Uh.

I think our money successfully reached our mouths?

He also basically promised some "big revelations" for the Devil storyline on Saturday, I think he might really be getting ready to wrap this poo poo up and just go back to making good shows.

He had a bet with Jimmy Jacobs going about whether the Devil storyline or the Continental Classic would do better.

It's not NXT Japan yet. Now if Dempsey were to win then alarm bells are really going to start ringing...

Fortunately you don't have to because they've removed the show for non-Japanese shows & now if you want it you have to subscribe to FITE+. Despite it being advertised as part of your ¥900/month for December. Very uncool. So I guess you can watch it if you have that, but as I have no interest in US indies & regional MMA I can't. :smithicide:

I was just teasing, anyways, AJPW has been a light in the darkness and Nakajima v. Miyahara for the TC will probably be the best wrestling match happening this weekend. Wish I could watch it with my AJPW sub though

Also since this the AEW hell I just want to reiterate how dumb it is that multiman matches are inherently no dq. Thanks

The Dec 31st and Jan 3rd shows are still listed on the Battle Library live schedule, so might just need to set a vpn to Japanto access it like when fite carry the New Japan american shows

It's so loving dumb. It's based on a complete logical fallacy. If a guy does something DQ worthy in a 3-way, just DQ the guy and make the rest of the match a 1v1! What the gently caress!

Jay White just swinging a chair around in full view of the referee in A loving BLOCK FINAL MATCH was so bad. It almost ruined the match for me.

It's really stupid that the gold league final is automatically no-DQ cause it's a three-way. Prince Nana coulda stayed out and kicked Mox and Jay White in the balls repeatedly. undermines the whole point of the Continental Classic which has otherwise been pretty good

Just want to say that the Dragongate Open The Dream Gate Title Match from Sunday featured a 3 way where one competitor got disqualified for a chairshot right in front of the referee so the rest of the match was just 1 vs 1.

This has also been used to setup the next title match, with the guy who got DQ'd demanding a singles match at the next big show in January.

The chair thing was stupid but I can live with it because only Jay White used the chair and he ate the pin like the big stupid loser he is.
Couldn't beat MJF after he already wrestled a match and was injured. Can't beat Swerve or Mox after hitting them with chairs. Just a big loser.

The Player's Tribune essay does kinda feel like what someone would do and say if their deal was actually basically done and this was their last show, but at the same time a) they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt and b) it may actually make it worse if they knew he was gone (with or without his injury status, with or without it being what he wanted/booked) and this/the Devil stuff was the best they could do, or wanted to do, to fill the time for his farewell

I'm assuming MJF secretly re-signed before he came back from his tantrum. If Tony really didn't get him to extend his contract before giving him this giant push and focus then he is a much bigger idiot than I thought.

By a few accounts, MJF has a good deal of input and creative freedom into his angles so I think he’s just majorly whiffed this Devil thing. Hopefully it’s something he can learn from and avoid in the future.
