Wrestle Kingdom 12 Thread - Los Ingobernables De Winnipeg

[Jordan]

ZSJ is so good

[Emperor Smeat]

War Machine reminds me of insanity from NXT

Wouldn't be surprised if War Machine inspired Sanity's creation but Bludgeon Bros are pretty much a blatant bootleg version of them.

[Fignuts]

jesus that almost ended tragically

[Jordan]

Good match so far

[Fignuts]

FUCK YEAH ISHII

[Jordan]

So many wholesome normal looking people in the audience. So weird to me.

[Droford]

Trent Baretta! woo

[Evil Vito]

BUY YANO'S FUCKING DVD

[DaveWadding]

BUY IT NOW

[mhirn3]

BUY YANO'S FUCKING DVD

Bootlegged as shit!

[Fignuts]

lol yano

[slik]

I like the 'smokey' look of the Tokyo Dome with crowd in the dark...wish #WWE would do instead of constantly showing crowd reactions...

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I kind of love this random-ass team of Makabe, Taguchi and Juice.

[DaveWadding]

Juice looks way slimmer than I remember

[Fignuts]

oof at that collision

[mhirn3]

I kind of love this random-ass team of Makabe, Taguchi and Juice.

Makabe Juice Weapon?

[Fignuts]

Juice looks way slimmer than I remember

he's gotten really good too. Was great in the G-1

[Fignuts]

Beretta feels like such an early 2000's guy

[#BROKEN Hasney]

He calls that the rear view

[Jordan]

LOL

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The fuck Taguchi ripping off Nakamura again lmao BOMA-ASS

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: Taguchi

[Evil Vito]

Get the G.O.D swear jar ready.

[Jordan]

More like Bad Luck FATTY

[Fignuts]

jesus

[slik]

Who are these english commentators?

[Droford]

This match has been a clusterfuck

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Who are these english commentators?

Kevin Kelly and Cyrus AKA The Jackal in WWF

[DaveWadding]

@slik Kevin Kelly aka Hermie from WWE, was a backstage interviewer (the high pitched guy). And Don Callis who was in WWE as Jackyl.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Goddamn Ishii... Goddamn what a suplex.

[Fignuts]

fucking love ishii

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy crap at that Gun Stun OUTTA NOWHERE spot.

[Fignuts]

nice cutter off the moonsault

[Fignuts]

WHAT

[Evil Vito]

Glad Trent got to have that moment.

[Fignuts]

Did not not think for a second GOD was losing.

[mhirn3]

Was that Kushida's older brother reffing that 6 man?

[Evil Vito]

God I love Cody's theme

[slik]

Woah I like how the next match starts right away...no 'backstage skits' or 'filler' video...just down to business

[Fignuts]

DAT ASS

[Fignuts]

talkin about cody obviously

[Droford]

God I love Cody's theme

conversely I hate his hair

[Jordan]

Not been crazy about any of the matches yet. I am excited for this one though.

[Fignuts]

skinny dusty

[Jordan]

conversely I hate his hair

I love it. I've not seen it yet, wow, it's perfect, maybe the missing ingredient.

[Evil Vito]

I'm still laughing at the idea of someone leaving WWE and getting a Downstait theme.

[Jordan]

So many gaijin in NJPW right now.

[mhirn3]

conversely I hate his hair

+5

[Emperor Smeat]

Ibushi not accepting a WWE contract during the CWC tournament was probably the best thing to happen to him.

[Droford]

I love it. I've not seen it yet, wow, it's perfect, maybe the missing ingredient.

Someone on twitter said he looked like a bootleg Dolph Ziggler.

perfect description

[Jordan]

He looks so much like Dustin now.

[Fignuts]

I'm with Fragile. Adds to his character's outrageous doucheyness

[DaveWadding]

DAT ASS

talkin about ibushi obviously

[Droford]

uh oh

[#BROKEN Hasney]

What a handsome battle this is.

[Fignuts]

lol dropped brandi like a sack of bricks

[Jordan]

Cody is much more handsome.

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Ibushi just dropping Brandi on the floor after getting punched

[Jordan]

He's never been bigger either, looks so much like Dustin tonight it's incredible.

[Droford]

lol

[mhirn3]

That's a much better use of Kevin Kelly's chair than him sitting in it.

[Fignuts]

good lord those are weak chairshots

[DaveWadding]

Cody does look a shitload like Dustin.

[Droford]

seeing all the people running around ringside is distracting

[Fignuts]

Camera guys have been very interested in cody's ass throughout this contest

[Droford]

damn

[Evil Vito]

HOLY FUCK

[Jordan]

HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[Fignuts]

oh god he killed ibushi

[DaveWadding]

Jesus Christ

[Emperor Smeat]

Ouch at Ibushi's neck from that Cross Rhodes

[Fignuts]

that looked really rough

[slik]

more pyro than wwe

[Jordan]

They actually had me on the hook for that count out.

