Dunno about Tanahashi switching themes. High Energy is iconic (to puro fans anyway)
Also, I feel like NJPW doesn't make good themes anymore. I remember going to madsplash back in the day and downoading boatloads of great puro themes, but these days it all sounds so generic. |

I really don't see it that way. He reminds me of early heel jericho, where he does goofy shit for heel heat, like jericho's one foot pin, but can turn it on and be a serious threat just like that.

Yeah, I'm with you. When the rest of the cruiserweights and 80% of the rest of the roster are doing Suicide Dives and planchas every 5 minutes, this makes Gallagher stand out.

I really hope they go with a storyline where Rusev identifies as female and lays waste to the womens division.

Reys son Dominic graduated HS and he's going to start training to be a pro wrestler in January. |

To many Big moves do not end matches. A spiked 'white noise' should be a finisher.

Agreed. I'd like to see Cesaro and Sheamus start to rub off on each other, with Cesaro adopting the Brogue Kick as a finisher and Sheamus doing his own version of The Neutralizer.

Probably more damning about the product as a whole:

Good Wade Barrett was when he was given some freedom. Shocking. This word for word promo approach for the entire locker room needs to die. |

I will go to the grave believing Wade Barrett should've been in a marquee match at WrestleMania 27. Either against The Undertaker (to which the build already started with Nexus literally burying Undertaker with no follow up) or defending the WWE Championship against John Cena, whose tenure in the Nexus would've been stretched out longer than a month.
Probably the former. They'd likely already made the decision to build to a Cena/Rock storyline to span across three Manias, so Barrett being the third wheel in that would've sucked. Undertaker going in to total Sting vs. the nWo mode and holding off the Nexus at Mania could've been a lot of fun. |

This "independant contractor" bullshit needs to be taken to task, wwe basically OWN the wrestlers and dictate what they can and can't do which i'm pretty sure is way beyond the remit of people that are classified that way. |

All I'm gonna say is this: Name one legendary promo that was 100% done by a writer and handed to a worker to recite word for word.

On the flip side, how many terrible promos in the past were non scripted? A good promo guy should be able to do either. From what I understand about the scripting of promos is that guys who are identified as needing to be kept on point are given less rope when it comes to promos. A guy like John Cena doesn't have every word written for him. A guy like Foley or Flair who is constantly losing their place when they are in the ring needs to be reigned in. Also some guys today PREFER to be scripted. When you watch a show like SNL do you think they are just winging it? Everything is scripted word for word. |
