Why wouldn't two racist pieces of shit hire an another racist piece of shit? If they can get a Japanese writer, we've got another Axis of Evil on our hands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdangerously Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Maybe Brie? Less chance of getting dragon suplexed off the top rope and onto your head in a match against Cody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less chance of getting dragon suplexed off the top rope and onto your head in a match against Cody. But Cody might land on your head while doing Cross Rhodes because every time he does the move it looks awkward AF and he often ends up landing almost skull-to-skull on it. Cody needs a better flash finisher. When Reno hits his finisher smoother than you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Someone can correct me on this but if Cody is putting up at least some of the money for this "All In" show, has been teasing a match between himself and Daniel Bryan for months now, and has likely talked to Bryan about this, is there anything to stop WWE from claiming tampering and putting things in legal limbo until that show has passed? When it was a theoretical ROH-only show it seemed like it'd be harder to argue (although I think WWE might have tried it due to the trouble ROH gave them over Cole and Fish and the other guy) as Cody is just an employee but if Cody is now in essence the promoter... that feels like a potential legal problem.

If you start with Omega/Bryan where do you go from there? If you do Cody/Bryan you have a big match in it being Bryan's return then you run another big match in Bryan/Omega. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually an excellent point, especially considering the hassle over Cole/Fish/O'Reilly. If anything, it's already gotten WWE's attention because of that.

Bustronaut Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Jerry McDevitt vs. Sinclair's Lawyers is a helluva lot more interesting than any match either fed could ever put on. Whomever wins, we all lose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whomever wins, we all lose. The only thing I can all but guarantee is Vince would book Bryan in some kind of non-match match to destroy said hype. Like how he booked that Orton vs Flair fight on Raw post retirement - it stops anyone else getting that "return to the ring" selling point. Course at this point I'm reasonably confident it's Bryan vs Shane at Mania. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevendaughters Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 never heard of Mark Lewin, does that mean he's more famous in Australia than Australia's Favourite Wrestler Will Ospreay? Pleased for Suzuki, his career could so easily have been viewed in a harsher light - never the top guy in UWF, Pancrase was pioneering but never took off like PRIDE or UFC, Triple Crown holder when it was less valued - but stylistically diverse, incredible character, longevity, quietly inspirational too with his fashion empire and his obvious deep love of Takayama and One Piece, etc. also still has his marbles and a working body - perhaps someone you could hold up to a lot of rookies today as an actual role model. no qualms with any of the ones going in. just would have had Tamura in too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should read Gary Hart's book. Lewin has lived an interesting life to say the least and is like the Gary Oldman of pro-wrestling. Would change his look and persona completely over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega has been wrestling for almost 18 years, and I’m sure it has nothing to do with Meltzer rating three of his matches better than anything Kobashi or Kawada did. And he’s a draw in Japan/US, so... there ya go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
