Who got the full Super Showdown? I need to see this shit for the laughs.
Shit was brutal to watch. Knew immediately after he hit the corner that shit wasn't right. Shame, was looking forward to that one.
Shit I'd imagine it has to be on par with what Taker got if not more.
Man if they gonna bring Goldberg and Taker back....they gonna have to have them wrestle one of the young guns. Them two olds gonna kill each other. I think Goldberg still can go though I think hitting that corner fucked him up and the match.
I knew it...
Agreed. Often feel the same in MMA and boxing with older fighters. Bellator has been questionable having guys in their 40s and early-50s compete. People like Gracie, Shamrock, Sonnen, etc.
After picking up the win, the “Deadman” looked incredibly unhappy with the way the match went down.
Brad Shepard of Pro Sports Extra and co-host of the “Oh, You Didn’t Know Wrestling Show” interestingly revealed that according to his sources within WWE, Goldberg and The Undertaker had a “shouting match” at gorilla position after the match.
This comes after Goldberg revealed after the match that he actually knocked himself out at some stage during the bout, and apologised for letting down his fans.
A source in WWE told me that Goldberg and Undertaker got into a shouting match backstage at the gorilla position, after their match.
They both fucked up.
It was just a one match thing.
WWE getting hella paid for these one off shows for these Arabs. They do one a year.
Both these cats are supposed to be retired. But the Arabs wanted to see Taker and Goldberg, and apparently they had the money for these old geezers to be like "fuck it, let's do it."
WWE fucked up the booking of the match. It should've been a 3 minute match TOPS.
Paid enough to get HBK out of retirement last year
You'll be waiting forever because nothing's going to change. That was just a tagline used to hype up the Super Showdown, which was nothing more than a bunch of old washed up guys "wrestling" on a glorified house show.
Moxley has to be the hottest star in wrestling right now. This is what WWE fears most: leaving them and becoming bigger stars.
Jon Moxley seems to be really over with the Japanese audience. Smart move by New Japan to bring him in. It's only gonna last until AEW's TV show starts. Better to cash in on his popularity now.
Not hard to do considering how bad WWE booking is and how your creative freedom is suppressed.
TNT you mean and that's not gonna happen. NJPW will get the belt off of Moxley before the show in October. Also, from my understanding AEW is undecided on whether or not they will even acknowledge that Moxley won the IWGP United States Championship.
The Jericho/Okada match went pretty much like I expected. The only thing that sucked was the out of nowhere finish. But yeah they weren't gonna put the IWGP Heavyweight championship on Jericho. What will probably happen is Naito will challenge Okada for the strap in an effort to become double champ. Jericho will come back later in the year and challenge Tanahashi. New Japan has a problem because their main eventers are thin. They need some new blood in the worse way. Right now it's Okada, Naito, Tanahashi, and White.
I think Ibushi will finish the year strong. He'll probably win the G1.
