General WWE Discussion: Roman Weeps, Taker Retires, MNK/SAM/RDM LFP

[Vil]

Absolutely. The low points were pretty bad, but the rest resembled a solid B-tier show. The opener and final 3 matches were all great. For a free show, that was fantastic.

I don't know what they'll plan for tomorrow and I think they'll be announcing the full card at the start of the show like G1 Finals, but they really need to put LiJ vs. Elgin, KUSHIDA, Juice, Finlay, and White on the card. That was a shame tonight if that was someone's first exposure to LiJ 6/8/10-mans.

Curious to see what some sites had to say about this show, I found this line on Bleacher Report which is amazing. Hunter, sign him for excursion and keep him forever, please:

I always knew Yoshitatsu was wasted in WWE during his run. It wouldn't be surprising to see him pop up in NXT or on 205 Live after making a name for himself.

Tonight

Jushin Thunder Liger, KUSHIDA & David Finlay vs. Yoshitatsu, Sho Tanaka & Yohei Komatsu Six Man Tag Team Match

Jay Lethal vs. Kenny Omega IWGP United States Championship Semifinal Match

Tomohiro Ishii vs. Zack Sabre Jr. IWGP United States Championship Semifinal Match

Juice Robinson, Jay White, Volador Jr., Dragon Lee & Titan vs. Los Ingobernables de Japon (Tetsuya Naito, SANADA, EVIL, BUSHI & Hiromu Takahashi) Ten Man Tag Team Match

Michael Elgin & War Machine (Hanson & Raymond Rowe) vs. Bullet Club (Tama Tonga, Tanga Roa & Hangman Page) Six Man Tag Team Match

The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) (c) vs. Roppongi Vice (Rocky Romero & Beretta) IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship Match

CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, Jay Briscoe, Mark Briscoe & Will Ospreay) vs. Bullet Club (Cody, Bad Luck Fale, Yujiro Takahashi & Marty Scurll) Eight Man Tag Team Match

Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) vs. Billy Gunn IWGP Intercontinental Championship Match

Winner of Lethal/Omega vs. Winner of Ishii/Sabre Jr. IWGP United States Championship Tournament Final Match

Opening Six Man Tag is boring, and Tanahashi vs Billy Gunn has the potential to be a trainwreck (given Tana's current health and Billy Gunn being Billy Gunn), but the rest looks very solid. I have no idea what Ishii vs ZSJ will look like, but I'm very optimistic

[Krandor]

Oh no, it's JR and Barnett on commentary again for the English stream.

[Delirium]

I put on the Japanese commentary. I might not understand it, but it is still more enjoyable.

[Vil]

Yeah, I left the "it will begin soon" on, then walked back into the room and heard JR and was like "nope".

[Krandor]

It seems better then last night, tho JR did accidentally call Tanaka and Komatsu the Teriyaki Boys.

[Delirium]

I miss hearing "The House of Truth" when Lethal came out.

[Krandor]

Damn this match got going fast.

[Delirium]

Damn, that was crazy OWA

[Krandor]

Headbutting Ishii, wut are you doin ZSJ

[Kalmado]

I'm watching via NJPW World. I wanted to support NJPW and hopefully give some competition to the fed.

I switched from paying for WWE Neteork to NJPW world a few months back. Dont regret it at all.

I have a blind brother's credentials whom thinks nothing exists outside WWE, even though he's seen the magic of Okada, NJPW Nakamura, Iishii, Omega, and the rest. I'd rather have my dollars go to the program putting in real work vs Lavar Ball segments.

[Krandor]

Yoooo that submission sequence

[Delirium]

Ishii firing up is amazing

[Kalmado]

141 BITE got Zack!

[Krandor]

Killing it with this card so far

[Kalmado]

i'm so pumped for LOJ to be introduced to the American crowd!

[Kalmado]

And I'm super pumped for JUICE to be re-introduced to the American crowd. Juice has improved so much and I'm so supper happy for him.

[Krandor]

More Daryl, hell yeah
