Those Young Lions are in for some brutal training with Shibata

 

Okada says he still wants to wrestle Finn, AJ, Shinsuke and Angle (he doesn't want to wrestle Karl Anderson). Would be really cool to see him put on some of these crazy matches over here. His English is pretty good too. A bit slower than Shinsuke, but not bad by any means.

 

I need Okada/Itami to happen

 

speaking of

 

Finn in Japan is my favorite thing.

 

Hasn't Okada said he's NJPW for life?

It also reminds me of that report from several months ago that once Vince found out how tall Okada was he fell in love with him

 

I'd say it is pretty likely. Dude is backstage at every big PPV tho. Such a tease.

 

I feel like Itami could get over on the main roster

 

I've been wanting it since he got signed and it makes even more sense now with the Brock situation, but I'd love to see Itami on the main roster with Heyman as his mouth piece. Just let him go full on strong style heel and have Heyman work his magic.

 

I want to see this whole match.

 

Did you see the bear "tattoo" he had on his knee?

 

I really like Itami a lot and am glad the rumors are false. I think he has a lot more to do and he does a whole lot more for me in the ring than Nakamura has since he came west. Not comparing them explicitly because they're both of eastern descent, just saying they fill different enough roles to where they both have a place as ass kickers from Japan.

 

haha omg

 

I love them

 

"Artist" heel you mean.

 

Aries is taking some time off.

“I’ve got some stuff going on, but just to be fair you could probably say that for a lot of the locker room. It’s kind of part of what we do, I don’t think anyone is ever 100%. So I got a couple things going on and obviously at this point it might be a good time to take a little break which really could consist of two days to just adjust some of those things, try and get my mind and my body right and then come back and figure out what’s gonna be next and what the direction’s gonna be.”

His girlfriend just signed with WWE though and may be a valet to Almas.

 

Maria and Mike Bennett should be showing up soon. They left TNA March 1 and are getting close to that three month mark. Not sure how they end up booking them. I feel like Maria is going to be super over, but Mike is a fresh face.

 

No doubt Aries comes back as a heel, and everyone wins in that scenario.

 

Aries should def come back as a heel once someone has dethroned Neville. Him v Cedric would be something Id watch all day

 

Good christ, the Ospreay/KUSHIDA match is incredible. Ospreay is gonna be massive considering how much his ring psych and selling have improved.

And I think the Essex Destroyer is my favorite version of the Destroyers.

 

Catching up on Lucha. Dario is the best commissioner. It's unreal how he gets EVERYTHING over when he is on the mic.

 

LONG LIVE THE CUETO CUP!

Im also trying to imagine the WWE fan reaction to the booking Mundo just got. So much interference and shenanigans...they'd probably bitch for months.

 

if maria comes out to her Zebrahead theme, i'm going to mark out.

 

I MISS ONE CARD IN FIVE YEARS AND I GET APWP SHANE O MAC'D OUT FROM UNDER ME? NOT HAPPENING

edit: i was sick in bed that whole weekend tho. i even posted about it in here

 

I'll still be posting cards. ER will just be ignored in the grand scheme. No title change until Balls of Fire (can't believe I'm typing that) but I'll come up with something for Battleground


MITB + GBOF, then BG is a bonus ppv, then Summerslam
