AdamTH17 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Not seeing *** general Cody isn't any bother to me, but disappointed with the lack of Golden Lovers. If I had to predict a line-up, I'd be guessing LIJ, Suzuki-Gun, probably Liger, Ishii, Goto, Yano, Switchblade, Juice as well. Hopefully, they chuck either Okada/Tanahashi on top of that, and then you mix in your RevPro guys like Ospreay, Scurll, ZSJ. Have RevPro announced if they're doing another British J Cup this year? Could see them running that in conjunction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I went to the last British J Cup and I remember them saying it will be done annually, so around August/September time is when the show will be I’m guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) I think that Ospreay/Scurll match is my new match of the year. The obvious Okada/Tanahashi match will be next. Edited April 1, 2018 by TildeGuy~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) So Osprey tried to kill himself on apron this time. What a stupid spot Edited April 1, 2018 by WyattSheepMask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he's not going to win, but I guarantee there will be points during the match you think he might. Fair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavemanLynn Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Someone's got to reign Osprey in. He's living the mark's dream, working for the best wrestling company in the world right now, but with all the daily injuries, numbness, etc that he apparently has (with a worrying tinge of pride), I fear there'll be nothing left of him when the E come calling. Course, he'll likely buck this expectation, not change a thing, and still have a successful five year blast. Rubbery bastard, lol. There was an interesting comment in Jericho's Omega podcast, where they talk about how they had to ditch their planned opening spot using the scaffolding because the light-heavies had already thrown themselves off of it too much. It perhaps highlighted the amount of freedom NJPW higher-ups give all their talent come the bell. Seems like a blessing and a curse for sparky young lions like Osprey.

Definitely, the call back to Nakamura being the last person to tap Okada out back in 2013 with the jumping arm bar after countering the Rain Maker has me off of my seat screaming for Okada to tap.

He's had veterans on Twitter like Rip Rogers say he should cut out all the death defying stuff and he responded along the lines of he was having fun and doing well and the wrestling business has changed since you were in it Grandad [I'm paraphrasing, obviously]. Every generation has their daredevils, whether its Dynamite Kid or Mick Foley, and ultimately they all pay the price for it in the long term.

TildeGuy~! Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) Ospreys selling has been amazing this past few months in Japan, especially in today’s match with a Scurll but then he goes back to doing 450s and shooting star presses within minutes, just cancels out all the good work he’s doing. Anyways Title feuds coming out of that show are clear, probably matches for Dontaku and Dominion Okada/Tanahashi Suzuki/Naito Ospreay/Kushida Evil and Sanada/KES Goto/Juice White/Finlay is happening on April 24th.

Snitsky's back acne Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Apparently Ospreay is injured but quite how badly nobody is sure. Meltzer is saying he was in 'excrutiating' Pain backstage after the match. His status for NOLA shows is up in the area. It honestly wouldn' surprise me if he didn't fracture/break his neck after watching that video. I honestly hope for his sake he hasn't.

Although he's clearly talented, he's also quite clearly a bloody idiot. He's going to be either retired by 30, or in a condition where he really should be. He was feeling numbness in his arms about what, 2 years ago? Whilst in his early 20s. He needs to sort himself out for his own sake, life is more important than praise from Meltzer.
