Nice of him to go back to his old face.

New Japan have cancelled all their shows from 1st-15th March. Which rather fucks the first half of the NJ Cup.
Do you think they might actually bring in coronavirus into the story?
Samoa Joe suspended for 30 days.
How would we notice the difference?
Well he was currently out as he picked up a concussion whilst filming an advert...
Not really, they might make something of it being rescheduled or someone might mention that delay in a promo but the actual booking will be in place already.Originally Posted by Ollenner
....oh it's his torso.
Fuck sake Vince
I've just stuck it on (I thought it was yesterday) how shit has it been?
This cage match is painfully bad.
I won't be watching any of it anyway but I thought it was tomorrow so we'd have got there between us.
Bayley using Naomi's shirt to help her win was really smart.
GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG! GOLDBERG!
Is that the end of The Fiend then?
"Do you think Goldberg will be at Smackdown tomorrow night?
He's got to, being a champion isn't a part time job
So who is GoldBERG facing at Mania?
A new MEGA FIEND.
If Goldberg has won then they've shat themselves so hard over doing more with him then even if they don't consider him to be done he might as well be.
No mitigating circumstances, a couple of finishers to down him at most I assume?
About 6 spears and an ugly jackhammer:
WWE specialise in "what was the point?" booking but having the Fiend lose the belt this way might just top it given Goldberg is definitely, 100%, absolutely no doubt losing the belt at Mania.
Ah, and of course O'Shea lost in under two minutes.
So The Fiend was booked exactly like Bray always was? No fucking surprises there. What a waste of time. He may as well have just stayed as Bray Wyatt but with a new hat.
AEW Revolution is going to be great in comparison.
Man, I really like Goldberg but part-time Billy is bad to watch.
Well it was even/better worse because he wasn't until it actually mattered and then LOL PSYCHE!!!!
I do like the idea of gimmicks being entirely determined by the wrestlers' hats though.
Oh and AJ Styles has been given possibly the worst gig of the night for Mania. Great.
EDIT: Actually that might be Reigns. Hmm.

AJ is one of the few who might get a decent match out of Undertaker. I'm looking forward to it.
LOL at Goldberg and the worst Jackhammer of all time.
The Undertaker was the worst Jackhammer, assuming we're counting it as that and not some sort of collapsing brainbuster.
AJ will probably get something out of Taker but I feel like his carry jobs tend to be guys that can at least move about a bit whereas Undertaker is fuuuucked. Hope I'm wrong because in theory it's about as good as match as you could book for Undertaker now that he so desperately needs to fuck off and retire forever.
He looked decent at Extreme Rules, so I'm clinging onto the hope that he's got one good match left in him.
I still don't get quite why everybody was so excited about that match / his performance at Extreme Rules. Yeah he looked fine in the same way that Shane did because Reigns and McIntyre were doing most of the leg work. And anything would have looked good after the Goldberg match.
The thing with a Styles match is more that his opponent is unlikely to need his assistance to do get off the ground for any moves so hopefully it'll work.
I still wish he'd just stopped after that Reigns match though.
It was more the fact that he looked comfortably moving around for the first time in about 5 years. He's limped around the ring in every match since his Hell in a Cell with Brock in 2015.
Well, I'm not really convinced but I guess I'll see how we go.
I still have basically zero interest in more Undertaker matches though.
If WWE insist on WCW's death knell booking then they could at least be fun and have all the mad excess that went with it.
Styles should be working with younger guys at this stage in his career, letting them carry him and putting them over in the process not thrashing himself trying to make Spooky Mark look like he can do more than dress himself in the morning.
Spooky Mark
I'm not a fan of Spooky Mark's 20 minute long ring walks.
The Goldberg seethe is so satisfying. The thing WWE is best at nowadays is providing internet entertainment via pissing off everyone who watches.
Yeah, I know internet seethers gonna seethe but I'm surprised at just how much vitriol there is for the result. I mean it was a solid idea (albeit about 20 years late for the level of campiness) but other than the last Bryan match they were already kinda fucking it up.
I'd just have rathered if they were gonna pull the trigger on his demise right now it'd have been to somebody..... y'know, not dreadful.
Still, they've just signed a megabucks deal with some Indian TV company so it'll be back on Jinder soon enough.
And add "Spooky Mark" to the thread lexicon along with Kur Tangle, Boatman, O'Shea and whatever else we have.
I don't like that O'Shea is starting to become more mainstream.
Ricochet even changed his Twitter display name the other week to Rick O'Shea and Larry Csonka used it in his review of the Blood Money.
I saw that Csonka had done it.
I mean I didn't lift it from anywhere that I recall but it's a fairly obvious one.
I'd take a Taker vs AJ match if it ends in a botched Styles Clash. Followed by the gong and the lights going out.
*Spooky Mark vs. AJ
Call me old fashioned but for me it’s rarely a good idea to build up a match by having that exact match on a show and having it end in one move that’s not even a finisher. Fuck AJ vs Spooky Mark. The whole card is going to be shite isn’t it?
That they've full on 'Kofi'd' Wyatt into not even bothering with the rematch clause bollocks tells you exactly what you need to know about why Vince did it.
Problem is now we have on the face of it 2 very obvious looking title match finishes at Mania. One of Drew or Reigns is getting SWERVED on the night.
Well the rematch clause isn't a thing now so they can fuck people off they don't like for being brown or having got over in a way that Vince didn't think of but still give us endless rematches when they want to by the dictat of the non-existent authority figures.
It is looking particularly bad this year.
Saw something the other day that Summerslam is the new Wrestlemania while Wrestlemania is just shiny keys for infants.
They're all the same (that's the problem) but Wrestlemania is longer and therefore worse.
You don't need a 4 hour card with a 2 hour pre-show on top of that.
So far I think we have Becky v Dracula, Reigns v Oldberg, Brock v Drew, Cena v Wyatt and AJ v Spooky Mark. Chuck in at least 1 more womens title match, 2 x tag title matches. A battle royal and whoever they drag up to lose to Trips.
Apparently Trips isn't going to wrestle.
There will be 2 battle royals, 3 women’s title matches, probably a women’s tag title match (remember those?) and Edge Vs Keith on top of that.
Women's tag titles?
Calm down, Dan.
The company have forgotten about them.
