Strong feud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go with Roderick as Ibushi's partner, I think we'll get a Dirty Heels reunion with Aries and Roode. My personal preference is Aries & Strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 And Roode would be allowed to compete because he wasn't officially in the match with Tye and Sanity. That also works. It somehow reminds me of Diggstown, where one match didn't count because Louis Gossett Jr.'s opponent only stood on the ring apron and didn't actually get in the ring.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I don't mind Kota and TJ. I think announcing it pretty much guarantees Roderick is Aries partner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zev Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 If they're just going to bring someone that's on RAW now, why not a former tag team specialist such as...Roman Reigns. I mean, it would be yet another way to give him a push. I kid, I kid. Really, Perkins makes sense in a "replacement partner of equal or better standing" sort of way. Not like he's getting the Tough Enough's ZZ or that Yeti guy. Or the Yeh-tay from WCW for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southofheavy Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I wanna see Ibushi and Tajiri kick the toilet paper off the Yet-tay for ten minutes. Then kick Tony Schiavone a couple times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted October 13, 2016 Author Share Posted October 13, 2016 Well based on what the WWE just put on social media - pretty sure we know who Aries' partner is 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
