He's been fantastic. Watch pretty much any of his G1 matches on Dailymotion.

Any recommendations? I do find it difficult to watch Japanese wrestling so would need a good one to start with

 

You could pick at random but his match with Minoru Suzuki was universally praised, although a lot of that is to do with how different their styles are surprsing everybody when the match was so great. The Okada match from Day 1 would be a good place to start if you went in order. The Naito match is great too. It's a fun tournament to see AJ working with all shapes of people and having solid to great matches regardless of whether it's Lance Archer or Minuru Suzuki. Is all available on DailyMotion uploaded by Original Bonski.

To celebrate WWE2K15 coming out this week I have realised a strange fact that if we discount WWE 2K14 wrestling games have a great reputation for ruining video game publishers. The last console wrestling game that was made by a publisher that is still in business was Wrestle Kingdom 2 in 2007 however when limited to north american companies it would be WCW Backstage Assault in 2000.

 

Also I really miss Shane McMahon just putting it out there

No there shouldn't because then you'll just end with #BringBackAttitudeEra, and we've been over that before

Shane was more than an Attitude Era star...

 

2001 Invasion Era Shane

2003 Kane fuedin' Shane

2006 Demon seed Shane

2008 Sack Mike Adamle Shane

2009 Legacy fuedin' Shane

 

So many Shanes, and i loved everyone of 'em!

Looks like rumours are spreading that AJ will be done with WWE after Survivor Series. Lending weight to this I guess was the launch of her website aj-brooks.com last week which seemed to be a very non-wwe independent enterprise. I'm not surprised she's leaving what with having done pretty much all she can plus the whole Punk situation. I know not many on here will miss her but it's undeniable she's been the figurehead of the Divas for the last 2 years - the question is, who'll take over the mantle?

Paige and Charlotte are more than capable of filling an AJ void.

I dont think there was a more off putting person in wrestling history than Shane McMahon post 1999. He actually made me stop watching in 2009. Seeing him do the Sting comeback in a 3-on-1 handicap match on Raw was one of the worst things I'd ever seen.

AJ's gimmick is she looks 16 and is married to CM Punk.

 

Shane was awesome playing off Vince during the 06 DX run.

 

Also i forgot 2007 3 on 1 handicap match fueding with Lashley Shane.

I always loved Shane when I was a kid even when he was a heel. I always thought he should start a big stable with a Mafia gimmick, because to my 12 year-old Liverpudlian eyes he looked Italian American. I was made up to learn he was married to that Eye-Tie off Livewire when we got the internet in 2000.

 

I hated it when he appeared with Vince in what felt like every segment for about two years but hardly said a word. I suppose this would've been around 2006/07 and the DX feud. It almost seemed pointless him being there, and I can't imagine any kids watching at the time really had a clue who he was.
