Given the pieces they had, that’s the best combination. Besides there’s poetry in Joe deciding to upgrade from being the king of tv to being a king in hell.

The block winners and runners up compete in a mini elimination final tournament of singles matches, just like in the CC. Meanwhile, people not in the final matches usually end up in their own feuds going forward built off of results of matches in the tournament, often including someone usually beating the champion in the earlier tournament becoming the challenger for Power Struggle or whatever the next PPV is.

apophenium posted:Has the G1 ever had a match in the block finals be no DQ no countout I don’t think the G1 has had an unbreakable tie before. But complaining about a triple threat match being no-DQ and no-countout is up there with complaining that battle royal participants spend most of their time sitting by the ropes and not interfering with other wrestlers doing spots.

It doesn't sour me on the quality of match but it did annoy me that we had steel chair stuff in the C2 block final and it's just shrugged off as being the dumb three way rules.

They decided it with a decision match the same night as the grand final. Chono won that, then followed it up by scoring his first pinfall victory ever over Muto. Champion Carnival had an unbreakable three way tie with Kawada, Kobashi, and Misawa. This was decided with a one night three man round robin. Kawada wrestled Kobashi, won; Misawa then wrestled Kobashi, who took him to a 30 minute draw; then Kawada beat Misawa in about eight minutes to win the Carnival.

But yeah, the point is that the “oh no, we have an unbreakable tie, we need to break it with more wrestling” isn’t that stupid creatively, and a triple-threat match isn’t the stupidest way to have three go in equal and one come out victorious.

There are legitimate criticism of using Shoot Outs in Soccer and Hockey, but real sports indeed do use these kind of things to decide outcomes even if it isn't perfectly in line with the ideals of the sport. In this case, they are already deciding part of a singles tourney with a 3 way, so I'm not too offended that a chair got involved.

Vandar posted:I know that all of us know, but for the people lurking the thread that might not know, what does happen after the block matches in the G1? This is a novel idea, but you simply book the tournament in such a way that you don't have a tie-breaker to separate everyone. Make one of the rules that the guy with the shortest combined match time of the 3 goes through or something. You can have any number of dumb tiebreakers without needing to book a 3 way match with No DQs. Hell, you can just book a regular match & not hit each other with chairs, or do it when the ref is knocked out if you must. Or and here's an idea, have guy who hits his opponent with the chair get eliminated so you can just then go into a singles match between the last 2 guys. Whatever.

I think that it should have been an elimination three way anyway so there was a clear second place. gently caress off with saving someone from a clean pin in a round robin tournament.

For what it’s worth if New Japan did it it’d be the Sumo style thing I suspect - they’ve never done it but in the last few years it’s been done by Stardom, AJPW and WAVE at least. Also in Japan three way matches are not generally not no DQ/no Countout: Stardom historically always would throw in a mid-match DQ in a three way (other two carried on; so it didn’t end the match but eliminated those DQd/counted out) so even if they did one it wouldn’t involve weapons. I think the silly thing to me is that if you want to establish the rules doing the shock unbreakable tie first is a bit silly; I’d at least do a few tournaments first. It’s not a major thing - I personally would have had the semis be A1 vs B2 and B1 vs A2 to give an extra unique match - but not ideal.

fart blood posted:Make up your loving minds, wrestling fans: do you want storyline progression or not I blame fedbrain because NOAH heads know how pointless turns can sometime yield great matches. Plus it ties Joe into the face of the Devil Crew, which I know some people groan about. However it shows(rather than tells) character development because he's usually the one chumped by ninjas. It shows the inherit cowardice of Joe and why the triumphant babyface MJF is going to beat his rear end one handed. coconono fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Dec 29, 2023 |

Looking at the thumbnail for the video, this is obviously a weekly show he's fantasy booking here which will lead to the monthly PPV. However, considering this is a guy who thinks Tony Khan is a terrible booker, why is he then booking a show which gives away big name matches on TV?
