    Best OP ever.

    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.

    I noticed him holding his left arm and it looking a little weird.

    I'm bummed that Drew is hurt. Hope he's not out for too long.

    Also, I'm hoping they update us on Wolfe sooner rather than later.

    That was a great show. Now to see how many spots the main roster tries to rip off tomorrow night.

    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.

    Totally forgot there was a Takeover tonight

    Ah well

    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

    you know what was nice about the dream/black match

    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

    So I just signed up for NJPW world. Any advice on how to get around on the website?

    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.

    Hey, here's some bad picks
    BraunWinsLOL
    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

    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

    Wrestling is great.

    2017 has been profoundly "ugh" in pretty much every aspect of my life save for videogames and wrestling.

    So thanks, wrestling. Thanks for making this year more tolerable.

    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.
