CI Wrestling Thread #56

It can be bad sometimes. Naito and Ibushi seemingly try to kill each other when they wrestle. Osperay is worse to me though because he actually said in an interview that "its what the fans want to see". Okada puts on great matches without landing on his head all the time.

Was about to say I don’t remember Okada being injured plus he’s a big draw for them so there’s that

 

[Fast3ddy]

I feel like I remember okada going through one of the tables on the back of his neck during the second Omega match, but I may be thinking of someone else.

 

[WeWant9]

I think it’s just part of Japanese wrestling to get dropped on your head.

 

[Lexie's Dad]

I’m expecting Cody’s entrance for the ppv to be like this

If he dies, he dies.

Being reported Don Callis is no longer an role with Impact Wrestling/Anthem. He will just be a performer.

The ShowBuzz Daily site still doesn't work so we just have to randomly wait for someone to post a Dynamite rating.
NXT did 700,000 on Tuesday.

Dirt patches are sand traps at Whistling Straits and sand traps are dirt patches at Kiawah. Go figure.

Looks like Velveteen Dream got the ax

 

[Wesley91581]

The Velveeta guy got canned - wonder if someone tries to swipe him.

you know... it wouldn't shock me. It seems to me that more people are pissed at Marty for an "alleged" story that he apologized for and actually admitted to no wrong doing, then the guy who is trying to seduce a 16yr old boy and sending him pics... WITH PROOF! I just don't get this world.

 

[K-mac18]

Another Drop for AEW
821,000 and .28 in the demo.

No idea where that put them.
The two NBA games dominated the night.

WWE just announced they are going back out on the road starting with Smackdown on Friday July 16th in Houston then going through Labor Day.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

good. It'll be nice to have actual crowds instead of video screens that are being told what to do.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

Deserves Dave’s lowest rating ever

Ended up giving the zombie lumberjack match -***. Worse match ratings include the aforementioned Bushwhackers vs. Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff, Hogan vs. Warrior at Halloween Havoc (-*****), Fall Brawl 98 (-****) and Jenna Morasca vs. Sharmell (-****)

Happy birthday @K-mac18

Going to do some promotion , lol. If you like board game/tabletop games, give this a look. I’ve been playing this for 30 years and play the legends game every day. Has guys like Randy Savage, Road Warriors, Harley Race, Bockwinkel, Vader, Midnights and Corny, Rock n Rolls, Bruiser Brody, Stan Hansen, British Bulldogs, Lou Thand tons others.

not everyone’s cup of tea, but if you’re a tabletop gaming fan and want to relive old feuds...here you go

There has to be a reason he wasn’t charged though. Apparently wwe didn't fire him because of that because they believed it was false. But that other factual attitude things got him in trouble. I can't judge a guy who wasn't even charged

If he was released for that wouldn’t have they done it a while ago like months ago?

Right. I'm saying it is for other things that happened

 

[Wesley91581]

Looks like we are getting a nice little Aleister Black/Big E feud

 

[Wesley91581]

A hot topic of discussion as of late has been where Moose would end up if he were to leave Impact. He tweeted this morning and referenced “NXT” when responding to some of the fan chatter.

He wrote, “I love when you all argue about what my NeXT move is !!”

Moose recently tweeted that his Impact contract expires in June, noting that he wants to win the Impact World Title before it’s up. He is scheduled to face Impact World Champion, AEW World Champion and AAA Mega Champion Kenny Omega at the Impact Against All Odds pay-per-view on Saturday, June 12, with the Impact World Title on the line.

 

[TheExhaustedOne]

It’s kinda leaked out that Moose is re-signing with Impact. Probably his smartest move. They should make him their top guy.

 

[K-mac18]

Happy birthday bud

Thank you very much!!

 

[Fast3ddy]

If moose went to WWE they would put him in new day and make him the power of positivity.

 

[Lexie's Dad]

If moose went to WWE they would put him in new day and make him the power of positivity.

If he made money, he'd dig it. Those guys all seem genuinely awesome.

 

[K-mac18]

Lots of rumors that John Cena will be back in some capacity around mid July. Just in time for the first shows with live crowds.

Also looks like Summerslam will be in Las Vegas.

 

[Wesley91581]

So JR turned heel on Kenny omega?

 

[K-mac18]

I would have said Roman has been the best so far in 2021 but Orton would be up there too.

WWE is making fans agree to a waiver when they start attending live events again. Guess that way no one can sue them if they get sick.

 

[WeWant9]

So JR turned heel on Kenny omega?

What happened?

 

[K-mac18]

 

[WeWant9]

They should blur this into something. Omega could get some solid heat going after JR.

Definitely - that’s the best way to handle it

 

[MegaBlue05]

The fact that Omega thinks he’s remotely close to best in the world is hilarious.

I guess I just don’t get it. He’s an average talker, his ring work is good but not great, his facials are terrible and I don’t buy him as world champ.

That’s a TV title, US title guy at most in 1997 WCW.

Maybe that says more about the current state of wrestling.

 

[WeWant9]

I was excited to see what Omega would do as champ, but then they had to include the bucks in it. For me, the bucks just drag everything down and this is no different. I’m to the point I zone out if the bucks are on my tv.

I wish it was only Omega with Callis as his mouthpiece.

 

[Wesley91581]

Zomg wtf Kenny omega is the best wrasslin ever he broke the Meltaburger scale 7 stars so he’s the best ever - he carried new Japan and it’s trash since he left

him and bucks just keep printing money have you seen their t shirt sales - records through the roof everything he touches turns to gold
