THE WRESTLING THREAD: HELL HAS FROZE OVER JOHN CENA HAS GONE FULL HEEL

That's it? If true this New Japan experiment is a fail.
You can't make a impression on Japanese wrestling fans with just two matches in Japan. Grand opening, grand closing.

I think the Japanese wrestling is just an itch she wanted to scratch. She was never planning to be there long-term.
She'll probably make a couple of indy runs (maybe AEW), before finally coming back to WWE eventually.

It should've went to Rossy Ogawa (Stardom). 2022 was a superb year for Stardom. Rossy consistently booked the best women's matches of 2022 and the promotion overall has risen in popularity. At Wrestle Kingdom the women sold more merch than the men and showcased a women's match on a New Japan card which many believe was unheard of ever happening. If they continue to grow we could be on the verge of another Joshi renaissance like back in the 90's.

Tony Khan (AEW) had a solid year booking up until the CM Punk/Elite fiasco at All Out (September). Everything after that for the remainer of the year fell flat. Triple H didn't take over WWE booking until August of last year and for the latter part of that year his booking wasn't anything special. The Bloodline stuff was already established so he doesn't get credit for that. This year however he's starting to find his groove. If I was ranking it for 2022 I'll go ...

1. Rossy Ogawa (Stardom)
2. Tony Khan (AEW)
3. Triple H (WWE)
4. Gedo (NJPW)
5. Scott D'Amore (Impact)
 
Tony needs to sit back and have a booker for AEW and ROH. For me i'll choose someone like Christopher Daniels or Dustin Rhodes who been almost everywhere. ROH Samoa Joe or Claudio Castagnoli. Bring in Dutch Mantell to help with the women's division. Tony needs to think long term theres nothing wrong with being a promoter but you need fresh ideas. And get rid of the EVP position.
 
I agree. When you have some of the best minds in the business, people who've made careers turning shit into sugar, you use them to make sure that you make more good decisions than bad decisions.

And the more I hear Shelton outside of the ring, the more I realize why they couldn't get him right. His real personality is 10x more entertaining then the characters they've tried to make him be.

As a pro wrestling fan for 39 years, Tony can right the course of Pro wrestling for decades to come. The time is now or never, I don't see another mainstream promotion down the line
 
A better card than last week. Riho back on the show is a yes for me. The ladder match is intriguing. Would like to see Powerhouse Hobbs or Konosuke Takeshita win that. Top Flight needs to win the Casino Battle Royale. Hook/Matt Hardy don't care. Orange Cassidy/Big Bill don't care. Jericho/ Peter Don't care.

 
One of the classic matches between the GOAT Manami Toyota and Kyoko Inoue (phenomenal in her own right) from '95. I still have the VHS tape of this match somewhere in my basement. I probably watched it at least 10 times over the years. I have yet to see an American women's match have this level of athleticism, intensity and brutality. These women really spoiled me in the 90's.

 
Since I'm in a Bull Nakano kind of mood tonight here's some Bull brutality for you.




Want to know where Sting got the Scorpion Death Drop and where Hangman Page got the Deadeye check out moves #13 and #2. Just remember she was doing this shit in the late 80's/early 90's. Definitely ahead of her time.

Hobbs is WWE bound as soon as his contract is up. AEW will probably pick up Moose.
Is Kenny Omega reaaly a threat to leave is that why AEW is back to featuring the Young Bucks as a tag team.

I think it's more so along the lines of putting people on Friday night who will get people watching. I've watched the passed two Friday shows just because Omega & The Bucks were on. Plus there's more actual tag teams than Trios teams on the roster.
