Who cares what the IWC thinks? Just like what you like and dislike what you dislike. Takahashi always does silly crap like that, I personally think he's fun. And WWE does plenty of goofy crap, cmahn now.
I know, and it's to be expected from WWE, but I feel NJPW would get a free pass because...Japan.
Also re-reading my post, I don't mean I turned it off in protest or something, I just had something to do that I kept putting off and felt like that would be a good time to finally do it without missing anything important.

The matches that followed that match have been bangers haha. ZSJ is the new (2x) TV champ and we still got an IWGP title match coming up. Nemeth vs Ishii is about to get started.
But naw, NJPW gets a pass because they always do stuff like that -- Takahashi especially. Expected from both because wrestling rules.
I def recommend you go back and watch ZSJ/Riddle. Riddle is a fool but that was a great match.

I did catch the Riddle/Zack Sabre match and watching Nemeth and Ishii now, it was just the second half of the Ali match I missed. The show has definitely picked up after those first two or three matches that weren't doing much for me.

I did not have Mox winning the IWGP World title in Chicago on my bingo card. First guy to win the WWE, AEW and IWGP World titles. Mox is legend.

So apparently this happened on SmackDown

I think I know where it's going, hear me out
It's the ghosts of Xia Lia and Nikki Cross hacking the satellite feed trying to get Triple H's attention on behalf of the women's division that shows up to TV every week only to get stuck in catering.

Saw smackdown opening and left stunned. Not surprised to have a bloodline opening but how the segment ended.
I could see the uso brothers reunited after the draft
Not sure how creative will write for reigns
Inter bloodline feud.
I doubt it

Marigold is Rossy's new promotion, and their first event will be on May 20. Looking forward to it. Giulia is advertised, so that's in line with what one of my Japanese friends said that she isn't signing with WWE just yet, she's doing a favor to Rossy and will be helping to grow his promotion in the early stages before heading over to WWE.

I liked what I saw, but I only got to sit through a little past the first hour and liked that the crowd was really into it. I did want to see the Sami and Chad match, hopefully they at least put highlights on YouTube.

Damn, this is tough. Some of these I feel like their order could change if you asked me again in a week, except #1 is forever my absolute favorite. I'm trying not to show any outside bias and keep this based on their in-ring work and not let that be affected by something stupid they might have said on social media years later or something they did in their personal lives (I wouldn't hold it against anyone if they listed Chris Benoit or Kane, in fact Kane almost made my list and he probably would've if he had retired 5 years earlier than he did).

I still don't feel 100% satisfied with either list, and I don't like doing a tie, but I've spent the past 15 minutes flip-flopping on each list between which one of the two at 10 gets cut and I just can't decide. I dislike "honorable mentions" even more because I don't wanna take anything away from those who were good enough to make the list, so a tie it is!

Forbes officially released their breakdown of the most valuable combat sports promotions in 2024. UFC, WWE and AEW are the top 3, with that $2 billion valuation of AEW being confirmed as accurate. I thought WWE was around $9bil but $6.8 sure is nothing to scoff at.
W for pro wrestling.

Ric Flair, Sting, Triple H and Chris Jericho made it on fewer lists than I'd have expected (the latter two not appearing on any). I wanted to squeeze Randy Savage onto mine but I don't know who he could replace.
Tajiri making my list probably looks like the odd man out, but he has a guaranteed spot on my list since I went through some old ECW shows a few years back which then got me re-watching his WWE stuff again and I came to the conclusion he's one of the most underrated of all time. Whether it was big guys, small guys, medium sized guys, he could work with them all and make them look like a million bucks. He'll never get the praise of someone like Rey Mysterio, but in my opinion he deserves every bit as much (or more, since Mysterio didn't even cross my mind when putting my list together). If it came down to it I think ultimately I would have bumped Claudio off in favor of Tajiri, but at the time I felt they just both deserved to be on there.

I can’t describe my hatred for Chris Jericho. I remember the Y2J crap being hyped for weeks and when he came out all I could think was that nobody from WCW? Guy has made an admirable career at being mid at everything, wrestling, music, podcasting. Other than his 20 second cameo in Macgruber I can’t stand him. I do hear he’s a safe worker which is good I guess.

Jericho is legend. Absolutely no disputing that. His last 2 years in AEW have been pretty lame for sure… the “JAS” and whatnot is stupid. But now he’s, what? Doing his old Lionheart gimmick in the most bottom a mid-card can get? FTW title vs Hook? Cmahn. He’s a solid worker in his older years and as long as he’s not trying to form a new faction or go after the AEW title, he still has value on a pro wrestling card.
Beat Rock & Austin. First Undisputed WHC. Main evented Mania. 2 goated feuds vs HBK. Wonderful feuds vs Punk, KO, Rock, Cody, MJF, Mox. IC title legend.
You don’t have to “stand him” (Fozzy sucks and he seems like a tool irl), but his pro wrestling career is undeniable.
