Come on, Harold Meij. Call Heyman. Get Brock. Let him do UFC. Get Bryan. Sell TV to Paramount for cheap. You can do this.

Call The Rock. Call Conor McGregor if you need to. Wrestling needs something.

NJPW wouldn't be able to afford McGregor even if they wanted to considering even WWE balked at the idea of having him show up for an appearance due to his high price.
Think he made more money in his fight against Mayweather than NJPW did as a company last year. |

Nikki Cross. Also great.
Big fan of Shayna Bazler too if she talks less. |

Lacey Evans. Kairi Sane. Bianca Belair. Lots of great talent in NXT right now.

I haven't listened to Art of Wrestling in several years, but felt the need to tune in this week. Colt recorded a synopsis after each day of the trial and he released them all today now that the trial is over. Pretty interesting insight to what going through a trial is like.

To be honest, I'd rather not see outside stars come anywhere near wrestling. Ronda Rousey has seemingly already lost everything that made her special. She's not an actor and cannot do wrestling skits. She should have just been portrayed as a no-nonsense killer who breaks arms. Conor McGregor would come in as a big deal and then probably be paired up with Hornswoggle within a few months to appeal to kids.

Where is this idea of Conrad being a WWF fan who "sucks up" and doesn't want to piss people off coming from? I constantly hear him flat out talking shit about WWE. Whether its terrible booking decisions or calling out Vince on being kind of a piece of shit.

It's because he balances it out with reverence and praise. Though I'll concede that it's probably because he actually just DOES like Vince and the WWE. But compared to Meltzer he doesn't go SUPER hard in on the criticism I guess.

I mean, he definitely does balance it out but we all would in the same situation. WWE hasn't always been utter shit and Vince isn't an immoral piece of shit 100% of the time. He seems to call out the bad shit and praise the good. He's definitely not afraid to piss people off. The Pillman episode is a good example. He calls out Vince for how he handled the announcement of his death and the Melanie interview without hesitation and won't let Bruce brush it off.
Of course, the Network show he definitely seems to toe the line more. Which is why I forgot about that show after episode one. |

Brock also would be dumb, especially since he totally fucked them over last time he was there and only cares about the money. They're definitely not going to bankroll having him come in just to steamroll all their top stars like Vince has. |

It's not that big of a deal but it does annoy me when people think that NJPW needs American "superstars" to get over in the USA. Be logical... McGregor? Lesnar? to NJPW are you living in this reality?

It will only do so much. Unless they drastically change their product NJPW will always be a niche product. There's nothing wrong with trying to grow that niche, but they should stick to that. Every time they've made major decisions for marketing and profit reasons its bit them in the ass hard.

Wrestlng doesn't need anyone. It needs engaging can't miss tv just like any other episodic tv show.

Punk got beat by a guy who doesn't even have a Wikipedia page.
I commend him for having the balls to get into the Octagon, but the dude needs to quit. This just isn't for him. |

He got a ton of money. But yeah. He's gotta quit. I do wonder what's next for him. Or maybe he just fades into the abyss.

Punk will go back to wrestling. Maybe not now maybe not even next year but he'll be back. Probably with NJPW/ROH

Just remember a lot of complaining online mainly from people that either usually hated him as a wrestler and/or thought he was just going to ruin the comics. |

If anyone has a spare hour and a bit to kill, then this documentary/review video I stumbled across was actually pretty decent.
It's a guy's views and opinions on the SmackDown Series with some nostalgia thrown in. I found myself relating to a lot of what he said with the odd disagreement here and there. It was actually a fun little watch if you have, like a said, the time to spare. |

Ever since Flair was hospitalised he really seems to have aged quite a bit, still looks and sounds frail. |

I came across a Garrison Cade video on YouTube and a lot of the comments are people saying that they didn't know that Garrison Cade and Lance Cade were the same person.
I really hope they're joking. |
