ayo they making the talent raids of the 80s look like light work :dead:
At least they were raiding in the '80s to expand their company and would USE who they sign. For the last few years they are signing just out of spite so no one else can have them. NXT probably has a bigger roster than the main shows at this point. They are so petty. They can't stand to see any fed or part of the world getting hot.

The AJ Archive has really surprised me that Kim Duk/Tiger Chung Lee was really solid. I guess that's what I get for judging a guy based on his time in the worst work rate possible era of the WWF.

I didn't realize Goto/Ibushi was tomorrow. Thought it was going to be at WK.

Ospreay returns tomorrow to face Taichi for #1 contendership.

Ibushi vs Ospreay at WK for the NEVER title? :krs:

Finally copped All Japan TV :ehh:

Sekimoto/Akiyama vs Violent Giants from yesterdays show was a good tag match but not the MOTYC level encounter I was expecting. The usual formula with Sekimoto getting decimated by Shuji and Suwama, and Uncle Jun doing some key interferences. Daisuke was the main focus though, he got the final comeback and W. They have a higher level match in them, would be cool to see a tag title match in the near future.

I'll eventually get a round a lot of matches and I'll upload them for the brehs when I catch a can't miss one :salute: it's a pain in the ass because you gotta rip the whole show, then cut the match and then upload it, BJW Core made it easier :heh:


PS: Strong BJ couldn't get the tag titles, Hama got the pin over Okabayashi and earned a title shot against Sekimoto for the big Korakuen show in New Year's :lupe:

Has RWTL been worth a shyt since the NOAH split? Seems like it has some of the hottest matches in the 70s and 80s (plus guys who came in for just the tag league getting some special singles matches throughout December), but I don't remember shyt being said about it in a long, long time. About as much as the World Tag League.
