Lamuella posted:Being fair, he was rating the match at the point where doctors were taking Shibata's brain out and putting it back in again, so a shadow was hanging over the whole thing. Should have gone back and given it a couple extra stars after Shibata came out at the G1 to tell us he was still alive

Hedgehog Pie posted:When was the last time an active wrestler had the book in a major promotion? Given Tony Khan is a big wrestling history nerd, I feel like he might be a bit wary if the latest example was still Big Sexy's tenure in WCW. He only does tag stuff nowadays but Gedo has done 30 matches so far this year in New Japan

Looks like WWE will be airing on Abema in Japan after not being broadcast in the country for a couple years. Interesting because Abema is a CyberAgent subsidiary, the same people that own DDT, TJPW and NOAH https://twitter.com/tospo_battle/status/1707306795717595191

Digital Jedi posted:I think the EC match is the only announced event for Australia so far There's also something from WWE on April 20th in Perth, Ticketmaster doesn't have much info but just looks like a live show. Our biggest local promotion EPW has announced a show the night before with some guys from over East (Caveman Ugg and The Velocities announced so far) but I doubt it'll draw more than the 800 or so crowd that the Willeton Stadium shows have had in the past, the wrestling scene here is as small as you'd expect from such an isolated place. e: it's nearly as stupid as New Japan booking a show in Wagga Wagga (halfway between Sydney and Melbourne, a 4 1/2 hour drive each way) SG Bamboo fucked around with this message at 00:53 on Dec 10, 2023 |

Testekill posted:I will echo that it's absolutely baffling to run a stadium show in Perth. Airline tickets are about as expensive as they have ever been at the moment and people are not exaggerating when we say that Perth is isolated. Melbourne & Sydney are both pretty accessible as you can still travel from state to state by a regional train. Meanwhile that's not really an option for traveling to WA from one of the neighboring states, it's a very long drive through the desert from Adelaide to Perth and going from Alice Springs or Darwin is way out. an example for people that don't often think about Australia being goddamn huge for how many people live here. You could drive to any of the major population centres on the East Coast in the time it takes to drive from Perth to the nearest city, and that trip includes nothing but desert

1glitch0 posted:Why does Perth even have such a giant loving stadium? Kangaroo mma? Need to house all the visiting fans coming to see their guys beat the Eagles and/or Dockers Considering the last time I remember the WWE coming to Perth (2005) they ran the Burswood Dome which has since been demolished, there's really no other good option for where they'd go, the next biggest venues are NIB or WACA and those only seat around 25 000

Perfect way for Roman's reign to end. After years of winning because people interfered for him, he lost because the other guy had more people to interfere for them. That's the makes WWE cinema, there's so many layers to the storytelling

I thought the Roman/Cody match was fine approaching good before it crashed to a halt and 7 people interfered. 4.75 stars is exceedingly genreous, that on par with Kurt Angles best matches
