Please cheer Okada as you are in his favourite section.

Is there any way to watch the battle Royale on the internet if you don't have wgn?

Actually curious about this for those of us not in the US. I'm watching the PPV on HonorClub (mostly because it'll probably be like 2 weeks before it's on New Japan World), will the pre-show be on the streams too?

Yes, he can. But those are men. Not gods. He is going to lose.

making GBS threads up the NXT thread

More specifically, being told to NOT poo poo up the NXT thread for at least 6 months by a mod and then doing it like 3 weeks later.

just came in here to post about this cause i think this is the case. i was willing to pay $25 to watch this live, but i'm not paying 40 when i could watch the vod right after on my njpw world sub i already pay for

welp see yall after the show i guess

If you want to watch it live, you can pay like $30 by buying a month of ROH and then the PPV.

They've also been cagey about when it's going up on World, so I assume that means it'll be up right before the Long Beach show.

Ready for all of the ~~~five-star matches~~~.

Seriously though, I hope the show is good and that it turns my opinion around on the Bucks/Omega/Okada/Rhodes clique. They seem like fine people, but I just haven't been able to get into their matches at all.

If you've watched more than one of Okada's big singles matches and don't get it, i don't know what to tell you. He's literally one of the most versatile dudes in wrestling.

Ya, otherwise just click the big ol' link that says ALL IN on the website, or 'view all' in the PPVs option on the app.

Who's the other guy on commentary w/Cyrus?

Not able to see the pre-show, but I assume it's Ian Riccaboni, the ROH pbp announcer.

Yeah, if you didn't pick the VIP option for HonorClub you need to buy the PPV.

cody will not be playing heel in front of this crowd, right?

If those NWA videos are anything to go by, the story for his match is he's trying to win the title as a way to prove himself to Dusty's memory, so I very much doubt it.

I really hate it when celebrities have competitive matches with actual wrestlers

Daniels has wrestled for 25 years, what sense does it make to sell for someone with three matches

Daniels seems perfectly happy to have comedy matches when doing singles now.

I gotta assume everyone just agreed that if anyone could get a passable match out of Amell it would be Christopher Daniels.

And Daniels probably reveled in the challenge and didn't for one second feel embarrassed by it.

I saw Daniels wrestle 2 weeks ago in a singlet with Venom logos all over it. Dude probably jumped at the chance to fight Green Arrow.

Daniels is one of the few guys still active who worked for ECW, WCW, WWE, ROH , New Japan and TNA.

ROH stream has been super solid for me but the site is so bad I'm never gonna buy another event from them again.

This is not a major threat because this is the first PPV I've bought in like 16 years.

This is fair. Anyone who complains about NJPW World has never used ROH's site.

It's goddamn amazing that Daniels can still hit the BME and overshoot his target when he's fuckin' 50 years old. (no shade meant, it's athletically astounding that he can do something so demanding)

I'm guessing this show will need to be carried by its main events to deliver on the hype.

I don't know who Jerry Lynn is, though, so that element of the match was lost on me.

Lynn's an old school ECW guy, and got his start having great matches in the early 90s with Sean Waltman on the indies

# ¿ Sep 2, 2018 00:41

I honestly thought Daniels would push Lynn too far, Jerry would hit the cradle/Gotch piledriver and Amell would cover for the win.

Jesus Christ what is Chelsea Green's gimmick?

She's... a jilted bride? Zombie?

I don't know what the hell

fake edit: Blanchard really needs better entrance music (this is like Stephanie's theme) but I remember her being good in last year's Mae Young Classic

Jilted/crazy bride. More accurately, that was her gimmick in TNA which is where she got noticed.

Basically she got stood up at the altar or something like that and that sort of broke her mind, if I recall the story correctly.

Again, in TNA that was the gimmick, and I think she's parlayed it into a Foley thing where she has multiple personalities/personas once the Hardys scared Anthem into letting TNA wrestlers use their gimmicks anywhere.

Only just noticed that Don had to go take a leak during this match. Honestly, Tenille's been pretty good.

Also odd but cool to see the TGI's logo on the ring skirt. Like, that weirdly adds to the big time feel, because it's a legit brand to have sponsoring something like this.

Was Stephen Amell any good? I remember him being pretty good at SummerSlam and he seems like a pretty good human being so I hope so.

A lot of smoke and mirrors and he got gassed pretty quick, but Daniels is a pro and walked him through a fun match that made him look good.

No it's Tessa. I used to mix her up with Rachel Ellering/Evers, too though.
