General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

[Comrade Khan]

i also like the idea of kenny himself being in the tournament claiming he will win and not defend lol

 

[Chris]

I think Shingo is gonna be in the G1 this year as champ

 

[Chris]

Or well...Evil if he's champ too since that match happens before

 

[Comrade Khan]

i think it happens often enough doesnt it?

 

[Comrade Khan]

if they champion wins they choose their opponent ?

 

[Chris]

Yeah same with the tag leagues and stuff

 

[Chris]

Well idk how often Champions are in but when they are that's how it works

 

[Chris]

I think its most every year bc if not the champs has nothing to do for the tournaments

 

[Comrade Khan]

i think the reason they are often in it, especially as faces i guess, is it can be fodder for storylines down the road. like x pinned the champ during the g1

 

[Chris]

Yeah NJPW usually takes that seriously too, if you pin the champ even in tag matches you're unofficially in line for a future title match even if the champ loses

 

[Chris]

They Made a huge deal about Karl Fredericks eliminating Lawlor in a tag match a few weeks ago bc of it and then he got the title shot a bit later

 

[Chris]

And they made a point to say he'd get the shot against the champ even if Lawlor lost to Chris Dicksinson which was his next defense. Probably easy to keep that continuity when they film 12 weeks at a time and commentary is recorded the week of airing tho lmaoooo

 

[Comrade Khan]

SRS and PWI saying opposite things about cole beign a free agent

 

[Chris]

[Comrade Khan]
