That Bullet Club/Chaos Three way and Okada/Ospreay vs Naito/Takahasi tags seem like they could be really good

Getting along with Okada in the locker room certainly can't hurt his chances. Can't say I'm surprised at what you said wrt Cobb and Sami based on being one of the few weirdos to actually watch this tour

Actually my unnamed but very real sources say there is massive heat on Sexy Chucky T for damaging Okada's reputation by repeatedly calling him a pervert :eek:


Also while I can't imagine this is the case, Taichi getting Vince's attention would make a weird sort of sense to me. Completely hateable douchebag? Comes out with a sexy lady? STRIPS HIS PANTS OFF TO REVEAL HIS SEXY THIGHS?!? :vince:

TAKATaichiMania is happening in late January and LIJ are being promoted for it, so I don't think Taichi is gone.

Hmmm. Wonder what it could be. Maybe they got talked into getting it on US PPV?

edit: guess not. But who is big enough a name in New Japan that it would be newsworthy that they're leaving, because I doubt it's any of the big four, I doubt the WWE has interest in KUSHIDA, I don't think anyone gives a poo poo enough about the heavyweight tag title division for KES leaving to really matter - I mean no one actually cared that Anderson and Gallows left, it was "oh no AJ and Shinsuke" when that raid happened.

It'd be weird if it was like Suzuki getting a WWE contract or something.

Does anyone actually give a poo poo about Taichi or Kanemaru enough for them to qualify as "significant news?" I gotta assume it's something else.

I made a good decision.



I then stumbled upon a Chono-Onita Explosive Barbed Wire match that was really good, because everyone tries to avoid the ropes like it was the goddamn plague, unlike an indy pin cushion.

The best part is the entrances and I think those are cut from NJPWorld.

But they are on youtube.

Yeah that match is my and my others' choice for the best combined entrances in history and anyone who hasn't seen them should rectify that immediately

Still I think this is the right way to book a bleeding and explosives match. Participants should be avoiding it and not trying to be the first one in. Also gives it meaning when someone eventually does.

I haven't watched any of the tag league but my introduction to them was when they returned a few months ago and had endless matches with War Machine and GoD and I found KES to be kinda boring.

KES is more interesting if you're aware of how much Archer improved

I feel like I've mostly seen them against War Machine and GOD, both of whom are much better.

Which is a bit unfair since War Machine is loving incredible but still, I just watched WM/KES and every time KES had control of the match, it was boring.

Archer is a really fun singles guy, as well. When he shows up at Inspire it's always rowdy and then he makes the ring announcer get him a beer and chastises him for taking too long.

It's not that kind of test.
I'm finding KES much more tolerable this run and I'm not sure if it's because they actually improved or because they're facing teams other than Tencozy. DBS in particular has looked good lately, though he's always been pretty carryable.

i was at a roh tv taping years ago and the dark match was KES vs war machine and they had an absolutely wild brawl that ended in a double dq and made me a fan of KES
