Indy: All-Purpose non-WWE Wrestling Discussion Thread

[Kimi]

Some interesting things happened at the last PWG show, looking forward to getting that when it comes out.

And Sabre Jr. is off to NJPW, which is all kinds of awesome.

I definitely need to get into watching PROGRESS this year after seeing this. Looks awesome.

Naito/Elgin gets 5 stars from Dave Meltzer.

I'll have to check it out, but those guys are both fantastic. Elgin seems like a future NXT guy at some point.

It'll be a long while before he's in WWE. He's got a full time contract with NJPW for the next couple of years.

 

[Disclose]

it was a great match, but it was kinda slow with Elgin selling the knee injury.. which he completely forgets to do in the last ten minutes.

but yeah, fun stuff still..

Here's the wedding from the last Impact.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

I couldn't sleep last night at TNA was on and I caught that wedding and I thought, yep, still terrible and went back to bed.

Being terrible is what makes it so entertaining!

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Normally I would agree with you, but that wedding was bad, predictable and boring. The acting was really terrible, like pornstar terrible, and it was as badly overbooked as the final wrestling match in ready to rumble.

Mike Bennett is awesome

Some good news from the EVOLVE shows this weekend.

If that happened in WWE, it would sink them forever.

Matt Hardy confirms his departure from TNA. With the Hardy's leaving there's not a whole lot left to watch.

 

[Emperoreddy]

There is also debate on who owns the broken gimmick apparently.

Reby posted a scorcher of a tweet, but Matt was more cordial.

It'll depend on what direction they're going in. This next set of tapings will be the first under the new owners and management fully in control (the last set they just used the old plans as there wasn't time to write anything new), so there's a lot that could change for the better. Or worse.

Shibata/Suzuki and Ishii/Omega first round .

 

[Kimi]

That right side is really stacked with things I want to see.

 

[Kimi]

Honma has a neck/spine injury, don't know how bad it is yet.

He took a DDT from the second rope in a match the other night, he got caught in the ropes which resulted in his head hitting the mat at a bad angle. Match was stopped and he was taken out on a stretcher.

Hopefully it's not too bad, but his given his neck a lot of punishment over the years.

What the heck did I just watch?

 

[17futurecap]

Hopefully Honma winds up being okay, guy has given his all to NJPW.

45th anniversary show looking good coming up early Monday morning. Hear that guy facing Okada in the Tiger Mask is a pretty good wrestler .

Not to mention Taguchi/Takahashi, while Taguchi isn't my favorite he usually performs well in big matches.

Sabre/Shibata should be excellent as well.

 

[Disclose]

mind blown... just googled who tiger mask w is.
i had no clue lol.

 

[These Are The Days]

Hypothetical question: if you were a rich, capitalist billionaire like Vince McMahon would any of you buy TNA? If so what would you do with it?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I wouldn't because there's no value.

I'd try buying the tape library which is what they tried to do earlier.
