October Wrasslin' |OT| I'm seein' double here...

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't think anyone believes AJ is going to wrestle Brock. Where are you getting that from?

And it actually is possible someone else wins the Rumble (like last year when SD won it with Randy) and Roman finds another way into the title match.
I'm being crazy but I think Nakamura wins and goes against AJ.

We have English commentary for Power Struggle on Nov. 5, World Tag League finals on Dec. 11 and #WK12 on January 4. All live on @njpwworld

Thought it would just be for Wrestle Kingdom. Excellent news
 
Except for the part where they're supposed to be heels and no one's going to boo Bryan.

People booed Bryan during the New Day/Uso segment...

Bryan could be great with Sami and Kevin. The issue is that Shane's the face despite the fact he's an absolute shitheel in every situation because Vince is his daddy.

New Japan stay winning.


I was never an in ring Angle fan very much.
Out of ring as a comedy act? Absolutely. In ring, never did it for me.

No, he's the face because people cheer louder for him than anyone else. And if he turned heel it would be the fucking worst because the last thing we need is another heel authority figure.
 
I want real ass, Wrestling Machine, gives no fucks Kurt Angle. I want the mouthpiece and all.

Honest question but why? Most people, including myself, recognize him as one of the all time greats in ring.
 
There's no way. There's no other opponents on the face side other than AJ. AJ is getting the title back.

Cena wins Rumble.

Beats Jinder at WM for #17

"India is defeated. Cena is GOAT."

Vince cries

It's better than her old one, but Tamina's been in the company for so long and has never shown any kind of improvement and is worse than Lana so I don't really care?

In the ring? Nah
 
It looks like I missed a lot of news as I slept. Will have to catch up now.

AJ will be the first top quality talent Balor has faced in a long time, no?

Every now and then I think about that segment where she got on the mic and tried a comeback, and I cringe... very hard.

This makes 0 sense.

He was able to easily switch between a very good ground based submission style (almost Brett Hart-esque) to doing moonsaults off the top rope at the drop of a hat. He was fantastic at everything, he sold like a champ and he was super safe with the other wrestlers.

Easily top 3 greatest in ring worker of all time.

Seeing as Asuka is going to the ageist Raw Women's Division, how long is it until Alexa Bliss shames her for being old?
 
In the ring? Nah

Point me to a Tamina match where she's got a crowd reaction. Point me to a good Tamina spot. Point me to photos of her trying to improve in NXT. Point me to Lana injuring another woman.

I think Lana's a terrible wrestler and a great manager, Tamina's never shown any promise in anything and never has shown any dedication to improving that?

I think she looked good in her debut due to her having a semi-decent look. Since then she's been terrible.

I do not like the whole Olympic style.
At the time I was into Benoit, Edge and Christian, Stone Cole, The Rock, Jericho...Kirk Angel just never clicked with me.
Again, his off ring stuff? His sing along , all of the out of ring stuff with everyone was gold...
 
What a weird picture


Internally Jinder/Brock is considered not a big match. That says what they think of Jinder.

And yet he's been champ for six months already, so obviously they think enough of him to keep the belt on.

Seeing as Asuka is going to the ageist Raw Women's Division, how long is it until Alexa Bliss shames her for being old?

Nah, they burned that storyline too early with Mickie. Even WWE wouldn't re-use it that soon.

I'm not sure how you can be into Benoit and not into Angle. Kurt was pretty much the only person to ever match Benoit in-ring.

HOLY SHIT, Seth looks like Haitch here.

Overall as a talent, yeah, Lana is better. She's a better talker and character. But in the ring it goes back to the same argument I made for Cass vs. Jinder earlier. Tamina is bad and boring as fuck and knows barely anything, but at least she's been in the ring long enough to do things at all. Lana is just lost all the time and every single thing she does looks awful. At least Tamina can do a superkick and splash alright. Lana's got absolutely fucking nothing that looks anything approaching alright. They are both awful, but Lana is definitively worse.

The thing is that I don't believe Tamina does things at all. Her superkicks look okay and she bust her opponents jaw, or she falls down and looks like shit. Her splash has never not looked like she was terrified of doing it before it looks garbage. Outside of that I can't tell you anything about her in-ring work despite the fact she's been with the company for 7 years.

Lana's terible but and least she tried at some point and her snap suplex looks better than anything Tamina's ever done.


If they ever lose it and freak out to give someone they've jobbed for years a championship push I hope it's Rusev.

Jinder vs Cena

Cena will break Flair record and bring the title back, for America.

Been calling this for awhile. I feel it's pretty obvious, especially since Jinder has been ramping up talking about having some grand legacy lately and shit, too
