Yeah the camera kind of missed it but...it's Naito and Ibushi, I'm sure it was strawberry floated up.

Fast Lane must have been awesome going by the activity in here o/

Ha, I was thinking the same myself. Took a break from my NJPW catch up and watched a bit of a highlights package of Fast Lane this morning.

Raw tag champ, US Title, WWE Title and Shield matches were all actually really good. Skipped the rest.

Back to NJC tomorrow.

Dana Brooke:

‘SHE IS STRONG BUT SHE IS TIRED' - take a look in my eyes.... Last night I HAD NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE! I meant every word I said... I felt like I was going to cry, but I wanted to be BRAVE for all of YOU... I wanted to use my platform to be the voice of ALLL #wweuniverse ! -Listen, we only expose so much on social media, but behind close doors we face so much! Last night, you heard 'Ashley' you heard the true passion behind my heart that is bottled up inside 'DANA'... I wanted you all to see ME.. everyday I look like this, not heavy makeup, hair up in the gym grinding away to look the best I can & be the best I can be . Most of you know what I have been through in the past year in a half, I lost & loved , I lost vision, I wasn't comfortable, here I am now- this is me... @rondarousey .. you might think you are the baddest woman, is it because you cuss and play tough girl, how can little girls want to be like you!? Are you tough because you think you make your rules here because no one will stand up to you !? Let me tell you something sister, I respected you, from the moment you walked into the locker room, I told you leave your bags here, we are a family no one will ever mess with your stuff, you were shocked... Now I know why, because you are the one who would destroy others, you are the one who would play nasty games and destroy personal property, and you are the one to disown OUR family and leave, you knew alllllll along your nasty plan, but I will never ever back down... I might get my "ass" kicked .. but they say 'what doesn't kill me makes me stronger' - I woke up this morning blessed and have a sigh of relief because I left my feelings all out there nothing left to lose.. while you probably feel like a POS deep inside, I am not done with you, run and hide- but you don't belong here if you don't respect it! I will stand up for what I believe if it kills me but I will speak on the behalf of millions who have felt this way!!! @wwe I love this business & I will never be a disgraceful B*+% like our 'fake' champion!"

Everyone seems to be in WCW 2000 mode at the moment on social media and TV ‘shooting’ and talking about “characters”, “fakery” and using their real names.

Just what is going on with EC3? They hyped his debut onto the main roster and then did absolutely nothing with him and now they’re just jobbing him out on Main Event every other week. The Scottish Daffney has gone under the radar as well.

Why keep calling up NXT wrestlers when they seemingly have zero ideas, I don’t get it.

Is that where he’s gone. WWE manage to screw up so many people it’s unreal. I don’t understand sometimes with all the people they have on their payroll why they hold onto to some people when they clearly go cold on them.

They used him on Fast Lane as well (or maybe it was RAW, everything seems to blend together these days!), but only in a brief backstage segment where 2 women whose names I forget laughed at his fake tan and called him a creep.

I’m glad that NXT is on the Friday this year as it gives a day break from the marathon of wrestling over that week, especially with rumours that WrestleMana 35 will be in excess of 8 hours.

Hope Cole wins. Bored of Gargano.

Hasn't Dunne had the title for over two years now or something daft like that?

Dream is ace but I love Matt Riddle

Great watching the J Cup final there, I would have been happy to have seen either of them win but I think Okada has the better chance of getting the belt from Jay White, the man who has the most punchable face in NJPW (tied with Tama Tonga).

Loved the semi final match against Ishii too. His Rainmaker headbutt counter was full of OOYAH.


I hadn't realised that their MSG special was WrestleMania weekend. I don't think it'll be physically possible to watch that and all the WWE stuff as well. Do you reckon Vince would mind if I asked him to move 'Mania out a week?

Jay White permanently looks like a rabbit in headlights :lol: Still think it's absolutely bizarre he's champion, I can't ever see him being a big international star and the replacement for Omega like they desperately want him to be.

I think that MSG special was one of the reasons the NXT Takeover was move to the Friday since they were originally on the same day. Some lassies from Stardom are coming over for it too :datass:
