Im not quite sure if I understand what GFW Wrestle Kingdom 9 is going to be: is this a NJPW ppv that Jarrett is sort of producing for an American audience or are there going to be signed GFW wrestlers (lol, I know) also wrestling?

GFW isn't a real thing with employees, or wrestlers, or shows. They are just helping distribute a NJPW PPV in America.

On the real though, they should get Chael It'd get extra buys just from people getting it to hear him and he has great chemistry with JR

Mauro is such a fantastic comedy option for a comedy non-promotion. He's too perfect. Chael might actually be good.

Mauro loves NJPW and has broadcast experience calling puro and Schiavello is a clueless idiot who couldn't identify Tiger Jeet Singh, calling him a terrorist of some sort that at the NYE show where Inoki was crucified.

sigmachiev posted:You guys, the show of the year is on traditional PPV and you have the option of Japanese commentary or Jim Ross. This is so awesome. GFW just being American NJPW is loving hilarious and cool at the same time. I'm all for Jim Ross and (second dude) providing english commentary and story breakdown so I can extra enjoyment out of this.

I'll be curious if JR can match Nogami's level of poo poo losing during hype matches.

I wouldn't mind Don West on colour. JR can be the one who knows who the people are and explains things, Don can be the one who just freaks the gently caress out about how incredible everything is.

I have to say I genuinely loved Don as a manager for... I think it was Amazing Red. Dude flipped out at everything and seemed to be having a blast.

Wasn't Don West also personally responsible for really good TNA merchandise sales? You are a talented marketer if you can convince people that TNA merchandise is worth buying.

I think Don West came up with the Brown Bag Special, which was a god drat genius way to get rid of old stock they couldn't sell any other way. $20 I think and you got 4 DVDs and a t-shirt in a brown drawstring bag signed by Don. Also every TNA house show report on the Observer site mentioned how much merch they sold because of Don. He probably made the company more money than anyone else ever employed there.

Don West was the perfect color man for X Division matches because he would flip his poo poo for crazy spots and you could tell that it was legitimate amazement.

Sotar posted:Also I want to point out that heel Don West on commentary was amazing. He showed up late to one show just after he turned, and asked Tenay what he missed. I think this was for control of the Main Event Mafia, and Tenay said Angle and Sting were going to each choose someone to fight for them. I remember the exchange then went something like "So, wait, this is a tag match then?" "No, they're each picking someone to fight on their behalf" *fantastic pregnant pause* "...well that doesn't sound as interesting..." Charles Gnarwin posted:Don West was the perfect color man for X Division matches because he would flip his poo poo for crazy spots and you could tell that it was legitimate amazement. He really was. When he managed Red I don't think they clued him in on how the match would go because he was marking out for everything and it seemed really genuine. I loved it.

West and Tenay were absolutely the best thing in TNA. Regardless of how dumb anything was, they would try 100% to bluff it out and talk it up.

I have never really seen Japanese Wrestling outside of a few YouTube videos, but this sounds interesting and I do like Jim Ross - is this the japanese company with the razor ramon hard gay guy and also the guy in the freaky japanese mask that kind of looks like a sex doll? Oh and is this the company with the sex doll?
