I think it's "Hold My Own", but in an old english font that really needs to be taller and wider so it isn't so squat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it. *He's got kids to feed. That's the thing about the last straw. It's always something minor. You ever see in a cartoon when a character is holding a huge pile of stuff and barely able to maintain it, then a feather or a fly or something like that lands on it and it all comes crashing down? Same principle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok cool, whatever.” He’s seemed super content to float through and I don’t hold it against him at all. Get that money. I think every NJPW guy dreams of being Yano though, Nak was just living the dream. I mean, you get to grin like an idiot, punch folks in the nuts, and be over doing comedy- that's like the cushiest wrestler job there is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the very few things that I think Dave is wrong about is hating Yano in the GHC because frankly Yano is one of the real MVP's of the tournament. Why? Not just because he has fun matches, his biggest value is being an easy night for guys who are working a very physical and demanding schedule over the duration of the tournament. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryArchieGus Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Is Chris Hero still able to go? On par with what he could do 10 years back? Smarter maybe? I've not seen this 'Kassius Ohno'.

Yeah, it's been rumored for some days and it seems to have been confirmed today. This 'Kassius Ohno' was another Florida loop favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 I saw Kassius Ohno twice with Evolve. He can still go. He definitely elevated whomever he was wrestling. Saw him vs Fabian Eichner and w/ Harlem Bravado vs AR Fox/Leon Ruff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yano and ZSJ both fill this role. A ZSJ match is fairly easy as well- just sell for 90% of it as you're getting something worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going into the long Match = good Match theory, but looks/weight have never had a big impact on Hero's in ring stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe for a sec WWE will air many pre-taped shows between now and July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Was Smackdown pre-taped? Does it really matter? Raw was live, and it was the lowest rated episode for all three hours. Live, or not, whatever is airing isn’t real pro wrestling without fans in attendance. Edited April 18, 2020 by LoneWolf&Subs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The only recent matches I saw Ohno in were on NXT UK television. He seemed passionless, and not quite able to take himself seriously. But that's the nature of NXT UK tv matches. Apparently his Progress matches were much better, but I only watch Progress when it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hero has definitely lost a step, but he's still one of the smartest wrestlers on the planet, and the extra bulk makes all those strikes look even better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
