    To bring up a meme from the past... Winner winner, chicken dinner. Three notes... -As so many of us fans of western wrestling, this was the PERFECT time to put the belt back on Okada. It's the tried and true formula to strap the belt back on the GOAT and see how long Okada can keep the momentum...

    Damn, did I enjoy Dominion. I was watching the G1 2019 with a casual buddy and I always said man, Shingo's the shit, but I totally get what they're doing. As great as he is there's just so much talent, they're buidling up Naito for the double title, building up Jay White and Moxley's debuted...

    When I got into wrestling (later than most, but still 12 years ago), one of the first things I couldn't understand is why the WWE US/IC titles existed. When you're a champion, that means you're the best at a certain thing. Best wrestler, best female wrestler, best tag team, best cruiserweight...

    I'd love to point out how great it is to FINALLY see a mid card championship get retired. Thanks for the memories, IWGP IC title. But it's for your own good. Hopefully this starts a trend.

    Quick non-spoiler, Day 2 was a lot of fun, though may go down as one of the weaker days in the G1 with 3 three star matches if you go by that. Roughly 3 matches felt like basic baby face/heel stuff, but the styles of everyone was so different that they felt very fresh. I LOVE how the matches -...

    Here's your friendly reminder that Toru Yano deserves a world title shot. PUMPED FOR THE G1

    That's actually a good point. AEW have exclusive contracts for American companies, but Khan allows and even endorses the talent to work internationally. To make up for the lack of house show revenue. So you're going to allow NJPW to use your talent but you won't use there's? (Though they are...

    ROH has clearly plateaued as the distant #3 right now, so both sides got a lot out of the deal. ROH got star power, and NJPW learned a lot about how to appeal to US fans. But I'm wondering what benefit there is to either side for an AEW/NJPW partnership. Both sides seem like they'll be just...

    What about Ospreay? This would be an amazing year for a surprise winner like that. If it's a repeat the B-Block is looking a little thin, and Naito's story is still too great, especially if he keeps his promise to beat Okada at WK AS IC champ

    Block A: Okada, Tanahashi, Ibushi, ZSJ, KENTA, Evil, Sanada, Fale, Ospreay, Archer Block B: Naito, Ishii, Yano, Juice, Goto, White, Cobb, Takagi, Taichi, Moxley Let's do this! :win:

    What could be great for the sales is the G1 card. This field is looking insane. I saw a report about possibly moving it to 24 competitors (which I doubt, but.) Okada, Tanahashi, Naito, Ibushi, White, Makabe, Goto, Ishii, Yano, Yoshi-Hashi, Fale, Sanada, Evil, Juice, Suzuki, Sabre Jr. Then you...

    I don't know though. Having G1 ticket sales so low (wish I could go!) does kinda shine a spotlight as to why this is a thing. NJPW struggles with the US to an extent, the Supercard wouldn't have done nearly as well without NJPW, it's too beneficial to both parties to let it go... I wonder how...

    What's the card for Dominion? Caught the last two bouts from BoSJ Finals and should go back to see Jay White vs Tanahashi. No spoilers but that was a damn fun hour of wrasslin

    Unpopular Opinion: He isn't the marketing genius he is, but if you're really trying to draw the States, Juice might be a better top guy for US shows than Cody... To get chewed up and spit out in a way that nobody saw any potential in you in NXT, to going to New Japan and being a very solid guy...

    Winner winner, chicken dinner. Man isn't it great in 2019 to be saying "This show's gonna be great!" and know there isn't too much to analyze? Like I could rip apart Okada vs Jay White and talk about how I don't care about the storyline, but at the end of the day I'm sure to forget it anyway...

    Bingo. My main fear is for NJPW. As much as they'll just rebound, just like they rebounded from losing Styles and Nakamura by letting Naito and Omega fill their shoes, it just feels like the wrestling business as a whole needs all these guys to keep doing everything they're doing, from All In...

    The whole Jay White thing is so weird to me, watching White vs Hiroshi Tanahashi is why I don't do star ratings, the first 10 minutes of Jay having control was boring as piss but even at 41 Tanahashi comebacks always make me feel like a kid again, so no rating feels right lol. But they've put...
