It's Friday, and you know what that means! It's time for Rampage, and tonight we've got, well, not an official "Battle of the Belts", but something mighty close!** New Japan, Ring of Honor, and AAA will all titles defended tonight! https://twitter.com/AEWonTV/status/1664700912445673474?s=20 The AAA Mega-Championship is on the line as champion El Hijo Del Vikingo defends against not only Dralistico, but Komander as will in Three Way Match! The tweet says it all. This may be the first match in history where the competitors spend more time above the mat than on it! This is one match where you don't even want to blink for fear of missing something spectacular! https://twitter.com/AEWonTV/status/1664422827850878976?s=20 Willow Nightingale shocked the world when she defeated Mercedes Mone to become the inaugural New Japan Strong Women's Champion! Some might say she won on a fluke*** because Mone suffered an injury during the match which she was able to take advantage of, so tonight she has the opportunity to prove all of them wrong. Tonight she faces off with the legendary Queen herself, Emi Sakura! With the Wembley show only two-ish months away, Sakura would love nothing more than to go into that as champion. Can she stop the fun loving Nightingale, or will Willow show the world that she earned that title? https://twitter.com/AEWonTV/status/1664640654180339717?s=20 Zack Sabre Jr continues his dominant reign as the first ever New Japan Pro Wrestling World Television Champion****, and tonight he defends the title against Action Andretti. This is certainly one of the biggest matches of Andretti's career. Can the young upstart shock the seven time WON Best Technical Wrestler Award winner? Or will Sabre Jr make his tenth successful title defense? https://twitter.com/AEWonTV/status/1664392629206028288?s=20 Katsuyori Shibata first shocked the world by coming back from a life-threatening injury, then further shocked the world by capturing the Ring of Honor Pure Championship, making short work of Wheeler Yuta*****. And tonight he faces a tough challenge in the shape of Lee Moriarty. Moriarty's quick, agile, and is as talented of a technical wrestler as anyone out there. If there was anyone destined to be a Pure Champion, it's Moriarty. Could Shibata's reign be coming to an end? Or will Shibata continue with his miraculous comeback? *"Scrimmage" sounds like the name of a villain of a novel that's set in the 1700s. i.e. Jacob Scrimmage, Witch Finder. **Into the Belt-Verse? ***Not me! [points threateningly] And neither should any of you. ****Honest question: Shouldn't this be the IWGP World Television title? *****aka "Little poo poo"

Incredible show line-up, and Fite appears to be playing it at the right time this week so I don't have to be exposed to the absurd lunacy that is American Broadcast Television  Davros1 posted:****Honest question: Shouldn't this be the IWGP World Television title? It does seem odd that they (New Japan) seem to be specifically choosing to make it the NJPW TV Title instead of the IWGP TV Title, but I have no idea what the significance of it is. Maybe it's got something to do with tv rights/broadcasting agreements in Japan?

Just finished watching some movies right in time for what is sure to be an all time great Rampage. They should put Daddy Magic on commentary for Emi's match.

Jerusalem posted:Welp, you've talked me into it. AEW Dark Elevation was an absolute blast especially at the end because it was just Daddy Magic and Paul Wight reacting like they never watched wrestling before in their life. I have never been more sold on Emi than when Matt Menard was howling into the microphone "DAT'S DA QUEEN, PAUL! YOU GOTTA BOW DOWN TO DA QUEEN!".
