abraham linksys posted:Kelly and Callis are pretty good now; I just wish they were a tad less smarky (though they're so much better than e.g. Striker, or a lot of indie commentary) and had more enthusiasm during undercard matches They're a little eye-rolley sometimes but I kinda like their smarkiness. Like, their bit about how everybody in that organization was selling like crazy for the Young Bucks. It probably went a bit too far, but I was laughing, so I'm glad they went a little overboard with it than if they hadn't done it at all.

Keith Lee is tagging with Nagata against BUSHI and Naito at one of the RevPro shows. What I'm saying is that I wouldn't be surprised to hear talk of Keith Lee getting a NJPW run at some point next year.

I'm not a fan of Kelly and Callis though a lot of that is because my roommate and my girlfriend have started watching NJPW with me and neither of them would really consider themselves wrestling fans or smarks. I cringe a lot when I listen to them through the ears of a casual fan and they make Yujiro's entrances even more of a turn off.

Yeah, we just listen to Japanese commentary and I answer their questions or we google it to fill in the story holes. E: they also prefer the Japanese announcers screaming rainmaker over the half-hearted Super Kick shouts from Callis everytime the Bucks lift their legs.

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to take Jay White seriously. He looks like a 14 year old pretending to be a wrestler.

VJeff posted:Finally, some hope for Cena/Tanahashi being possible. Given how quickly Cena is sliding into part-time status it's at least possible if unlikely. The big issue to me is that Cena seems like the guy to be under a WWE contract of some sort for the next 20 years, but WWE could work out a deal with NJPW to share some revenue or something, or we could see it go the other way and have Tanahashi vs. Cena in a WWE match. I would love to see that match at a Wrestle Kingdom with Cena having learned a fair amount of Japanese on top of his Mandarin to cut some wild promos in the build too, even if it's just all pretape remotes. If it ever happens I think it'd have to be at Wrestlemania (where the audience is guaranteed to be full of hardcores who will flip out for the match) or Wrestle Kingdom. I mean, it's possible Cena will go out of contract for like 6 months and do crazy international dream matches in between movie roles just for the hell of out, so it's fun to think about. For now I expect Jericho/Omega to be fun, though I worry about Jericho's ability to keep up with the crazy pace set by stuff like the Omega/Okada matches.

Jericho probably wanted his WWE contract to expire while he does Fozzy yours as he gets total freedom over his media appearances and what not. WWE has a lot of control over their "independent contractors". As awesome as it would be, Cena is never stepping into an NJPW ring barring some sort of insane meltdown with the McMahons.

Chuck's teaming with a CHAOS member and is with them for multimans, He may or may not be offical but he's clearly at least in the same CHAOS ally category as the Briscoes as well as the Kingdom before they left.Gaz-L posted:Wait, Sakuraba is in CHAOS? he was but he's no longer with the company. he became YTR's partner once IIzuka turned and was even in one of the recent YTR VTRs
