So, NWA was pissed they didn't let them know when they were doing a title change so they allowed their brand and titles to go back into obscurity?

Johnny B Badd

to go back into or remain in?

But Rob Conway won the title, and just look at him

Watching Wrestle Kingdom 8 right now and holy fuck do I love seeing The Young Bucks at Tokyo Dome. Match was a really fun spotfest.

I really wish Chris Benoit didn't screw up the Vince McMahon Blows Up angle.

A "who killed Vince McMahon?" story would have been gold.

Satoshi Kojima winning the NWA World Heavyweight Title is probably the best thing to happen to it for a long while. In front of 30,000 and presented by Harley Race too? Cool moment.

They could have done it again when the "McMahon's Million Dollar Mania" stage collapsed on him. But instead they opted for the usual "Let's not go anywhere with this" idea.

Apparently TNA's plan to cut back on the disastrous traveling costs and save money by going back to Universal ended up backfiring on them recently.

I'm watching Wrestle Kingdom 8 now. The opening eight-man tag has some interesting looking characters in it. I like how they don't use the traditional western formula for tag matches. Seems to be a lot more back-and-forth and the ending just saw an onslaught of what seemed like the more heelish team on some poor sap from the face team. He gets a good round of applause for taking the beating like a man, though.

My powers of deduction tell me that the guy Tenzan forced to submit was Yohei Komatsu, who doesn't even seem to have his own Wikipedia page. I imagine he's quite a new guy to the New Japan scene. After seeing him get some offence in against the legendary Tenzan, I actually wouldn't mind seeing the two have a match down the line. I'm not sure if that's how puroresu works, but that's just my feelings as a viewer. Put them against each other at a show and have Tenzan beat Kamatsu again, but seem more impressed with him. Maybe the two could become an eventual tag team? Better yet, maybe Kamatsu can gain respect for Tenzan, and vice versa, but when it comes time to find a tag team partner, Tenzan doesn't think that Kamatsu is ready and tells him "no." This leads to Kamatsu finding a tag team partner of his own to challenge Tenzan and a new partner. Could be a great star-making affair that wraps up a few people in it.

Not likely. Tenzan is in a tag team with Satoshi Kojima at the moment right now.

Lol, New Japan have bands play at their biggest shows too. #sportsentertainment

I've read about their celebrated tag team. With Kojima now as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, perhaps there is no need to keep them teaming all the time? Or maybe it can be Kojima & Tenzan vs. Kamatsu & a partner?

:lol:

I'd love it if TNA paid WWE to film some iMPACT! episodes from Full Sail.

Ahem..

I don't really think Daniel Bryan needed a change, but I'm really curious to see where this goes.

Not a big Mason Ryan fan, must confess.

Back to Wrestle Kingdom 8. While I'm confessing, I must say that I am looking forward to this IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title match. Alex Shelley, despite the little I've seen of him, has always impressed me. I don't know why the WWE released Alex Koslov from his developmental contract. He was unlikely to be a main eventer within a year or anything, but he seems to have skill. I'm really looking forward to seeing my first Taka Michinoku match in years and years.

Lol, The Young Bucks. Not sure exactly what their shtick is, but it's pretty funny.

Haha, Taka Michinoku and Taichi just sitting down with the commentators as the other teams beat the crap out of each other.

The Young Bucks are pretty amazing in the ring thus far.

Koslov doing a Russian dance and kicking Alex Shelley in the head each time before double-stomping his face down. Pretty awesome.

Love Taka Michinoku and Taichi as a team. Taichi has some weird charisma about him.

That fucking tombstone/springboard piledriver combo from The Young Bucks! What the fuck is that shit?

Young Bucks gimmick, SUPERKICKS! MORE! MORE! MORE! NO TIME TO SELL, HAVE TO SUPERKICK!

There.

YeahyeahyeahMOVEZ

Because that shot of those two makes me think of Doring and Roadkill.

damn the Sheepherders were such badasses

Noid, you should check out some Shinsuke Nakamura matches. Dude is my favorite wrestler in Japan right now. Has amazing charisma(not just amazing charisma for a japanese wrestler) and he's got this whacky bizarre personality that I've just never seen before.

Oh and he's fucking mint in the ring too. He's probably somewhere on the card on Wrestle Kingdom 8, so I'm sure you'll see him anyway.

A little background on that move. In like 2009 or 2010 in PWG The Young Bucks biggest rival were the Cutler Brothers. The Cutlers finishing tag team move was... the tandem springboard tombstone piledriver. I think it's hilarious that it's 2014 and I haven't heard of the Cutlers in years and here the Young Bucks are in NJPW stealing their finisher!

Back to watch the rest of the japanese wrestlemania, LOL at Daniel Gracie choking out Yuji Nagata with his shirt.

Toru Yano and The Great Muta together is hilarious

Really looking forward to Togi Makabe-Bad Luck Fale. Makabe is one of my favorite brawlers and Fale is fucking huge and I can't wait to see Togi try to take him down.

You know that nobody on here would have been satisfied with the outcome, right?
