    I don't think I've seen a Vader match in my life to be fair, aside from Vader Vs Ospreay which was a complete farce (and soured me on him when I heard Ospreay's interview about it).

    Oh and probably the various WWE returns, but only the much later ones (e.g. Vader Vs Slater).

    Can't judge him at all really. But I can't imagine he came close to Taker.

    I would say that Zayn being out injured for so long might not be a bad thing if I had any faith they'd give him some proper direction upon his return.

    Fair enough, I didn't really consider Taker, he's kind of in a group all on his own. Vaders best stuff was in WCW, genuinely great monster heel stuff, the WWF runs in 98(?) were shite in comparison.


    In other news: G1 brackets were out this week, most of Chaos seems to be in group A along with Tanahashi which means we get another match with him and Okada. B block highlight has to be Omega and Ibushi but ZSJ is in there too, for a minute I thought Suzuki would be in there but no luck there.

    Vader's WWE run was only really notable for Shaun Michaels being a massive twat and then Vince ruining him as a 'fat piece of shit'.

    Catching up slowly on what I've missed and I just started on NXT Takeover.

    The tag match to start it off was fucking brilliant and probably better than any match on a regular PPV this year.

    Edit: Dream/Ricochet, my word. This is shaping up to be the best Takeover I've seen.

    Ciampa/Gargano II That's an absolute classic. NXT keeps delivering.

    On to MITB now and I loved the women's match, I thought they did seriously well. Only main gripe I had was Becky Lynch looking like a fool again.

    Ellsworth return had me lolling too (the fucking wink, christ) and the Aussie event sounds shit. Why are they rolling out Taker again?

    I'm convinced at this point they will wheel him out at Mania until he actually physically can't move anymore and then have someone else take over the gimmick. It's like they think Wrestlemania would die without him.

    He should have either never lost to Lesnar or never wrestled again after. What's the point in him now?

    To bury John Cena so he can go off and get a reverse vasectomy for a reality show.

    But yea, I’m a firm believer the streak had to end and Lesnar, at the time, was a good choice, but he should have stayed gone.

    I've just spotted that Ziggler is the new IC champion? Ugh, ugh, ugh.

    The only, hopefully, good thing to come from that is Rollins going after the Universal championship as he deserves it.

    A flip-through reversal and then buckle on the landing, obvs. Doesn't matter anyway, not a chance Bork agrees to do the job for Rollins.

    Rollins vs. Ziggler on Raw was ace.

    I liked his title run so much though

    Oh and still catching up on MITB, Alexa Bliss

    That was glorious and done so well. You get Alexa back as champion, a quick cash in and Rousey is protected.

    Bullies never win

    I still maintain it would have been better to do it with Charlotte during Asuka Vs Carmella, but then they should never have booked Nia Vs Ronda in the first place (unless they wanted to put the title on Ronda early). Ronda was fucking amazing though.

    Yeah, it would have worked better that way but I like Alexa more.

    Anyway, this is fucking amazing:



    Easily dicks Backlash and it's better than last years MITB too.

    Oh and fucking lol at Big Cass.

    Getting his best singles push and the moron fucks it up which is great.

    Apparently it was an accumulation of shit (battering the midget, drinking too much, backstage altercations etc) so he's a colossal twat.

    He really wasn't getting his best push though, he was being jobbed out to Bryan to build Bryan back up. Granted if he wasn't a cunt, maybe he would have got a win, but still would have lost the feud I imagine.

    But yea, he's no loss. He was shit at everything except being big.

    I seem to recall he was actually getting pushed before he got injured. Since returning Bryan has just destroyed him.

    He always looked too terrified and uncomfortable to be a threat. Nia Jax is similar, she should be a monster but as soon as she talks it's all like, you know, whatever you guys, totally

    Bobby Lashley shouldn't ever be allowed to speak, on that front.

    If ever a man needed managers to properly be a thing again.

    My problem with Rousey (other than her mic work but maybe the rivalry with Bliss will help that) is that her punches look shit. Hopefully it's just a case of being a bit green and with experience they'll get better.

    He's another one (Lashley that is) who suffers from the utter tripe they write as promos.

    Rousey is amazing for someone a few months into a wrestling career. A few rough edges but I think you have to expect that.

    Yeah, with experience it should get better.

    She looked a lot better putting Bliss through a table than Triple H. Although the reduced weight would have helped.

    I wasn't keen on them giving her a championship opportunity so early. However it works better with Bliss as she's probably the best female on a microphone so hopefully she can help pull Ronda.

    He really is but his voice would still ruin any attempts at verbal badassery. He was fed a decent barb or two on Raw but that voice, man.

    I can't tell if Flash Morgan Webster is any good because I can't see past all the horrible mod stuff. He's a natural heel in my eyes.

    I think Kyle O'Reilly might be my new favourite, along with Adam Cole he plays a dickhead so well. Roderick Strong seems less comfortable, like he's always looking around to them to see what mean thing he should do next.

    I didn't 'get' O'Reilly for a while with his shit air guitar but he's actually great and it fits so well.

    Adam Cole (baybay) has always been brilliant.

    NJPW on Sunday, me and the LADS never bothered to do any prep work aside from watching the first half of Wrestlekingdom. Probably just going to go in blind, have lots of beer and try to enjoy the show without knowing dick about the people involved. Oh, and one of our posse has never been into wrestling, never even watched bits and pieces during the attitude era. He just about knows who Rock and Austin are, ish.

    Anything I should DEFINITELY 100% watch tomorrow in preparation?? This is the card, according to my mate:

    Dan Duggan vs. Mystery Opponent (the same TBD opponent from Umino’s match on Night 1)

    Shota Umino vs. Yugi Nagata

    El Phantasmo vs. Taiji Ishimori vs. David Star vs. Tiger Mask

    Suzuki Gun (Takashi Iizuka, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, El Desperado) vs. CHAOS (Yoshi-Hashi, Toru Yano, Gedo)

    Walter vs. Yujiro Takahashi

    ‘Switchblade’ Jay White vs. Chris Brookes

    Taichi vs. Will Ospreay

    Undisputed British Championship match: Tomohiro Ishii (c) vs. Minoru Suzuki

    Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Kazuchika Okada

    Isn't the thing with Japanese wrestling that it's not much about the storylines anyway?
