    Do you really have no interest in the G1? I can't fathom not being interested in it, the quality s----s on anything I've ever seen in my life

    Sounds like a you thing not a wrestling thing

    I've actually considered just watching with the Japanese commentators. Rocky ruins it for me and kevin sounds like hes reading off of cue cards sometimes

    Rocky is terrible but he's improved drastically since the first few nights. Legit I was depressed knowing rocky was going to ruin all the action of the G1, thankfully he's listenable now and Kelley makes up for it.

    He spends his free time watching old Nitros, what do you expect

    Thought Rocky came into his own during the last B block show

    Edit

    Before today's. Only saw Juice/Ishii which was GREAT.

    @Pinhead whats your thoughts on the stupid f---ing translator not only talking over promos but now he's actually at the commentary desk now ?? (Unless that was a special guest or some s---)

    Also thoughts on Tama tonga having go away heat and not being able to produce a single memorable match even though he's working with the top guys in the world??

    edit

    I've wanted to like Tama. I've tried as I've said time and time again. I was going to give them credit for wanting to make him a bigger deal and giving him importance and time to shine as a villain to Kenny and the rest of the BC.

    I thought this meant he changed. I was wrong, I've never seen a wrestler somehow maintain appearing like he doesn't give a single f---

    I feel like it's taking Kenny and everyone backstage everything they got to drag an ounce of storytelling and drama out of him

    He's a guy playing the part someone else wants him to, he can't stop himself from acting cool for a moment to look like he truly gives a s---

    Ok tama rant over I'm just sick of him trying to spoil an otherwise 5* g1 tournament

    I'm the same way right now man, I haven't even considered watching anything from the G1. I'll at least watch Styles vs Joe at SummerSlam and I hope to watch All In, but other than that I just don't care right now

    When me and Big come through with our best of G1 you mothafuckas better jump

    @Big Dangerous I do like the translator, just not when he's going over top of guys.

    Hate Tonga now and everything about this program. Heat with no payoff is go away heat. There's no big match with Kenny to push this forward, nothing. They're just f---ing s--- up.

    Feel like its Gedo trying to Americanize the product as it gets bigger, without understanding that we're trying to escape that bs in other wrestling. It was the same when AJ and Balor were in BC, but they were having great matches still. Even then, it took until the Suzuki match for the Japanese audience to respect AJ. He was an awful draw when he arrived.

    The Japanese audience hates it, so I really don't understand why it's happening.

    ZSJ vs Naito. Wow. What a match.
    Omega vs Ibushi is nothing short of what anyone expected. Wrestling at its finest.
