With the complete blandness of recent WWE shows, this is going to be a massive breath of fresh air. Only 2 weeks to go :toot:

The way the card is looking, this could be a shoe-in for show of the year. It's so nice being able to get up on a Saturday morning and watch a wrestling event live too.

Haven't watched in a few weeks, when did Nia Jax turn from an anti-bullying babyface into a destroyer of jobbers?

Who was that random person on the stretcher on RAW during the Owens/Angle backstage segment? When Rollins got attacked and the stretcher came out I thought they may have filmed something out of sync.

Apparently this was actually a real injured person.

They really are phoning it in until Money in the Bank. Barely anything of interest happened on RAW last night, aside from some matches. Big Show returned, but they treated it as absolutely nothing, instead he announced the participants in the USA Special Olympic Games.

BTW, if you haven't seen it yet the Andre documentary from HBO is on Sky Atlantic this Sunday night from 10:10pm.

Disappointing that the Royal Albert Hall shows won't be airing Live on the Network (they've stuck them on a 1 week delay).

Dr Amann's legal team lost the case when they concluded that a dollar a download should be worthy compensation, taking the total amount to $3.9m. :lol:

Was hoping to avoid spoilers but sadly didn't. Will still watch it later though, people are calling it the best out of their 4 matches, which is absolutely insane

The match must have gone on for an hour +, it felt like it was on for 15 minutes.

Shame you got it spoiled but don’t let that spoil your enjoyment. And watch Jericho/Naito too!

I think their other matches may be technically slightly better from a pure in-ring perspective, that was probably the greatest 70 minutes-ish of pro-wrestling ever. Incredible.

I'm going to Tokyo for the G1 Finals and I could not be more hyped for it right now.

I still think Naito should've won at Wrestle Kingdom, but then again if he did we probably wouldn't have this awesome feud with Jericho.

EDIT: Six out of eight of the New Japan championships are held by foreigners now which is pretty surprising.

Is there a download for the NJPW show available? I'd like to watch the two main events.
