I really love that Bob Backlund is back.

Luke Gallows is the most boring and stiff wrestler. He looks like he is moving through sand. His mic work is terrible.

 

[klonere]

I have got to watch this

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Reading through the Bulletstorm thread and saw this post about Chikara game coming http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=206969843

 

[reptilescorpio]

So for those wondering why Corgan is now a minority stakeholder in TNA, per the Meltz



l m a o

I wonder how many more pay packets he needs to cover to gain majority lol

 

[Nocturnowl]

So wait, Corporate Kane makes a great match idea that Shane steals, then Shane claims him unworthy of running Smackdown and inserts himself in the role? fuckin' Shane is the real heel here, damn it all!

Jericho is tremendous

This is astonishing. I full realise that he's not top of his wrestling game - though I honestly think he could be, given a proper run again - but his promos, his leg crossing on the ladders, his general face these days... He's really doing great work.

Some shots I took last night at NXT.

Wait Mascara Dorada is in the CWC??

Stephanie did the same last week stealing Teddy's fatal four way idea. But I guess Shane still has more power

No, Gran Metalik is

A surprising amount of empty seats in the last pic, is it quite a big arena?

 

[British Monsoon]

Well, Okabayashi & Shiozaki vs Hino & Sekimoto was fucking amazing. A 30 minute tribute to Kobashi vs Kensuke, with an extra five minutes added onto the end and one of the most fucking brutal lariats you're likely to see. Sekimoto's probably on his way to the hospital right now, or at least he should be, he was definitely KO'd.

 

[Data West]

It's always a good reminder of what Shiozaki is capable of with competent bookers

 

[British Monsoon]

Screw Shiozaki, the real highlight was Nakajima not looking like a total geek for once. Can't Bushiroad just give Kobashi the book? Fortune Dream feels like what NOAH should be, making current NOAH the darkest timeline. Hell, even Maybach was awesome on this show.

Oh yeah, Otani, Minoru & Ultimo vs Fujita, Kodaka & Asahi was real good, unsurprisingly. Leona Fujinami did the legit worst figure four I've ever seen in my life ever and Akiyama rightly punished him for it.

 

[avengers23]

I have got to watch this

It sounded incredible, and I hope we get a Puro Drop of it soon.

 

[slightconfuse]

Are Crash Fans the Kane fans of videog ames? Or is that Sonic?

That Maybach/Shelton match also was pretty good for a Maybach match. Could he actually be improving? Zeus is probably most improved, but is it possible Maybach could enter the discussion?

 

[slightconfuse]

Kobashi needs to find a Fourth Hoss. Get Zeus in there!

 

[XenoRaven]

Definitely Sonic.

Crash fans are people who want something that was never all that great to begin with to be a bigger deal; which obviously makes them the Dolph Ziggler fans of video games.

I can't live in a world where Maybach is good. I can't.

Kobashi booking NOAH, be still my beating heart.

I need to see this tag match though it sounds unbelievable.

Capacity is 11,000 IIRC but NXT onky used about half of that. That said whoe crowd on fire the whole time. Feel for Angelo Dawkins he came out wearing orange and blue sparking chants of Irn Bru which drew a confused look, over here it is a popular soft drink made by Barr and his tights resembled the cans they use.

 

[klonere]

I wonder if the Hardy's bought the drone camera they used for their shitty little storyline themselves because if TNA paid for it instead of workers they owe money to instead....

They had drone shots for other promos, so I guess it's TNA's?

Still a good figure then. Being he was in orange in Belfast it could've been worse.

lmao

The wrestling show in Dublin I went to a few weeks ago had the tag champs from up North come out with a full Orange marching band style thing. OTT is definitely not doing anything to ease sectarian tensions

 

[Kaladin]

That wasn't a good Raw, it wasn't a bad Raw, it was the Raw.

Actually Cena and AJ's contract signing was legit. They've really built AJ Styles up to the point where he has to win this thing clean, and then win the feud. It has to be decisive. Like many other Cena feuds like this, they could either make a top guy or break a top guy.

I'm very curious as to how the night will go with the title. I can see Ambrose winning MITB and setting up a Shield triple threat by cashing in. It makes so much sense WWE probably just thought of it last night for that segment with plans to have Chris Jericho win his first MITB or something. I'm looking forward to Rollins vs Reigns and that MITB match.

I seriously can't remember a PPV with 3 amazing main event matches that I was equally looking forward to, and an undercard that should produce aside from that god awful women's match. Natalya vs Charlotte is becoming ADR vs Sheamus.

 

[Ithil]

Time to head off to NXT Dublin, it's a long drive. Should be great.

