The Cameo posted:I like how Bix notes that Kenny doesn't speak the same way in English-speaking countries. And by working it into his character a bit it seems less like he's patronizing the crowd. oatgan posted:He also speaks Japanese though And he uses it sometimes, but the Bullet Club leader works a bit better when he's speaking English rather than Japanese.

Sucks that with Tanahashi out we won't get the match with the top two matches facing off in tag matches that have been really good in recent years.

Thauros posted:It wouldn't other than the fact that they don't do that poo poo at all even with face factions and the first time Okada and Tanahashi team up should be on a bigger show. With the way Gedo books I can't see Okada and Tanahashi teaming up in the main event of a major show as a major deal.

The Dome show is good because I can just watch the top 3 matches and then go to work and watch the rest when I get home/forget to watch it and just say I did.

Tanahashi has a ton of charisma and fantastic psychology. The Tanahashi/Anderson match from New Beginning several years back is an absolute masterpiece as the match is perfectly structured and Tanahashi's selling and timing are so on that he makes it feel like Ken Anderson will win the title a month after he beat Okada. He makes everything mean something, except instead of doing it with holds he does it with frog splashes and sling blades.

coconono posted:oh yeah, don't expect a significant singles match out of the top tier roster guys until the dome. This is a huge chance for the younger and lower card guys to start making bids for placement in 2018 cards. The relevant young guys in those singles matches won't even be around for most of 2018.

I watched Dominion later that day under the assumption it went to a draw and they almost swayed me that Omega would win. It was really something else.

El Gallinero Gros posted: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. There's no reason for Goto to ever win the big one unless he unexpectedly catches fire as a noble failure.

Goto has great music and I always thought he should have been a bigger star than he is until I saw him in ROH a few years ago. He felt like just a guy then. Then I saw him in ROH this year and he tried as hard as he could to take no bumps in a match with the Briscoes and I fell in love again. (He ended up taking 1)

I'd give Naito the belt for six months and go to Omega because it'd probably slightly annoy Naito fans that NJPW won't make him the guy and somehow get him even more over.

SatoshiMiwa posted:I think Suzuki probably is a good first challenger for Naito cause he still has an air of being legit and a LIJ/Suzuki Gun feud will be unique. Than you go into Jericho and maybe Sanada/Evil as the New Japan Cup winner before..Ibushi and Omega. I don't like Suzuki that much but that sounded pretty good until I realized how bad LIJ and The Goon would make it.

C. Everett Koop posted:Assuming that Long Beach is a double-shot like last year, I'd go Naito/Cody to main day 1, which furthers the eventual Bullet Club breakup and sets the stage for Naito/Omega down the road, and day 2 run Omega/Ishii for the US (Ishii goes over to free Kenny for his eventual IWGP challenge) and Bucks/R3K in a ladder match for the Jr tag belts. Bucks deserve a headlining match for the work they've done, I don't think they could go vs. R3K straight up but make it a gimmick match and you could get away with it. Maybe. It's one night.

Pinstripe Hourglass posted:I say this as a big Cody fan and I do believe he has a natural charisma but every time he is trying to do a Big Memorable Promo he very much comes off as a man playing a character trying to do a Big Memorable Promo, whereas Hard Times felt like something Dusty could have just been saying whenever he wanted It was, Hard Times wasn't a particularly notable promo at the time. He did those promos all the time. I have no idea what Cody's appeal is, but he clearly has it so I can't really deny whatever it is.

Thauros posted:they have to shoot a big angle at NYD, omega's explicitly face in his current angle, jay white needs a stable, and i don't think the goto turn is happening even tho I'd love to see it. BC split would make sense. I could see an Elite/BC split but I can't see him breaking off from The Elite entirely this soon. Not until the All In show is at least nearing.
