On the subject of "just watch old poo poo", I was scrolling through Youtube TV and found something that was airing New Japan Pro Wrestling. I thought, oh hey, maybe it's airing some stuff from this year, might be good. So I turn it on and it's a G1 show from 2014 that has AJ Styles vs. Minoru Suzuki, Tenzan vs. Goto and Nakamura vs. Ishii. Pretty loving good.

dromal phrenia posted:is DDT good? i feel like DDT might be good DDT's an acquired taste. It's a true variety show so there's bound to be stuff you either don't like or really love on each card. There's a good amount of bullshit, but it never ever expects you take it's bullshit seriously and it almost never touches the main event or the world title. I always recommend the 4 hour Takeshita champ matches comp they put up on youtube if you want a taste of workrate DDT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQMu5xQU5iw Some the wacky/creative stuff people have differing opinions on but made DDT's reputation: Lego Deathmatch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11b-aRxL7NE The Don't Break The Light Tube Death Match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSrH4TuKq1I Their street fights in any and all locations (here's one in the Tokyo Dome with Suzuki), always expect gnarly bumps in these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGPp94whB3k and here's some of the prime bullshit that people hate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiUO3lmKje0

DDT employs Kazuki Hirata who is the best comedy wrestler in the world, man has been saddled with so many dumbshit stipulation matches yet consistently manages to pull gold from the stone

Sometimes wrestlers will wrestle somewhere and then they’ll leave and wrestle somewhere else when it’s time for places to freshen up. WOW what a take. Wrestling commentary is the drizzling shits.

jericho needs to shut the gently caress up. one of the best couple of weeks of television in the company's history and once again all anyone is talking about again is loving brawl out. tony should just cut ties with anyone who wants to draw out the brawl out / punk drama any further. jericho, the bucks and allies/nepo hires, jack perry, and anyone else can go to the fed and do a heavily scripted remake version of the conflict with cm punk about it if they're so mad and can't get over it. the C2 happened in spite of all of the dummies involved in the ongoing re-litigation of that drama, not because of them. look at all the people who worked their rear end off in the C2. there's your foundation of AEW going forward. the BCC, RUSH, Swerve, Brody King, Jay White, Andrade, DG, Eddie, Jay Briscoe: give em all raises and anyone else who wants to keep embarrassing the company can go!

In fairness to Jericho, Cornette's dumbass lawyer is the one raising a stink about it. Jericho should probably just keep it to himself but even I'm getting kind of annoyed watching Cornette-adjacent morons go on and on and on about this poo poo trying to score points against AEW while everybody from AEW has just kept their mouths shut for a year and a half.

Yeah Jericho is just saying "If you don't tell the truth about Brawl Out I'm not under an NDA either" which tracks from what reporting there's been about the situation. Punk's NDA not covering Hangman specifically is what springs to mind.

Gumball Gumption posted:I don't think a lifetime contract with Shibata is a very good idea. So what, he's 65, can't wrestle, and you're still paying him? Sounds like a scam While he couldn't wrestle he was doing a bang up job training young lions at the LA Dojo, Id imagine thats a big part of wanting him long term.

Skulker posted:I'm a messy bitch who loves drama but finds Twitter unworkable so I'd love to hear what's happened. Punk’s lawyer said the only person who saw brawl out and isn’t subject to an NDA was Ace Steel’s wife and maybe someday she’d tell everyone the real story, Jericho chimed in to say he wasn’t under any NDA either and he also saw it. Lawyer told him to go check his contract or whatever and Jericho did a big wordy response telling him to get hosed and hinted that what he saw (and so what he’d be able to say since he’s apparently not under an NDA) was bad for Punk and co.

And I'm inclined to believe Jericho, because if Ace Steel's wife had anything relevant to say that made the situation look like anything besides "Punk lured these guys into an ambush and then tried to beat the gently caress out of them.", we would've heard it by now. We know Jericho saw it, you can see him at the All Out press scrum saying "Some poo poo went down." to Tony Khan, meaning it had all already happened before Jericho sat down.

JUNGLE BOY posted:it just doesn’t really matter at this point and is once again just embarrassing the company with 18 month old drama It matters in that Punk and Co are still interested in preserving the appearance that he's somehow more legit than Bucks and Co, despite both sides being equally authentic or not. Carnies gonna carn. I know people wanna poo poo on Jungle Boy (not JUNGLE BOY), but what he did was also as carnie as it gets. Hell, for all the talk of "it's disappointing the Bucks didn't wanna play up that angle for a big feud," Jungle Boy's actions could very well have been the same and we see how interested Punk was in exploring that. It's only a good idea to get meta and carnie if it comes from Phil, otherwise you're the problem.
