Winning the G1 Climax is more like the Money in the Bank briefcase without the anytime anywhere stipulation. The winner is guaranteed a title shot down the line (along with a trophy and giant check).

Im hoping if TNA gets dropped from spike, they'll replace it with sumthing, more then likely it'll be GWF, but i wouldnt mind ROH or even like an american version of AAA or NJPW. Well they're not getting an American version of AAA since that's already coming to some network called El Rey from what I've heard. GWF as in Jeff Jarrett's group? Ahahaha. I love how everyone seems to be so hyped for a promotion that hasn't even really started.

Not just a title shot down the line, a title shot at their biggest show, Wrestle Kingdom (so their WrestleMania) which takes place every January 4th.

Oh, speaking of trying to get into watching a company, anyone know anything about PWG? Been hearing good thing in general but I feel like it was a sign when someone who actually is a wrestler (and hasn't worked with them in years evidently) says they're one of the best I should take that as a recommendation, although months later still don't know where to start Possible double post, but www.voicesofwrestling.com/2013/08/15/catching-you-up-with-pro-wrestling-guerrilla/ is a good place to start, though I don't know much myself, and it's from 2013. Cole and Young Bucks have both lost their respective titles as of last weekend (Cole lost in May, Bucks lost Saturday or Sunday. But they are excellent. Also, they only do shows once (back to back night if its a two-night event) every month or two or three, depending on how it goes. They sell DVDs, which is really the only way to see them. Some I think are around online, but because it's an indie, and a well respected one at that, they tend not to be susceptible to the morally ambiguous section of the Internet.

I wish I could get El Rey here. They've just signed to get over 200 titles out of the Shaw Brothers library.
Yeah, forgot about the G1 Climax/Wrestle Kingdom connection. That only started a few years ago though.

I believe that the two things Spike didn't want TNA to do were: 1. No man on woman violence 2. No Vince Russo Guess which two things TNA has done recently while they were having negotiations with Spike?
TNA: So very very stupid.

#ItHappens next week. Don't know if Spike will actually show it and not freeze frame it. But #ItHappens. Do you mean something involving a very very very breaky breaky breaky BISHI BISHI! and a certain someone Yes he does, they spoiled it at the end of this weeks Impact Destination X (Free on Spike TV for a limited time only ), they even put it up on their youtube as I found out as I went to check for reference in this thread. In a way that seems stupid spoiling it but considering the build for months I can understand why they'd want to draw people in, trying to get those higher ratings during negotiations they claim to be still having. (Can't say it's too credible of sources, Viacom has to cover their a** and Dixie is someone who lies to them about who is working with their company). No I think what was really stupid of them to spoil (for the fans in attendance and then from that clip) is in regards to the mystery parter, I'm not going to say it but imply it from a context clue but I'm going to be nice and spoiler tag implied spoilers hint, they handed out an item to the crowd, an item that you don't expect as a typical wrestling item who will put one person in mind. Granted I don't think anyone is too excited for that but maybe someone is hoping it might be someone more relevant lol But more importantly, you win for that reference. And if anyone hasn't seen it, you should. I believe that the two things Spike didn't want TNA to do were: 1. No man on woman violence 2. No Vince Russo Guess which two things TNA has done recently while they were having negotiations with Spike? TNA: So very very stupid. I just have to say this: Meanwhile, at Spike TV offices: I don't get why they're stupid enough to hire someone who Spike TV specifically tells them not to hire, and on top of that someone who is hated by the owner of a promotion they're partnering with which might put their next PPV (and the one TNA feels is their biggest) in trouble... That's just plain stupid...

People round the internets are saying that this is a MOTYC.
BTW: Hearing a crowd do the Kaze Ni Nare! thing live is awesome.

When Bonski uploads the night, watch Night 8. It's one of the best events of the year, and definitely the tournament.

Anyone up for having a guessing game for Summerslam when the full card is out?

Post by thatoneuser on Aug 4, 2014 8:18:33 GMT -5
Sure. By the way, pretty sure this is the card. My predictions for winners in bold:
Brie Bella vs. Stephanie McMahon Jack Swagger vs. Rusev in a Flag match Bray Wyatt vs. Chris Jericho Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins Roman Reigns vs. Randy Orton AJ Lee (c) vs. Paige for the Divas Championship The Miz (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler for the Intercontinental Championship John Cena (c) vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE WHC
EDIT: Wouldn't doubt an Usos vs. Stardust/Goldust match but the Usos have been mysteriously quiet as of late.

Bella (even if Steph wins, she'll eat it somehow like she always has) Swagger (it's time for Rusev to take the L) Wyatt (Righting Jericho going over at Battleground) Rollins (He's not going to lose their first actual match against each other on the main roster) Reigns (Could go either way, but if Roman is supposed to be the next #2 guy) AJ (Also not sure of this one) Ziggler (This is just bias) Lesnar (This is just logic)
EDIT: As a fan of Suzuki, I do believe Kaze Ni Nare is one of the best themes ever. He's a heel with a face theme. He'd be face if he didn't have Suzuki-gun. The heel dichotomy right now in NJPW is Bullet Club (full blown heels), Suzukigun (heels, but a couple members are popular in spite) and CHAOS (technically heel, but lean more face when facing the other two stables, especially now that Iizuka and Yujiro defected).

My predictions would be: Stephanie Mchmahon (I sense a Nikki Bella heel turn, and still no-one will give a crap, also a heel not named Brock or Seth needs to win and Bray is practically a face so...) Jack Swagger (Its a flag match so they can protect Rusev and get a big pop from Swagger. Then he smokes more weed and gets an even bigger pop from the IWC) Bray Wyatt (REVENGE!) Seth Rollins (Could go either way, Rollins should go over via Kane interference though or something like that) Roman Reigns (Cus he's gonna be Ryback 2.0 and he isnt called Boreton) AJ Lee (Meh Paige sucks even though her family lives like 5 miles from me ) The Miz (I want to say Ziggler but I know The Miz will get a sneaky win) Brock Lesnar (I'm praying so hard that it is a clean win or at worst Cesaro interferes so we can have a Cesaro vs Cena feud, if Cena wins the IWC will explode, as its basically saying Cena>The Streak, so Lesnar must win)
