Wrestling Thread Jan 5-18 | 1/16 New Japan Debuts on AXS 9pm et - Tanahashi v Okada 2013

How soon?

Who knows. I'll post the info when it's announced.


BTw, didn't know WWE signed him when he was 21 but he asked for his release due to the trainers (Bill Dmott being one of them) treating him and others like crap. He says the WWE has offered him a contract 3 other times, most recent as last may but turned them all down due to his experience with those trainers.


You hear alot of guys say bad things about Demott and he's still there.

There's a demott and patterson comment that could be made.

**** Bill DeMott.

He never impressed me and I don't understand why he's a trainer.

He also said that the WWE training is what made Daniel Bryan an incredible wrestler...or something like that.

 

[Peep Game]

Bill DeMott should've done a No Laughing Matter moonsault off the titantron onto some flaming thumbtacks

Rule number 222... Stop making fun of Pat for being gay...

 

[deleted]

I agree with those ratings.

 

[celticspride34]

Honestly... I would have risen the HW tag match a 1/4 star and the Okada/Tanahashi watch to 5 stars... I loved the story they told...

I agree with the rest as well...

 

[Case]

Shinsuke and Ibushi was definitely match of the night..I wish they would've had even more time and the post main event celebration would have been shorter..

 

[deleted]

Yeah I definitely think that went on a little long. Is that customary?

I really liked how Tanahashi basically told Okada "get on my level" though

 

[HNL HI]

Ishii my dude but 4 1/2 is real generous for that match imo.

 

[100proof]

Thanks to whoever posted about Lucha Underground

Just finished tonights ep and I  was thoroughly entertained

The fact they got chicks fighting dudes and catching beat downs is funny as hell

Sexy star in the Ms Marvel outfit

Big zeke w/ a jailhouse gimmick

but what he did to the ******

Can't believe chavo still getting work

They should calm down w/ the fake audience sound, how you gonna have a "this is awesome" chant and show everybody sitting on their hands

good show overall, I'm gonna add it to the rotation

 

[celticspride34]

WWE had the 2 most prestigious titles in North America in the WWE title and Big Gold... And couldn't figure out how to make them both equal and main event worthy...

NJPW created a title for MVP and did it by accident....

NJPW > WWE

 

[robpzee612]

Just outta curiosity, you don't think the TNA title is prestige?

Not trying to be a jerk but n how could you see any of that when you haven't been trained by the dude?

 

[D Fly]

Well apparently the folks in developmental hate him.

 

[af1 1982]

I thought the main event was better than Kota/swag....

I actually thought this as well. I'm not mad at the results tho.

WHAT?!?!?!?!

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Well apparently the folks in developmental hate him.

re: DeMott

Hating him doesn't mean he isn't a great trainer though. Most of Larry Brown's players hate him after while as well

 

[jaypesoz]

Glad i skipped impact. Same crap. EY, Alicia Foxx, Big Show have to have the most heel turns in history.

Any new Bullet Club clips yet?

Yeah, I'm very interested to see the footage for this

 

[22stylez]

Bullet club kinda gettin over done. They gonna turn into nwo and have half the roster join. Starting to get watered down

 

[Meangene45]

Hell I am even in the Bullet Club

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Dam straight jacking his fathers gear

 

[johnnyredstorm]
