https://t.co/JdK4uWb382 SI says Rey's entertaining offers from GFW and WWE

Wouldn't look too much into the WWE side, they're still very much on the "if we have you we want to use you" kick they were when he left, and he's still very much "my knees are fucked and I don't want to work 17 shows a month on them" which he was when he left. All signs point to him going GFW, and Konnan having more power/friends

Makes sense for Rey going to GFW, being the new leader of LAX or something.

Yes, but American nerds only think of DBZ when they hear the name Goku, despite Journey to the West being adapted about 80 billion times.

...there are people who don't know Dragonball is based on Journey to the West?

Well damn.

Doesn't explain Yoshitatsu, but I think New Japan is looking for any excuse to get rid of him. Sending him to Mexico, sending him to AJPW, etc.

He's freelance now, but they'll probably always have a place for him - either in the dojo like Captain, or in the office like Wataru. Obviously not as a commentator though haha, he's no Milano.

I have never watched an episode of Dragonball, and even then I knew where it had to be coming from with 'Goku' as a main character.

As cool as the Kojima/Suwama match is, sending Yoshitatsu to AJPW is really shitty. I really hope this isn't a NOAH/NJPW situation D:

Depends on the city/event he returns in. If he'd be a surprise Rumble entrant or get a return on par with the Hardy's, it would be one of the biggest pops ever.

People have their education from moving pictures and comics. Not that surprising. Noone knows Alladin is from China, murders the wizard and his brother and that the whole thing is written by a french dude.

They Are Going To Let Kurt Angle Wrestle Again

The announcement I make in 10 hours on Monday Night Raw will change my life and career 4ever. Be sure to tune in tonight. #RawGM @WWE

If they let Kurt wrestle again that adds even more fuel to my belief that Bryan was sidelined to stop his fanbase.

Bret is the best interview period...

The way he sneaks shitting on fashion models is solid stand up comedy quality

Bret should do a Shit on Everything Podcast with Lance Storm. I'd pay to listen to them debate/shit on stuff, especially because Lance hates libraries and that's fucking hilarious

Kaladin · Jul 17, 2017

So I was going down to Day 2 of the Mae Young Classic, but I got caught in the worst traffic jam I've ever been in south of Gainesville, FL. Took me 1 and a half hours to get to an exit I could take, and there was still 5 miles to where the road was blocked for the accident. Turns out, the band Adrenaline Mob was pulled off the road with their RV and a semi veered off and smashed into it killing one and injuring six others. By the time I had cleared it to some backroads I determined that taking the backroads down to Orlando meant I would miss over half the show. At Full Sail when they sell to capacity they can tend to over sell and I knew by that point I might not even get in with a ticket so I came on home. RIP to Adrenalin Mob's bass player.....yall stay safe on the roads.

IIRC, Lucha Underground's noncompete will hurt him (not sure if his contract is bad as Ricochet, though).

He's been doing fine in the indies. Not everyone is going, or wants to go, or even will be able to go WWE

I can see a Mundo going back. WWE is a big draw for wrestlers sadly.

Sephzilla said:

I could until I realised he married Taya, with no women in NJPW I can't see it. Which makes WWE a easy choice if he and his wife want to stay close

It was a great card, I'd watch LIJ vs LIJ, Nagata/YOSHI HASHI and Goto/Ishii for sure.

Chaos/Chaos & Bullet Club/Suzukigun were fun too.

He's based in the west coast, if NJPW hits it as hard as they say they are going to. It would make sense.

Pikma · Jul 17, 2017

What's more fucked up, Bryan's head/brain or Kurt Angle's neck?

I can't believe I'm saying this but I think I'd rather watch Goto in a match over Sami.
