    Someone on twitter pointed out they list all of Gallows, Anderson, and Styles belts won then they just say that Nakamura lived with D-Bry and D-Bry wanted to have an inter-promotional match with him once.

    Can't mention his IC reigns until he stops holding the belt, otherwise they'd have to point out he's currently a champ

    Seriously, though, that site has been a show recap/picture/video archive with a link to the store and nothing more for years. When did the rumormongering start?

    I love Naito. I was sad he lost...

    Yeah but Goto needed a win more than Naito.

    Naito doesn't need anything, especially you. Naito's going to ride off on his motorcycle and go smoke cloves with his friends at the lake.

    It's amazing that I've only watched one ppv and yet that is still the vibe I got from Naito. He did not seem to give a single fuck as he left the ring.

    The Wrestling Observer now reports that AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson have all in fact signed with WWE. The site reports that the four stars gave their notice to NJPW booker Gedo this morning at Wrestle Kingdom 10. It isn’t known when they will be starting with WWE but as noted, Nakamaura won’t be leaving right away as he will drop the IWGP Intercontinental Title before he does.

    The site notes that Anderson was close to signing with TNA but when the WWE deal came around, he changed direction. New Japan has a one-year contract system which meant that their deals expired as of January.

    Nakamura, Anderson and Gallows will honor their committed Ring of Honor dates next month in Las Vegas. AJ Styles is said to be done with ROH moving forward.

    So you're saying that he...
    ...dodged a bullet?

    On the 23rd they're marathoning the whole season. 40 hours starting at 10AM that day

    ed: Also apparently tomorrow night and every Wednesday up until the season premiere, El Rey will be showing 5 hours of LU reruns starting at 8 eastern. So yeah, you've got plenty of opportunities to see LU between now and the season 2 premiere

    So, I haven't really watched Raw since Roman won the title (not because of him, just living situation/channels).

    Are we just assuming he retains? I have a hockey game to play in on the 24th but I really want to watch the Rumble live.

    My guess is on the slim chance he doesn't retain, he gets the belt back at Mania

  • nicopernicusnicopernicus Registered User regular
    If I'm fantasy booking I'll say that Roman loses due to Authority (read triple h) interference, setting up the two of them for Mania.

    Since it's Rumble season, are we going to be spoilering rumored/speculated entrants again?

    I think this is the most likely scenario

    or else this will all feel kinda like a waste of time to me. though it'll make the rumble a lot of fun for sure.

    Since it's Rumble season, are we going to be spoilering rumored/speculated entrants again?

    This is what I'd like to see. I think obvious people like current main roster wrestlers you don't have to spoiler, but any surprises should be spoiled.

    Also since Jericho is already announced we can just talk about his obvious spot in the final 4.
