I said a while back that once Clark started showing more personality that he’d really take off and I’m so, so glad he’s just gotten REAL weird with it. looking forward to that match! (the whole show, sure, but especially what those two put on)

(the whole show, sure, but especially what those two put on) Zack and Clark felt like real life banter between two people who actually respect each other (probably because it was lol) compared to what you tend to get on pro wrestling TV. I hope Zack gets more matches with guys like Clark and Ren and fewer with guys like Ishii so that title can do what it was advertised as

The stuff between Zack and Clark was great, wasn't feeling the Kingston stuff but maybe it's just because he didn't have Jay to bounce off of

They should totally put Clark in TMDK, him and Zack have easy chemistry and his brand of weird would go great with Shane Haste. Mad Mikey can be there too as well I guess

I think they're trying to make the TV title the "Strong Style" belt and building towards Narita taking it. So hopefully it'll be doing both - giving a platform to younger guys and providing the style of match the NEVER belt used to have

forkboy84 posted:Yeah but the NEVER has transitioned away from strong style Title to "Basically the IC without the prestige" That’s the US. NEVER is the Bullet Club belt now. Anyway what I mean to say is that Zack/Ishii is a match that could be for any belt bar the big boy one. Zack/Clark feels like a match that could only be for the TV title so it’s nice to have something with an identity.

Really looking forward to Coughlin doing stupidly strong suplexes on Kratos Anyway on Rocky's WOR interview they confirmed that TV Asahi crew is shooting this so it's going to be the best looking US show in a long time
