Glad Okada won, but Cody went a long way in proving he could one day win the title.

Pleasantly surprised by the Ishii upset.

Never been a Juice Robinson fan, but he impressed me a great deal tonight. Love Sabre Jrs work but god damn, would it kill him to bulk up a little bit?

Omega vs Elgin stealing the show. Incredible match.

Fignuts 07-02-2017 05:54 AM

Oh and Jim Ross is still amazing. When Cody hit the rainmaker, JR's reaction was so great, that for a split second he made me think Cody might have won it.

Also this line: "Our main event is Kazuchida Okada vs Cody. Poor bastard doesnt have a last name."

Fignuts 07-02-2017 06:16 AM

Impressed with the crowd too. Thought there would be a bunch of smarks putting themselves over with stupid bullshit chants, but everyone was just supporting wrestlers and booing heels. Kudos, LA.

Fucking love that Juice took a bet on himself and it paid off. He probably could have stuck in NXT as the entry-level jobber.

#BROKEN Hasney 07-02-2017 09:19 AM

That third v-trigger in a row after the running cris-cross was fucking disgusting. Omega stealing shows again.

#1-norm-fan 07-02-2017 12:09 PM

Saw/listened to the main event on kind of a bad quality feed. Did JR slip up and call Cody "Rhodes" a couple times or was I hearing things?

Simple Fan 07-02-2017 12:28 PM

Just finished watching the show. I liked the flow of thr card, first match was your typical ROH style match which was a decent opener. 2nd match was a showcase of lucha libre and I enjoyed it. Lethal/Page was ok. My least favorite match was the tag match with Billy Gunn. I get hes a big name in America and all and probably be a quick squash for Tanahashi but Billy looked bad. Juice vs Sabre Jr was better than I thought it would be. Realky impressed by Juice and Sabre Jr. looked vetter than he did in CWC. G.O.D vs War Machine was a good match but Omega/Elgin stole the show. I liked the story the main event told with Cody not really taking Okada serious while Kenny knows Okada is no joke.

I've heard ROH commentators call him Rhodes as well. I believe as long as he isn't billed as Cody Rhodes and Rhodes doesnt appear on anything visual or merchandise its fine.

Hmm

Mad respect for OG Roseanne especially after seeing this.

Triple A 07-02-2017 08:06 PM

Her son "took over" her Twitter account and posted that. She normally just posts insane pro-Israel anti-Arab ramblings 100 times a day

Frank Drebin 07-02-2017 08:20 PM

Oh...well....this is a wrestling website so if you don't like freedom you can gtfo.

Frank Drebin 07-02-2017 08:20 PM

Freedom

#1-norm-fan 07-02-2017 09:23 PM

She still seemed into it.

Seems to be the idea. Even though having to abandon the surname is really fucking stupid (although, it was pretty clever how TNA got around that- prob'ly the first and last time you'll see "pretty clever how TNA..." in any capacity), at least WWE isn't going after commentary or promo slip-ups.

James Steele 07-02-2017 11:01 PM

Why doesn't he just go by Cody Runnels?

"Rhodes" has more value as a wrestling name and probably as a way to still fight to try to get the rights to use it. Whole situation revolves around him being upset the WWE never really let him honor his father after his passing and not allowing to do so normally on the indies.

Droford 07-03-2017 01:24 AM

I read the night 2 spoilers and now wished I hadn't..couldn't wait 5 days..ugh

Fignuts 07-03-2017 01:47 AM

Yeah, pro wrestling tees spoiled it for me. Unfollowed them. THAT WILL SHOW THEM

lethal vs omega was good. Ishii vs sabre was better. Love ishii.

Watching the 10 man tag now. Los Ingovernables is probably my favorite faction. Bullet Club can suck it.

Fignuts 07-03-2017 01:49 AM

These cmll guys are cool tho

Fignuts 07-03-2017 01:51 AM

Juice looking great again. Never gave 2 shits about cj parker, but juice robinson has completely won me over this weekend.

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:00 AM

Oh shit haku

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:00 AM

Cool, GOD has the facepaint.

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:02 AM

So much meat in the war machine elgin team.

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:03 AM

These dudes should be the next 6 man champs. Look at this fucking team. They look like they could murder a tank.

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:10 AM

Feel like Hanson and Rowe sell a little too much for guys of their size.

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:16 AM

Bullshit

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:16 AM

Great 6 man though.

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:19 AM

lol what the fuck did that guy say to tama tonga?

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:45 AM

Hope Ropogi Vice wins

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:48 AM

Young Bucks say "you're dead" as much as they superkick. Annoying.

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:49 AM

Why are they talking smack to josh barnett?

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:51 AM

Great selling from baretta

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:52 AM

OH GOD

Fignuts 07-03-2017 02:52 AM

Thought baretta died

Fignuts 07-03-2017 03:00 AM

This match is awesome. Some great payoffs to spots in previous matches.

Fignuts 07-03-2017 03:04 AM

Damn it

Fignuts 07-03-2017 03:04 AM

Amazing match though
