The story of KENTA: wrong time - always. He came in and got overshadowed by someone else taken from a Japanese promotion that he was honestly a better worker than, but stuck hamstrung by his moveset being limited. Gets a chance to finally use the things he made famous once the two co-opters were gone... goes down with an injury. Watches from the sideline while Finn out here winning titles and dancing around in paint. Gets better just to get hurt again, and watch more people from Japan come in and... light the world on fire. He finally comes back just to end up being a bootleg version of the position he trailblazed in the company, and likely wrestle his last match on NXT with the better-version-of-himself front row center. Hideo never having sniffed a title, and likely to get tossed to 205 Live while at some point this year, Shinsuke is gonna be holding up that black-and-gold.

The man that inspired the two biggest stars in this company 5 years ago enough for them to take all his shyt can't even get a win against late-career Undertaker's 'best pure striker' character fallacy turned into a sentient entity and dragged through every European tattoo shop on the way to the ring.

I feel bad for dude. Enough that I'll even watch a replay when he debuts on TNAGFW. But just the one. And I can't promise I won't be playing Shinsuke's entrance music while I watch it.

He was as dirty as any of them...he got raided as a motherfukker though. Those last couple awa superclashes were brutal tho

Compare 85:

20k people at comisky park, main events were road warriors vs freebirds, flair vs magnum ta, and kerry von erich vs Jimmy garvin. The card is legit better than the first two wrestlemanias

To 90:

2000 people at st paul civic center

Main events were the paroit and some guy I never heard of vs the beverly bros under a different name, Larry zbysko vs masa saito and their combined ages were like 110

Vince destroyed him lol

Yeah I heard the Lapsed Fan series on the AWA and even seen the shows...:picard:breh...these dudes were wrestling in a green room during their last days.

Got damn these hits.

NXT: Strong Style tonight.

Asuka is on a completely different level from all the women wrestlers in the company

Swagger on a hundred thousand trillion :ohlawd:
Facts. None of the other women in this company have the screen presence Asuka does. More over than even most of the men despite a language barrier handicap.

:mjcry:Poor Gagne.

Bob Backlund showed his ass at Verne's funeral :francis:

“If you weren’t there, it is pretty absurd to say it didn’t go down as reported, even if you’re a fan of Backlund (and there is nothing wrong with that). I will say one more time, Greg Gagne was wrapping up his eulogy for Verne when Backlund stood up, made some shouting references to representing WWE, and then told Greg, `Don’t talk back to me!’ He smiled and sat back down. Greg’s response was, `Who was that?’ Someone said, `Bob Backlund,’ and Greg responded, ‘Who let him in here.’ Backlund hadn’t just spoken the words, he was shouting as if he was cutting a promo from his Mr. Backlund days.”
