I'd love to see Nakamura having great matches again, but yeah, he'd be in a Tana / Suzuki role and I'm not sure he'd be happy with that. Then again, how happy can a man be putting over Jinder Mahal? He still has things to do in WWE I'm sure.

Robinson is probably going to go back eventually, but I'm not sure it's time yet.

Karl Anderson currently rumored to want to go back to NJPW once his WWE contract expires in a few months. Doesn't seem Gallows is going to follow him since the same rumor stated he likes being in the WWE.

I imagine they got paid a pretty penny to come in, and yet three years later and they barely mean anything. Anderson is pretty good, but Gallows is still really clunky in the ring. He's got good presence when he stands around and does nothing, but bell-to-bell you can give him a miss.
They're apparently good to have in the locker-room, but can you imagine what Vince thought he was getting versus what he got? Imagine if you had spent Road Warrior money and got Biscuits & Gravy? I thought that there was a possibility that Anderson would be moved into a trainer job and Gallows would just keep on going as Gallows, getting random pushes because he's big and you can delude yourself into thinking he has charisma until he talks. I guess Anderson is looking to leverage some offers off each other. |

Kinda happy that Gallows wants to stay. Anderson has to much potential as a singles star to see him back in the tag division if he returns.
Gallows seems genuinely entertaining in Cabanas road diaries and southpaw. Feel like he's just not good at reading other peoples awful material. |

If Gallows and Anderson had somthing on WWE Network similar to Talkin Shop it'd be the best thing on there. I know it wouldn't be PG but neither is Bruce Pritchard's podcast and they allow it.

I'm surprised the WWE hasn't launched a podcast network, to be honest.

Okada's promos are becoming more and more bizarre as the G1 goes on. He's lost it.
Literally loses it right at the end. |

The Tongan schtick has already gotten old
I get that "the point" is that they don't give a fuck about the G1 this year but every Fale and Tonga match in this tourney has been the same. 10 minutes of sloppy brawling followed by a clusterfuck finish with a million run ins. I'm still a fan of them as characters and am interested in seeing where the Bullet Club civil war goes after the G1, but for the time being their matches in this tourney are skippable. Seen one seen 'em all. |

They've done the job of turning the crowd on them.

That they have. It's just a slog to watch.
I'd be booing too if I was there, but from the comfort of my own home I can just zip past their match. |

I am watching Omega/ZSJ now. So far I've been feeling like I'm over G1. Too much of the same. I love a filet mignon but if I ate it everyday it wouldn't be special to me. That is how I currently feel about G1 and NJPW.

But this match is awesome. 3 Minutes after I posted that I'm like glue to the screen.

Tanahashi keeps hinting that he's going to start his own faction to save "lost souls" and the first two guys he wants are Hangman Page and uh, Yoshi-Hashi. A revamp could actually be just what Yoshi needs.

Tama’s had decent matches before, but the story of this tourney is that he and Fale don’t care about winning. Given that is such a prestigious tourney...the idea is that everyone from fans to the announcers to other wrestlers resent them for taking up two spots just to waste them.

Night 14 slightly nudges out Night 2 for best night of the tourney so far I think. What a show.

SANADA has been my personal favourite this tournament, but Ishii and Ibushi have both been incredible. Goto also putting in work.

Depending on how NJPW plays their cards with the G1, this event and Omega-Ibushi match are likely what determines if NJPW sees Omega-Ibushi II worthy of Wrestle Kingdom status. This show being sold out is already a great sign for the rematch. If Ibushi wins the G1, NJPW can easily save the rematch till WK 13 and give Omega's 2nd G1 loss title challenge to someone else. |
