Jan 7, 2019 You would think with all the eyes kenny and co put on njpw/roh theyd be more willing to work with them
Jan 8, 2019 Yeah I don't understand why NJPW wouldn't work with AEW, especially when those guys are a huge reason that NJPW has become as popular as it is now
Jan 8, 2019 This is a monumentally horrible decision. Apparently Wrestle Kingdom being four hours was also a directive from the new management. That old Dave quote about wrestlers there feeling very different on October 1st compared to September 1st feels very relevant today. I'm distraught lol, can't imagine how the guys there who've built this up feel.
Jan 8, 2019 well the AEW announcement did temper a lot of the matches on the Wrestle Kingdom card, announcing just before was a d-ck move
Jan 8, 2019 How? The same audience is paying attention. The matches didn't get the time they needed, end of story.
Jan 8, 2019 I don’t care what happens or what needs to be sacrificed I just want Kenny f---ing omega in new japan
Jan 8, 2019 I figured theyd come around pretty quick to keep omega, sucks they took the belt off of him if he does stay
Jan 8, 2019 @NJPWBros Chris Jericho, SCU and Neville are all in on All Elite Wrestling All just made an appearance at the AEW rally
Jan 8, 2019 I think the rally went really well...Jericho & Pac are HUGE gets and Omega is basically confirmed too on the new BTE. Anyone else planning on going to Double or Nothing?!
Jan 9, 2019 Dude I want to but financially it doesn’t seem likely for me right now. If it was closer maybe
Jan 9, 2019 Man, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. The Bucks were getting over big in ROH, got bigger during the Hardy's matches, sustained that momentum for over a year, and even though they wanted to do it anyway that Cody tweet to Dave about selling out a 10k arena puts a lot of this in perspective Does Jericho go to New Japan without Omega/Okada taking over the wrestling world? How much of this would change if Adam Cole stayed in ROH? Maybe @Epitome can clear it up, but the Bucks weren't slotted in the main event spot until after he left, right? Omega/Okada, All In, and the birth of The Bucks are definitely the pivotal points in all this right now lol. Unbelievable how hard they worked for so long.
Jan 9, 2019 Just realized man, if Bucks/Jericho turned down huge WWE offers that means this is real, real money and TV is guaranteed. Bucks signed for years! It's happening. Edit - apparently girls are getting equal pay? They going hard Aside from Omega losing (which was probably gonna happen anyway with Tana's movie and storyline) every other result was expected before January 1st. Cody was a guaranteed loss to Juice, Bucks were gonna lose in the tag, and Ospreay was going to beat Ibushi with his story. I heard Hangman dropped the pin on the pre-show? That would have been a sign, but nobody really expected that they all would be gone from New Japan.
