Jericho vs Omega at WK

[Popi]

Nothing wrong with calling out his age...they were whining nonstop about Rock/Punk.

And it was corny then too. I enjoyed every minute of The Rock's return.

Smart marks were too busy bytching abt work rate and Rock "holding the boys back."

FOH

This is epic. Wrestling is devoid of surprises since... AJ showed up at the rumble? So I'm happy with this.

Imagine if in the future they can book Neville vs Ibushi...

I wonder why Ibushi didn't sign with WWE? Was that because TJ Perkins was booked to win the CWC?

The same reason why he won't fully commit to new Japan.

My man gotta wrestle sumo wrestlers on a moving truck with some tekken soundtrack playing or some shyt

 

[Psychosis]

This is dope af. Its like back in the day when Raw was vs Nitro, you never knew who would jump ship. I don't think it will be a 6* match, but I'm hyped. Hope Jericho breaks out some new moves.

Is this what the sheets were hinting at when they said other wwe guys leaving for Japan?

Debbie Downers in here already going for the Internet cool points: "Meh, Jericho isn't even that good anymore".

This is big news. Match and buildup should be fun.

Jericho is probably training very hard for this, and I think he's still capable of having a really good match. It would be dope if Jericho were a little bit younger, but I don't think Jericho is too old to where it won't be a dope match. Jericho's style is also on the low-end of the high flying style. He wasn't a full on phoenix splash kind of dude. I actually don't see age limiting his in-ring work too much on this, as long as his cardio and strength is on point.

I haven't even seen the Okada vs Omega matches, but I can tell that on a physical, athletic level, this will be below those matches. It's not 2000, Jericho moves like a man who's almost 50 now.

It can still be a great match, but it seems like people who like New Japan like it for the speed and athleticism. Just pointing out that you might not find it with this one, brother

you been watching Jericho in dialed back workrate of the WWE for a long time breh.
the workrate speed will be fine. If it is slow and deliberate it will be to tell a story and not because Jericho is operating from a neutered physical and workrate standard in the WWE. Of which exists because Jericho just conceded to the idea of hhh as the son in law a long time ago now. This will be the first time Jericho has not been dialed back since hhh felt upstaged in the title rescinded angled era of jericho's WWE career.

Just don't do the lionsault we've been burned before

 

[R=G]

It's funny how his age is being targeted while there has been less bytching about Taker returning over the last few years.

I watched that jericho match versus ... actually i wanna say aj or owens i cant remember... but it was in japan recently like 1-2 years ago and he killed it. Brought out the liontamer n everything. One of the best matches i saw on a random show in a while.

It was the one where brock was there too in japan i believe

[Mr. Negative]

This Kota Ibushi cat sounds batshyt crazy.

cause he's batshyt crazy.

edit: for clarification



edited edit: we could prolly fill a 10 page thread of ibushi just being ibushi

 

[Hey_zeus]

When's the last time Jericho worked for NJPW? 96?

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Lion tamer byke

You know he'll do the real Liontamer too with the knee on the back of the neck and not the watered down Walls of Jericho.

we will see the real lion tamer, that we only last got to see in Daniel Bryan versus Jericho and i wanna say aj versus Jericho. it will be great to see a real un-neutered lion tamer sighting.
