Night 2 card

It's notable that the night 2 match between Naito and Ibushi is just for the IC title so they might *finally* be separating the god damned belts.

Man, I really don't care about New Japan tag matches. Will definitely watch the major singles bouts from these shows, though.

Man Total Divas made Cena and Daniel Bryan come off kinda weird meanwhile Miz & Maryse are extremely likeable throughout that show and theirs(though theirs comes off even more scripted)

Kinda makes me want to go back and catch more of his wrestling.
Miz's show actually made me a fan of his because he comes off as so likeable.

The Lauren Boebert vs Stan Lane news is pretty insane by wrestling standards





Here's Jim Cornette talking about the paternity suit without knowing who Lauren Boebert is

So apparently Cameron Grimes promo is actually kinda real and he actually did buy GME and AMC stock completely oblivious to the Stonks situations and managed to cash out on it.

Mutoh joins arguably the most elite club in pro wrestling now haivng all 3 of the 'big' belts.
only other people to do that are Takayama and Sasaki

Go for LIJ to replace EVIL

An even more hype moment involving Kenta than the forbidden door being opened.


Biggest "Wait a minute, what the fuck? What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK?!" moment in wrestling in decades.

If only for that moment.

Shibata was my guy, is my guy, and I miss him dearly. The best I could hope for now is that the LA Dojo leads that company into the promised land.

Just when you think El Phantasmo can't look any uncooler than he already does.

He's solid but man does he have the anti-look.

There is absolutely no chance Mayu signs with any western promotion and moves over here. She's talked about this kind of stuff in the past, and said that being outside of Japan for long periods of time severely impacts her mental well being.
maybe if WWE does another event in Japan. But yeah, I don't see Mayu coming into WWE. She's already dot it good in STARDOM.

I would feel the same way if I had wrestled in ROH's womens division.

Seeing that Bianca is the Royal Rumble winner. It would have been a no-brainer. Vince still keeps pushing her even in the most awkward of events.
Vince is absolutely convinced Charlotte is the face of the women's division despite being the least popular of the 4HW (and likely Asuka and Alexa as well) by a wide margin. Doesn't help that she sucks both as a face and a heel, and comes across as naturally unlikable, even in real life if what she wrote in her book is true about the Sasha/Charlotte belt hotshotting thing.

True. Wait, Charlotte wrote a book withing her career? Most wrestlers would wait after their career was at their mid-point. I guess I should be surprised cause Jericho did the same thing.

The explosion of wrestler books around the Attitude Era was put out by still active wrestlers. Hell those tend to be the most popular ones.

Also I have to imagine there are atleast some wrestlers that look at the US and go "I'm...not fucking living there. They're flinging poo at each other and setting everything on fire."

Yeah. I should mention I was mistaken about the belt flip flopping thing, the quote was actually referencing something earlier than that, and as for the quote in question, here it is from Charlotte defending herself in an interview about her running down Sasha in her book:

Not being as popular as Sasha at the time. She's one of the greatest performers today. She will go down as one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time. I don't want to say that necessarily that Sasha was mad, but Sasha is that competitive. That's why she brings out the best in me and I bring out the best in her is because she wants to be the best and I want to be the best. At that time if I was to put myself in Sasha's shoes: she had just come off Brooklyn against Bayley. One of the greatest matches. She probably in her mind thought "why isn't the title going to me?" I can't blame her for that. I just think it was hard for me knowing that I wish people could be more understanding that I needed the title to make me, and she didn't.

Emphasis mine.

Unless I'm misinterpreting it, that quote almost sounds like Charlotte arguing she needed the title more so she could get over/cement herself while she considered Sasha already over by putting on those Bayley bangers.

I've heard more Ric Flair name drops in Hip Hop than any other media.Even wrestling itself

Man exemplifies the words "drip" and "flex"

Lol, just saw the bit of Dynamite where Darby gets dragged off in a body bag, what really sold the moment for me is that the car has zoomed off into the distance, and then it cuts to Sting power walking up the ramp like he's just gonna catch up and maybe pull a WCW/NWO Revenge intro Truck stoppage
