So the schedule's tv + ppv's but no house shows I'm guessing. I can understand why that would attract people spooked by WWE's touring.

I'm sweating buckets over here
the state of my thirst, mate.
Upcoming WWE Japan tour card lineup was posted.
Seth vs Shinsuke could be real good. Shame it won't be televised.

Which is ironic considering they love Kane and the Undertaker.
Are people really getting worked that hard by a BTE segment?
Hes not injured, guys.
PAC attacked his leg with a chair after their match in the ring. Its an angle.
Just FYI, CIMA, El Lindaman, and T--Hawk have all tweeted within the past day or so about heading to Vegas, so it looks like the whole "visa issues causing another DoN match to be changed" thing wasn't actually a thing at all. All the foreign talent (minus PAC of course) seems to be accounted for.
that rumor was about the Joshi match fwiw but Sakazaki being announced for Starrcast seems to have calmed those fears
You figure...
Page vs. PAC
Kenny vs. Jericho
Were the two matches originally meant to decide who would face off for the AEW Championship. Then the Battle Royale determined the #1 Contender for whoever won.
But then PAC is gone. If there's no Moxley at this show, then you've got no worker who can believably replace PAC and satisfy people. So instead you move Page into the Battle Royale, and he wins that to face off against Omega for the title.
Yeah but both of them are gimmicks, Al is legit into the occult and covered in tattoos reflecting it.
Here's what I see as the possibilities that could be satisfying:
- Page in the Battle Royale, surprise comes out to confront him after he wins and match is made for the main card
- Surprise in the Battle Royale, Page confronts him and match is made for the main card
- Both surprise entrant & Page in Battle Royale, inconclusive finish sets up match on the main card
Canceling PAC vs Page and then shoving Page in the battle royal as 21 and thus depriving folks of a surprise there would be some peak carny booking lol.
I question the decision to leave Moxley a surprise until the night of the show. Cool it sold out, but this high-ass PPV? Don't they want insurance on that?
Part of the fun of wrestling used to be the big surprises. Anything could happen, who could show up, etc.
Those kind of died off for the most part after the Monday Night Wars ended.
I'd rather them keep some stuff secret until the show if they have any.
Lmao at "bunch of terrible ideas" and "Vince being forced to use the least bad idea" as if he had any kind of notion of what a bad idea was and wwe creative was this bastion of brilliant ideas, 24/7 is trash but it's infinitely better than pulling a swerve in your multi man ladder main event and having a non contestant win it
I'd take that over a crowd killing Page singles match against whatever geek they could find to replace PAC
I never mentioned anything about it yesterday because I got sidelined by hotdog talk that was far more entertaining than he ever was, but lolololol Ziggler
Double lolololol that the Ziggler and Kofi forever war has revived
Triple absolute lolololol at that Extreme Rules preview indicating that he's not just a 2 week filler for Blood Money and they'll actually continue using him for at least one more PPV
I know this is well worn ground, but I was this communities resident Ziggler loather before it was cool, gotta get my belated take in.
Should I check whatever promo he cut on Smackdown is like to see if it was the usual whiny shit where he claims to be the best for like 5 minutes and you get the sense he truly believes it?
Okay now back to your more promising graps talk

Kane transcends all barriers
Agreed completely. When you have the chance to get people talking, it's dumb to play it safe with just one of your pals doing an injury angle on Youtube but being back now instead of something actually surprising. And it's not like there isn't actual surprising potential, there's 4 slots unknown in that battle royal. There's free time from a missing match now on the PPV. If Kenny wins he can always be attacked by someone because fuck having the gang all stand tall to close their show again
A full Page match against someone talented is way better than killing the hype of 21 by using Page for it
Pretty sure they're pretty low on talent tho, unless they removed someone from the battle royal? Idk
Best Friends got put in their own match and Kip Sabian and Sammy Guevara got put in their own match
That's why he'd be on the free pre-show, to get people buzzing and a bigger audience to see it than the PPV itself. A pre-show that actually means something and isn't just jobbermania.
Using Page as a surprise is a great way to make Page seem lame
Those are the kind of geeks I was talking about tho lol
(Haven't seen enough of Sabian to know if this is accurate for him too)
Doesn't matter, we'll always have our love and appreciation for the the vastly superior Adam (Cole) as common grounds.
They really should've pulled out all the stops to get a 6-man tag with the Chinese OWE guys - the casual fans who've seen clips of OWE want to see similar crazy kung-fu shit in person, instead they're getting T-Hawk, Lindaman & CIMA. And I'm sure it'll be a fine match, but it's not going to be a game changer like the Mania week DG 6-man tag in ROH back in the day.
Also, Hangman should've listened to Tanahashi.
