masato tatanka posted:ive never seen an aj styles match and dotn care to He tries to do that sprint style he was famous for in his 20s but doesn't have the knees or neck for it anymore. Plus he's had a spate of matches where he's injured dudes. Not really sure I want him in a match with Okada.

triplexpac posted:Finally got around to watching Invasion Attack. Wasn't really a huge fan of the main event till they got to the ending sequence, once they kicked it up a gear it was great. Tanahashi working heel is interesting but it does make it hard for me to get into the match for some reason. Bullet Club took pictures with him doing their gang poses, so I guess he's in. Anderson's already been tweeting that he's in charge of the Bullet Club with Bad Luck tweeting his support to Anderson. So AJ is probably going to be used like the Young Bucks, comes over, does poo poo under the BC banner and then reps it on the US indies.

sportsgenius86 posted:my only real concern with Styles in Japan is how long he can go before he gets tired of being away from his family on these tours if gets a belt, they'll have him drop it and he can go home. I'd be surprised if NJPW gave him any poo poo over it because they've got guys on the roster that refuse to return the USA because of domestic commitments(Taka for instance)

MassRafTer posted:Meltzer has been prone to hint at stuff he knows but can't say and he was hinting that the belt was changing hands soon before AJ signed while also talking about AJ getting a big push that the fans might reject. Now that AJ has signed he's openly talking about the possibility AJ might win it (although not stating that is definitely the plan.) It sounds like it is a distinct possibility. I could see them running AJ against Naito to test the waters.

The Bucks are pretty over with the crowd. They might not be able to walk or speak coherently in their 40s but they're gold now.

It was pretty transparent that Naito was being setup to be the next guy which took a lot of the fun out of the G-1. I could see crowds being resentful over that. Dude's turned it around though. I'd like to see him and AJ Style square off.

I don't really care for the constant bullshit interference stuff from the Bullet Club. If you're gonna run a misdirection bit, at least go for something novel like dropping a dead horse into the ring or something.

All I want to know is if Iikuza will continue to deface the announcer dude. That really makes the B shows worth watching. Aj Styles is a great wrestler but we've been spoiled to death by Okada/Tanahashi's straight up and down battles. The jump in ring interference stuff really detracts from a solid main event. coconono fucked around with this message at 17:58 on May 27, 2014 |

plus Ustream takes less of a cut than pay to air TV deals or traditional PPV providers. When I was looking at Ustream, it was stupid cheap to stream. They'd have to do in the low hundreds of buys before streaming on iPPV is a loss.

My girlfriend came in and said AJ Styles is "nasty looking" so that's probably why he draws so poorly.
