That's a fair take. I liked Charlton but he spoke so infrequently that they would have been fine using him as a research guy passing notes to the commentary team.

Charlton's translations were excellent compared to Jango's and he did a good job explaining the context of the building and match ups. Even if your problem is that he spoke too little, that's not a reason to mute the commentary.

Naito is beating Tana for the briefcase in a future six star classic so I'm not upset at all!

On Jango's last show the whole crowd were chanting at Yano so Kevin asked Jango for a translation and his response "what's this about now?" :ughh:

It was "kaere" as well which Kevin even knows because of the Taichi chant and he was throwing Jango the softest of softballs. It feels pretty obvious that Kevin prefers working with Charlton though

Charlton is the brit or possibly New Zealander guy that helped on commentary for the final, yeah? Cause with the G1 as my first major bloc of NJPW content, I like him more than the other guy I've heard that tries to translate Japanese.

Too lazy to take a screengrab right now, but there are people out there who think because Asuka hasn't tweeted in almost a week on social media, that she really did get into an altercation with management backstage. Please disregard the fact that she has followed and unfollowed various accounts over this weekend alone.

:psyduck:

I guess its unrealistic for wrestlers/celebrities to want to take a break from social media. Especially since Asuka, Kairi, (and eventually Io) seem to get some really heinous poo poo tweeted at them from time to time.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Not to defend Russo but how true is that, anyway? Because IIRC he did get the restraining order in Indiana, but doesn't he still live in Colorado?

Anyway, I dunno what the reason is, but someone DMed me to give me a heads up that Russo has been going in on me by name on his shows lately. What makes that interesting is that while he did eventually mention me on Twitter some, he was clearly making a point not to allude to me directly on his shows for a LONG time, which I always figured was because I have receipts, for lack of a better term.

Russo is from the Trump school of lying so much people just give up and let the lie into the lexicon.

The story I was told that I've probably forgotten/got it wrong because keeping track of Russo's bullshit is low on my priorities:

Russo was living in Southern Indiana as part of his then unsuccessful bid to return to Impact's writing staff, Cornette decided to have at him, he fled and is currently living with his mother-in-law.

I'm of the opinion its best to ignore Russo unless its causing you issues. Dude is legitimately mentally ill and does this rolling in his own poo poo act as a means to pay the bills because its his survival mechanism in this hell country.
