Now I want to see NBA played with roller derby rules.

Cobb I believe was taking bookings during G1, but he is booked for the CEO show in Orlando. My guess is they still like Cobb but have nothing for him right now.

Only saw the main event, and I missed the first 2-3 mins of it, but right now my hot take is that it's the best 2/3 falls title match I've ever seen, surpassing Flair/Steamboat, with equal quality wrestling, and better emotion/story. I got the feels watching it, which is very, very rare for this bitter old man.

If I was running things, I'd have a stip that said if the secondary belt holder managed to hold it x days and make x credible defenses, they automatically get a title shot within x time.

LU did this with their gift of the gods championship. You have to give 1 weeks notice to Dario (in order to "promote" the match properly) and the added stipulation of it being a championship you had to defend.

I don't think there's a lot of national money an in super-indie promotion. At least not yet. There's no way possible that the All In roster could compete with WWE at all from scratch. It could surpass ROH and Impact easily, especially if you fleshed it out with a lot of LU folks. Also you'd probably have to keep good terms with NJPW and probably CMLL. It would be a process- though I think if anyone could pull it off- it would be Cody. Would be a better waste of his money than Clash of Clans.

It's a Liger/Tana/Marty 3-way I think.

Ishimori deserves better than the Bone Soldier gimmick. I don't think he fits Bullet Club at all. Also ACH had a moment in the undercard tags.

I'm wondering what comes after this. How many of these shows a year could they do? Could they even get the talent they had, and get a promotion out of it if they really wanted to take a risk/be ambitious.

Looks like mask vs mask is gonna happen at some point.

Marty's shtick is annoying, but it's over. Sabre's glass jaw as mentioned above is why I could buy Okada winning after all the armwork. Okada's had some really good matches with the midcarders like Sabre and Sanada lately. Sabre would be well suited as a tag guy in NJPW if Suzuki-gun didn't have KES.

There are so many guys who could be face of the Division that Despy gets lost in the shuffle behind Osprey, Kushida, and Hiromu , and the Japanese crowds love the Villain shtick so Marty gets his shots ahead of Despy as well. Taichi going heavy was the best thing ever to happen to Despy.

The FGC is the pro-wrestling of E-sports. (seriously, and Kenny/Xavier has little to do with it)

Hiromu vs Despy is a must-watch and MOTY candidate for NJPW this year. Great hatefest.

I always felt Truth Martini was ok, good by today's meager manager standards.

I still remember Sid's Crippler Crossface.

Marty at least had a good rant at the press conference, and Hiromu's scrapbook was hilarious.

It's an official New Japan show, though it's gonna be a split show due to the UK that weekend. Kenny Omega competes at that event consistently. There's a lot of crossover between pro wrestling and fighting games. I know Naito, Juice, Ibushi, Hiromu, GoD, Taguchi, Jeff Cobb, Dragon Lee, Chase Owens all booked as well. 16 total forgot everywhere who is going to be there.

He's gonna be a new dad. I'm sure this is the end of Tana being any sort of main eventer.

you can win by knockout in a no DQ, if both dudes are knocked out, it's still a draw/no contest.

And the fans that would be behind that- I think most of them would rather see Rusev be fired and end up in NJPW instead.

Another factor is east coast folks can get their fix with CEO, which hasn't announced matches- but Kenny, Ibushi, and Naito are draws. Got my tickets today thanks to registering for the tourney (they gave entrants 1st shot at tickets)

The Woods/Severn match that they showed at Wrestlecade last year was really good- I think those two would have good chemistry together.

I'd give Nak a white Miho Abe who just fawns over him and treats him like a sex symbol. If they could talk, I'd have her try to make the crowd feel sexually inadequates- call them all incels or something.

They let Chase Owens in, just make him Chase's cousin.
