Bigass Moth posted:Where's Double J??? Drunk in a ditch somewhere. Seriously though, I wonder if his few appearances weren't supposed to be more, and he hosed it up like he did when he was NWA champ by making big demands. Apparently he asked for all kinds of star treatment when he went there as NWA champion and NJPW was none too pleased.

MassRafTer posted:That was with Zero One. I assume he was there as part of the deal to do the PPV and when NJPW didn't go forward with that arrangement they didn't need Jeffrey. Ah okay. Still, how dumb do you have to be to big time people in Japan, a place with a pretty set in stone way of doing things?

He also had a fun match with Mike Elgin in PWG back when he was still Kamataichi. I think the show was Prince?

Let Okada/Naito main event WK could be something like this Okada v Naito, for the big belt Omega vs Ibushi, US title War Machine vs G.O.D. tag belts Cody vs Tanahashi, ROH title MCMG vs Young Bucks, IWGP Jr. titles MiSu vs Zack Sabre Jr. NEVER title

Baron Corbyn posted:I'm guessing based it looking like they're doing ZSJ/Tanahashi for the IC title and Desperado/KUSHIDA that Juice or Elgin beats Suzuki in the G1 for a NEVER title shot and Suzuki/Tanahashi is the eventual outcome of that faction battle. I'm not sure on how one of them ends up dropping their title, but I guess they could do a unification match to get rid of one of their four singles heavyweight titles. poo poo I forgot to even include a match for KUSHIDA

coconono posted:Hiromu/Fale. Daryl must be avenged NJPW's history says that doesn't go too well for Hiromu. Juniors don't seem to be allowed triumph over heavyweights unless they move up in weight class. Which is a shame, because he has good matches with heavyweights.

I'm really pleased ACH has a seemingly permanent spot now with NJPW, I think it's insane ROH missed the bus on him AND Cedric Alexander, certainly lends credence to the whole "ROH doesn't like pushing multiple black people".

Everything I've ever heard about Tana makes him come off like the platonic ideal for how Top Talent™ should treat others and conduct themselves. Well, except the DDT thing, but that might have been an angle?

The Cameo posted:Step One to becoming Top Talent? Cheat on your news anchor girlfriend enough that she loving tries to stab you in a hotel room when you dump her. Pfft, do you know another way? Seriously, I'd read that it was her having troubles with mental health, and the "Pout about having to work DDT" was the only negative thing I'd heard. Safe to say her career is deader than XPW?

The video of Omega attacking Jericho for retribution was money, especially with Jericho doing a good job showing how rattled he was afterwards. Being virulent with the media, forcing the reporter to write down that it'll be Kenny's last match. Also bix has been making GBS threads on Omega on twitter for like a year, that's nothing new. He claims Toru Yano, Nattie Neidhart, Yoshi-Hashi, and Trevor Lee are better than Omega. Lee's the only one in that list who can regularly have compelling matches.

MassRafTer posted:Hopefully Goto wins because Suzuki's reign has been horrible. The NEVER belt seems perfect for Goto as a way to get some credibility back. I wouldn't mind if Goto was the one to beat Omega once Kenny wins the belt. He's too good to keep booking like he simply cannot get the job done under any circumstances.

MassRafTer posted:It does help him get bookings but that doesn't really make fans come see you and buy your poo poo. He's actually bringing in fans on top of being liked backstage. I've chalked it up to him having supreme confidence in presenting the whole "misused former WWE talent" thing. Lots of people, like Adam Rose, float that out there but get exposed as simply being nothing special. The difference between those bums and Rhodes is that he makes an effort to present something different than what he was doing in WWE. He also made a point to give the impression he was excited to work the indies with that list he posted on Twitter. I think, in a sense, there isn't a ton of difference between Shane Douglas going to ECW and becoming a big deal to that type of fan, and what Cody is doing now. Cody is a very confident talker who is buoyed by being a member of Bullet Club who is able to appear frequently in the U.S., and as tired as some may be of the Bullet Club, it puts butts in seats. Conversely, Douglas was a very confident talker who had the underground buzz of ECW doing the same thing for him that BC does for Cody. The major difference being that Rhodes is a better wrestler and doesn't get exposed as badly as Douglas when he doesn't have booking covering for his deficiencies. Cody can also cut a strong heel promo without dropping 30 F bombs.
