WWE killing Indies/Japan fully and not being able to create another superstar thus killing them would be a funny ending for the Company at the very least.

They keep saying Roman sells a lot of merch but maybe they pulled the Hogan WCW trick and its other wrestlers ringing up as Reigns. Makes you think

Sapp was a horrible wrestler but giving him the IWGP title was one of Inoki's least dumb ideas of the time given how hot Sapp was in Japan at the time

I'm legit shocked Vince didn't try to sign him for huge money before him being completely terrible was exposed. He checks all of the boxes Vince likes on a guy

HulkaMatt posted:fyre festival would be a great comparison if these wrestlers had nobody on board, had no history of putting on a wrestling show, didn't know the first thing about putting on a wrestling show, didn't have any funding for a wrestling show, couldn't get any wrestlers to come to this wrestling show, and they held it on an island where the only way to watch would be to pay thousands of dollars. Someone send this idea to Inoki so he'll want to redo the dessert island match but with an actual crowd this time

I think Bushiroad is probably gonna do a Joshi promotion at some point but itd probably be it's own thing and given how talent rarely jumps in Japan I suspect it needs to start out with home grown talent

JT Smiley posted:I'll never understand when people complain that NXT isn't a true developmental anymore. Like would they rather watch green as grass PC trainees stumble their way through a match? NXT actually would be better as true training ground for wrestlers needing to learn and not a dumping place for indy talent WWE doesn't want in NJPW/AEW but doesn't want them on the main roster making main roster money. Not to mention the fact NXT doesn't really make money and hasn't actually built a main roster star

WWE havings its minor league have high match quality expectations so it can keep talent down there and not call them up and pay them main roster money is one of the more subtle mean things they've done. They also have fans wishing it too! It'd be like a bad hockey/baseball team keeping talent down in the minors so the minor league team can win cups. Makes no sense at all

The Snap Dragons felt like the spot that could go really wrong given the amount of stuff in the ring. Like at one time I though Kenny was going to do one with Moxley hitting the chain

yea ok posted:It probably was in that sense, but I don't think he was talking about it in that way. Just felt like really odd pearl clutching from the same guy who argues with people about Will Ospreay every day. Dave's gone after Will for not being safe before and he did comment that Hiromu's first match being Will might not be the best idea so it's not like he's given that a free pass! Though yeah the forum bodying Dave for his comments is okay even if the only one I found out of left field was the 5x worse than Big Japan. I do think he's wrong about it leading to copy cat matches that are unsafe cause the match wasn't any unsafer than a normal top level match but I can see why he thinks that way and honestly expected that reaction given what he's written about the Foley Hell in a cell and other deathmatches. I can also see his point of this match maybe not be appealing to new viewers, as that type of blood and action can certainly turn people off not used to wrestling (Though at the same time he contradicted that point earlier by saying the audience for Wrestling right now is all hard core fans which mostly seemed to love the match). I probably would of run this match probably after a few more months of TV after you built a new audience and gotten them used to the product myself but if the ratings and buy rate stay the same or grow than Dave will be more than proven wrong. Though I do expect Vince and WWE will use this to drag AEW with sponsors. Heck I expect them to attack it the first live event they have
