Jarrett is a tough old dude but he probably isn't about getting kicked to death. To be fair if I threw a worked punch as good as he does I'd wanna work light too.
Stoked they doing the gauntlet at Wembley, it's such a fun match type and I imagine they'll have some surprises, maybe Nigel? I have no idea whether its gonna happen but juvenile ROH mark me wants it so bad

Taz really tried to protect that on commentary. Dragon barely hit his shoulder

Itโs hard to not love Jeff Jarrett. I listen to his podcast when Iโm at work because I work long ass days and I need entertainment and heโs just such a likable guy to listen to talk. At his age getting to wrestle Bryan in a main event role is fucking cool. I didnโt watch it and Iโm sure it wasnโt great by any means but good for double J getting that bag still.

It wasn't a great Danielson classic but I had a good time and it seemed like the crowd did too.
Night 12 of G1. Naito vs Newman was better than I expected, some nice spots and probably the two best destinos in a while. I don't think either guy has had a great tournament but this was a fun short sharp match and Naito shoving Newman out of the ring on the dive in his suit was fun.
Sanada vs O Khan wasn't great. Nothing really bad but just felt too long, not sire how long it actually was but dragged a bit, particularly as O Khan tends to work nest in short fast paced matches or total grapple fests imo. Really nice counter to a Shining Wizard though.
Shota vs Lee was alright and had a really fun closing stretch with a nice comeback that the crowd was real into. Shota is now out of the running which surprised me, I really thought he would make the playoffs. Guess its a bit of a longer term project. Probably the most impressed I have been with Jake Lee so far from memory.
Absolutely loved ZSJ vs Kidd. Probably my new favourite from this tournament. Gabe Kidd came in ready to throw chops and suplices and Sabre Jr being surprisingly down. The immediate pay off when he began the arm work was great, some vicious strikes, the tease of the Gotch piledriver, ZSJ just getting the sleeper over and over. Honestly that just fuckin rocked, I thought it'd be good but it was much better than I expected. It was a performance that makes you feel like Zack might actually be a chance to win the whole thing cos it made him look like a star.
Shingo vs EVIL was more an EVIL match than a Shingo one so that probably tells you how you feel about it. It basically felt like a shorter (not sure of times but felt shorter) version of their Dontaku match but with the stripped time just being all Shingos shine, as he got beat down for the big majority of this. All the usual HoT shenanigans, for better or for worse.
So I believe ZSJ has 1st place locked up and Naito, EVIL, O Khan, Lee and Shingo are able to make it into the next round. Sanada and Shota both being eliminated surprised me, as did Zack locking in 1st place outright. It's definitely been the hardest G1 to predict in a good few years

Haven't kept up with G1 but definitely going to check out Takeshita/Goto and Takeshita/ELP
Liked Dynamite. With my schedule, Saturdays are the best night to really watch stuff and I'm kinda bummed that Collision is in that crappy building now, totally takes me out of it. Feels like WCW Worldwide now instead of another Nitro.

Yeah he seems like heโs gonna die for sure. Looked and sounds awful. God bless the guy for still being around and heโs a legend but maybe just stay in the background somehow.

Slobberknocker definitely works in a sex context even if I don't know how. Between that and hearing that JR used to be able to roll a joint one handed while driving, I realise I never gave the man the credit he deserved for being a sick cunt

Born in Cambridge, billed from Boston, former bouncer in Boston's Combat Zone & one of the greatest minds in the business. All of it accomplished with an "5'9/250 lb" (he was smaller than that) frame. Thank You Taskmaster, now rest.
Anyone know what the "devastating accident" was that he suffered 3 months ago?

Hmm very suspicious death I wonder who would benefit from him being silenced. What a coincidence he died in a year ending in 4 (Horsemen)

Kevin Sullivan was not 5 fucking 9, my short ass is 5โ7 and I feel like Iโm a whole head above him. I hope heโs giving Benoit the stonk right now

anyone who uses cinema to describe pro wrestling should be locked in hell in a cell with a wild starving kodiak bear I mean if you want to debate semantics, wrestling at its core is inherently just a big theater production. So yes it is cinematic theater.

It is a crime Ishii isn't in the G1 but at the same time, it is an absolute blessing seeing him on American television.

ZSJ, Shingo and O'Khan is actually a pretty good final three for A Block, all 3 of them have been great in this tournament. Nothing particularly great on this night but everything was solid (unless you hate Evil and HoT, in which case you will hate him vs Shota a lot)
