An angle on a house show?

Interesting if true.

It's not unheard of for NXT, but yeah. An injury angle is a bit weird.

The Gargano/Dawson team idea sounds so fucking good after that triple threat where they all teamed against AOP that I hope the idea is that it happens and they win the belts with Ciampa turning on Gargano out of jealousy.

They did immediately segue into Sanity calling out anyone to fight and Ohno coming out immediately.

If it was an angle it'd explain how smoothly that went.

But still kinda odd.

If it's a angle maybe it's to play a story where only Gargano can properly climb and that'll factor into the end. Maybe even play into a split? With Garagano being pissed at Ciampa being useless and then kicking his leg out of his leg?

We'll see on Saturday

Oh god, Christian is talking about what was supposed to happen after he became The Rocks favourite wrestler and instead of doing the Peep thing, they just wanted him to wear white instead of black and call himself The Lock.

Luckily, when Vince heard the idea in a room instead of the plane with some wine, he hated it, but Christian thought he was going to be The Lock for at least a week.

I can't imagine Gargano turning heel on Ciampa down the line.

If anything Ciampa would be the heel and Gargano would be the face.
 
I love the OSW guys but man they randomly hate great matches...

Bitching that the crowd was into Roode/Nak at TakeOver because they hated it was pretty funny.

And thinking Asuka/Ember was terrible and going for a smoke during the match.

Them.claiming Allister Black will never get over was pretty funny

They are so much better reviewing bad wrestling...
 
Tanahashi has ruptured bicep and it is a full tear... but he's gonna wrestle at Dominion... fucking hell. I hope it's one match, he does the job, NJPW changes their plans and he gets surgery.
 
Isn't Ciampa supposed to take time off soon? Might be a prelude to that.

Finished Injustice 2 story mode, great game.
I need to start the story mode, I want to main black canary since she is fun but God damn I feel the way she is in her current form is garbage, she has no priority for any of her moves and nothing is safe at all unless you meter burn. I hope the first update treats her well.

God damn he really shouldnt wrestle. He was injured around this time last year. Give him time off to heal up, give Naito someone else to feud with.

Its crazy, Kidani just came out saying they are employing new health strategies and they let stupid bullshit like this go on.

Those games are always balanced so weird. It's fun playing her and Catwoman and pretending the game is Killer Instinct though.

Catwoman can use some toning down, her back heavy move that cause transitions is too good, it's fast as hell, range is bonkers, has weird invincibility and hitbox plus if it's blocked she is in a low stance so it's hard to capitalize on. Also to add on to my canary rant her counter is straight up ass, it reverses blue beetles psycho crusher move but not Catwomans equivalent, also doesn't counter high air normals. I am great with arrow but after maining him in the original I don't want to do it again for another few years since he plays exactly the same. Between this and Tekken I'm in fighting game heaven.

I did find it weird how many of the characters are identical to the old game from what I can remember. And just like in the old game they make you play as Batman a ton and he's not that interesting to play.

The Harley Quinn ripping off Alexa Bliss ripping off Harley Quinn color is great

Tanahashi has a fair bit of sway, if he wants to wrestle through injury then he's going to - with Shibata out he's probably feeling the need to carry on even more intently. Also, some details about the NJPW medical committee and new steps they're taking;

New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Medical Committee highlighted efforts to support the health and well-being of NJPW wrestlers. The Committee consists of a team including neurosurgeons, spinal specialists, orthopedic surgeons, and New Japan Pro-Wrestling trainers. Misawa elaborated, “The Medical Committee decides on the best course of action to deal with these circumstances,” referring to accidents during matches or training. The Medical Committee’s function in these scenarios is to quickly assess the best treatment and support the immediate follow through of that treatment through its network of professionals.

As of 6 years ago, all New Japan wrestlers undergo a yearly MRI and CT scan. This data is analyzed by the Medical Committee to assess each wrestler’s condition. Also, medical staff are on-hand at venues to monitor for health risks and help prevent injuries.

Finally, it was announced that the Medical Committee will limit the number of matches a wrestler may compete in during a series if there is any question over the wrestler’s health.
 
Speaking of Shibata, he's been moved to a general ward and is walking fine now after the paralysis he was experiencing on his right side. Honma's been moved to Osaka and is currently rehabbing to return to the ring, doing strength training and light cardio under doctor supervision. He's aiming to return to the ring sometime this year.

I don't get it. What does "The Lock" even mean?

Maybe you should learn to accept others' opinions without flying off the handle, excelsiorlef.

He was going to be like the white version of The Rock. Someone in the writing room just pitched Vince the idea while he was drinking wine and on a plane and he loved it at that point.
But why "Lock"? I'm still not following. Possibly because I'm half-asleep. >_>

Apparently (spoilers for up coming WWE story lines)
Vince sees Orton as the Roman of Smackdown. Also like I posted a few days back, Roman will start a feud with Miz. As Vince sees it as a way of getting the crowd to like Roman.
😂

They seemed pretty swept away in being at the event and taking it at face value rather than thinking about it much critically. Pretty sure those podcasts were recorded late that night of the events after a few drinks as well. Very weird tastes regardless.

This Undertaker/ H match at Manio 27 is the most obvious Undertaker/H match ever. These guys have nothing left to offer. Bury 'em under the Georgia Dome.

yeah i'm sure your criticism would be the same if it was Arn Anderson instead of HHH and they had the exact same match, zach 🙄

Arn Anderson can't wrestle in 2011, imBask, you lunar eclipse.

This was maybe more fun in the moment if you were wrapped up in this streak business and knew about H's dastardly ways behind the scenes.

I guess.
