Not much point in him being in NJPW taking pins right now.

I mean, i'd rather it be Ishimori getting all the pins in Firing Squad tag matches than Loa.

I get the impression that he's just running out the dates he had left with TNA and then he'll be gone.

ROH has always done better in Canada, or at least Toronto though. Drawing 300 for the Monday tapings and probably that or less for yesterday doesn't seem like it'd be worth undercutting ROH for.

I suppose it could happen if ROH was real thirsty for a partnership with Impact but ROH or even NJPW on it's own would outdraw an Impact-branded thing.

It's probably okay to have gently caress finishes on TV to build up to a PPV, but it's also just okay to not have your heavyweight champion wrestle at every show.


Also they only run 2 goddamn PPVs now.

Also they're already UTTERLY squandering Joe Hendry who while not a world beater is probably a more complete package than anyone in the company right now sans Pentagon.

Redemption in January to set up the next year's storylines

Destination X or Lockdown in April during WrestleMania weekend

Slammiversary in July

Johnny Saint bless him is 28 years older than Kurt Angle who at times struggles himself.

Things to note about Smackdown tonight:

Becky Lynch will be opening the show, Carmella is set to interrupt. She'll get interrupted by Charlotte, who is cleared to return.
The main event will be Carmella vs Charlotte, and if Charlotte wins, she gets added into the Summerslam Smackdown Women's Title match.

Any hints you willing to give? I can't really see any matches they would could tweak from the announced card so far and the yet to be announced matches.

For reference for those who don't know:

- Ciampa vs Gargano vs Black

- EC3 vs Velveteen Dream

- Shayna vs Kairi

- Ricochet vs Cole

- TUE vs Mustache Mountain

Or posters could just calm down and not ask questions I am not going to answer or can't. And just take my posts for what they are. I am not being vague they haven't fully decided on what the changes will be yet. Again wait for the Observer.

Nobody was asking about it until you brought it up, so you don't really have a leg to stand on here.

That said, I hope Shayna's out.

Shayna worked the tour over last weekend (losing in tag matches or squashing Candice), so I don't think its her. I don't recall Ricochet working any matches over the latest tour, and he was supposed to be a part of them, so he could be the person injured. In fact, he hasn't worked any matches since June 21st apparently.

Firstly that makes no sense.

Given how the TV was taped I dunno when or how the changes can/will be inserted it could be as late as the preshow. So it is kinda silly to speculate. Let it play out. This thread is more for spoilers than speculation. Also, the whole card hasn't been revealed on TV yet so I am not posting anything about this in the NXT thread out of respect for the posters who don't want spoilers at all. I am just saying for various reasons Takeover won't go down as originally planned at the Full Sail taping. When I know more I will post more. The show is two weeks away they could change their minds dozens of times. That's outside of my control.

This shouldn't require a lengthy explanation.
