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.
Moxley has to be the hottest star in wrestling right now. This is what WWE fears most: leaving them and becoming bigger stars.

If AEW and NJPW are smart they let him defend the US title on the first show on TBS.
I think Ibushi will finish the year strong. He'll probably win the G1.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.

Ibushi isn't happy if he doesn't do a neck bump.Ibushi needs to be careful with those neck bumps. In the Naito match he took a bump to the back of his neck off the ring apron that could've broken his neck. Ospreay had that same problem but wised up and has been working a lot safer.

It needs to be a combination maneuver with the code breaker. You gotta over sell the move to make it look like a match ender.I don't know what to think about Jericho's new "Judas Effect" finisher. I get the psychology behind it because in real life a spinning elbow to the head can knock you out but the way Jericho executes it looks weak. It's gonna take some getting use to.
Here's the bump Ibushi took for those who didn't see it.

Yeah Lance Storm said the same thing about apron spots. At least NJPW they have about a good foot of extra room for spots compared to standard rings.Just brutal. They need to eliminate spots like this on the ring apron. The margin for error is too slim and accidents like this are bound to happen.
Moxley will drop the title at some point. Cody only had the US title for like a month. Omega was one of their biggest stars and he only had like a 3 month reign. They don't keep titles on foreigners for long.How is this NJPW thing going to work once AEW starts going week to week?
Rumors were Fox fox was forcing their hand on having their top talent when the show starts. Whatever the reason for the wild card rule its hurting the product.shit is sad
supremely talented dudes collecting dust
either the wwe needs to let some ppl go or enforce a hard brand split or make NXT a legit 3rd brand
I mean, is this really any different than the Golberg from 20 years ago? He was a shitty wrestler then always hurting himself and others. Nothing's changed other than his age.

That move looks worse than a accident. That's intentionally trying to get someone killed.Listening to Busted Open this morning and they were trying to compare this spot to the Goldberg/Taker dumpster fire. These two aren't even close, this was an accident. The WWE ish was just egos that could have got someone killed.
