NikoBaltimore Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Man, talk about a pretty shitty way to end 2017 with a murder charge from Jasper and an assault/false improsonment charge dealing with Rich. Jasper's side of the story is blown out the hell because of dumping her in the water. And no way he can try the "I was scared and didn't know what to do" tactic, that just doesn't work. Rich's arrest is disheartening to read about. He was the local guy that we loved and it was always cool to see him on WWE TV. But this is a no-win situation for him and Su. If he serves time then there's it's going to be virtually impossible for him to get over that if he tries wrestling again when he gets out. And Su for some time is going to have this case hanging over her head so not sure how that's going to affect her shows going forward. But it's just a really sad situation all-around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my bae called me this morning and said that it's all over the local news in B-More. MCW's owner / money mark, Richard Caricofe, was interviewed and he made the same point that you made ala when you're in a relationship with another pro wrestler, dumb shit like this has the potential to wreck two careers for the price of one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Oh, I know, it's just that you don't get Jericho doing that a lot in WWE and when he does it's harder to hear him compared to how much more his voice projects in a Japanese audience. Jericho will drop some f bombs for sure during their match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 BTW, Lillian Garcia's podcast with Paige is worth listening to. I'm glad she sounds level headed and she acknowledged that she was in a bad place. What was really alarming was hearing about how fucked her neck is. So...she doesn't have full rotation in her neck anymore and she can't tuck her chin on bumps. She has to turn her head to the side she's able to turn her head to when taking a bump. That is just scary. I don't know how much longer she's going to be able to wrestle with her neck in that condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The microphones were always too close. It's not like Sid was shouting out his spots, but the mics picked up on every single spot he called.

Sid was not a very subtle spot caller to begin with, though, but that's what happens when you also not very keen on laying out the match with the face before it even begins.

Dewar Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 That Jericho/Omega/Callis angle was amazing. Motherfuckers might make me pay to watch a show with terrible Kevin Kelly announcing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially thought that having JR call the matches would be cool and when I was watching the show I just wound up preferring the Japanese commentary more. I think that was the case for most people.

I haven't checked local news the past couple days so I wasn't aware of the coverage. But a quick Google search pulled up a lot of local channels covering it. Considering my mom catches CBS every morning I'm surprised she didn't ask me about this yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSJ Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 It's odd , I didn't realize until just a few minutes ago just how incomplete my life is until I see COC (that's "Cranky Old Chris" for the uninitiated) Jericho vs. Kenny Omega in a NJPW ring. I can't see this being anything but a lights-out MOTYC. Jericho can still go, he may have lost half-a-step, but he's a smart enough worker to hide any deficiencies, and we know Kenny will go balls out to set the bar for the rest of the year. I am more excited about this card than any Wrestlemania ever. The only fly in the ointment would be two of the participants in the fatal four-way, and I'm a big fan of both Japanese guys who are involved in the match. I suppose that I can endure those two wacky Brits if it means that I get to see my man Naito finally wrest the title away from Okada. I actually think having Okada chase for a few months would be very good for business... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with this. He basically returned from his excursion right into the IWGP title picture, so Okada "in the wilderness"--maybe even, Gedo forbid, challenging for lesser belts--would be really compelling.

evilwaldo Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The best part of the video is Jericho calling Omega 'baka' or idiot in Japanese. Never change, Chris. Never change. I want an Alpha Club shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Leave it to Kenny Omega to make the Code Breaker look like a devastating finisher for once. Shit, even Callis took it better than most WWE guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I know the IWGP Heavyweight Title doesn’t switch hands super quick but if Naito goes over at WrestleKingdom they can book the rematch for Strong Style Evolved in March in Long Beach. And have Okada go over in Long Beach marking the first time the title changed hands on American soil. Naito’s First IWGP reign was 70 Days, if he won the title at Wrestle Kingdom and lost it at Strong Style Evolved it be an 80 reign that includes a three day run in the US in February. I think Naito should get the belt at Wrestle Kingdom just cuz how the story has been building, but Okada should regain the title as ultimately Kenny Omega needs to beat Okada for the IWGP Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I actually think Naito's getting a longish run this time around. You can give him a long run and take your time getting the belt back on Okada, while still building toward Okada/Omega 4 in the Dome next year.
