    NJPW G1 2019

    in JAPAN

    Posted

    Yano/Ishii was so, so good. Ishii continues to be the MVP of the whole damn thing and really deserves the NJPW equivalent of the Hall of Pain run one day where he levels up and kills everyone clean as a sheet for 6 months.

    I forget where I asked this before, but why hasn't WWE shown interest in Toro Yano? Okada he is not, but his character work is great, he's always entertaining as hell. I feel like he's what Vince *thinks* Nakamura is and could embrace a comedy Tajari or Kenzo Suzuki-like character. 

    Also Doink was getting some love near the end of last month. Rumble 93 in Sacramento was my first live show EVER. Doink vs. Jim Powers was the opening dark match before I knew what a dark match was. I walked to my seats so confused, as this was NOT a match Sean Mooney had brought up on event center. Doink won with his awkward looking calf submission. I feel like that move was associated as his finisher for a quick minute, but don't ever recall seeing him use it on TV, and have seen it MAYBE once or twice since then, ever.  

    I read this too quickly and inferred that you were suggesting that Vince hire Yano and put him in the Doink costume.

    ...which is the best idea I’ve heard in a long time.

    Or left a Crow between him and the door.

     

    Joker Sting was money. It’s disappointing but possibly not surprising that WWE Sting was the worst Sting. That 2K Sports commercial “got” Sting more than the actual company did. And, you know, him just being older and unable to do much.

    The Fiend Remembers SDL - 7/23/2019

    I think Orton does feel fresh-ish as a challenger and there’s a lot of history here to pull from between both of them and with Orton’s last couple of years of non-involvement.

    It just sucks that Rollins/Brock is the other match. Both of these feels like hour 1 or hour 2 title matches while the $realmainevent tops the show. 

    Its a good year for a Rock match or something.

    I miss when WWE returned to MSG every two years: WrestleMania X, Survivor Series 1996, SummerSlam 1998, Royal Rumble 2000 and Survivor Series 2002. I also miss the distinctive entrance in the stands. Shame that's not used now.

    Arena standardization sucks. As a relatively (last decade) new MSG attendee, I can’t tell you how disappointed I was to walk in and discover that it....looks just like every other arena in the country.

    I get the reason behind it, but I wish arenas would take a cue from baseball and get some character back.

    Annoyed it took so long for Christian to win a world title in WWE and how short it was. Second reign as well. The WWE Championship is the world title you want to win in WWE. Christian is overdue a WWE Hall of Fame induction as well.

    The reunion show now makes a lot more sense to me seeing that it’s in Tampa. Wrestlers living in Tampa is as wrestling as staying at the Marriott and working out at Golds

    Video: John Cena throws Edge into the Long Island Sound - WWE RAW, August 21, 2006

     

    This reminds me of that one hardcore match where I can’t think of the wrestlers involved, but one threw the other into the Gulf of Mexico and the announcers sold it as this disgusting thing. I mean Panama City is disgusting for other reasons but the water in that area is gorgeous. i thought that was strange as hell.

    What is the point of NXT and NXT UK creative if that’s not your bench for when things go bad?

    This would be like the Yankees having Judge and Stanton go down and instead of calling up the prospects from the minors they sign Bernie Williams and A-Rod.

    Actually, WWE’s decision with this exactly mirrors their decisions with main event talent for the last decade in recycling past headliners for a stop-gap solution.

    Not sure about the analogy. This is management, not the talent. How much more often did Lenny Wilkins or Don Nelson get jobs vice an NBA coach being called up from NCAA or (now) the G League? It’s more the norm than the exception IMO.

    I don't remember ECW booking well enough to comment, but the year of Ohio Valley Wrestling Heyman booked (2005-06) is one of my favorite things in wrestling evar.  He also booked SD right after that, didn't he.

    Granted, that was 10+ years ago.  I kinda wonder if the business hasn't passed him by.

    Less sure about Bischoff.  He didn't really have a second act in him as a wrestling booker/promoter.

    Well, Heyman is only 4 years older than Hunter and 3 years older than Gedo, who are widely regarded as the better current wrestling show runners. I think risk of being out of touch is minimal? I dunno.
