Yeah, he kept getting injured but they took away the bad new barrett gimmick which people liked and gave him the king barrett gimmick which was trash.

November Wrasslin' |OT| A new meaning to the phrase Power struggle
- Thread starter Heromanz

Yeah, I enjoyed it a lot - the extended figure four spot was a great callback to their previous matches, and Tanahashi's selling was amazing that night. I went from rooting for him to win, to wishing he'd just tap so Suzuki would stop mutilating his leg.
Kind of where I was too. I hadn't felt invested in someone working a limb in a long time and then that match just totally flipped my brain around.
YarouZ is a sub-brand of DDT that runs infrequently (like once a year, maybe), and it can get uhhhhhhh...problematic.
Like they just straight up did blackface one year. English Update doesn't even bother translating the YarouZ shows, if that tells you anything.
EDIT: Okay just checked, and they've definitely stopped doing the blackface, so that's good.

Probably MMA, as that was always his goal. I guess he wants to dedicate exclusively to it again.
I would joke that "Old News Owl" could be your new Barrett-esque gimmick, but Slightconfuse and RBH already have that covered
No, this story is Ibushi's. this would again be an example of NJPW pulling the trigger too late. The time for Naito to become champ at WK was two years ago when he faced Okada after winning the G1. This is Ibushi's year, and giving it to Naito now would just be making up for a mistake they never should've made and making a new one.
Can't see it being WWE unless he's just completely given up on MMA
Hopefully NJPW. Make him Team Shibata and have him as one of the top talent of NJPWUSA.
If it was Ibushi he wouldn't have beat Okada in the G1...
And you're wrong because at that time there was still massive unfinished business between Okada and Omega, which was the feud that defined that title run, and records left to break.
They've been drawing everything from Naito's past here down to the fan vote shit. Naito was the first to declare he wanted to be double champion. The story for Naito has always been he can't beat Okada at the Dome, you need more than one for that. Okada vs Naito is the only match that hasn't been done recently.You can say Naito is going in on a losing streak but if the goal is Naito finally gets the title win at the Dome over Okada, you have to do it on Night 2 not night 1 because there's no following up on that,so he had to lose the G1, and to get him and Jay White in you basically had to do the White win because if Naito just beats White there's no reason for a rematch and you had to do the title match because White beat Naitoin the G1, which had to happen to give White something going into the finals.
Look at the options: They aren't doing White/Ibushi as a Dome main event. Naito/Ibushi has been done repreatedly this year, they aren't likely closing it with that eithe, nor are they closing with White/Okada, It's Naito/Okada
Plus ultimately it tells the story of Naito truly earning it all.
I don;t think there's some huge Ibushi story here, whereas there is like 5 years of Naito shit here.
Naito is still the most popular guy, still the one people love there.
I think NJPW's presentation camera wise is pretty ideal for wrestling, combined with some stuff from 80s wrestling like roadie runs
But I was told Kofi was a masterfully planned thing by the WWE creative
"Calm down, Becky losing to Asuka at the RR won't go to waste."
*Asuka continues to be ignored and eats shit so Charlotte gets added to the three way*
Considering how Season 4 went I don't know if I'd actually want to see Lucha Underground return but I'm glad it was around when it was. Felt like a television show about wrestling rather than a wrestling show, and I loved it for that.
Also had the best debuts. I mainly watched WWE and some NJPW when it debuted, so it introduced me to a ton of new folks
Bix is uncomfortable with the speculation that ACH is having mental health issues.... Rovert is all but saying he while also accusing Bix of asdkingg him to reveal private information that Rovert supposedly has.
Save us John Pollock
I think speculating over someones mental health over twitter posts ia pretty distasteful even for this industry.
Which was Bix's POV and then Rovert started going you don;t know what I know while also saying don't ask me to reveal what I was told in private Bix
Fucking carnies
Yet when people talk about battling their mental illness or open up how it was the crux of whatever their drama was, then peoole say they're just making excuses. It needs to be talked about, period.
There's a total difference between ACH speaking about it and everyone but ACH speaking about it
In this case both Rovert and Bix are showing why a lot of people hate the both of them. They just need to start acting like adults and move on.
I agree we should be more open about these things but it is up to the person going through it to disclose what they are going through. Wrestling fans on twitter openly speculating/gossiping about someone is not right.
Arn is a Heath Slater Fan <3
I don't even want to contemplate a human that likes Funkos and the Fiend. Truly a vile combination.
