Any particular reason Naito isnt going to forbidden door? Or is it the usual, they dont want him/he didnt want to kinda thing. I was really hoping for a tranquilo on a pole match with Andrade or something.

Andrade isn’t allowed on the card because CMLL told NJPW no and if you can’t have a great big Ingobernables gathering then what’s the point, really

If they'd been able to do Andrade vs Ospreay as planned, OC vs Naito coulda been fun

Benne posted:King Cuerno: Now Santos Escobar in NXT. History Comes Inside! posted:Angelico is still with AEW Angelico was injured for a while with an ACL tear, then he came back for a few weeks after HFO switched to AFO. But now that AFO seems to be dissolved in favor of Ingobernables, they either don't know what to do with him or he's going to re-debut with someone else. He also just got new merch this month, so I doubt he's going anywhere. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 15:38 on Jun 26, 2022 |

sticklefifer posted:Yeah, Jack Evans sounded like he wasn't satisfied with his own work, but I'm not sure if it was just a non-renewal or if he didn't want to re-sign. Dude's always been his own worst critic. Yea, it's a shame, I watch him stream every now and again and he seems like such a chill bro. He's still taking bookings and stuff, so who knows, hopefully we'll get a TH2 reunion down the line if he and angelico stay healthy.

Jack Evans took a really bad botch bump a weekend or two back on a GCW show which resulted in him cancelling some appearances. https://twitter.com/Aregularindyfan/status/1538322834749022208 It doesn't show it, but basically Ninja Mack goes to pick him up, looks at Evans, and immediately pins him to end the match abruptly.

What muscles or training do I have to do, in order to do a Kip up?

I could never quite get it but when I was close I think it had more to do with flexibility and balance than muscles.

You could start by rolling up instead of kipping up. On your back, knees to chest, rolling from back to front and using that momentum when your feet hit the ground to stand yourself straight up. Kipping up is still very different and I can't do it, but it'll at least give you a sense of the balance you need.

Defenestrategy posted:Did..did he open his eye too much or....? He had diplopia, caused by pressure on his right eyeball from “superior oblique muscle paralysis”. Note: diplopia is the medical term for double vision. This was his second time having it taken care of, the previous time being November 2020, after working with it from May, through the summer tour (and now EVIL winning the double gold and them running with Hiromu vs EVIL before Naito coming back for Summer Struggle makes a lot more sense, does it not?), through the G1 tour, and then using the fact that he was not main eventing Power Struggle and at most was working tags on the WTL/BOSJ combo tour at the end of the year to get it taken care of. And then it came back, worse this time. He worked the Dontaku match at the beginning of last month with it, and took time off because the BOSJ tour was filling the rest of the month’s calendar so he could recuperate. As of right now New Japan is especially cautious that the most popular single wrestler in the country not irreparably gently caress up his vision by jumping right back into the fray (that first surgery? He took twenty days off. And immediately was back to working big singles matches once he got cleared) too soon. So, he doesn’t get thrown onto a card where they’ve already got Okada and Tanahashi and Moxley and Ospreay and Suzuki and OC and FTR and O-Cobb and ZSJ and just about every other major New Japan and AEW star who hasn’t managed to slam into this or that particular injury or illness wall. That said I guess he could have flown over and commiserated backstage with Kenny over how loving much it must suck to wrestle, especially the way they do, with extreme vision issues like diplopia and vertigo.

Anyone have any examples of botched 3 counts? Like a wrestler is concussed from a bad bump and then kicks out of something that was supposed to be a match ending fall?

Sandman kicked out of several counts he wasn’t supposed to during that Fans Bring The Weapons match he had with Mick in ECW when Mick accidentally hit him with a cast iron frying pan. Mick just wanted to get the gently caress out of there, but Sandman kept rolling a shoulder up because it wasn’t the planned finish, which evidently was the ONLY spot he could remember in the moment

I recall a ref got fired from the WWE because someone (my brain insists it was Miz) failed to kick out. The Hardcore title match at WM2000 is one that comes to mind too.

I just remembered the time Shane kicked out of Roman spearing him out of a top rope move. Shane was on another planet and forgot the finish.

King of the Ring 93 is a good place to see Bret in his prime and how far superior he was to mostly everything around him. If you're looking for one match his Piper match at WM8 is really good. w/Owen at Mania X. w/Mr. Perfect at Summerslam 91 w/Bulldog at Summerslam 92 Pretty much any Bret Hart match.

I haven't seen it in years but it seems like there's a huge divide on Bret vs. Owen's cage match. I remember me and my grandma loved it through and through, but I've heard a lot of people, even huge Bret fans, insist it was way too obvious and dragged out. But I really recommend it. Owen was the first heel I ever cheered for but as an adult I respect both of the Harts as all time greats. Bret/Bulldog at IYH isn't as famous as their SummerSlam match but glad to see it getting so much love. One of the earliest matches I can ever remember seeing as a child. I think my other grandmother got it on PPV. (we couldn't afford that in my house) NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Jun 27, 2022 |
