Omega vs Ishii was great. Not sure if I was familiar with Ishii before or not, but the 'Stone Pitbull' moniker definitely suits him. After HIAC it was refreshing to see such a satisfying gimmick free match, and one that went over half an hour but never outstayed its welcome. Loved the moment at the end with Ibushi too.
Can't wait to check out Destruction In Beppu next.

Have you seen his instagram? Loves his novelty socks and his coffee

Yeah he's pretty fascinating

Have you seen Omega vs. Ishii from this year's G1 yet? Because it was much, much better than their match from the weekend (which was also great)

I haven't yet, but I will get around to it eventually. There are a crazy amount of G1 shows. I watched the first and the special from the Cow Palace.

WWE sure looks like gooseberry fool going to Saudi Arabia again this year when the Saudi’s have been attacking one of WWE’s most popular markets in Canada, and also called out the WWE the last time for daring to show a trailer for their next PPV that featured women in it.
Brock Lesnar getting a $100,000+ payday out of it though. God, he has the easiest gig in the world that bloke.

Isn’t it happening relatively close to the women’s “sorry you can’t come to Saudi Arabia” apology PPV too?

Same week. Evolution on the Sunday, SA on Friday. Very cynical.

Why do we have to endure the Bella twin(s) on RAW and SmackDown.

I find it confusing that in the last few years they've been presenting WWE as more of a legit sport kind of thing when we're the furthest from kayfabe we've ever been. I find it hard to get into matches these days since it's, you know, not a legitimate contest. When I found out it was a work in the 90s, I kept watching because of the story, and, again, in these kayfabe-less days of Lucha Underground and Broken Matt Hardy (best thing to happen in wrestling in years by the way), I find it weird they're pushing "sport" over story.
