Just to confirm, Nikolai Volkoff, Brian Lawler and Brickhouse Brown have all passed away. Very sad day for pro wrestling.

[Delirium]

Brickhouse Brown was declared dead a few days ago then was found alive a few hours later. It was a crazy story.
Brain Lawler committed suicide while in jail.

[Melena]

Holy shit was just going to say I thought Brian just got arrested

[Anoat]

God damn, what a day.

[6souls]

I was reading about Lawler's early career and while I remember his tag team partner Scotty Too Hotty, I don't remember Lawler at all. His dad, though...

[NynJa]

Probably because they never really mentioned he was Jerry's son.

[6souls]

Probably because they never really mentioned he was Jerry's son.

I don't remember the character, though. Just not iconic enough for me to give any fucks about.

[Tyrath]

How can you remember Scotty and forget Grandmaster SEXAY

Catching up on G1, Sanada vs Ibushi was amazing. They are so athletic.

[Krandor]

Just getting back to reality after 3 months at sea, what are the G-1 matches I need to go back and watch?

Dat 7 star match is first on the list tho.

[Vil]

Naito-Omega, Omega-Goto, Goto-Ishii, Ishii-Ibushi are all the heralded matches in order. ZSJ and Sanada have also had a few very good matches as well, and had a fun one together. Juice has been fine too, but if you're picking and choosing, probably just his Naito match. Yano's matches have been perfectly fine too. Most of Tama's matches are bad, though one was enjoyable. I'd just pass on all of them.

There's another block, but who cares, lol. Some of them are quietly doing well in their matches, but I think I saw something on reddit that the top 10 match ratings on cagematch or whatever are all from B and that is no surprise.

[Krandor]

Yeah I got about 3 months of TV (and video games) to start catching up on so watching full broadcasts of the G1 up to now is a Hard No

Just getting back to reality after 3 months at sea, what are the G-1 matches I need to go back and watch?

Dat 7 star match is first on the list tho.

G1 Special - Hiromu vs Dragon lee(warning there is a pretty bad injury in this match, Jay White vs Juice Robinson, Kenny Omega vs Cody
G1 Night 01 - Tanahashi/MiSu. Maybe White/Okada and Elgin/EVIL
G1 Night 02 - Ibushi/ZSJ, Omega/Naito. Maybe Goto/Sanada
G1 Night 03 - Makabe/MiSu. Maybe Page/Elgin, White/Tanahashi
G1 Night 04 - Ibushi/Juice, Naito/Ishii , Omega/Goto
G1 Night 05 - Okada/Page
G1 Night 06 - Naito/Juice, Ishii/Goto
G1 Night 07 - Yoshi-Hashi/Elgin
G1 Night 08 - ZSJ/Ishii, Ibushi/Sanada
G1 Night 09 - Okada/Yoshi-Hashi
G1 Night 10 - Ibushi/Ishii, Omega/Sanada

WWE stuff - All NXT Takeover: Chicago except the women's match. There was a UK tournament that was a two day thing. It was a fun watch, but for sake of time watch the finals and the title match between Undisputed Era/Mustache Mountain. They had a rematch on NXT TV that was worth watching. NXT TV also have Black/Ciampa which is a must watch. I'm sure Seth Rollins had a good tv match or two in the past few months, but I can't remember when exactly.

ROH Stuff - Jay Lethal vs KUSHIDA, if you can find it.

Impact - Pentagon vs Sami Callahan in mask vs hair match, if you can find it.

Joshi stuff - Io Shirai and Tam Nakano/Kagetsu and Sumire Natsu in an exploding baseball bat match, Io Shirai/Meiko Satomura, Io Shirai/Momo Watanabe, Io Shirai/Meiko Satomura/Hiroyo Matsumoto

[Vil]

Young Bucks/Ibushi vs. Mysterio/Fenix/Bandido at All In

So it's got to be Omega vs. Penta and/or Lethal, right?

[Delirium]

They might do Omega vs Lethal for All In, NJPW vs ROH champion. However, I feel they could do that at any time with the relationship between the 2 companies. However, Omega vs Pentagon may never happen anywhere else. It would be a good opportunity to have that match. They could also do a 3-way which might be good for everyone involved. I would imagine we will hear what Tessa, Britt, and Chelsea are doing before Kenny though.

[Anoat]

Lana vs Zelina Vega on SD this week in the battle of tiny women

[Tyrath]

Lana is tiny?

[Kalmado]

I started watching Slammiversary and the action was good. got up to Su/Madi match but was tired so stopped watching before it started. Josh Matthews is still grating on the ears but Callis is obviously the star. Crowd constantly chanting was annoying, but it was kinda nice in the respect they really love their product.
