I liked Jim Ross saying it helped him do WK9 because his wife identified with Nakamura doing Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson. Plus he's so drat good.

Dave even had the giggles. Was that the one where they were afraid Nick Diaz was going to bust in and beat them up?

I think this week is proof that Lance Storm will find something to bitch about in anything.

First, there was the Ascension thing, specifically how he thought that using the line "What a Rush" was a shot at Hawk as a person rather than calling out the tag team. He then went on for several minutes about how it wasn't a good idea for them to directly compare themselves to legendary teams when they won't come out on the winning end of that comparison, and how there was nowhere to go with that build of Ascension vs Demolition/LOD. And then he complained about the tag opener and how he wasn't familiar with anyone in the match, so it just came off as a bunch of guys doing moves and since they didn't slow down at any point, nothing got over. He also says he couldn't remember anything from the match at all except for the flip out of the Doomsday Device spot. He also just said that Sakuraba vs Suzuki was "fine" and that he couldn't stand the "Japanese fighting spirit" spots where you let the other guy hit you. He also complained about how Suzuki had his arm worked over but was able to win with the sleeper. Similar to Sakuraba vs Suzuki, he had similar complaints about Ishii vs Makabe. Storm had not watched anything from Omega vs Funky Weapon on. I'm not saying he's 100% wrong - I think the Young Bucks would often benefit from maybe removing one or two big spots from their match and just slow down a bit after a crazy dive or something, and The Ascension is being booked horribly but you can say that about just about anything in WWE these days. But I think Storm comes off as being inflexible in what he wants to see in a match and is really bordering up against some of the bad things Jim Ross does on his podcast. Oh, and then Storm bragged about how many people's he blocked on Twitter because they were stupid. Sometimes I think Storm is great on the show with his insights into working a match and all that, but htis time he came off as the least fun person in the world to be around.

oatgan posted:i actually dont disagree with a single one of his opinions on those tokyo dome matches I'm pretty familiar with everyone in the tag opener, but I think he has something of a point to it. But I also think there's a place for very high paced matches; a card filled with them would not be good, but every now and then with a bunch of spots? That's fine. I just take the "I'll stand here and you hit me so I can show off how tough I am" spots as part of the puro landscape, especially when Minoru Suzuki's involved. It's also unrealistic that Hogan would hulk up after being hit in the face by Dibiase or Bundy or whoever in the 80s, but it worked and that's what really matters.

I thought the opener was a great intro into the show. It wasn't one of the biggest matches on the show and it just needed to be fast and intense to get the crowd into the show. Even remembering one spot from that match is better than 90% of PPVs where all the matches outside of two are completely forgettable. I didn't like the sleeper finisher either. I thought a triangle would have been far better since he could have realistically applied that with 1 arm. The hulk up spot is a classic and no worse than a million other things that people do in prowrestling that sound retarded on paper but get over huge with crowds.

I disagree with his opinion about Suzuki vs Sakuraba. The build for the match indicated it was very much about who was tougher, and who was the badder dude. It is not that weird in a wrestling context for both of them to go "C'mon, tough guy, gimme your best shot" in an effort to prove that they are the badder dude. If that doesn't work for Lance that's fine, but I don't think it's a dumb thing for them to do. And it's not like those trade-off spots don't pop up in U.S. matches from time to time.

It does say something that even with all the poo poo those guys did in the opener, one of the big spots from the show that people keep talking about is a dropkick. I'm really not much of a fan of those US indy style clusterfuck openers but I do understand that they have a role to play in warming up the crowd and I think it's fine to have one of them on a show. That said, there's a reason those guys will always be stuck in the prelims and it's not just because of their size.

I don't particularly get the feeling that the Young Bucks give a crap about being the next Tanahashi or Okada. There's not a lot of room at the top but the Young Bucks have been great at being in fun midcard matches for years; why worry about moving them to the top of the card? There's plenty of room in the midcard and as long as they keep entertaining and putting on good, creative matches and being super athletic; there should be room on a show for them.
