Also: "(He) debated an idea I had for our match which ppl shouldnt cuz I don't have bad matches" doesn't do wonders for a guy with a reputation for a too-high opinion of himself. Agreed on all fronts. Just reinforces everything I've heard about Elgin. Nobody's a bigger fan of Big Mike than Big Mike. And it's not shocking that he may feel threatened by Cobb and be defensive.

Ace Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Cobb says he smells lovely, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 This point I think EVIL and SANADA are taking Block A, but I'm not sure about Block B. KES vs. EVIL/SANADA at WK seems like the best possible match up though out of what's left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 The second they announced the Elgin/Cobb tag team I (and I'd imagine a few others) though A) Cobb's gonna get over and B) It's gonna piss Mike off. What a self-defeating dumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Even before all this came out today, I thought that several of the Elgin/Cobb tags were laid out in such a way to make Cobb look like a chump and give all the shine to Elgin, which I thought was weird. But it totally makes sense in the context of Elgin walking around with his ass on his shoulders about the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendaughters Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I like Elgin and Cobb equally and think it is total bullshit that people turn over their DMs in such a manner. However LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendaughters Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 just read the broader context of those messages and if I am thinking right that is the person accusing Elgin of some kind of sexual impropriety so that's a bit more understandable, still, no need to make Jeff Cobb's life more of a pain than it is.

Read the indy thread. She's accusing one of Elgin's trainees of rape, not Elgin. Somehow, Elgin got sucked in to the situation (or, more likely, injected himself), supported the woman in publicly, then talked shit about her in private and basically hinted she was a ring rat who either deserved it or was making things up. The stuff he said in private got back to her, she made it public, and Elgin keeps taking to Twitter to make it worse. He seems kinda like a dim bulb who is in over his head.

Spritenaut 32 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Oops. Hadn't seen that tweet, My bad. Elgin needs to smash all his Twitter devices and never be heard from again. Staying away from people altogether wouldn't be a bad idea either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendaughters Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 yeah some guys should just not do the social media game, whether for gimmick or just because they can't handle it. I'm sure it's helped some indy guys get better bookings and leaking stuff to sources has some way of benefiting everyone, but there's just a time where you need to be above/away from the fans on and offline.

Raziel Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 EVIL and SANADA win Block A, just haven't watched the matches yet. Other matches announced for the finals card on Monday with a couple good Wrestle Kingdom preview tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beech27 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I only caught the main event, which was ok. Highlight was, predictably, Milano going absolutely insane for EVIL. (Peeking ahead, it looks like LIJ is gonna get their "all the belts" moment on Jan 4, doesn't it?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Well, if EVIL and SANADA win the Tag League, that frees up a match slot, since the Six Man belts won't be up. I could see LIJ walking out of WK with the Heavy, Jr, and Tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Poor, poor Bushi. I was amused that Elgin was being an asshole to War Machine during that 8-man tag. Still mad that they never invite him to go out with them, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 I just like to think that Elgin is realizing that everyone over there really likes Cobb and no one likes him. Although with LU Season 4 coming, how much time would Cobb have to work more tours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Until March or April IIRC and he sounds like he's unhappy, so he may be one of the guys that they write off after a few appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinit Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Don't they tape LU all at once? Doubt it would affect his availability for NJ tours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Yeah, that 6 way tie has me not wanting to figure out win conditions at all. They even got sneaky and made a CHAOS/LIJ 6 Man the Main Event so that we can't go by the "Main Event is the real Decider" strategy, although the last Block B match tomorrow is Ishii/Yano vs. GoD.

EVA Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Why am I not surprised Block A came down to a 3-way tie between KES, GOD, and War Machine? I guess it makes sense based on the story they've told with those teams this year, but, man, am I ready for that story to end. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if they have GOD win the finals and still somehow manage to get War Machine into the WK title match. (They were the only other team to beat KES in this, after all.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
