Looks like a 25 minute 4 way Iron Man match, what's the little timers above the names? Was this a penalty box style "you can't score a pin for this many seconds after you've been pinned" deal? Feels a bit like one stip too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Nick James Posted December 20, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 20, 2023 Nikkita Lyons is so shit it's not even funny. Other than the obvious, I have no idea what anyone sees in her at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinity Land Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 2 hours ago, DavidB6937 said: Got NO idea what's going on but.. Â Â AJPW have a big show on 31/12 with the Triple Crown being defended between Nakajima and Miyahara. At the beginning of the new year they tend to do back to back nights at Korakuen, where the Triple Crown is being defended against a mystery opponent on 3/1. I know its google translate but the text reads as: Quote [A phone call from WWE to President Fukuda of All Japan Pro Wrestling! ! ] The assassin that President Fukuda is trying to make into a Triple Crown Champion for 1.3 is an NXT player! ? Is it true, President Fukuda? Are you okay, President Fukuda? ! Agony?? President Fukuda's office?? Episode 1 "Hello WWE!?" Don't miss All Japan, which is ahead of the times! Based on that and the video (WTF?) I don't think it's the sign of the working relationship people are fantasy booking online. 3/1 is a Wednesday so someone's either missing that week's NXT to come in, or this is just them continuing the mystery.

Snitsky's back acne Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 I think a working relationship has been rumoured for a while now. Muto was in America earlier in the year and I guarantee it wasn't just to sit ringside for Rollins vs Nakamura. Could be a very interesting development.

Muto's been tied to NOAH for years now, and his daughter is about to debut on one of their shows. Doubt he's been doing all that promo work to help out a rival promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have my Japanese pro wrestling hierarchy confused. Historical ties at this point. About 20 years ago left peak-MMA influx NJPW for All Japan and would there for about 10 years. Towards the end All Japan was sold, he lost his Presidency and was being phased out in the power structure. Set up his own promotion Wrestle-1. When that failed he saw out his in-ring career with NOAH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinity Land Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Turned out it was true. Making the AJPW teaser all the weirder. Charlie Dempsey will challenge for the Triple Crown on 3/1. He'll also be in a tag match on 31/12 teaming with Yuma Anzai against LEONA and Tatsumi Fujinami. William Regal made the announcement in what I think is his first official on-screen work since returning to WWE. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattSheepMask Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 If it goes to being on the network the following day I might actually try again with it. It was becoming less & less of a priority due to the Ciampa/Gargano feud becoming increasingly tedious, but the week delay absolutely killed my desire to watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted December 31, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) I guess this is the right place for this. I’m completely out of the loop with wrestling these days but just found out this is Regal’s son. Is he any good? I can definitely see the resemblance to his old man. Edited December 31, 2023 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 He's very new. Interesting to see him get the chance but can see that the experience would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 He was part of the New Japan Young lion system a few years back prior to signing with NXT so he’s no stranger to Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
