    New Japan suffering. Peyton standing tall. Trump in the news. HHH as champ.

    Why'd we have to get sent back to the early 2000s

    ed: Suzukigun's probably done in NOAH. Which means Shelton Benjamin on the main roster of a company. Yep, early 2000s is back confirmed.

    The Tanahashi news seems like an oddly appropriate way to end this thread, considering the OP and title.

    welp
    I have basically a broken neck, a pretty bad herniated disk. What makes mine a little bit difficult than most people is that I have some disk behind my vertebrae so with a lot of prayers we’re gonna pray that the doctors can get the piece behind my vertebrae with just a bone fusion.

    [Had pain since July, had MRI in Oct] Right when we saw that [MRI] we knew OK no more ring work. So it’s just been a wear and tear and what we do it’s entertainment but there’s a reason why we say, ‘Don’t try this at home.'

    As of now I will be in the hospital just for a day or two. But unfortunately I will be at home with a neck brace for three months, no travel. I can barely be in the car because of the spot where my injury is in, my C6 my C7, I have to try as much as I can not to move my neck so it can heal. In six months time is when I will get that final X-ray to be like, ‘Hey look you can get back in that ring and kick some ass.'

    But...There is a potential that this is career-ending. We will only know that when I get out of surgery on Wednesday and then basically how the bone heals Wednesday. So that’s been tough but I truly have such hope that I will get to compete in that ring another day, I really do.

    I'm not sure what you mean by that Shelton remark. Which main roster?

    I may not think Nikki is anything special as a performer, but I still wish the best for her and hope that she isn't forced out of doing something she loves.

    They're in a storyline right now where Suzuki has a title match and if he loses they're all gone.

    At this point 9 more people in New Japan, all healthy, and even just one big name like Suzuki, would only benefit New Japan.

    Well I don't blame New Japan for wanting 9 talents transferred over. Isn't NOAH a massive quagmire of financial ruin right now?

    Being outed as having Yakuza ties in the former management, plus having Takeshi Morishima as your only major big draw/champ after a lot of years, tends to do that. Marufuji's there and huge now, Jado's there and helping, Suzukigun brought it a lot of attention, but none of it mattered. Damage was done, no matter how much New Japan tried to help when they took it over, it wasn't ever going to be enough.

    Twitter videos/gifs are webms I believe, and gifvs are imgur gifs that you add the letter v to after copypasting the url which lets it play automatically like a regular gif but without the long loading time wait

    Maybe it's best Amell never has a singles match in WWE, I doubt he wants to jeopardize his film career if he can't train long enough to take bumps.

    So are you able to post larger size gifs using gifv?

    Also why is the only video of Kevin Steen turning on Generico at Final Battle on youtube include the entire match vs the Bucks as well?

    So who owns it right now? Is it not practical to just fold the promotion and poach the good talent?

    This is what I'm trying to figure out, because we are allowed to embed tweets with gifs in them, and obviously youtubes, and I was under the assumption that gifvs work in the same manner as those from a data loading standpoint. Which was why my one post had a bunch of gifvs instead of gifs.

    But if they don't work like that and aren't allowed that's fine, don't want to screw anything up.

    You actually have to convert the gif to a gifv using imgur to make it work, I think.

    Then technically it's an embeddable video file.

    The same limit applies but a gifv is about 6-10x smaller than a gif so you get away with more.
    You need a special plugin in most browsers to check gifv sizes though.
