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

[Xno Kappa]

Jesus Christ, that dude oversold the shit out of that pedigree lmao. Who was that?

[Krandor]

Marty Garner, I believe he later stated he assumed the move was a powerbomb since he had never taken it before.

For those that were interested just a reminder that NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 9 will be on PPV in about five and a half hours, 2AM EST. Replayed tomorrow at 7PM.

And also PWS will debut on CBS affiliate WLNY a couple hours after WK9 starts.

That's 7pm Est right? You think it will be on firstrow or 2stream(or w/e it's called)?

[Krandor]

I'm gonna wait for the evening broadcast, but I'm absolutely paying for that.

[Vagrant]

7PM EST yes and not sure if it will be on those sites. I haven't used any of them since the network launched myself but I did try and find ROH on there when they had their first PPV a few months back with no luck. For this one though I've shelled out the money for tomorrow's replay.

There is also something called Flipps app that the show will be available on. Not sure how it works or what the pricing is on it.

Final card for the event also

* reDRagon (Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly) © vs. The Young Bucks, Alex Shelley & Kushida and Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Titles
* Satoshi Kojima & Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Tomoaki Honma vs. Jeff Jarrett & Bad Luck Fale & Yujiro Takahashi w/Karen Jarrett
* Naomichi Marufuji & Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls & Toru Yano vs. Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr. & Shelton Benjamin & Takashi Iizuka
* Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Minoru Suzuki (UWF rules, meaning it can only end via knockout, TKO or submission)
* Tomohiro Ishii © vs. Togi Makabe for NEVER Openweight Title
* Ryusuke Taguchi © vs. Kenny Omega for IWGP jr. title
* Karl Anderson & Doc Gallows © vs. Katsuyori Shibata & Hirooki Goto for IWGP (Heavyweight) Tag Team Titles
* A.J. Styles vs. Tetsuya Naito
* Shinsuke Nakamura © vs. Kota Ibushi for the IWGP Intercontinental Title
* Hiroshi Tanahashi © vs. Kazuchika Okada for IWGP Heavyweight Title

Just pointing out also that technically the six man tag Jarrett is in could be considered a nWo vs. Bullet Club match. Both Tenzan and Kojima were members of nWo Japan(along with Chono, Muta, Scott Norton, fake Sting) back in the day while Jarrett, Fale, and Takahashi are all current Bullet Club members. The main event and the JR HW Tag title match should both be insane.

[Krandor]

The opening tag match will be fucking nuts. ReDRagon and the Time Splitters just had a pretty solid match at RoH Final Battle, so adding two more teams (with the Bucks doing their usual ridiculous shit) should be awesome.

[Kang]

I think that Marty Garner guy ended up suing WWE because he got hurt from that botched pedigree.

In other awesome wrestling shirts related to Wrestle Kingdom.

Well the Flipps app is absolutely booty (they're offering refunds to people for it apparently), but I still paid for it thru Flipps to give NJPW some of my cash and am now just watching a rip of the event.

Hearing JR call a Meltzer Driver is one of the most amazing things I've seen/heard in my entire life.

[Kang]

I just learned that the 2 ROH shows in Toronto in May are going to be ROH/NJPW ppvs (was originally supposed to be a ppv followed by a TV taping). I missed last year's ROH/NJPW show but not this time. Just got my tickets for both events.

[Vagrant]

AJ and Naito just put on a hell of a match there. Loved seeing the constant Styles Clash teasing throughout the whole match only for it to end with a top rope variety styles clash

[Krandor]

Wait til you see the German Suplex spot in the intercontinental match

[Krandor]

If you're on the fence at all about Wrestle Kingdom don't be. It's worth it entirely just to hear JR again, especially after he starts getting going about halfway thru.

[Vagrant]

Yeah I thought he was definitely starting off slow but that is easily chalked up to his unfamiliarity with a lot of the wrestlers on the card. I think he knew maybe three of them from working in WWE in the past? Everyone else was someone that he just probably wasn't that familiar with.

That main event though was awesome. Was kind of hoping Okada would pull off the win but both guys were damn good. Makes you wonder what the hell TNA was thinking when they had Okada just running around as a Kato knockoff to Samoa Joe's Green Hornet. Ibushi was another one I found myself pulling for pretty quickly against Nakamura and yes that german suplex spot was nice. Still liked the styles clash more though just because of the built in drama surrounding the move in Japan.

[Krandor]

Jerry Lawler is sidelined with diverticulitis so Booker T is taking his spot on commentary tonight.

Shucky Ducky etc

[Vagrant]

Time to make sure the mute button is working on the remote

King BOOOOKKKKAAHHHH?!

I hope Sharmell is behind him all night saying All Hail King Bookah!

[Krandor]

I think Booker is fucking hilarious. His commentary is so bad that it becomes good.