[Droford]

trying to kill Ibushi

[Fignuts]

nice

[Fignuts]

ouch

[Evil Vito]

They actually had me on the hook for that count out.

That Ibushi near countout was the closest one I'd seen since Taker coming 0.02 seconds away from being counted out to lose the Streak at WM25

[Jordan]

What a powerbomb

[Droford]

They actually had me on the hook for that count out.

It helps njpw has a legit count going

[Droford]

wow..nice

[Jordan]

What a match! Wow, best Cody match ever.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ibushi's knee attack is what Rollins should be using as his finisher instead of the terrible Kneemaker one.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Damn fun match. Easily Cody's best since leaving WWE too. Helps that he had an opponent the level of Ibushi, but Cody held his own too.

[Fignuts]

Absolutely beautiful phoenix splash

really good match

[mhirn3]

Ibushi is the new cham......"most handsome guy"


I guess

[Fignuts]

lol brandi throwing the ice pack at ibushi

[Evil Vito]

Great match and the right winner. Both men came out of that looking great.

[Emperor Smeat]

The undercard has been really great so far

[mhirn3]

Anybody else get the feeling if Evil and Sanada go over here that Naito is getting the big belt later on too?

[#1-norm-fan]

Blonde Cody looks like one of the kids from Villiage of the Damned.

[DaveWadding]

I <3 EVIL for no apparent reason

[slik]

That dude has a cool entrance, 'Evil Sanada'

[Fignuts]

Glad they set up actually set up lasers instead of evil coming out with his dollar store laser pointers

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Anybody else get the feeling if Evil and Sanada go over here that Naito is getting the big belt later on too?

Don't forget Takahashi. I can see the show ending with LIJ in the ring all with belts.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

That dude has a cool entrance, 'Evil Sanada'

It's EVIL & Sanada. They're two different dudes in the tag team.

[Droford]

James Storm..oh

[Droford]

Thats some serious gimmick infringement

[#BROKEN Hasney]

James Storm..oh

How dare you. That's the famous Lance Hoyt.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Thats some serious gimmick infringement

Yeah, that one dude thinks he's the British Bulldog.

[Droford]

That would have been...quick

[Droford]

Yeah, that one dude thinks he's the British Bulldog.

So theyre the Beer...Dogs?

[Droford]

Noticing a pattern

awesome match..dud..awesome match..dud

[Fignuts]

Every match telling a different story so far.

Rather than ya know, following the same generic formula

#quietshot

[Evil Vito]

I forgot just how young Davey Jr was when he first went to WWE. Dude is only 32 now.

[Jordan]

Davey Boy Jr and Archer are really good

[Fignuts]

Davey Boy Jr and Archer are really good

Yeah, heeling it up like champs

[Fignuts]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck that lariat

[Fignuts]

felt that in my jimmies

[Droford]

that wasnt as impressive as it looked it was going to be

[Fignuts]

have never seen anyone flip out of a chokeslam

[Droford]

Match is starting to pick up

[Emperor Smeat]

Archer got some really good height with that chokeslam to SANADA

[Droford]

lol magic killer..wha?

[GD]

My first WK event. What did I miss?

[Jordan]

Oh no! Upset win!

[Fignuts]

Good match.

[Evil Vito]

This undercard has been really good

[Jordan]

My first WK event. What did I miss?

A really good match with Cody and Ibushi, Ibushi won. And we have new tag champs in a good match that just ended.

[mhirn3]

Don't forget Takahashi. I can see the show ending with LIJ in the ring all with belts.

That's a good point. I forgot that match with how loaded this show is honestly

[Droford]

My first WK event. What did I miss?

Bucks won, Ibushi beat Cody and..uh..the 6 man was Chaos win

[Jordan]

I like Sanada a lot he's got an awesome look and great charisma.

[GD]

A really good match with Cody and Ibushi, Ibushi won. And we have new tag champs in a good match that just ended.

Sounds awesome!

[Fignuts]

Feel like this match has gone under the radar but has the potential to be really good.

[Droford]

Somebody gonna be bald like me

[Fignuts]

Lots of heat going into this one. Should be stiff as fuck

[Emperor Smeat]

My first WK event. What did I miss?

Ibushi almost being killed.

k going to sleep will catch rest later
hope jericho/omega is really good/cool

[slik]

My first WK event. What did I miss?

