Haha wtf

The Giant Baba Memorial show last night was so good. Tanahashi & Yoshitatsu vs Kento Miyahara & Daisuke Sekimoto as the main event, what a match.

Powerful image.

fwiw the aforementioned main event of the show is on NJPWWorld if you wanna watch it.

How much does NJPW World cost btw? And how impressive is their archive? Quite tempted to get, but not sure if I cbf

It's 999¥. The backlog is pretty much complete for the more recent stuff but it gets patchy going back into the Inoki years.

 

[sledger]

Quite reasonable then. Will investigate further.

Well the other day was one of flying knives at Titan Tower, most notably with Hideo Itami's exit. It's a shame it didn't work out, but he'll surely turn up for NJPW or AEW.

Wouldn't he slot straight back in with NOAH?

Yeah, that'd make sense. I can forget NOAH exists at times

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

He will definitely go back to NOAH.

FMD cancer didn't even get a full year going over Roman.




On a more serious note, great news. Chuffed for the bloke.

EC3 apparently relegated to losing to Apollo Crews on Main Event already.

How the **** does Vince look at Heavy Machinery, EC3 and Lacey Evans. And decide to mega push Lacey Evans, push Heavy Machinery and disregard EC3? Vince has gotta go.

 

[Athlai]

Holy ****.

Good to see that babyface HHH will finally get his big Wrestlemania match.

I suspect Batista asked to be heel and asked for HHH. Funnily enough I think that since his last return he’s kind of become a universally liked movie star figure and it’ll have the reverse problem of last time.

Regardless of armchair booking, the moment was pretty ****ing cool.

 

[sledger]

Yeah good stuff but HHH as face makes no sense whatsoever

 

[Athlai]

I don't think HHH will be "face", Batista will be a cool heel and HHH will be HHH that doesn't insult the audience and isn't even going to pretend not to want to pop the crowd with a massive WM entrance.

Either way, it makes no narrative sense as clearly his wife is going to be positioned as a major antagonist in the Rousey angle.

I'm looking forward to Ric Flair getting beaten up by Ronda next week. Then Becky will beat him up at Fast Lane. Kofi will beat him up for good measure at the Smackdown before Mania.
