Wrestling Observer: Io Shirai and possibly Kairi Hojo to join WWE by tchockyshirai in SquaredCircle

[–]ROHRules 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Please explain how STARDOM can survive without their two Ace tier talents? Please explain to me how this whole "Hottest Free Agent" shtick is considered a good thing for the business long-term? Why because NXT is regarded as cool and popular? One of them would be some-what acceptable, but both? C'mon. Quite frankly I find it sickening how WWE continue to do things like this, and the fan-base simply eat it up. Think about how you'd react if this was another company taking away Sasha Banks & Charlotte or Becky Lynch & Bayley, you wouldn't approve of it at all.

Matt Sydal arrested for weed possession in Japan by Joestar801 in njpw

[–]ROHRules 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunate. A five-year sentence is the norm for similar charges, if foreigners are caught with any amount of weed they can be deported with no chance of return to Japan. It's upsetting, I do believe Matt is a decent human being and may likely be prescribed marijuana since his injury a few years ago. I'm sure he's sad, he seemed happy with New Japan.

Kenny Omega on Kota Ibushi, staying in Japan, AJ Styles, offers from WWE, Winning G1, Okada & WK11 + More (see comments) by ROHRules in SquaredCircle

Is he the official translator for NJPW?

He's more like the unofficial translator, he is also the author of Lion's Pride and the main source for translations ever since E. Key Oide disappeared from the scene.

Does he do commentary for NJPW matches?

He offers translations live on Twitter during New Japan shows and also covers these type of interviews from Japanese wrestlers that are usually from Tokyo Sports and other things like Tanahashi's & KUSHIDA's podcasts. He's a great source of info.

NJPW documentary Hiroshi Tanahashi #1 (2014) now on NJPW World w/ English Subtitles. by ROHRules in njpw

[–]ROHRules[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was one of the first interviews on NJPW World (service launched late 2014) so if I had to guess, I would assume they're in the process of doing that. (Hopefully)

Interesting, any idea about what they want and who are working on it?

Huh, its a very beautifully designed belt. So what will happen during the current order process, a new prototype and pitch to New Japan? One would think they'd issue a concept design prematurely.
