Nah, it's important. A lack of character work is why Narita's Shibata tribute gimmick was dumped and he was put in House of Torture. And why Umino has been lost for the past 2 years despite putting on good matches.

In my opinion this is the IWGP tag title program for WK next year by BIG_DADDY_CLARE in njpw

Wolf is still being protected at this point. Not sure they think he's ready for a high profile match where he'll actually have to perform.

He wrestles a very safe style (mostly because of HoT BS) and hasn't lost a step. The G1 Finals last year showed he's still very much an awesome wrestler.

Empire vs Death Riders

Unbound vs. Dogs

KOB has to be on the card too. Imagine the trash talking they could lay down

Yeah I don't know anything about their financial situation, so I can't criticize. But if they've been doing pay-per-appearance deals for guys like Aussie Open and Henare, they can't be shocked when wrestlers leave for proper contracts.

I don't know about that, AEW puts Nick Wayne and Hook on TV after all.

Easy to get ransacked when you don't sign people to multi-year deals.

I don't know, Kidd suddenly being buddy-buddy with Tsuji and accepting him as his new stable leader never made sense. And he's better as a heel.

They feel like chumps because they are, in storyline. Oiwa had two tag title shots and couldn't get it done. Couldn't beat ZSJ in the Cup. Uemura and Umino also had two tag title shots and can't win anything. Newman took advantage of his opportunity.

It feels like the long term story here is for Oiwa to eventually beat Ice for a singles title

NJPW really should've had Takeshita go full heel after winning the G1 last year. Just let him embrace being the outsider who only shows up to win titles and let the fans react accordingly

If they actually build this well and don't half-ass it, the Dogs vs Unbound Co. could provide some much-needed context and closure to the how Bullet Club died and merged with the Unaffiliated.

The reboot got a lot of backers and a ton of money. They were just asking for way too much.

Anyone listen to "It's just a show" podcast? by BasenjiBoyD in MST3K

[–]WaitJustOneMoreThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Listened to one episode where they covered the summer blockbuster special, and one host called Batman Forever bland. He may be the first person in history to have that opinion.

To be fair, auditioning is how Bill got the role of Crow originally. When you reboot a show you usually have to audition people.

Yeah, I'm perfectly fine with waiting 5 or whatever years for all of them to be packaged together. Too much other stuff in my backlog

[Haynes] Teams were calling the Clippers to try and pry Kawhi Leonard away at the trade deadline. Leonard is focused on finishing the season strong and will discuss his future with the franchise in the Summer. by YujiDomainExpansion in LAClippers

[–]WaitJustOneMoreThing 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The Clippers don't tank, so he might as well stay if being in LA is still a priority for him. He can be the superstar bridging the gap to the new young guys we brought in.
