Promo battle of the year.

 

Promos in Japanese go so much harder

Even the pro-wrestling world is in mourning of Power Rangers icon Jason David Frank.

Legit hope New Day brings back the Ranger gear they had for tomorrow as a tribute

I wonder if Ethan Page will say anything about JDF's passing? He's a big Power Rangers and "Tommy" fan.

I skip WWF's lightheavyweight and hardcore matches because I honestly think both are very repetitive with wrestlers I don't care about.

Rewatching old WWF shows has made Big Boss Man into my least-favorite wrestler of the AE because his matches then were so boring.

I came in just before PG, so delving back on YouTube for hardcore matches was fun. But hearing the 24/7 title (rip) nonsense on a weakly basis, yeah Id inagine things getting dull. Even watching X division and junior heavyweight matches excelled past what WCW did, and they were lightyears ahead of what WWF did in their pale imitation. 

NOAHs got good juniors. But their choice if champ is baffling. Hayata isn't bad per se. But he's outshined by everyone else. All he's got going for him is his gothic street punk look that makes Jeff Hardy look like the yellow dog.

I think "botch compilation" wrestling videos are more fun to watch nowadays, TBH.

More like watching other people reacting to those types of wrestling videos.

WWE Survivor Series tonight...

 

 

It's too bad William Regal was let go before he could shout "War Games!" on the main roster.

When will Juice Robinson face Orange Cassidy in a "Chris Jericho and Christian* on a Pole" match? 

*I remember Jericho and Christian calling themselves "Vitamin C" a few times when they were teaming during the Ruthless Agression Era.

"Swerve in our Glory" sounds like the title of a Vince Russo/Kurt Angle shoot interview.

Vince McMahon is returning to WWE, huh? That's what the clickbait sites are saying but I haven't seen anything from WWE themselves.

Not if the drop in stock price at even the mere rumor of him pulling a Palpatine has anything to say about it. 

In nicer news, finally watching NJPW x Stardom: Historic Crossover. And I'm seeing something most collab shows tend to overlook. 

Style and synergy.

 I like how all of these crossovers have been happening lately. Wrestling should be a community instead of one promotion against another.

I hope not because I'm enjoying all of WWE's roster for the first time in I don't know how many years. I hope that makes sense.

And we can thank AEW for making that idea bankable again. Everyone wants to work together just to oppose the WWE monolith. NJPW X Stardom has been a good show. They've got presentation nailed down. Everyone looks like a star. Cyberfight nailed that mark as well over the Summer with their super show. Everyone from NOAH to DDT to TJPW getting grand entrances and stylish gear. American promoters forget that wrestling itself needs to be a spectacle. Giant HD screens, musical guest stars, celeb appearances and pyro don't make your wrestling product look cool unless your wrestlers themselves look and act cool. 

And yeah, it does make sense. There's high morale and no need to walk on egg shells anymore. Think what you will of Trips in the ring, but he's a fan at heart and wants to see WWE flourish, for his employees and the fans. He's proved himself to those that matter and those who matter aren't keen on wanting a Vinny Jr. return.

I like the Wrestle Kingdom* stage with all of the lightbulbs and the long enterance ramp. It is simple but grand at the same time. 

WrestleMania is cool but I don't care about the musical acts or celebrity guests, I watch wrestling for the wrestling. 

*On second thought, that might've been a WCW show in Japan.

I don't know what WWE thinks internally, but I'm happy that most of the wrestlers who have been released were brought back

particuarly Emma and Dakota Kai.

Also, William Regal is a great talent scout from what I've heard so if that's what his new role ends up being then WWE's future is looking bright, IMO.