 

[Sephzilla]

So friends... God of War... I'm not sure how i feel. It visually looks fucking great and I like that they're seemingly putting more emphasis on story but... that gameplay looks bland.

 

[klonere]

See you there friendo.

 

[Aiii]

John Cena can put a fucker over on the mic like no one else. Can't give him enough credit for his work these past years.

yeah but guys like him bury guys like AJ

my favourite part of the New Era is when Reddit started writing the dialogue.

 

[Autumn Wind]

So I enjoyed the Full Metal Mayhem between Matt and Jeff Hardy but it was clearly built around Jeff using Matt to set up the next spot and didn't feel much like a 1 on 1 match.

 

[Fox318]

John Cena can put a fucker over on the mic like no one else. Can't give him enough credit for his work these past years.

Its probabaly because he gets the freedom to not use or at least go off script.

How many backstage promos do you see with Cena where he cant look into the camera ala Ryback?

 

[Anth0ny]

So friends... God of War... I'm not sure how i feel. It visually looks fucking great and I like that they're seemingly putting more emphasis on story but... that gameplay looks bland.

yup, another case of "looks great but will probably just be an ok game".

had a lot of that at the two big conferences yesterday...

Haha wow, that's one way to get heat. I really hope they're called The Order.

That freedom didn't come falling out of the air out of nowhere. He started with the exact same opportunity like everyone else. In fact, he wasn't even WWE's golden boy around that time. Cena created his spot, whether you like it or not.

 

[slightconfuse]

chikara game coming to xbox?

 

[klonere]

Haha wow, that's one way to get heat. I really hope they're called The Order.

Nah I think that'd be a little too on the nose. They are called Kings of the North, they've actually got a pretty great look going.

 

[Sephzilla]

But Insomniac + Spider-Man made me lose my goddamn mind (in a good way)

 

[slightconfuse]

Souls of War looks neat.

Horizon looks dope

Actually excited for a David cage game

 

[Aiii]

When I saw the pop-up that said "Tracking +25" I groaned.

God of War is a linear hack'n'slash. I don't need that fucking exploration bs in my God of War. Stick your open world gameplay where sun don't shine.

 

[Data West]

It's not open world

God of War's direction change looks like some hard attempt at appealing to games journos 'man these games have such PATHOS' shit.

 

[Fox318]

That freedom didn't come falling out of the air out of nowhere. He started with the exact same opportunity like everyone else. In fact, he wasn't even WWE's golden boy around that time. Cena created his spot, whether you like it or not.

He started out with the ability to talk and a look but if it wasn't for Heyman's smackdown and working with guys like Angle he never would have made it.

Closest thing to a modern day Vince guy who is a main eventer is Orton and he isn't a great promo.

Plus Cena didn't have 3 hours LIVE to try and fill.

Even if Roman had any talent he still would have issues.

 

[Sephzilla]

Days Gone looked like some of the most uninspired shit, and I'm surprised Sony closed the show with it. It looks like a generic brand Last of Us with a gimmick of "there's a ton of zombies on the screen". But then the zombies immediately lost all of their luster when they show random biker man mowing down a couple hundred of them.

Souls of War looks neat.

Horizon looks dope

Actually excited for a David cage game

I'll give the game a chance, but David Cage tackling a Blade Runner-esque topic is almost destined for some unintentional hilarity.

 

[Aiii]

It's not open world

When I'm levelling "tracking", it's fucking open world gameplay in my God of War.

That's the same shit they put in Tomb Raider, I'm gonna be hunting deer instead of killing Titans and that's dumb as fuck and I don't need it.

 

[Data West]

Emotional Resonance is the new Visceral

 

[slightconfuse]

oh and whatever the hell that kojima game is with naked norman reedus seems crazy as hell

 

[Aiii]

Given that Dolph Ziggler and Baron Corbin’s rivalry began with a face-plant on the floor and progressed to include a pair of low-blows and a vow of ultimate destruction on The Lone Wolf’s part, where could the two Superstars possibly go from here? Well, at Money in the Bank Kickoff, we’re about to find out.

That’s right: As revealed on WWE's official Snapchat account, the two-time World Heavyweight Champion and reigning Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner will battle yet again on June 19, marking the third straight confrontation between The Showoff and his rival on a major pay-per-view stage.

lol. lol lol lol.

 

[Data West]

I'm interested in seeing what Spider-Man is and Detroit is going to be some Brother Nero level hilarity.

Nothing else at the conference interested me. Don't get the appeal of Horizon at all beyond 'it looks nice' which isn't enough for me.
