This is a good opportunity for Bret to learn from the best.
Time to say again that it's unbelievable WWE never did a main roster PPV in the UK since the network launched.
Too many grapple fans there, not enough sports entertainment fans.
We all thought WWE and AEW was gonna be the new wrestling war, when really it's gonna be AEW vs NJPW.
Tony Khan finna challenge Harold Meij to a SHOOT match.
I got some free Roman Reign socks from a Fox event here in Denver.
Gonna rock these at the gym. Big Dawg status.

Yea I saw this yesterday. He may tie with EC3 as the saddest
Please represent John Cena and the true Big Dog.
Or at least Ryback.
I love Rusev, but I don't think he's going to be a breakout star if he went independent. I love you RuRu but you gotta remain a joke.
Dude is a fantastic wrestler. He'll be fine.
I'm more worried about Shawn Spears being dead weight in AEW.
You need to be more than a fantastic wrestler imho
and honestly I feel his ring work is simply serviceable. his character is where he shines
Spears on the other hand is a junk wrassler and personality
Battle Royale would be even dumber than having a one-night tournament at All Out.
Just wait until TV starts to have a tournament.
Too late now lol, their uk numbers are about to drastic go down.
If he doesn't actually bother to reinvent himself, he's fucked.
Wearing new tights and getting a haircut while still coasting on the ten hand sign fan pops isn't going to cut it in the long term.
Yeah, he had a real opportunity to reinvent himself on some level, but he clung to the old shit, so I don't have much faith.
he coulda upgraded to 100
Hes been on most episodes for the longest time now. No idea why they dont just put the IC title on him if they're not going to put finn on.
Dave attributed it to his push, his main roster salary, and his relationship with Charlotte
"bury him so deep it'll take future archaeologists to find him."
Reika's so cool
Also she mentioned she's coming to Chicago next month, I guess some Anime Con is having her Deadlift Lolita thing lol
Imagine hating the fact that your favorite wrestler potentially signed a new deal with a company you don't like, that you take it out on said wrestlers kid.
Context: There are unsubstantiated rumors that Asuka may have signed a new deal with WWE back in 2018. It would provide financial stability and security for her family. Keep in mind AEW was still very much an unproven asset at the time, and the indies are always risky (financially) when it comes to women's wrestling.

Oh no, it's clear. I mean what applicability does it have here?
Isn't it a regular event in this thread to post opinions on wrasslin' from some randos elsewhere to tut at?
It's showing that the wrestling fanbase is pretty terrible at times and somehow reaches new lows every so often. The guy went on to try and backtrack and say he hates ALL generational wrestlers because "they all get rocket pushes and all the chances in the world".
Please ignore Ted DiBiase Jr, Manu, Cody Rhodes (while in WWE), Curtis Axel, Bo Dallas, and Bray Wyatt.
Amazing that a number of twitter tastemaker types were all "ugh, britwres trash in mah precious DDT", when Brooke's involvement only seems to have sparked a ton of interest.
Anywho, watched some TJPW. My faves are Misao & Saki-sama because they have THE LOOK. Also, impressed with Shoko & Natsumi. Oh, and what happened to Nodoka?! I miss the cute little song and dance bit.

wrassle twitter and the ability to embed it was a mistake
Misao #1
Nodoka changed her gimmick because she wasn't really happy with the children's host thing. If I'm not mistaken, it was given to her and she wanted a character of her own that she thought was cool
I really like the look of it but I definitely miss the Ping Pong Pang. Seems like the ninja sisters are going to start feuding with Saki/Misao and all of the Misao/Nodoka stuff has been great
If you aren't aware, Misao was actually a gimmick change too. She used to be Hyper Misao, a Yano-esque superhero character (her match with Jun Kasai last year was delightful) but she gave into the darkside and has become the best thing in the company at the moment
Nodoka changed her gimmick to something that's more like herself.
She wanted to challenge herself and make sure people don't just like her because of her singing and dance gimmick.
Takagi gave her the character in order to bring more kids into TJPW (which didn't work either, lol).
