God, KOR is such hotthat I'll rep Omega AND Elgin before saying a good word about that fukk
I blame Davey Richards
Honestly I've barely seen any KOR in the last 2 years. He's had a lot of pimped stuff but I haven't bothered with it.
Good for Juice Robinson I guess for getting that spot I guess but I'd rather see SANADA or Ishii or EVIL or even YOSHI-HASHI in that spot
Wonder who will be in the battle royal this year

fukk Juice...Ishii deserves that spot more than fukkin CJ Parker...Ishii could put on a great match with anyone...especially someone as good as Cody. Don't understand why ROH needs its own match...If anything I wouldn't have minded some NOAH guys if they gonna go that route...but whatever. NJPW lost a lot of star power last year so I get them giving the ball to boring ass muthafukkas like Goto. I'm sure it will be enjoyable. Yeah...we wouldn've liked to see Cody against someone better...yeah we wanted Suzuki (we'll hopefuly still get him)...yeah we want guys like Ishii and Shibata to be elevated...but hey...that Trios match is gonna be a car crash of epic proportions...We got Ibushi at Wrestle Kingdom...Cody Rhodes is finally in Japan...The last 2 matches will probably both be 5 star classics and as much as people are complaining...we're all gonna watch it.

Showing the main event first on 1/13
I wondered why they have been showing multiple episodes on Fridays recently (must be trying to catch up as far as possible). No way they will catch up though. They might make it through the G1 by then but no further than that

SWEEEEEEEEEETNESS!
Agreed. He wrestles EXACTLY like WOAT Davey now. I liked Kyle for a long time but that disappointing match with Shibata made me sour on himI blame Davey Richards

Should Never Mention Me
Man, Kyle’s been trash for a long time. His entire career, especially since his reputation has grown, is just spamming the moves of proper ring technicians who knew how to do compelling limb-work and tell proper stories. The KOR praise that often comes from the same people who hate on flippy spot monkeys is absurd, and highlights just how skin deep so much wrestling critique is.
Just because he’s doing a bunch of arm stuff and ends with a submission has people ignoring he does arm stuff with no rhyme or reason, and doesn’t even execute stuff as well as the people he’s taken it from, and that his matches regularly devolve into complete nonsense.
He’s had good singles stuff with Cole, AJ, and KUSHIDA, and that’s a testament to their ability, not his.
Don’t know what caused it, but I’m happy after a few years of collective insanity, the “Kyle is great” or even the “Kyle is good” movement is coming to a halt.
Kevin Sullivan is saying NJPW played ROH to up their presence in the US in anticipation of their foray into the US market and now are ready to toss ROH in the bushes since NJPW hired former ROH exec George Carroll to run their US operations.
Well, that was obviously the plan from the start, although I think it was kind of dumb, since the people watching/going to ROH are probably going to watch NJ anyway. I doubt they converted many people who randomly tuned into ROH at 2 AM on a Wednesday.

I'm Everywhere you ain't never there
Naw you can't say that because they may have converted the people that never had access to njpw before. Like I wouldn't have none where to go to watch them if it hadn't been for all the cross promotion and seeing those shows uploaded on the sites that never upload njpw shows. And ROH seems to have the eye of someone in Wwe since they raid all of there talent. Maybe that will help njpw get a better tv deal
