Not to mention the guy was a complete scumbag behind the scenes. Ask Bobby Hennan, Mike Tenay, Gene Okerlund etc.

I went with 3 other people last year and I converted a good 5-6 other people to NJPW in the last year. I was gonna be rolling 10 deep, and I'm sure half of them could swing a Philly trip if it was on a weekend, but no, Wednesday. Fuck that.

Will Ospreay is a pretty decent talent, I can see him getting great sometime. His match with AJ Styles starts off pretty weird, since Ospreay is a fiery babyface but is in control of the match for a good 5 minutes or so and keeps it grounded, and his offense isn't that great for that kinda thing. But when Styles starts his comeback and takes control, it gets pretty fun. AJ really is one of the best wrestlers in the world right now, and makes Ospreay look good for hanging with him. I like that the Styles Clash gets MASSIVE HEAT whenever he goes for it now. Ospreay came out looking good (maybe too good?), and AJ puts him over big after the match.

You son of a bitch!

No new York show sucks
Sucks for people in NYC, but the Philly crowd will be super hot.
I just ordered 2 second row tickets for the second Toronto show on the Saturday. First row was all sold out. Came out to around $170. ROH is gonna make some bank on this, I hope.
If I can go to the show, awesome. If not, I'm sure I'll be able to sell the tickets or give them as gifts to friends.

you're sure about that statement?
I know this isn't a popular opinion, but... Unlike Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler has NEVER been good as a commentator.
Lawler is bad because his commentary is exactly the same every single time he's out there. Beat-by-beat, he says the exact same thing and has a routine. Undertaker's theme and lights out? Time to go "UWAH". You can set your watch by that crap.
I agree with this, but he did have some good moments though.

Yup. I'm pretty sure that the main reason people liked him back in the day was because they weren't used to him saying the same thing over and over again every day, by that stage.
Eh, only when he got beat up. I just... Wish that we would get a duo on par with Monsoon and Heenan again.
I wonder how many wrestling fans still believe that was real.
Sunny, want to do another round of polling? Some ideas:
-Do you think Daniel and Brie are really married?
-Does The Undertaker control arena lighting with his hands with supernatural powers?
Feel free to chip in, everyone.
"Did you really just spend $400 at a restaurant? I got a text from the bank that said you did."
With the way these four treat each other as couples they're clearly together for the show.

Hell son, let's take this to the OT. I'd make the thread but I'm on mobile and can't do it the proper justice.

Did any of you take me up on my wager proposition last night or are you all cowards?
I have another one: If you guys can get WWE or Daniel Bryan to respond of accusations of being anti-vax the way they did with Reigns' failed drug test, that would be a mighty fine bet.
I'm on my way out from wresting and I want to go out with a bang. Just spit balling here.

Does anyone have a favorite non WWE//TNA announcer?
I like to listen to Stu Stone from CWfH. He tries his best to be that heel announcer but knows the wrestling nostalgia by throwing shoutouts to the legends

They didn't balee when he de-declated.
They didn't balee when he won the Royal Rumble.
They didn't balee when he defeated Daniel Bryan.
But when the lights are bright, the crowd is hype, the electricity is in the air, once more he will declare. Roman Reigns, WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
They will balee come Wrestlemania 31.
Balee dat.

An even less popular announcer opinion. Don West was not a terrible announcer in the last few years of his TNA run. Heel Don West in particular was a lot of fun once he got his footing. I'd take him over TNA Taz any day.
strobogo just ran a perfect retirement angle. We can't book 2 in such a short period of time.
The current state of WWE has driven them to this in an effort to keep things relevant.
Obviously, picking Taylor Swift is like picking Kane gifs since it isn't 2012 anymore, but they'll find their way.... They'll... find.... their.... way.....
