Indy: All-Purpose Non-WWE Discussion Thread -- Part 2 [NJPW G1 Special in San Francisco July 7]

[GKJ]

Elgin is like 2-6 isn't he?

 

[Kimi]

Yano beating Elgin on day 12 lmfao, that was genius.

That's why Yano works. He actually gets his wins with his roll ups and cheating, I hate to thing how badly WWE would mess that up if they tried it on the main roster lol.

He's had a really good tournament. So has Nagata

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Stop working me.

 

[Kimi]

I think it's gonna happen.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I think it's gonna happen.

Yup. He's always said if he came back he'd want to work with The Bucks. They wouldn't do this all out of the blue like that, imo.

 

[GKJ]

It all depends on if and when he's ready. Someone else can speak up, I haven't seen anything out there that suggests this is in the offing. In fact, last I heard from the Observer is that he still wants another fight in UFC. But I hope to hell I wouldn't hear about it before it happened.

They haven't announced an opponent for Omega at that show, yet they've never moved tickets at the rate they have for that show. If they want to set the world on fire, that would certainly do it. It would definitely have to either be the feud or the partnership they would have to do right at the start.

 

[Disclose]

crazy. ill **** myself if it happens....

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

It only happens if Omega/Bucks decide to head to WWE imo. In which case, Rhodes takes over BC. So it'd be Rhodes led Bullet Club with two OG members vs. The Elite.

It pretty much boils down to The Elite being kicked out and the focus being on the Bullet Club as a unit again, not The Elite.

I can't see the Bucks ever going to WWE unless Vince hands them a blank check and lets them bipass NXT. They're making too much money on the indies. WWE would also probably ruin them booking wise like they've done with most guys and neuter they're social media presence.

 

[GKJ]

ROH offered them more money anyways.

There's no Punk news or anything, just the normal Bullet Club teasing that has happened before.

I'd say there was a chance before the Hot Topic deal. Now? I don't see it. They're all making so much money without the WWE.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Meltzer gave Yano/Elgin -1 star lol.

Ya, 'cos it was a bad match that makes no internal sense, or sense in the tournament, or sense in NJPW rules in general. Yano is gonna Yano, but it was bad.

 

[GKJ]

When's the last time a match got a negative? Was it the Villaino III retirement match?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I personally get sick of the Yano stuff pretty quickly.

 

[Virtanen18]

There's some dude on Japanese commentary in Day 13 with the most raspy ass voice I've ever heard. Kind of jarring.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

I have no right to question Gedo or New Japan but why even put Yano in a tournament like G-1? I personally don't think it's the time or place for comedy matches

Crowd buys his finishes though.

 

[Virtanen18]

I like it. Kind of a cool breather from the other matches.

That is Honma. He had a crush injury to his larynx from years back, I believe. He is currently recovering from a spinal injury from earlier this year.

Couldn't believe how quickly it sold out. I might be buying off the secondary market.

 

[GKJ]

Sounding like it might be Omega/Juice for the US Title.

Not sure about having him commentate with that voice lol

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Bullet Club (Cody, Page, Bucks, Kenny) are doing a live Q&A on YT right now. Everyone in super casual wear and Cody is there in a vest, tie and dress pants lol.

lol, question about whether The Bucks would want to work SD or Raw if they were free agents, Cody chimes in "Tuesdays are much less stressful".
