Until that shirt I didn't even make the connection of how stupid it is to have a guy with a knife motif join the gun motif stable

I don't think anyone from the Elite is leaving. They have all benefitted from this push into the Western market. They have no reason to gripe, but I do believe in a couple of years that the entirety of the Elite will sign with WWE. Everyone wants a shot at the big time. History shows they will be misused and demoralized, but the money, fame and chance to stay closer to home will have them make the jump.

I think the biggest reason that would keep Kenny in New Japan is him waiting to have his match against Ibushi at the Tokyo Dome. They started that shyt 6 years ago and it's closer than ever from happening. It would be very weird for Omega to leave just in the middle of what looks to be the definitive angle of that match finally being booked in 2020 (or if for some crazy reason New Japan books two Dome shows next year). I just don't think he'll let his Golden Lover hanging like that so close to the finish line :dame:

^Is that legit what’s going on or is it Dave’s main NJPW source (Elite) feeding him info to squeeze a better deal out of NJPW? I can see either being true.

The contract stuff is the Bucks & Crew fukking around like they've been doing for a few years now. Dave spends the last 3 months of the year at this point giving weekly updates on Omega going to WWE, even last year or the year before knowing he wasn't leaving Dave still went along with it. He just in the last 2 weeks said Adam Page had turned down a WWE offer (which was fascinating for different reasons) & backtracked a few days later to Page had an offer & just wanted time to think about it because all those guys are supposedly doing whatever they do together, & Dave had kind of blown his 3 month story.

But I'm sure there are some people wondering why they are making changes while doing really well business wise & maybe not liking the new people yet for whatever reasons. Would be really odd for Dave to be attaching people's names to stuff if it wasn't at some level true.

Holy shyt at the bolded :dead:

Regarding the last part. I just think it's money and them trying to pull a power move of sorts.


By the way...




Wasn't Tonga shytting on management as a "worked shoot" during and after the G-1 or am I mixing things up? :dead:

I like Jay White, too. I'm not familiar with him before the G1, so maybe you guys have seen some stuff before that to lower your opinion, but I like him.

I don't have much of an opinion on him as I've seen very little from dude this year, mostly because I never found him to be a can't miss level performer so him getting all these big matches is whatever to me. I did love his match against Juice though :yeshrug:

But most of the fandom either hates the guy or just can't connect with him yet, specially not at the level of the push he's gotten. I haven't seen 1 good thing posted about White in here until that post I quoted :pachaha:
