And in a matter of hours, both Karachi Okada and Will Ospreay will be having their final matches as New Japan stars. 

One will the the last match in the rivalry that started the return of the king (of sports).

The other will be NJPW's first ever War Games match between Ospreay's United Empire and David Finlay's Bullet Club to cap off the aerial assassin's last match in violent triumph or brutal devastation.  

Oh and we're getting ZSJ/Danileson II.

What about Raven! /

Sorry I was too busy driving around on a shopping spree, telling Chris Kanyon how much of a mark he was. What were we talking about?

I’ve changed a lot of my views lately as I was gonna support WWE and AEW but a lot of stuff in AEW drove me away.

Sting & AEW are a package deal. You need to decide which is more important. Your support of Sting or your convictions against AEW. 

Moments ago, TheRockARooster said:

I was just asking if I should swallow my pride and watch the end of Sting’s final run in AEW?

I was asking for opinions since I’m not sure what I should do.

Honestly dude, your 180 turn on AEW is baffling.

WWE gave sting a 2-2 record in mediocre matches.

AEW gave Sting a three year long undefeated streak and made him a champion. What more could you want?

Thank you, Spark.

What about you, @Denim&Venöm?

What about me? 

Almost forgot. 

Lats month I went to my local indy, Brew City Wrestling's Cage War event, which featured the War Games style retirement of company founder, Frankie 'Thumper' DeFalco, who's been in the business since the AWA days. Even having worked Superstars matches against HBK and Rick Rude. A bunch of other stuff happened too. 

 "I bet he's thinking of other women."

 "Goddamn, Hechicero is so fkn cool!"  

Nothing francy. Just chicken vegetable ramen with chilli powder, chilli lime seasoning, MPF sauce and a fried egg.

Today was 54F and partially cloudy.

Right now, it's about to Thunderstorm. 

It's February. In Wisconsin.

If you only had one match to watch for the rest of your life which match would that be?

 

Mine would be Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels from WrestleMania 21.

 

@TheRockARooster@Patty Thundersnow@Unicorncob @Clawdeen@Denim&Venöm@Castle Bleck@Dark Qiviut 

Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchika Okada from WrestleKingdom 11. 

 "I don't think you're a genius at all!

 I think you're a crack head!" 

So with all the craziness going on right now, here's a bit of good news that happened yesterday.

And breaking news out of TNA.

President Scott D'amore has just been fired by Anthem. The guy who just rebuilt TNA, has just been cut from TNA.

Either A. He did something really dumb. Or most likely B. This was purely an Anthem call and they want TNA to be more in line with AEW or TKO's WWE, since TNA is now being folded into the Entertainment arm of Anthem. 

Expect a lot of people to walk if they don't let D'Amore back in. Tons of folks are loyal to Scott and stuck with TNA just for him. With his ability to turn around failing feds and manage them back to stability, he'd be a welcome asset. Maybe Billy Corgan will let him in to revamp the NWA. Or Tony Khan will give him ROH to manage. 

What a year this week has been. 

Scrambled egg mixed with MPF sauce, garlic pepper, Monterey jack, chicken noodle and wonton dumpling soups.

Haven't wrestling fans been discussing The Rock vs. Roman Reigns happening at WrestleMania for the past couple of years though? 

Yes. But they've been discussing Cody/Roman nearly as long. The difference is Cody has bee here putting in the work and tearing his PEC doing it. Dwayne has not.

The tribal civil war is not a bad idea. Until it gets in the way of finishing the story.

I'm getting WrestleMania but Revolution, I'm skipping it.

Welp. Your loss. 

There's so much more going on in the wrestling world, even beyond AEW. I'm not losing sleep over what's happening in Stamford. 

20 minutes ago, TheRockARooster said:

Is anybody gonna watch WrestleMania and/or Revolution?

Definitely Revolution. Haven't missed an AEW PPV and I ain't starting now. Bucks vs. Darby/Sting in the main event, hopefully for the tag titles. Edge vs. Christian in probably TLC. Roddy vs. OC (or maybe Ishii), Toni vs. Perazzo, probably Eddie vs. Danielson III, and I'm guessing Joe vs. Swerve vs. Hangman. They've got the time to build an excellent card. 

One that could be made even better thanks to AEW's budding relationship with CMLL. People are now talking thanks to last weeks Rampage & Collision. They want more Lucha. And they could get it next month.

I feel like this time WWE is doing this on purpose.

I know what they're saying about Dwayne demanding the Roman Reigns match but the fact they acknowledged the anti-Rock chants on Raw makes me

think they've had this planned for much longer than all of the dirtsheets are saying.

If this was WWE's plan from the beginning, why have Cody Rhodes win the Royal Rumble back-to-back etc. if none of it mattered in the end? 

Because it wasn't planned from the beginning. The Rock wasn't a TKO board member till just before the rumble and thus didn't have the sway. Now that he has power and now that the board and the investors have their big name, they think The Rock will make them more many than the American Nightmare. WWE want you to think this was the plan and not them failing to read the room. They just have the hindsight to run with it this time. And it's working. Love it or hate it, people are now paying attention. Like easy E said: Controversy creates cash.

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you all of the passing of actor Carl Weathers at the age of 76. 

The former NFL line backer turned actor. Carl was best known for his rolls as Apollo Creed in the Rocky films, Al Dillon in Predator, Derick Peterson in Happy Gilmore, Combat Carl in Toy Story 4 and as Greef Karga in The Mandalorean. 

Carl had a confidence and a swagger that he could physically back up with ease, but also a charm and charisma that made him feel like one of the guys. He was a guy who played 2nd fiddle to Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger. But it was thanks to him that they had a presence to bounce off of. They would not have been great without Carl Weathers to help define them. He was one of the unsung heroes of Hollywood.

Rest in Power, Carl. May your legacy live on.

I feel like this is a version of the  "Yes movement-esque" storyline to get Cody more sympathy and everything will end up working out. 

They aren't that forth knowing. They want the box office from their board member and to have Cody vs. Seth III to bolster the neo-WHC. So that it is not the cracker jack prize everyone knows it is.

Have their Brutus beefcake and eat it too.

Hey.

Remember when WWE planned to have the main event of WrestleMania be their 3rd generation nepotism champion against an aging part timer from Hollywood? 

No, I am not talking about WM XXX and the Yes movement.
