Started to listen to the Muhammad Hassan episode of STW and decided to look him up to see what he's been up to.

As of April, he's done Indy shows.

If it wasn't for him being one of the many wrestlers who filed a lawsuit against WWE over head injuries, it would be cool to see him return.

He's only 36.

That's cool you dug up old quotes, but why are you arguing when I say he's special and he could've been a game changer for the CW division?..And why do you think WWE fans would think he's boring?..AJ doesn't have much charisma, and neither do several others, but yet the fans still get behind them and enjoy their matches/buy their merch..

AJs in ring style connects with people. And he has more charisma than we thought he did.

Come on Case....
 
She small as f. Probably couldn’t take a proper beating.

I don’t know, Murphy has a lot to be frustrated about over the last 6 years up until now. Especially post BAMF life.

And I bet those guys who turn down a shot with WWE will be kicking themselves when they're 50, can't wrestle, and all their indie money is long gone..

Bruce Prichard took a job with Conrad prior to starting his podcast. Plus how many guys do we know who had to get regular jobs after their WWE run. Plus it’s 2018, they can still do conventions and autographing signings.


  • According to Bryan Alvarez, Hogan’s meeting with talent backstage at last night’s PPV was filmed for an upcoming WWE Network special.

I will put money that New Day will be in the front row of his conversation to the locker room.
 
Except in very rare cases where a feud is bigger than the world title: the WWE championship should ALWAYS main event.

I disagree...
IC title can main event.
Woman's championship can main event.

If the story is right, Tag can main event but not with these current toys r us bought looking versions. They also haven't had a story great enough so who cares.

When the title is THAT important, chasing that opportunity to be the flag bearer and the story is that important it needs to take center stage. That's how you make these little pieces of metal they use as props important. If it doesn't you get Roman and Brock that NO ONE cares about to close Wrestlemania.

Go back to Bret and Davey boy for the IC title closing Summerslam I believe, early middle 90s roughly. It was a beautiful match and there was so much story to it.
 
My top 5 in NJPW right now
  1. Kenny Omega
  2. SANADA
  3. Kazuchika Okada
  4. Tetsuya Naito
  5. Jay White
Top 5 in WWE right now
  1. Seth Rollins
  2. AJ Styles
  3. Finn Balor
  4. Elias
  5. Andrade Cien Almas

WWE List doesn't count... Almas isn't doing anything and Elias is pretty close to that.


Nvm: I'm via satellite, just catching up.
 
No particular order...

NJPW (new to it so this can change I guess)
1. Jericho
2. Omega
3. Suzuki
4. Hangman
5. Sanada

WWE
1. Samoa Joe
2. AJ Styles
3. KO
4. Ciampa