My first too...cool overall...different than what I am used to...foggy stadium and set looks cool...no downtime between matches...focus more on wrestling/move exchanges than who wins/loses

[GD]

Don't know much about Goto

[Fignuts]

hahahahahahah yes

I love this match already

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Don't know much about Goto

He hits hard.

[Jordan]

How is the match not over?

[Fignuts]

Don't know much about Goto

He's awesome

[Fignuts]

Crowd is super into this.

[Droford]

well this is odd

[Jordan]

The doctor looks legit as fuck

[Emperor Smeat]

Would have been pretty funny if Suzuki just started cutting Goto's hair while he was out cold.

[Jordan]

Why do they keep the fans so far from the ring?

[Fignuts]

Why do they keep the fans so far from the ring?

To give them a head start if Suzuki comes after them.

[Droford]

TIL no seconds means nobody in your corner

[mhirn3]

"Do lots of harm, kill everybody" - what a great drop by Don about Suzuki

[GD]

That's a fine worked punch.

[Fignuts]

suzuki is such a good god damn heel

[Droford]

I think the openweight title matches are my favorite Its isually two people just pounding the shit out of each other

[Fignuts]

Yeah thats typically the theme. I love it too.

[Jordan]

That was a hell of a drop kick

[Emperor Smeat]

Fantastic dropkick by Suzuki

[Fignuts]

brutal dropkick

[Droford]

holy shit

[GD]

This is a quality matchup

[Evil Vito]

How long is intermission usually? Snow has started and I may go clear my deck off quick during it.

[Jordan]

This is awesome

[Droford]

oh my god

[Fignuts]

feel like every comment for this match should be Ron Simmons repeatedly saying "DAMN"

[#BROKEN Hasney]

How long is intermission usually? Snow has started and I may go clear my deck off quick during it.

Apparently there isn't one for Wrestle Kingdom and it is just for every other event. Makes sense with even the undercard matches getting time to develop.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Good fucking god, almost a Tye Breaker from the ropes.

[GD]

Fuck! These dudes are beating the shit out of each other.

[Emperor Smeat]

Apparently there isn't one for Wrestle Kingdom and it is just for every other event. Makes sense with even the undercard matches getting time to develop.

They stopped doing them ever since they had a WK event on US ppv.

[Jordan]

Whoaaaa! What a damn match!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

That was fucking brutal. Great match.

[GD]

I am not particularly sure but that ending felt a bit abrupt.

[Evil Vito]

As someone who was underwhelmed with the last Suzuki/Goto matchup, this more than made up for it.

[Droford]

someones welching on a bet

[Emperor Smeat]

Goto-Suzuki was really great.

[Fignuts]

Just let Goto keep the openweight title forever and fight the shit out of people.

[Droford]

or not

[Jordan]

That was the best Suzuki match I've seen.

[Droford]

That was awesome

[Evil Vito]

Can't recall ever seeing someone lose a Hair vs. Hair match and then cut their own hair rather than their opponent be the one to do it. That was pretty cool.

[Droford]

BIG MATCH JAPAN

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Can't recall ever seeing someone lose a Hair vs. Hair match and then cut their own hair rather than their opponent be the one to do it. That was pretty cool.

I've never seen anyone hit a chair with a different chair because he wanted to sit on that one.

[Droford]

So the next show in US is in March.

Jerichos winning

[Fignuts]

I've never seen anyone hit a chair with a different chair because he wanted to sit on that one.

Doing that at the next wedding I'm invited to

[Fignuts]

Fire Pro official sponsor for BOTSJ

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Shit, G1 Climax Finals are 3 nights this year.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Honestly, this 4 way is my mot hyped match

[GD]

Boyanka Boyanka!

[#BROKEN Hasney]

LUCHA DARYL!

[mhirn3]

DARRYL!!!!

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at Don Callis questioning if that really is Daryl because he's wearing a mask.

[GD]

Can someone explain the hierarchy of the titles? Is the Junior Heavyweight title on par with the Intercontinental title?

[Fignuts]

KUSHIDA is probably one of the best wrestlers in the world. Top 10 easy, possibly top 5

[Evil Vito]

Feel like Jay White could end up shanking Suzuki and stealing his stable.

Suzuki being out for blood and killing all of his old stable mates one by one could be interesting.

[Fignuts]

Can someone explain the hierarchy of the titles? Is the Junior Heavyweight title on par with the Intercontinental title?

I think the IC title has been built up to be a little bigger, but the Jr Heavyweight title is still a big deal. Much bigger deal than any cruiserweight title has ever been.

[Emperor Smeat]

Can someone explain the hierarchy of the titles? Is the Junior Heavyweight title on par with the Intercontinental title?
One tier below it but not like how WWE treats their titles where anything under WWE/Universal is meaningless unless someone great is champ.

