    Omega Addresses WWE Rumors

    Whoever thought Omega was going to WWE was fucking worked. I said it before. Omega is locked in long term with new japan. Him "negotiating" a extension with them is most likely a work in itself according to multiple contacts of mine who work within the wrestling news media. New Japan is not...

    Omega Addresses WWE Rumors

    He literally just announced on Wrestling Observer Radio that he is not in the rumble, and is negotiating a new contract extension with New Japan in February

    Omega Addresses WWE Rumors

    90 % of WWE's fans have no idea who Omega is. AJ's debut was in the same city he spent 10 years working. And AJ also had a decade + of US TV presence. I don't think Kenny, who's spent close to 10 years wrestling on the Japanese independent scene would get anywhere near as big a reaction. Even...

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    Aside from the live final on February 26, the opener of the tournament (February 17) airs on Samurai on the 23rd. Regarding Nico that can be announced much closer to the actual show or even after the shows take place as they are just video on demand. I'd assume that at least one show make it...

    Attitude Era 2000

    1999 seems to be considered the overall best year of the attitude era when it comes to quality. But a lot of people do also hold 2000 highly

    I Had a Thought Today, Vince And His Money

    Yeah it is. I don't think anyone outside of the most casual fans or absolute die hards thought it was one of the biggest companies on the planet. Which it is, within its sector of entertainment. Within the world of pro wrestling it is by far the biggest and most financially successful company...

    I Had a Thought Today, Vince And His Money

    I still fail to see the purpose of this thread. That there are companies bigger than WWE? No shit.

    I Had a Thought Today, Vince And His Money

    Niche entertainment company is smaller than massive worldwide grocery chains. Who would have thought?

    TNA Might Not Be TNA For Long?

    The show has been impact for a while. Like RAW is WWE RAW it has been TNA Impact. I guess the idea is to at least make it Anthem Impact or such. Possibly going full anthem if they feel it is needed for marketing and brand value. Anthem Sports are handling all office work now. As for backstage I...

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    I do not put much weight personally into individual moves for that to be a deciding factor for me. For me ringwork is a combination of the actual wrestling, and if it matches the character. Like if I am watching a Suwama (a All Japan wrestler) match, I am not going to put a lot of weight into...

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    I'm not sure if I am making myself clear. It's the story as a whole that is important. Not the small, intricate parts of it. If I spent all my time watching wrestling going over a match move for move, looking for irregularities or ways they did not add up. I would probably start hating wrestling...

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    You might do. I don't. I'm much more interested in the stories being told and wrestlers being able to broadcast their characters and visions to the world. I like chain wrestling, but it is by no means a requirement for me to think a match is perfect. Jun Akiyama vs Katsuyori Shibata is one of...

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    That it makes me feel. That it has me invested. That it is fun to watch and well put together. That it has two performers that click and get it. I give zero fucks about amount of pinfall attempts, chain wrestling or such. I care about the story being told and if it connects with me. Some...

    Does Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega really deserve a six star rating?

    Yes I would. Because I rated it as five stars based off of what I enjoy in wrestling. How many times must I say that. There is no universal measuring stick to what makes a good wrestling match. Everyone has different things that they like in wrestling. I for one hate multiple near falls early...

    wrestlers who made it without much experience

    Cena was WWE's plan C. C. Not A. C. Heck, he probably was D. Out of the fabled OVW class he belonged to both Lesnar, Batista and Orton were prioritized higher than him. They had plans for Cena. But he was not their first choice of franchise player. That was always going to be Brock or Batista...

    Cena. The dude went from being on the brink of being fired to being the main star of Smackdown in the span of a year. FYI: Cena is not jacked beyond belief.

    Current weather

    My brother coaches a lower level hockey team (division 3 I believe). They play outdoors with a roof over the rink but no walls (those are planned to be built this summer). So lovingly they call the rink the world's biggest carport
