The Orton promo was very good to be fair. Smackdown actually showing signs of life really tbf.

Raw on the other hand:laugh:

I thought RAW this week was decent enough. Just a shame the culmination of a reasonable show is Brock vs Roman again. Yawn.

SD was alright as well, but it really sucks when they can't find a way to get all the regular wrestlers on each week. I get that not having someone around every week makes them feel more special, but at the same time, having guys like Nakamura, Hardy, Styles either only appearing in-ring once every few weeks does nothing for momentum/making the audience care.

Also really hate it when the main babyfaces are made to look like total morons, as was the case in the Bryan/Miz segment. Made Bryan look a complete fool.

@athlai thanks for suggesting subscribing to njpwworld. Loving it. Watched some old matches and have last three four rounds of the G1 to catch up right now. Really enjoying. Will get back on my thoughts on some of the wrestlers and matches after being upto date with G1.

Flights booked; in Japan for the first week-and-a-bit of Jan. Think I'll be keeping the evening of the 4th clear.

That’s the price you have to pay for PPV quality matches during the week
The amount of great wrestling I have watched over the last 4-5 days, paid up for the whole month. Really looking forward to the end of the tournament now. Good mix of styles among the wrestlers.. big guys who can move, high flyers, technically sound wrestlers and then Zack Sabre is so interesting.

Right now my wrestling watching plan is to keep watching on njpwworld and watch WWE PPVs. Some of the times I have tried to watch Raw and SmackDown, I have had to just forward all the time. I am not a fan of the doubles matches they come up on these shows.

Which other wrestling should I watch from current feds? I tried watching Lucha Underground but didn't like how they kept switching camera angles. Makes it a pain..

Can't believe I'm saying this in 2018, but Impact is probably worth a look.

EDIT:
Or, alternatively, go down the rabbit hole of other Japanese feds and British indies.

Reddit NJPW sub section is quite good. Site keeps hanging on my chrome, so have to use the app on phone to read only which sucks. After the mention of reddit here a few days ago, have read it a bit last few hours. It is tolerable when one goes to particular subsections I guess.
