I have to imagine being a wrestling promoter is stressful as poo poo because at any moment your talent can just be unavailable.

Shibata is still fine and I’m happy he has a job and still gets to wrestle but he’s obviously not the killer he used to be.

thought the collision crowd was kinda bad last night. even when there was chants they felt muffled and quiet i dunno. also think i might have over hyped myself on what a shibata/danielson match would like since it was a dream match and both men are not what they are from years ago

The crowd giving ZERO reaction to that disgusting submission Trish put Julia in was what caused me to complain about them in the GDT.

I think a big part of Shibata's aura in New Japan that doesn't translate to America is A )how he was shot. B) He seems like a guy that was probably just pissed off at the world in his 20s and 30s and has just chilled out in his 40s.

Absolutely not but it’s okay. He shouldn’t have to do that stuff anymore, he’s old and his brain has been taken out and put back in. He’s earned his right to wrestle Danhausen.

Tony not having Danhausen do a perfect copy of Toru Yano for his act should really be the biggest indictment of his booking and taste in wrestling

I like Danhausen he could absolutely be used well if Tony didn’t have buyers remorse for him. Let him do his Svengoolie schtick. Give him a dumb little talk show. SEE ALSO: Chuck Taylor

Kill RJ City and have Danhausen do all that stuff.

But not really, RJ City is the thinking man's Danhausen and just better. Let RJ wrestle.

It's honestly kind of wild. Other than Swerve, Toni Storm, Danielson, and Joe, everyone who came over from WWE during that 2021-22 period has been just killed.

Keith Lee is dead, Miro is on another planet, Malakai and Buddy are jokes, Andrade said "gently caress this", Ruby is non-existant, Taya and Athena are banished to ROH, Roddy was an actual joke character until about a month ago, Claudio has been ok I guess, Stokley is completely irrelevant.

Cole is featured at least, but was also in two of the worst feuds all of last year.

It's impossible to get invested in any wrestlers in this company, because outside of like 10 guys, who knows when someone could just vanish for months.

Athena is one of the best ROH champs of all time.


Also Taya as a "WWE person" is certainly a choice.
