i dare say there won't be any in the future either. anyway there's tons of Big Mouth Loud stuff on youtube if you want more of that style (though with more submission work and less cooperative trading of strikes)

I figured the Taichi situation was a close analogue and he got a major push (albeit in NOAH) not long after his suspension and paycut, but a bunch of people said that the Taichi sexts occured four years before they were publicly revealed.

Boredom is always counter-revolutionary. Always.
EVIL is probably the next generation of stiff NEVER brawlers if that's what you're asking, but he doesn't do many kicks. If you want a lot of kicks, maybe Nakajima over in NOAH?

My friend made a plushie/doll of Shibata and gave it to him at a RPW show, and it's in some of these pictures I can't stop laughing. Somehow this doll has been involved in this sordid affair.

Also Goto liking this woman's tweets. I love Shibata but seeing him getting exposed like this is kinda funny xD

Just wish they'd taken the Honma poo poo as seriously as this....

Think Shibata is married, but I didn't know anything about it prior to this. I wonder what his best friend and adorable family man KENTA thinks of this??

I was listening to Cornette talk about the omega vs okada match and man I know it's old hat at this point to bitch about corny but dude really needs to update what he thinks about wrestling. Like first of all he spends 10 minutes bitching about omega no showing a show a decade ago. Then he rants about the ddt stuff, and when he finally gets into reviewing the match it's him saying there is too much selling and the match should have ended in a count out after the table spot. A count out on their biggest show of the year for the title in the main event. I'll give him credit for giving the match some credit but come on.

Cornette's rant on the match was truly old crotchety stubbornness but I think you're taking his "count out " comment out of context. He was saying that the spot was so brutal that it should be used when you want to do a count out or write someone out for an injury angle, rather than having that spot and then continuing the match for even longer afterwards. He wasn't saying end that match in a count out with that spot.

He's still a stubborn old prick with bad opinions about a modern product, though.

Cornette's literally the Old Man Yells At Cloud picture at this point, and while I'm sure he plays it up a great deal since it's what the audience expects out of him, at some point you tune him out since you know he's not gonna like poo poo.

I mean I get what he was saying. And he even gave that spot a lot of credit for how good it looked. But he said that it looked so good it should have had him get counted out or do a hospital angle. Which in the context of a smaller match I would actually agree with him. But the main event of wk 11 I don't get that at all.

Remember how there were lion's gate shows and that njpw was going to do more with global indies like RevPro and wXw? I guess the NOAH fallout axed that. I also just really want NJPW to bring in Walter or something.

He wasn't saying do a count out in the match, he was saying don't do a spot that brutal unless you are planning to either do a count out finish or write someone off tv for a while. He just worded it poorly because as always he lets his crotchety complaining get the best of him.

Revpro wasnt a good example but the other promotions they listed in the original press release were RevPro, wXw, ROH, CMLL, NWA, and GFW. As far as I know they've done absolutely nothing involving wXw.

They haven't sent any talent over for one of those wXw tournaments? Even so it's impressive they'd manage to do something, even minor stuff with so many different groups.

I can't think of the last time I saw a guy for the first time and immediately thought,"That dude is a star," before I'd even seen him do anything.

Edit: Actually I can, it was Brock Lesnar. The time before that was Edge the night he debuted. Good lord.
