Apparently HHH confirmed on his post-Takeover Facebook thing that Drew was for reals hurt in the finish of his match with Almas. Possibly a torn bicep.
Stoked for SS! Normally not a thing I say! But AJ/Brock, Shield/New Day and Alexa/Charlotte all sound so goddamn good
I was kinda looking forward to the women's SS match because I was guessing Paige was coming back, instead it's Natalya which yawn, so yeah now it's just another SS match and those are bullshit

I'm reading Chuck Taylor's wikipedia page and it's hilarious. Not only does the ring names section have all of his one-off names, there's this:
Starting in 2009, Taylor began a heated rivalry with popular regular El Generico, stemming from his dream of opening an orphanage called "Los Angelitos de El Generico" and Taylor's hatred of orphans. After he was unable to secure a singles victory, Taylor acquired the help of fellow PWG newcomer Kenny Omega, a fellow orphan hater

At first I was confused by why it was in black and white, but then I figured that they wouldn't want to show all the blood.
I love that they are selling WarGames as incredibly destructive.
I do, but it also really much was. Wolfe's head was bleeding a scary alot amount (that blood pool over the broken table was nauseating), Killian's head got cheese-grated against the metal mesh between the two rings, someone's mouth looked busted open, and another guy's bidge of his nose looked pretty cut up from the chain used in the match. It was legit pretty brutal for modern WWE, and horrific by NXT standards.
I started watching the Young Lion Cup tournament that njpw is holding and am enjoying it. It's great to see them having a decent amount of time against each other in singles matches to really show off their personalities and styles. And with each match having a 15 minute time limit they're pretty quick to get through.
Right now Kitamura, Kawato, and Oka are all undefeated. The next round is at Korakuen in December, and Kitamura and Kawato are facing off. Someone's gotta get bumped from the top there, and I'm pulling for Kawato to beat the big monster boy.
Black v. Dream is a match I would show people to get them into wrestling
Strong, compelling characters
A good plotline and feud
Incredible ring work that is a blast to watch
Satisfying ending
Plus both of them are different ends of the Crazy Wrestling Character spectrum which I was always more interested in than your Randy Ortons
I had a friend over to join my wife and I watching wrestling. She doesn't really watch wrestling, and had only seen part of a Takeover to humor me before. She got sucked in by the Velveteen Dream versus Alesteir Black match. Its so good at showing the goofy-ish side of wrestling along with amazing character work and in-ring performance.

Chuck Taylor is the best wrestler in the world and is in way better shape then Tyler Black and I'm so glad he's in NJPW.

Jesus Christ that was an incredible show
and the feud in general
it's had this incredible homoerotic subtext to it but not a homophobic one
if this was the Attitude Era, Dream would basically be personified gay panic. It'd be Roddy Piper vs. Goldust.
Instead it's been more like NOTICE ME SENPAI in wrestling form
I’d have liked to update everyone here I’m OK but I had to go and post dumb shit while pissed off again.
Some friends suggested I start with the latest G1 so that's where I'm going to start from.

There's a Google translate button at the top. In general the Japanese feed gives itself away by calling matches "games."
Any of the past four or so G1s is a good bet. Same for Wrestlekingdom.
Usos beat The Bar
Raw wins the Men's SS (Angle and Braun surviving)
Shield beats New Day (Big E eats the pin)
Charlotte beats Alexa
Naomi wins the Women's SS match for Smackdown
Miz beats Corbo
Overall score, 4-3 in favor of Raw
Wrestling is great.

See Takeover if you can! Fun show!
Internet connection here is currently the shits.
Glad to hear that you're doing alright!
Which is bonkers
So thanks, wrestling. Thanks for making this year more tolerable.

Thank you! It gets really damn boring here, hence me keeping the Network.
