My mate agreed with the Tanahashi/Okada hype (I've still yet to watch that match) but said that Okada/Omega is even better.
I have All Star Weekend on loan from him too which has a couple of Omega matches, so I really need to get on it.

First match to ever get 6 stars from David MeltzerQuote:

Wrestle Kingdom 11
I think I'll watch Okada/Tanahashi tonight.
This afternoon I have already watched some PWG and I can't decide if I hate the Young Bucks or not.
NXT Takeover: Brooklyn II next as I've been meaning to watch it since the initial good reviews.
He's back for the Rumble, so if they use it to set up a match against Boring Snowman then lol.Quote:

Stephanie is absolute AIDs. "Everything you've done will be meainingless if you don't get a wrestler who isn't on our brand to appear!"
Bit wank again in general but at least it wasn't another one of the ones they love on Raw just now where the card is basically the exact same as the previous week but with some slightly different talky bits.
Hopefully Jericho does some good stuff with the US title after weeks of Reigns barely seeming to remember he's meant to be proud to have it.
Might watch the rumble with some mates. The surprise entrants are the best part of the wrestling calendar, especially the ones who were never stars in the first place cus they're especially unexpected. Hoping for D-Lo.
It's gone.Quote:

I've been trying to decide whether I'll bother staying up for it if I move to these shifts that'd let me take the Monday off. There are enough good options for a winner that it feels inevitable WWE will pick a shitter.Quote:

Watch the last two matches because they are both amazing.
Start at 3 hours and 55 minutes.
Has there ever been a better debut than Jericho?

This promo was prophetic. It describes modern day WWE perfectly.
Bischoff turning up Raw was pretty ace just because it seemed to catch absolutely everyone out. Can't remember too many times that's happened.
The Dudley Boyz returning in 2015 came out of absolutely nowhere, as did Sting returning on the same show.
I might (definitely) be biased because I was there, but I reckon that's the best Raw of the last 5 years or so.
They blew the Eric Bischoff thing with the Booker T meeting. Had Vince McMahon just introduced him at the end it would have been incredible.
Kane turning up and ripping the cage door off was pretty great.Quote:

Shane's return was quite good, even if everything other than him toppling off the cell has been utter shit.
Did enjoy the Dudleyz returning too.

Right at the start of their mega-reign as well.
The utter nadir of ruined returns was when the entire crowd was chanting for Lesnar, so much so that Big Match John had to reference it in his promo before the 'surprise' return of Bork.
The best ruined return was when Bret Hart came back to host Raw. Even if it was billed in advance, there was a mega pop to be had with his music kicking the programme off, but they had that idiot announcer welcome him.
That reminds of when Shawn Michaels played his music during a promo just to mess with the crowd. Suckers bought it too.
Nuclear heat. HBK really was an amazing heel.
My friend had the great idea (after the event the useless cunt) that they should have done that with Daniel Bryan's music in that Royal Rumble Batista won, but then have Bad News Barrett come out and lol at everyone. There must have been about a million great opportunities to do it with the CM Punk music recently as well.
I only watched that relatively recently. Absolutely brilliant.Quote:

Watched the last one. Holy shit! Absolutely awesome.Quote:

How is his neck still... his neck?
The Dragon suplex off the top was the most outrageous spot.
Damn, Perry. Damn. :(
I thought he was past all that and doing better now. Somehow had a series of events before where he got shot stopping a woman from being raped to being a homeless meth addict.
Are the rest of the Radicalz Malenko's picture of Dorian Gray? Is he living in a beach mansion somewhere looking younger by the day?
Perry's the only one still alive. :(
Exactly. Christ knows what happens if he goes. Did Malenko ever dance with Too Cool?
UK tournament coverage just starting.
I think I quite like that belt.
I'd be surprised if that interviewer girl understood half of what "Tyson T-Bone" just said to her there.
It's not the Blue Peter Pin, Cole, you dickhead.
Jimmy Snuka has died
That's one way to get out of a murder trial.
The CWC match quality was generally better than the UK tournament but the booking of this as a coherent thing, because it was over two nights, was stronger.
And the second night of matches was a big improvement. A few really enjoyable matches tonight.
The fucking height of Bate even next to Balor, a midget by WWE standards, is hilarious though.
Finn Balor really shouldn't be allowed to cut a promo.
Looks like a tall midget :D Local lad though, few of my mates know him.Quote:

Kurt Angle in the HOF :cool:
*milf gif*
No. 30 in the Rumble, come on.
Kur Tangle. :cool:
I'd love him to have one more run.
I'll still maintain them not figuring out a way to get him back to stop Rusev at the peak of his powers was the worst thing they've done in the past 5 years.
In other news, What Culture had another Ospreay / Ricochet match earlier. Pretty good, definitely worth a watch.
I've still never seen the original one.
