No Wrestle Kingdom chat? Sad times.
-
I can't believe they let Cody Rhode's tattooist design the new IWGP belt
-
It is an awful, awful, awful idea. I've not read a single person who thinks it is a good idea and you know how divisive the IWC is. Every take has opposing sides. This is unanimous. The press conference video has like a 1:100 upvote/downvote ratio it is ridiculous.

Honestly, what a disaster. I am devastated for Hiromu.
-
Yeah I feel that. I have sought out some matches on the strength of this book, although weirdly it has been most Murrican wrestlers ie Sting v Muto, the Steiners, etc.
-
Yeah man, what a freak accident
-
What's up? I've only seen little bits and pieces since WK. Do you think it's a case of the pandemic messing things up to the point the Forbidden Door has to be opened to make up for it? Btw don't know if I mentioned it before but I got this amazing book on the history of wrestling in the Tokyo Dome called "Eggshells". It absolutely slaps.

That Jay White, sorry, "Jamie" promo was one of the best things I've seen in a long, long, long time. Thanks for highlighting it to me. Did I miss anything interesting from NYD?
-
Crowd were super into that, but watching it live with Reddit commentary they were having a meltdown. Everyone was shitting all over EVIL v SANADA then when he came down to challenge they just went full bsod. Will watch that tonight you're right he's such a great heel. I would have never predicted it a few years back.
-
I don't know how I feel about the fact Okada v Osperay was the best match overall. I mean, good I guess because Okada is so young he could carry the company another ten years, but kinda sad nobody else REALLY stepped up. Ibushi had two great matches sure, but GOAT matches? Nah.
-
Takahashi match was... weird. Bone Soldier punched his fucking head off for ever. Then there was just a bunch of weird reversals and Taka's hand injury never came into it at all. Strange.
-
EVIL + SANADA as a tag team: let's look as disparate as possible EVIL + SANADA as a feud: let's look identical Also... that fucking table spot smh
-
NEVER fight was good. Big strong men doing big strong things 👍
-
Day 2 so far: For some reason I wasn't getting the Stardom dark matches, just replays hopefully find them somewhere afterwards Opener was Yano doing Yano things, yanno? Jr Tag match was ok, perfunctory with a meh ending.
-
Read a theory that the post-match pin attempt wasn't concussion related or Ibushi selling exhaustion.... .... it was just that he's such an airhead he thought two belts meant he needed two pins xD
-
Have heard good and horrible things about Will and Bea, but hard not to respect this.
-
Was ready to say "fuck wrestling", but then Ibushi tried to pin Naito a second time and I couldn't help but love him again.
-
Naito flicking out of a head scissors into tranquillo pose. Naito sweeping the legs. Naito dragging Ibushi all over the place. .... he's gonna lose isn't he Ibushi with a better dropkick than Okada
-
Osperay vs Okada My stream cut out for a bit, what happened between them getting to the ring after the table spot and the rope break? Dispensing with the spoilers at this point. That Spanish Fly looked hot. Totally forgot to mention my favourite part of the tag match as well. There was a bit when they had grouped into three pairs, two outside one inside, and the cameras had no idea who to focus on and missed everything it was so amateurly endearing and chaotic. That Rainmaker looked STIFF. I believed it. Great match.
-
Yeah IC was always on a level with HW so it makes sense they would main event each day individually. I give it a pass because yknow COVID booking is hard. These last two matches should bang. I'm in full "plz Naito plz" mode now.
-
I don't think it's just that, the whole "split over 2 days" vibe just makes day 1 feel largely pointless anyway. Speaking of pointless - Tanahashi match felt lowkey "Cena wins lol". Meh. Cmon WK, pick up some steam.
-
KENTA match was good. The whole event has felt good-not-great so far. But like, wtf was with that Rocky Balboa monologue from the English commentary
-
IWGP Heavyweight Tag Match
-
Woke up just as Takahashi made his entrance. Perfect. Takahashi vs El Phantasmo
-
Regardless, I am hype! My days randomly got switched around so I have until the 7th to recover from getting up early for this (7am start I think UK time?)
