The notion that every random twat on a show needs a background check is fucking absurd. The internet is stupid

IWC can be really dumb at times but this situation was also completely avoidable had someone either in CEO or Omega himself just done a quick check on the non-NJPW & DDT guys.
Seems the only reason why the sex offender keeps getting booked in the indies is due to him owning a ring and ring truck which he supplied for this event. Also Omega made the simple mistake of giving the wrestling school associated with this event too much control for the dark match. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Here it is: I produced all matches from dark match #2 on.I gave the ring crew (also a wrestling school) carte Blanche to have our first dark. No entrances,no name graphics. And thus they had a match. I met Chasyn once in 2004 so his name was familiar. The other guy I’d never met.</p>— Kenny Omega (@KennyOmegamanX) <a href="https://twitter.com/KennyOmegamanX/status/1013076436134047744?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 30, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> |

The guy is an actual registered sex offender and apparently owns or helps run the wrestling school that was associated with this event. This was the same school that Bayley's superfan Izzy trained at before leaving due to some issues there.
The other guy only got outed as a woman abuser because some people online knew him from the Florida indies and/or did a quick check to find out more about him as a wrestler. |

Went to SSE today, Bone Soldier and Tiger Mask are mad short in person. Insanely short. Ishimori looked like a child in a Halloween mask. An incredibly buff child.
Heard these shows are going up on World, so gonna tag it just in case SPOILER: show Would have obviously liked Tanahashi and especially LiJ to have bee there, but still had a blast. Got to see Nagata murder Shota too, so that was cool. |
I'm all in on Taichi. Enjoyed all of his matches since the heavyweight transition. Great gimmick as well. So obnoxious.
|
Watched Mutoh and Chono vs Saito and Hashimoto from 90'.
I love the current nj product but they could learn from this match on how to throw in some straight emotional FIRE into the matches. Not that the current product doesn't have that, but Jesus Christ, the whole early 90's main event crew was on another fucking level. Watching Mutoh and Hase go at it and the crowd is going INSANE. |
Taichi is amazing because you really want to like him but then he acts like Taichi, then he starts doing some cool shit and whips his pants off but goes back to doing Taichi things again so you don't want him to actually win. He refused to wrestle for ages because everyone was chanting Ospreay instead of Taichi :lol:
|
Like you watch that tag match and the pure HATE they're portraying towards one another is so convincing that you might think it was a shoot.
|
Big fan of Taichi's move to heaveyweight as well.

Meij the force be with them.
|
Just watched Omega/Okada from Dominion on AXS with Barnett and Ross on commentary. Kevin Kelly and Don Callis were much better, they had the advantage of being live but still, much better.
|
Was thinking we could make a new topic for tonight's show but I don't think we will have a lot of viewers. :(
Anyone know where sales are at for the gate? |
Wow JR and Barnett really sell the Golden Lovers as a romantic pair. I never really gave it any thought and I searched google and found that Kenny has outed himself as bisexual. Really funny to hear JR say "Well Cody stole a kiss" ... "Why do you think he did that JR?" "I don't know, to make Kenny jealous?" LOL...
|
The Golden Lovers were always obviously a gay love story. I found it both amusing and gross that there are loads of NJPW fans on reddit trying to act like it wasn't.
|
It is certainly unique. Really gotta be a hater to hate on it.
|
Boy I wish I had a show to watch tonight.
Fuck AXS with a rusty spoon. |
I might miss the beginning hour but will be tuning in
How long will it last? |
Gonna be watching LIVE.
How bad will the riot be if Cody steals the title? California finally secedes from the union and flies off into space? |
Haku kicking off the show with his boys in the 10 man.
|
LOL they announced him as THE OG King Haku.
|
I hope King Haku rips YOSHI-HASHI's face off and throws it into the crowd.
Sound mixing is pretty brutal so far. Barnett and Ross talking during entrances is turning into a garbled mess with the ring announcing and themes all at the same volume with them. |
Jesus Haku's arms are huge.
|
Crowd boo's Haku taking an early bump lol.
|
Wow I didn't know that Haku had THREE sons in NJPW. That is crazy.
|
Pretty sure Tama Tonga stinger splashed Rocky Romero with his balls.
|
What the fuck just happened there? The ref totally stalled on that count for the piledriver.
|
Quote:
But yeah, King Haku slowly gonna fill out the whole G1 |
I want Tama Tonga to go far.
|
I hate that no sell for the back stabber there.
|
Haha! Good finish for the Haku Fam.
|
:lol: at JR calling Gedo "Ghetto"
Opener was good overall. |
Always wanted the Tongan's to go to WWE to feud with the Uso's but why bother, they should be making good money, they have good spots and seem to be getting bigger. I like it a lot. Love Haku getting that sick piledriver offense as well as the Death Grip on the booker lol. awesome.
|
I wonder if Haku didn't knock Rocky a little loopy with that piledriver, that was such an impact. Also Rocky was moving very slow on that dive I thought.
|
First time hearing Suzuki's anniversary theme and it doesn't sound as great as his regular one.
|
"How many concussions you think these guys have wrestled through in their lifetime?"
