Watched the first 5 episodes of the Mr McMahon doc so far, most of it is stuff I've already heard about but I'm such a mark for the attitude era that I still watched it happily. Looking back on it I was a teen at the time so most of the stuff where the women are degraded so badly I kinda cringe at it but I wish there was some kind of middle ground that would allow me to get back into wrestling the way I was back then. I tried with AEW but I think unless WWE does something that grabs my attention it's not gonna happen.

Do you mean you currently watch neither? Or you tried both and prefer WWE?

And Hangman vs Juice!

[Tim Budong]

that might be the best 3 way match i've watched in my entire life

and that ending is exactly what needs to be done.

Spoiler!

there was no way takeshita was gonna get any heat if he won clean. in fact, the crowd might even chant you deserve it. this was the best way to do it

[SkinnyPupp]

That was probably the best PPV I've ever seen. The worst match was maybe 3.75*

MAMA MIA!

ordered this pair of shows. That was a great showing of CANADA and wrestling. Hoping this becomes something similar to RevPro over in the UK.

aside from that, the production value for an INDIE is bonkers

[SkinnyPupp]

I saw some clips and it looked like TNA 2.0

But I'm sure that match was very good, and the production value did look great. And Mauro is back!

[Tim Budong]

unfortunate that it definitely looked like a TNA show with TNA talent lol.

but for an indie, this is as good as it gets in terms of production value.

[SkinnyPupp]

Yeah the big screen and all that makes it look like a TV presentation

As far as Japanese indies go, Marigold does a good job. They aren't owned by CyberFight, but are on Wrestle-Universe which has incredible video quality, and they have English commentary on their Korakuen shows and PPV

[Tim Budong]

wasnt the best PPV for AEW this year, still entertained.

Somewhat shocked Takeshita and Ricochet fell flat for me.

now onto Tournament season. I can see an Okada Ospreay final, but I can't call a winner here lol.

but if TK is feeling adventerous and wants to build a star, It's time to have Kyle Fletcher win the entire thing and topple Okada. FIRST TRY

[Tim Budong]

4 days straight of shows…

Kenny Omega vs Gabe Kidd was soooo fucking good.
In one match Gabe Kidd is a made man in Japan. He got the loudest reaction at new year dash.

Takeshita is now officially contracted by NJPW as well. Takeshita vs Ishii was the match of night/year for about an hour until the Kenny match. Even better than the Shingo match. And onto that point, this match felt like a proper big wrestle Kingdom match.

Bucks are in shape and totally put on their best effort in YEARS.


There’s too much to talk about lmaoooo.

What a week here

[SkinnyPupp]

Omega vs Kidd is probably the best match I've seen since Omega vs Okada Best of Three

Charlton worked himself into a shoot

[Tim Budong]

i watched the match back lmao
Charlton went full heel lmao

knowledgable guy tho, i met him last year at sumo hall haha

[SkinnyPupp]

He got himself suspended for 2 months lol

I guess he just thought he could get away with saying whatever, assuming nobody in the company pays attention to English comms?

[Tim Budong]

lmao.
saw some stuff abot corey graves as well lmao

eitherway, expecting Charlton to be back behind the desk at the Ota anniversary show in March

Pro Wrestling in 2025 is going to be wild.
1. Cena and Tanahashi retiring
2. AEW looks to be fully ready to book NJPW circa 2019 and beyond in AEW
3. Takeshita in NJPW
4. 4 Belts Mone
5. WWE growing even more by adding more international shows to thier touring
6. Saree as IWGP Champion to send Mayu packing to Rossy?

[SkinnyPupp]

So much wrestling! I just wish the AEW main event scene was better. This Death Rider stuff is not working for me. Kenny should just beat him and win the title. Edge can feud over a secondary title

Thought the whole setup for the Death Riders was to crown Darby as the champ, clearly everyone was wrong lol.

Kenny shoudl be champ, but feels like the whole scene will be surrounded by TK wanting to book NJPW. If this is the case, Ospreay should be coming out on top of this pile of main eventers

Takeshita tho... if it wasnt for Gabe Kidd, I'd say he got some very loud pops last week. lots of women screaming his name. I kind of want to see Tanahashi put the world title on him on this 1 year contract he is supposedly on.

who's edge... lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
