Sasha Banks leaves RAW after taking offense to booking decision EDIT: WWE releases statement

[Larry]

For links of all this stuff I recommend using the search function in the Puro thread. If you can't find it hit me up and I'll see what I can do. There's lot of stuff were links might be dead but there's always new alternatives.

For dates and specific matches, I recommend going to cagematch and just search "career" of any of the wrestlers you might be interested in and you'll get a clearer picture of all the stuff I'm about to list. A lot of matches have ratings attached to them but don't pay them much attention.

-All Japan: Akiyama's return in 2011 and both Big Japan's invasions in 2010-11 and 2018-2019 (lead by Daisuke Sekimoto and Yuji Okabayashi). You'll get good TC defenses, dope tag matches and a couple of stand out Champion's Carnival performances. In the last decade there's two big prospects out of All Japan if you wanna check them out: Kento Miyahara (their new Ace, you might not like his style that much, but he tends to work really great against more grounded hosses like Shuji Ishikawa, Suwama and Daisuke Sekimoto). and Naoya Nomura.

-NOAH: I practically gave up on them in the early 2010's but I still check the bigger matches. If you want people to lose regard of their opponent's well being there's a lot of cool shyt involving Sugiura, Go Shiozaki and Katsuhiko Nakajima. They've been fighting each other for more than a decade now (even though Shiozaki left for All Japan for a while) so there's tons of matches to check out. In the last decade they also have two big prospects who've taken prominent roles: Kaito Kiyomiya and Kenoh. Now, I'm not a fan of either one but there's lots of people who are into them, if you wanna check their work out (they've faced each other a bunch of times too).

-DDT: There's one interesting run that blended the more spot friendly style with more interesting dynamics. I always recommend Sekimoto's run as KO-D champion (it also has Kota Ibushi's second real heavyweight encounter, and he goes full demonic).

-Big Japan: I remember you saying you liked fun 6 man tags were people beat the shyt out of each other like the one from SD with the Brutes and Imperium. Well, Big Japan has that shyt in spades, alongside a whole bunch of interesting hoss matches (some go full retard with the stiffness, others go very "less is more, every move matters"). If you just search "BJW" in the puro thread you'll find a shyt ton of matches and reviews of different matches and runs.

-New Japan: Tanahashi's 2011-2012 is really special, even more so in hindsight as New Japan's style would go even further into the reversal/nearfall/too long stuff that Okada made famous. His Minoru Suzuki match and the Okada feud are worth revisiting, imo. AJ's run is also worth checking out. And of course, Shibata vs Okada, if you haven't seen it, is something you gotta see and have an opinion on it. To me that was always the real "match of decade" of NJPW, not the Kenny/Okada match.

Hella appreciate you for this fam. Off the next few days, gonna go on a binge

No reason for Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta to be all over TV and Miro not to be

Disagree. I don’t think Miro makes much of difference in business for AEW for one, and long term Garcia and Yuta are likely a lot cheaper to keep around considering they’re likely paying him a ton, and he already has his foot out the door to boot

I wouldn’t push an overpaid guy that seems dead set on a WWE return either. Sit at home chief


Smart play by Tony if you ask me

 

[ECA]

If Miro didn't wanna do the job to Starks then fukk em. Absolut is best for the biz

New Japan is on honor club?

No, other than one NJPW wrestlers were competing in ROH

 

[Ribbs]

So... they didn't pay her for her worth and she bounced? And now she got her release/finished her contract or just agreed to part ways?

Am I getting this right? Haven't scrolled this thread in awhile, just saw the thank you's on IG.

No one really knows her original contract length(from what I've seen), so don't know if they agreed to part ways or if she was legit let go. Found og tweets saying she was released months ago by VP of Legal


There were reports that her and WWE entered contract negotiations. She wanted to be paid like Becky/Charlotte and WWE didnt think she was worth as much as them and she had "peaked already".

There were reports a few months back saying that she was released. So maybe released with a non compete after the negotiations fell through

Edit: Reports and stuff

Miro shouldve took the job to Ricky if he wanted tv time so bad

trolling, sarcasm, tongue in cheek.. all the same thing


We all do that, nobody tryna be Dean Malenko 24/7. Let’s have some fun my brehs..


That doesn’t mean everything I post is some elaborate scheme dawg. All I’m saying is TK investing in young guys over some overpaid cat that’s very clearly leaving the moment he gets a chance isn’t that crazy. This is real life, no trolling. Y’all be riding on TK way too hard sometimes (pause)
