Weird. Person locked their account. Anyways...

It was Nakamura's entrance for his match against Jericho.

(Not the greatest sell, but I'll take a Nakamura win over Jericho any day)

Here's an Instagram video of Jericho telling Nakamura that he will be WWE champion (shades of him telling Bray the same thing)

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

My favorite KENTA match is pretty overlooked, KENTA vs Kotaro Suzuki in which Suzuki pulls off heel tactics that would make Eddie Guererro smile.

His best matches were probably with his long time friend/rival Marifuji and he had a great match against Bryan Danielson in ROH

The lastest "thing" NXT wise is WWE souring on the "Samoa Joe deal" where workers could work the indies on their off dates. Eric Young and Robert Roode are shutting down their PWTs stores. While Ciampa and Gargano are likely to be signed full time over the next few months.

WWE traditionally have always wanted full control/ownership over everything. So these contracts won't going to last.

Also to cut to the chase Roderick Strong is signed. But like a lot of things NXT wise it happen happen until September/October and everything is up in the air with the WWE Draft.

I was at WWE in Tokyo tonight and Nakamura vs Owens was hilarious and amazing in the best way possible. KO is a sensational heel and that's hardly news, but it was a great combo and Nakamura was obviously over as hell.

On this subject it's always amazed me how Goldust has been able to get away with keeping his PWT store despite being a main roster contacted WWE worker.

Does he have some sort of special veteran's exception or something or have they just never really noticed?

Apart from the fact the match ruled, how does a WWE show in Japan feel different to New Japan? Or is it pretty much just the same.

He didn't have one, and got stopped at the border enough times to get a travel ban like the Super Smash Brothers did a couple years ago. Unless some bigger company steps in to help him out with the bureaucratic process, he's not wrestling in the States again anytime soon.

So basically the only way I'll ever see a Speedball match again is if he goes to Japan or NXT? I doubt LU would want a part of that hassle.

That blows.

The Observer reported that LU had interest in him for Season 2 during the limbo period where they were still waiting to get greenlit, but the deal didn't happen and then he got popped at the border so who knows if they still have interest in light of that additional hassle.
