do they do real time translations in NJPW? That's probably the biggest thing preventing me from watching

So hey, why the gently caress was AJ US champion for 16 days.

To have something important happen at a house show. Not the worst decision tbh.

Renee seems legit pissed and frankly I don't blame her. She goes from a weekly show that's clearly a blast for all involved to a monthly death march with Jerry Goddamn Lawler.

I'd be pissed too.

I think Owens definitely touched a nerve with her there.

Probably because he kept blaming her for getting Talking Smack cancelled.

First he said he got it cancelled by talking to management, which she didnt seem to mind.

Then he said it was because she was terrible at her job and that didn't seem to sit well with her

Well yeah but he's nowhere near as fun as Bryan and they still made it only a monthly show. I think what got to Renee was KO talking about them "taking it from her" heeling or no heeling.

Nah, nothing he said about the cancellation was actually true there. That felt like their way of getting to talk about it and show they're not happy.

RealFoxy: May 11, 2011; 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.

There were a few interesting things Russev could have done in the Flag match to keep it a little more exciting. Throw his flag into the fans! Tease ripping the flag up! Tease BURNING the flag! Hell if that doesn't sit well with advertisers and the troops he could have even just taken the flag stand on Cena's stairs and thrown it away making Cena at least fight for the single remaining flag stand.

Instead we get slow ladder climbs except up stairs

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I laughed at that so much harder than I should've. Also shut the ever loving gently caress up Jinder Mahal.

I like that Jinder's explanation is basically, "it's not my fault Randy Orton has no friends."

I think what offends me the most about Jinder's championship is this idea that Indian people give a poo poo about this.

Like, do they think Indians can't tell this fucker is Canadian?
