Honestly that's a hammer blow for Japanese wrestling. The Tanahashi/Okada rivalry got me back into NJPW. That coupled with Styles/Nakamura/Naito also in the main event scene made it a must see promotion.
Hate see New Japan floundering now. With Osprey gone too they've now no major stars to feud with Naito.

Also, I've no faith that AEW will book Okada properly. Their main event scene should be incredible with all the talent they have. But they've fumbled too main Heavyweight Champion reigns.
If Okada goes to AEW, he'll pop up on JNPW time to time, just like Ospreay will.
If he goes to WWE, all depends on his English I guess until he's watered down as foreign heel of the month.

One segment between these two is all it took to make Punk/Rhodes a must have feud.
They're by far the two best talkers in wrestling.

So they finally did it.
I assume it will be live and not with a delay or something?
Oh, it's only in America & UK...

The entire article is horrific. Alleges that McMahon raped her multiple times then pimped her out to John Laurinaitis and Brock Lesnar.
Vince has resigned entirely from TKO and WWE. Slim Jim have paused their partnership with them over the allegations and other partners were threatening to pull their deals entirely.
Womens Rumble was kinda flat at most, few bright spots. Jordynne was awesome, Jade! And Bailey doing it.
By Lupercal Go To PostWomens Rumble was kinda flat at most, few bright spots. Jordynne was awesome, Jade! And Bailey doing it.Chelsea should have won it.
Men's Rumble was fine, nothing really stood out to me?
Punk looked like shit though, he and Cody really don't have good in ring chemistry it seems.
So Cody v Roman again and Punk either Seth or Drew, depending on if Seth is cleared?

I said Punk looked like shit, was probably an injury then.
Dude came back for that Mania main event and now it's all fucked.
Maybe we can think about putting Rhea v Becky in the main event.

By domino Go To PostPunk couldn’t even make it 1 match without getting hurt cmon man 😂The main event scene in American wrestling is fucked. Omega, Danielson and Punk have gotten to the stage where they can't wrestle more than a few months without picking up a significant injury. Rollins is hurt again and Reigns is a part timer.
bum ass wrassler cm phil would come back to get his big wrassle lamia moment only to get injured beforehand.
this is proof that the universe works somehow.

I forgot about Adam Cole as well. Headlined one of the biggest wrestling crowds ever and has been injured since. Missed like a year of wrestling through concussion not too long ago also.
damn dutch is saying this demented old bastard has a shit fetish
no wonder triple clown's wife doesn't let him around the kids, probably had a hard on when he was changing diapers.
sick.

Royal Rumble was properly lame and predictable. Cody winning was predictable as soon as Roman won. The Fatal Four Way basically negated the entire rumble, which was also predictable that Roman would win.
The worst was KO vs Paul...who wrote that ending? Owens should be walking with that belt right now, nobody gives a fuck about Paul.
HHH needs to end this Vince-era nonsense of title-holding records. It's horrible and makes every title match feel absolutely useless.

Nah, he's awful on the mic and has no business holding on to a title that seasoned guys in the company have a right to have. It should be KO's > Dom and Nick's > unsuccessfully challenged by Rey Mysterio > and then challenged by Escobar, etc.
If anyone deserves to hold on to their title throughout 2024 it's Mami, who's basically a face in a heel's disguise. Otherwise, it's time for a new set of title holders across the board. Roman has to go, Cody takes the belt, and The Rock needs to become the defacto Tribal Chief/Head of the Table and son Roman Reigns.

Damn, also I wonder where Undertaker will fit in all this? All signs point that he also was a very close friend of Vince.
he was the one fucking while vince was doing the doo doo
bet.
all those nine line shirts mean something.

By data Go To PostRock cant move a body part without gassing outnah he got this
They've totally undermined Cody's character and everything he's built up since returning.
Vintage WWE

They really waited until he signed that new contract to screw him over lol
Rock is going to be gassed in 2 minutes so expect a lot of fuckery.
On the level of Sting VS HHH

Meltzer is reporting that the Punk injury forced WWE to change their plans. That's a very tenuous justification I think.
Rock has been politicking for this match for a year and got his way. Cody set his stall out to win the Roman's title, the title his father never managed to win, to finish his story etc.
They've now managed to make him look like a loser. Twice.
