WARNING: commentary is loud and sweary

Toni Storm laughing her ass off and Charli Evans and Ridgeway losing their shit behind Kyle is great

I love the understated ending so much. Shoko going for a role-up that's obviously not going to work because it's her only chance feels so much more organic than all the 1 second off from victory finishes this year, though obviously those come with there own kind of drama. Then there's all the little things like the crowd losing it when Yuu pulls off the basic Backdrop with her arms butterflied or the final strike exchange where Shoko gets flawed with the first two chops but then refuses to go down. It's such a good example of how less can be more both in regards to the match length and the reliance on graps/positioning so that even strike sequences mean something beyond looking as cool/violent as possible. Not that the latter's a bad thing given another of my favourite matches this year was just non-stop sincere murder in a 8 minute bout.
Yeah, they do so many things right with this match, it's great.

Great match. The triple threat was super fun although Hinano's too reliant on the crying gimmick.
That match was super entertaining, yep! Hinano's crying gimmick should be close to overstaying its welcome but they do keep finding ways to do something new with it.

I'm starting to think I'm in the minority of people that love the Haruka Neko/Yuna Manase match a lot because no one talks about it.
When it started and Haruna couldn't reach Yuna's hand, so she just punched Yuna in the stomach I was immediately a fan of Haruka.

At least Hinano switched it up a little by crying whilst flirting with Nodoka. I'd rather have her go for more and more elaborate crying gimmicks until she gets a better grasp of ring work.

It was a little too short for me to love it but I think Hatuna's showing some potential and she hasn't got lost in a match yet where as there were points where Pom was being dragged into position by Yuka. I'm also more impressed with Yuna for randomly liking one of my pro Natsu winning the white belt tweets than anything in the match which clearly moves her into TJPW Ace contention behind Rika.

My new favorite promotion is the one with demonic Ronald McDonald and the military assassin lady?

Yeah, Pom's debut was decent but even I could tell that that Yuka had to help out a lot.
I guess I don't have anyone to compare them to in TJPW besides the Up Up Girls who were doing way less stuff than either of them when they started.

Yuna in her kind of a sexy cop outfit teaming up with Natsu would be something.

I was impressed with Neko. Hard to judge so soon but she looks better than Pom, although Pom pulled off a nice step-up leg drop.

For your consideration this Carnies season:

Teddy Hart vs. Pentagon Jr.

AAW ran a match last year at the Windy City Classic that was Hart vs. Penta vs. Janela vs. Fox. After the match Teddy gave his usual overly long speech and said how he helped trained Pentagon and it's a dream match for them to wrestle. Suddenly they square up like they're gonna have a match right there and the crowd is hyped. But nothing is happening. The crowd is waiting. Teddy says "where's the ref? can't have a match with no ref" but no ref is coming. They eventually just walk backstage

Months later, AAW announces that the match is finally happening! They've booked it in April for their Never Say Die show

The match happens and it's solid for a few minutes. Then Pentagon does the arm break and Teddy is "hurt" and can't finish the match. Pentagon doesn't want to fight, but Teddy lies on his back still trying!! "THIS IS THE DREAM MATCH!!!!"

Pentagon wins and then gets on the mic and says "I am no winner. Please AAW, book this match again"

Teddy hasn't been back since.

Will "the dream match" actually happen for realsies at MLW?

Was listening to the POST Wrestling podcast this morning, and Wai & Pollock don't really think it's too great of an idea for Asuka to be feuding with Becky and Charlotte. Because "the crowd obviously likes Asuka, but they like her less than Becky, so that could cause some problems, or have people turn on Asuka."

You also have people starting to crawl out of the woodwork claiming that Asuka didn't earn a title shot. Like that JD guy someone linked earlier. I guess Asuka shouldn't be in the title picture because she didn't have a massive winning streak like Becky did, according to him. And nor should she until she runs through the entire Smackdown Women's Division like what Becky did.

WWE struck while the iron was hot for once with Asuka, lets see if they can keep it up. Because if Becky is going to face Ronda at Wrestlemania, then she needs to drop the title soon. And the crowd would completely shit all over a Charlotte win at TLC now.

some? lol

just look at this very thread.
has anyone here written messages directly to people signing saying they're making mistakes and being selfish?

it's crazy, i know, but you can recognize that The McDonalds Of Wrestling is the end game and safe money for someone's career and also recognize that WWE/NXT is not putting out the same wrestling product you get from the indies

the fact that Punk said well before All In "give me an offer, don't just say *come do something* " and they still did the exact thing he said he wasn't interested in is amazing

"I know Cody was out there in the media saying that an offer was made [for the All In event Sept. 1]. An offer was not made. Calling me up or texting me saying, 'Hey, if you want to come to the show and do something, we would love that' is not an offer. That's not an offer."

If we weren't all fatigued by WWE's current attempts at building heel heat, they'd have a good angle on their hands for Asuka turning on Naomi soon. Those two have done a great job getting the message across that they are close friends, unlike Ronda and Natalya which nobody buys because we all expect it to end in a split. It will be funny if the Ronda/Natalya friendship outlives Asuka/Naomi but gets none of the heat.

the wwe network site is a mess. You search for Takeovers for example, and its not even in order, its all a jumbled mess. Why cant I just have a menu with all Takeovers in order, is that so hard?

It's in order for me, by date. But actually go to Takeover section. If you just search, you get anything with Takeover in the data. So you'll get NXT shows that have "Fresh off his win at Takeover," etc.

This was a pretty decent match with some good moments. Shame about the quiet crowd though.


That's what I feared

I subbed to RevPro for the last batch of cool matchups I wanted to see and the crowds ruined it for me. Idk if it's just how they're mic'd or what but it just sounds dead with people halfheartedly trying to chant sometimes

York Hall is full of bellends

Everywhere else is mostly casuals and families