It goes IWGP Heavyweight, IC, and then Jr Heavyweight in terms of importance.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Can someone explain the hierarchy of the titles? Is the Junior Heavyweight title on par with the Intercontinental title?

Junior Heavyweight is basically the cruiserweight belt, but because they keep the divisions quite separate (other than the NEVER belts), it's the biggest belt these guys can go for.

IC title is almost as big as the world title. Nakamura had a long run, then Naito did and Tanahashi has had it for a long time now.

The US title is new as of this year, but with Omegas defences and Jericho coming in, it already kinda means something.

I would be very down for a Suzuki revenge story.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Fuck I love Martys theme.

WHOOP WHOOP

[Droford]

chills

[GD]

Wow! Marty Scurll looks amazing.

[Evil Vito]

WOOP WOOP

[mhirn3]

This match could very well steal the show so far

[Jordan]

I'm going for Osprey!

Sweet! Thanks guys.

[Emperor Smeat]

Scurll's entrance was pretty cool.

[slik]

incredible entrance from scurll (ok now off to bed)

[#BROKEN Hasney]

WANKAAAAA

[GD]

Kushida is amazing.

[Fignuts]

for posterity

KUSHIDA is probably one of the best wrestlers in the world. Top 10 easy, possibly top 5

[Droford]

Who does Ospreay think he is, shane mcmahon?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Oh god, Osprey noooo

[GD]

Rest in peace, Osprey's knees.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

lol, that fucking wink at the camera was gold.

[Fignuts]

How do you land directly on your feet from that height? Feel like his ankles should have shattered.

[GD]

Wow! That counter looked amazing.

[Fignuts]

just so perfect

[Droford]

dueling tapouts

[Jordan]

That's not joke, the cross face does hurt. Once I met Bob Backlund and asked him to put me in it and he stiffed the fuck out of me. Shit cranks your neck like you wouldn't believe.

[Fignuts]

lol what

[GD]

Jesus H. Christ, that rally was beautiful.

[Fignuts]

Alright we're watching wrestle kingdom right now, but thats getting addressed later

[Jordan]

lol I have a picture let me find it

[Fignuts]

Kind of getting annoyed now by the UK guys constantly calling their moves.

You're not an anime character ffs

[GD]

Shit! Just had an earthquake. California is going to kill me someday.

[Droford]

oh man

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Kind of getting annoyed now by the UK guys constantly calling their moves.

You're not an anime character ffs

Marty has a move called the Cheeky Nandos. I'm OK with that.

[Emperor Smeat]

Another Cutter OUTTA NOWHERE tonight.

[Droford]

Marty clearly losing but to who

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Marty clearly losing but to who

Takahashi since he's now being tied up.

[Droford]

Marty has a move called the Cheeky Nandos. I'm OK with that.

Having had Nando's, thats awesome

[Droford]

wow

[Fignuts]

One more time.

KUSHIDA is probably one of the best wrestlers in the world. Top 10 easy, possibly top 5

[Droford]

Marty going Mr Fuji on em

[#BROKEN Hasney]

COCAINE!

NOW'S NOT THE TIME MARTY

[Droford]

omg at the powerbombs

[Droford]

damnit...no

[Fignuts]

RIP Osprey

[Emperor Smeat]

Holy shit at that bounce by Ospreay from the powerbomb to the outside.

[Fignuts]

Thought for sure that was it.

[Evil Vito]

This match is so fucking good.

[Fignuts]

Jesus this match

[Evil Vito]

This match is tighter than a nun's cunt.

[Fignuts]

good lord

[Droford]

holy shit

[Emperor Smeat]

For a moment it looked like Ospreay was going to land short outside with that shooting star press.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

THIS MATCH WILL NEVER END AND I DON'T WANT IT TO

[Droford]

god damnit

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Huh, wasn't expecting an Ospreay win

[Evil Vito]

Can't they just split the title into quarters? They all deserve it after that. Absolutely stellar.

[GD]

Whoa! That was a fun bout.

[Emperor Smeat]

Amazing match but it should have been Takahashi that won.

[Fignuts]

Crazy match.

[Fignuts]

Osprey has been putting in work for NJPW for a while now. Been coming for some time.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Osprey has been putting in work for NJPW for a while now. Been coming for some time.

Yeah, I guess the Takahashi arc was a bit too telegraphed too, losing the belt to Kushida, who lost it to Osprey before he could get his rematch, who then lost it to Marty. Then getting tied up made his win look really obvious.

Time for the edgelord Vs. the Air guitarist.

[Droford]

Ill be surprised if Jay White doesnt win, although all the titles changing hands so far seems odd

[Emperor Smeat]

Jay White would look a ton more menacing if he had a beard or some facial hair.
