December Wrasslin' |OT|: It's the Most Carny Time of the Year
- Thread starter Avengers23
- Start date
Fuck the Young Bucks.
And fuck the GoD.
Evil and Sanada rule.
whiny and bitter Elite riding off into the sunset atop their echo chamber for worst storyline of 2018
Looking forward to multi-episode "...to be continued" freeze-frames at the end
Not the biggest fan of Darby prior to PWG. Dood was incredible live. Highly recommended.
I think that the WK card came together GREAT. Much better than late 2018 NJPW has usually been, Cody/Juice is the only real snoozer. It's gonna be a joy watching The Elite get shut out on their way out of town.
Also Eyes Wide Shut should be the center of any yuletide celebration.

IWGP Intercontinental Championship match: Chris Jericho (c) vs. Tetsuya Naito
Kazuchika Okada vs. Jay White
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship match: KUSHIDA (c) vs. Taiji Ishimori
IWGP United States Heavyweight Championship match: Cody (c) vs. Juice Robinson
IWGP Tag Team Championship match: Guerillas of Destiny (c) vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (SANADA & EVIL) vs. The Young Bucks
Revolution Pro British Heavyweight Championship match: Tomohiro Ishii (c) vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

NEVER Openweight Championship match: Kota Ibushi (c) vs. Will Ospreay
Gauntlet match for #1 contenders for the NEVER Openweight 6-Man Tag Team Championship
I'm pretty pleased with this card. That's a good number of singles matches, and yeah, the tag team championship matches get stuck into multi-man tag matches once again.

One of my favorite recurring gags in WCW was how many times the nWo fell for the shirt trick.
what did the Bucks or Cody whine about, and why would they be bitter?
one of the greatest cards of all time
6 bolded matches are going to be insane
also LIJ is fucking going over brothers, 2019 is the year of destino
Bucks and Cody whining about New Japan. "they don't pay us enough to be on the tour, there's no point in being Bullet Club anymore, we won't be there much longer anyways". Storyline or not it's the worst
Kenny whining about all criticism and being a dork on twitter
change da wurld
Acting like they're already done with a company but not in a satisfying story way, just feels like they're compeltely distanced from the product despite Cody being US CHAMP and Bucks getting thrown into the title match
I like all of those guys and I'm looking forward to whatever AEW ends up being but it's just lame
Since All In none of them have really done anything of note so it's just waiting around and staring at a stopwatch (a similar problem to New Japan waiting for WK)

Can someone make WWE's producers watch Rizin FF 14 or some old PRIDE tapes so they can learn what entrances should look like?
Speaking of which, we're in December, which means we're in Rizin FF season. And since Triple H's buddy, Floyd Mayweather, is on the card, maybe someone from WWE will be watching.
Boxing exhibition: Tenshin Nasukawa vs. Floyd Mayweather
Atomweight championship fight: Kanna Asakura vs. Ayaka Hamasaki
Featherweight championship fight: Kazuyuki Miyata vs. Erson Yamamoto
Bantamweight championship fight: Kyoji Horiguchi vs. Darrion Caldwell
Lightweight fight: Daron Cruickshank vs. Damien Brown
Flyweight fight: Ulka Sasaki vs. Manel Kape
Light heavyweight fight: Jiri Prochazka vs. Emanuel Newton
Bantamweight fight: Yuki Motoya vs. Justin Scoggins
Lightweight fight: Yusuke Yachi vs. Johnny Case
Atomweight fight: Rena Kubota vs. Samantha Jean-Francois
Lightweight fight: Nobumitsu Osawa vs. Tofik Musaev
Flyweight (?) fight: Shinju Nozawa-Auclair vs. Justyna Zofia Haba
No freak show fights on this Rizin FF card other than Nasukawa vs. Mayweather, which will be a mess since it will be under unique rules.

Did Kenny confirm in any way that he would be leaving after WK?
Hey, what about Crocop? Didn't he say he was gonna have his last fight at this event?
They've said they're sticking together with whatever they do next and Kenny's contract expires in January because he keeps doing one year deals
No one really knows what the deal would be with AEW and NJPW
I wouldn't be surprised if it's all a huge work, brother but it hasn't been fun to follow
this is my last bullet club shirt

I still think Kenny is going to retain at WK and drop the title later. But if Tana wins, I really hope that we get a Tana vs Kento champion vs champion match at that Baba show in February. Somebody has to make that happen.
having the biggest match at the biggest show of the year being about "muh stars, muh workrate" bullshit 4th wall destroying garbage is very disheartening
Yeah I agree with this one . I don't care about old Jericho.
this rules
Complaint: first, that Defendant's text messages to Plaintiff regarding the status of and potential response to a demand letter constituted an to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees in a protracted litigation for defamation; second, that as consideration, in return for Defendant "offering" to pay for hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees, Plaintiff' would not remove his own podcast episode for which Plaintiff, and not the Defendant, makes money; and finally, that defendant's conduct rose to the level of fraud based on the fact that he later stopped paying for Plaintiff's legal fees."

ROH is just as complicit and guilty as the McMahons. They're all garbage.

I agree that had Cabana not had Punk saying he'd take care of things, he would have folded when WWE came after him. Punk used his asssss.
The IC title's just giving Naito something to do for the first part of the year. He'll drop it to Sabre or Shibata (we all know he's going to try to come back even if it's a bad idea) around May-June then win the G1 again and win the title at WK14, aka the fabled Saturday Wrestle Kingdom that New Japan's been saying for years now they hope to sell out. And who better to sell it out than Naito?

Indeed. Anti-Omegaism is the unifying force between the Virgin Gedoists and the Chad Inokiists.
This is our savior, for now.

Dato's head might actually explode if Omega wins and Naito loses.

It's a match with no good outcomes.
1. Tanahashi as IWGP Champion, in 2019.
2. Omega retains the title and disappears for another 6 months until the G1.
I mean 3. Omega has a banger then shows the fuck up for the early 2019 stretch would be ideal IMO, but really depends on what new japan's plans actually are

Wrestle Kingdom
New Year Dash
Fantasticamania - he fucks around during this tour, if he's here at all
The New Beginning - he has a defense here
ROH/NJPW show at MSG - probably a defense here
New Japan Cup - the champion rarely participates during this tournament
Sakura Genesis - another defense
Wrestling Hinoki/Wrestling Dontaku - maybe another defense
Best of the Super Juniors - nope
Dominion - another defense
G1 Climax - matches, if he's even still around by this point
So, you're looking at maybe key matches at The New Beginning, the MSG show, Sakura Genesis, Hinoki/Dontaku, and Dominion before the G1.
Well I mean the same amount of big matches as anyone else would
If anything that's a problem with the New Japan schedule, but it's never bothered people before
