Well, hell, don't listen to me, then.

For a while, the only thing that was happening was Dunne and the others having to miss shows they were booked for because WWE was conveniently running shows on the same day. Guess that's all changed. I haven't kept up with the UK as much lately so I wasn't aware.

As much as I like NJPW, once that new Tv deal kicks in, they'll roll over like the UK did.

Have we ever seen a 1% beat the 99% market share?

I mean, part of the UK rolling over was that PROGRESS, who was arguably the leader of the UK scene at the time, was owned by three guys who were, first and foremost, marks. And I absolutely hate to use that word - I almost never do - but it applies here. Jim Smallman in particular was all too willing to enter into an agreement with WWE because he so badly wanted to believe everything they were telling him about how it would benefit both companies. He was the first domino, and when he fell, it became very easy for the WWE to cruise on through Europe and sign most anybody they felt like.

NJPW is in a very different situation. They've got an uphill battle, but they also have a never-back-down attitude to go with the fact that they're just plain pissed off in a lot of ways.

Yeah, I think that's fair. WWE wants their roster to have high-floor, low-ceiling, safe matches. The members that take a few risks sometimes are definitely going to stand out some.

I'd probably put her in the same tier as Kairi Sane myself but that may be not having seen enough of her stuff. I only really watched her feud with Meiko Satomura and I came out of that one more impressed with Meiko than Kairi. Not to say Kairi isn't great or anything.

But yeah Mickie is really good. She's not the most athletic or jaw dropping in the world, but she has a really good sense for what she can and can't do and what makes sense in a match given the build, which a lot of men can't even do. Like I remember in that feud with Becky Lynch I was talking about... they started with a lock-up but it was like... INTENSE, you know? Like they rolled out onto the floor and ept the lock up on each other and were all like RARRR.

Which it should have been because there was bad blood there. Meanwhile you see Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins have a match start with a lock-up and it's... a lock-up. And I'm like "WHOO LUNATIC FRINGE"

IMO this is more a problem with WWE in general than anything and it's one of the big reasons I stopped watching.

Well I'm probably top 5 on the board in terms of watching joshi stuff (almost certainly behind voltch, Tom, NBIceman, might be number 4) and feel confident in saying Mickie more than holds her own against most of them.

I would tend to agree, especially in modern Joshi. Mickie doesn't touch the Shirai sisters or the Meiko Satomuras or the Kairi Sanes or Asukas of the world, but those are women who've each had stretches where they had arguments as some of the best wrestlers in the world. Mickie is 100% as good as a lot of the Joshi wrestlers that aren't in that tip-top echelon.

Eddv's been a spoilsport for a while now. Don't know why, but he seems negative on WWE recently...moreso than usual.


When literally every other source of wrestling is peaking its hard to not be down on WWEs utter squandering of talent.

And Rusev just...isn't good. He and Aiden are real "fast forward" fodder for me.

There's probably no one in this topic that's more upset about WWE's squandering talent than me, but Rusev is one of those talents being squandered IMO.

Eh. Owens has done well for himself.

You dont need to be at the "entire show revolves around me" level to be a star. Plus he already had that once and frankly it was only okay.

If you're talking about when he was the champion, the whole show didn't revolve around him. It revolved around the Authority. That was the whole issue.

unfortunately it all but confirms my worries that Naito will not be main eventing Wrestle Kingdom this year.

How are you figuring this? To me the most obvious path is having Naito beat Kenny in block play, win the belt at KOPW, and defend against G1 winner Okada at WK.

I think I agree with Lopen mostly

Bayleys current character work is so lacking because shes so beaten down mentally by the writers, but it is ultimately on her. No one is telling her to be bland.

Wrestlers are only human. It's like in anything. You can't expect anyone to give you their best work if you're not giving them anything worthwhile to sink their teeth into.

As always, take this with a grain of salt since I don't watch the product anymore and I'm just speaking generally, but it seems unfair to blame someone who has shown tons of ability in the past.

How do you split up Omega, Ibushi, Okada, Naito and Tanahashi group wise this year?


Five blocks!

For real
Omega/Tana/Naito in one block
Okada/Ibushi in the other

Yeah, I'd be shocked if this isn't what happens. I don't think Tana matters nearly as much at this point, though. You could put him with Okada now and it wouldn't matter a whole lot. Their story's over.

And if this is what we get, we're probably headed for Naito winning the belt off Omega at KOPW and Okada going in as G1 champ.

- No car in Mario Party so... cautiously optimistic
- Octopath, but I've been excited about that for a while now
- Smash, obviously

I would say FE but after Awakening and Fates I don't trust IS enough right now. Gonna have to see more before I commit. It does look interesting though.
