It's amazing that Tanahashi was wrestling Roddy Strong on Xplosion like 6 months before his first IWGP title.

Reminder that Shinsuke wrestled Elix Skipper, on xPlosion, as the REIGNING IWGP champ.

IIRC both were sub-10 minute matches and neither really got to showcase any of their skills.

And people wonder why the NJPW lockerroom started laughing when Scott D'Amore apologized.

To be fair, Tanahashi did that match because he had a PPV one with AJ like 2 days earlier.

I really enjoyed them, if only for how much fun it sounds like Granny had doing them. But they do at least include timestamps now so you can skip past the Granny stuff if you're so inclined.

The newest WOR has a pretty great description:

quote:

Wrestling Observer Radio with Bryan Alvarez and Dave Meltzer is back today with tons to talk about including full results from the ROH PPV on Friday night, NXT TV tapings update, New Japan Cup results, updates on Rey Mysterio, Bobby Fish and Rich Swann, Cyborg's next fight, Bruiser Brody's murder history and more!

When Dave wondered if he'd mailed things to a stage name I thought he meant him using a stage name. Very disappointed what he actually meant.

There's a 100% chance that Meltzer dreamed of being a wrestler at some point when he was a kid. I wonder what gimmick he'd use

Dave still wants to be one of the boys today, I can’t imagine how bad he wanted it as a kid.

This weeks retro Nitro has Goldberg and Flair tag teaming in the main event and one of the two is the babyface in peril for the majority of the match and it's not who you would think.

Just a random note. I really like Maffew Botchamania on Cultaholic and OSW Review. Guy is way funnier than the running jokes on Botchamania. That's my two cents.
