Holy ****!!!! For those that follow New Japan and watched the G1 Special last night on Axs TV, Hiromu Takahashi broke his neck during his match with Dragon Lee. That strong style will do that to you.
I only saw Kenny vs Cody and that was pretty good, but what happened after the match was better. Even this weeks Impact was really good. Swann vs Fenix was great and the Sammy Pentagon stuff at the end of the match is awesome. LAX or the return of the original LAX stole the show.
The NJPW show last night was very good, definitely an improvement on the last show in the U.S. I gasped at that Hiromu/Dragon Lee spot when it happened but figured Hiromu was okay since he was able to continue for a few more minutes and finish the match, although in retrospect the finish was kind of abrupt. Unfortunately, it looks like Dragon was the one responsible for the botch there. I'm pretty sure he was supposed to suplex Hiromu into a bridge but instead he tossed him on his neck. Really hope Hiromu can make a good recovery. Yoshi Tatsu broke his neck against AJ Styles and he was able to come back eventually.
Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if New Japan starts to toned down some of the moves or ban them completely if more guys end up seriously hurt or even worst, Paralyzed.
Apparently JR may have gotten a broken rib from the table slamming into him after Jay White suplexed Juice into the rail (JR is in the corner falling out of his chair). Would certainly excuse a bit of his saltiness about the show if he was in pain for the rest of it.
Man I was irate at Bob Holly after what he did to Matt. Never liked him before that, hated him after that. Juiced up jerkoff.
G1 was an amazing card, great matches top to bottom. Agree the aftermath of the Cody/Omega match was great. The REAL OGBC are awesome, met both Tama and Tanga at 2 WrestleCircus shows, cool as hell to talk to and very appreciative towards fans.
NJPW and ROH just announced they're putting on a show in Madison Square Garden on April 6. That's like pissing on a neighbor's lawn while they're having a birthday cookout.
This is my birthday btw. So if CF wants to all throw in for plane and event tickets and a couple nights in a nice hotel as a bday gift for me, I'd be cool with that.
I think the product is gonna continue to be stale until Vince leaves and focuses on XFL and triple H takes over.
I enjoyed Extreme Rules, hate that KO is basically becoming the Mick Foley role taking crazy bumps last 2 PPVs. Pissed off about last night's Triple Threats, if they end result was Roman/Bobby for the #1 contender, why not make their Extreme Rules match a #1 contender match???? smh
I agree, triple threat was pointless last night. You knew the result as well, so it just made it really pointless. My guess is that Roman will beat Bobby in the next match. I guess they didn't give want to piss off the Extreme Rules crowd by having Roman win.
