    Could Kazuchika Okada as the longest reigning champ be bad for business?

    Becoming a top talent in a Japanese company does not happen instantly since they are typically very hierarchy based (DDT being the rare male promotion exception that starts developing young talents in to top talents early). You have two or three years as a rookie, then a year or two on excursion...

    Could Kazuchika Okada as the longest reigning champ be bad for business?

    It definitely has the potential to become a catch 22 for them. Tanahashi is slowly but steadily slowing down. Nakamura is in the fed, Shibata is gone for the foreseeable future, Goto is seemingly the eternal gatekeeper of this generation. And there's always the risk of foreign stars like Omega...

    Would Emma Work as a Member of the Bullet Club?

    Short answer: No. Long answer: No not really. The BC is dying either way and doesn't need new members

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    Point 1. I live. Point 2. All Japan are launching their own streaming service, AJPW TV with a goal of launching it in March but there is no set date yet. It will have live streaming and the modern day stuff will be up there. The classic stuff most likely not due to all the red tape and...

    Bullet Club looking to run self promoted show in 2018

    This bit of news dropped earlier this week. The Bullet Club (The US branch, Bucks, Cody, Marty, Page) are looking at running a self produced show some time in 2018. There isn't really a timeframe for when it will take place and who will work it/collab with them on it is very much up in the air...

    The Rapid Fall Of Jinder Mahal

    interference for heels is sadly a trope that the WWE has had since the very start. Heel champions in WWE are very rarely booked to be strong. The closest to a proper strong heel was Rusev for a couple of months with the US title but even he ended up suffering from heel booking after a while.

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    The World's Strongest Tag League/Real World Tag League (both perfectly petty names) is underway in All Japan, kicking off on the 19th of November in Sapporo in front of a crowd of 2130 people. Kea/Doering, Hashimoto/Kamitani, and KAI/TAJIRI are pulling off with the early lead with 4 points each...

    Wrestle Kingdom 12 suggested as a PPV

    It is doable. I remember that Jarrett helped them get it on PPV in the states back when he was a Bullet Club member that one time and they had Jim Ross on commentary for the first time. But I don't think it made that much money because of the above mentioned timezones. So while they can do...

    The Rapid Fall Of Jinder Mahal

    It's a shame that his match with AJ was the one match that showcased the value of Jinder with a belt. He's great when he's the big bastard that smaller guys can bump off of. Makes his offence look great and makes for simple but great comeback stories. Jinder with a midcard belt doing stuff...

    Rate NXT Takeover Wargames

    His manager, Zelina debuted and basically tore into him in a promo. Asking how one of the most vicious and ingobernable men in Mexican wrestling turned into a joke. He turned heel as a result and he has been built up for this since

    Billy Corgan's NWA

    Corgan has declared an open door policy for the NWA. If a wrestler wants to challenge for the belt, or if a promotion wants to book Storm they can contact Dave Lagana who helps Corgan with this and set up a match. And Storm's next defense is set. Say hello to Jocephus Brody I remember...

    Billy Corgan's NWA

    The match is up. Was a decent little match. Nothing five star worthy but a good match bar one or two botches. Storm works very well for a 50+ year old. @Jacob Fox you nerd get in here

    James Storm Leaves Impact Wrestling

    Foreign wrestlers wrestling in Japan don't move there. They fly in for a tour and fly home afterwards. Only a select few like Omega and Quiet Storm live in Japan full time. And if Storm don't want to travel for his wrestling he got into the wrong gig to begin with.

    New Japan Pro-Wrestling General Discussion Thread

    NJPW have struck a TV deal with Discovery media to air select NJPW events (I assume the ones that usually make TV in Japan). That puts new japan on TV in around 70 million homes in India

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    Old Zen Nihon ran Korakuen today. Here are some factoids. Attendance was 1241 with Yoshitatsu challenging Joe Doering for the Triple Crown in the main event. Great number considering using a untried draw in Yoshi on top and doing it on a week day with no national holiday that meant people were...

    It has been confirmed that the Aldis vs Storm match for the world title will be up in full on the NWA youtube as soon as possible. So we will be able to watch the entire match instead of some cut up highlights. Nice
