I think more chance of Owens and Zayn. I also think aj will go after he loses to Nakamura. personally I hope they keep aj on smackdown. Don’t need another great wrestler smothered by Lesnar and reigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 So, for those that have seen it - Golden Lovers v Young Bucks, beat tag team match ever? It's possibly the best I've ever seen. The story it told was just incredible. That ending! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 On NJPW World, it happened last weekend at Strong Style Evolved in Long Beach, California. There's some highlight videos on YouTube, and there may be the full match on something like daily motion, I guess. On reflection, I don't think it is the best ever. Ibushi was a bit sluggish, seemingly due to the effects of jeg lag, and there were a couple of botches. Plus JR was horrible on comms, and Barnett isn't much better (they're part of the deal NJPW have with AXS on American TV). And possibly in isolation, without knowing the backstory (which is getting very substantial now!) it may not seem that great. Meltzer did give it a 5 star rating though, and it'd be my MOTY so far - although that might not be saying much as I've missed tons of non-NJPW stuff do far in 2018.

hogso Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Anyone else catch Sakura Genesis? Another weekend, another potential MOTY candidate on an NJPW show. And a great showcase for British wrestling as well. Ospreay / Scurll was absolutely incredible, the standing Spanish Fly off the apron to the floor was insane, I'm still not sure if Ospreay bladed or if that was hardway, I'd assume the latter, but damn. What a match. ZSJ gave a great account of himself in the main event too, even if the result, and subsequent challenge, were more than predictable. I can envisage a scenario where Naito beats Minoru for the IC belt, then Sabre wins it back for Suzuki-gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Further to my last post in regards to the Ospreay / Scurll match, it's now unclear if Ospreay will be ready for all the matches he's booked for over Wrestlemania weekend - that's shows for Progress, CZW, WWN, and a couple others I think. He's getting a lot of heat for going too far, some viewers apparently became quite concerned that he could quite easily have died in that spot. Which is true, I guess, but so could Ishii during the NJC when Juice destroyed with that top rope bomb - but I don't remember too many complaints then. It is scary to think how much he's shortening his career though. He can't possibly be doing what he does now, at his pace, in say 5 years time. He'll be way too banged up. Dude needs to go to the WWE in a couple of years so he can't keep on doing the crazy stuff. In other news Weird name, but if they book it right it'll be a great boost for the roster.

hogso Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Low Ki cancelled his spot on GCW's 'Matt Riddle's Bloodsport' show (all matches submission or KO only), so they booked this instead. Holy shit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I would say there is probably only three matches I am looking forward to this WM Rollins Miz Balor AJ Nakamura Bryan and Shane vs Owens and Zayn. All outcomes are predictable though Balor win Nakamura win Shane and Bryan win and owens and zayn turn up on raw next night its one of the most predictable rumbles in years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daweii Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 The NXT show the night before Mania is gonna be great to watch at the very least. NXT could put on a card featuring zero matches and it would likely still wind up better than the main rosters "stacked" effort. The only thing I am curious about with Mania is how they slot in the inevitable Cena/Undertaker skit. We may not get a match, at least not a sanctioned match, but I am at least curious about that. I'm just not looking forward to a 7+ hour Mania (including pre-show). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
