Man, with all the hyperbole in wrestling and the general attitude towards big men, I sometimes forget that Mark Henry was a god damn fine athlete and legitimately the world's strongest man. Good for him getting into the International Sports Hall of Fame (Pain).

Random thought from Bidoof (with slight NJPW spoilers):




Hiroshi Tanahashi's title reign being ended by Kazuchika Okada was dumb.

I'm surprised they gave it to him so quickly after his return. I thought he wouldn't win it until later in the year or even next year. I've never been a big fan of his, and his Tokyo Dome show was garbage, so yes, I'm disappointed too!

should have been nakamura. one of the best in the world

As much as I like Nakamura, I thought they were going to eventually have Tanahashi drop it to Naito personally.

Either way, the title change was a bad idea because Tanahashi was working well on top and nobody was really into Okada in his return match.

Absolutely.

Although it's definitely more of a theme for a young guy. It'd be kinda weird if Triple H was still using it now.

Maybe they'll drop it quickly to Naito and set up another match between their two big faces? Who knows. As long as Okada doesn't get a lengthy reign, I'm cool.

I don't see how they could keep the title on Okada for long considering that both his return and title win didn't get over.

At the very least, he isn't going to be holding onto it for a year. No way is that happening.

they were sold to a company of wrestling enthusiasts who will let Jado and Gedo continue to book, considering NJPW has turned it around under them. even if the new company wanted to change things around, companies in Japan, especially NJPW, don't just majorly change the direction of their main event scene in a few short weeks (outside of injuries and deaths). this has probably been in the works for months.

I'd be surprised of the 1/4 show this year hit 30k! They haven't really sold out the Dome in years.

Yeah, they bought NJPW because they love wrestling and they didn't think Yukes had capitalized enough on merchandising, and Yukes needed to sell because THQ is in dire straights and might lose the WWE license. Unfortunately, the new company leveraged a lot of capital, so it's not the safest of bets.

Meltzer said they've been planning this since before the new year.

Though I dunno if he's stilll credible when it comes to japan stuff.


The title change? If so I'm not surprised. Meltzer is a bit out of touch with Japanese sources though.

Ehh they already had a no DQ match between Orton and Barrett. Orton won - Barrett was close, but Orton got his foot on the rope after Barrett did his finisher and Orton won with an RKO on a chair. That seems to have been the feud-ending match.


Orton winning at EC then.

Like Orton was going to put anyone over.

Plus they needed to give Orton the momentum so that he could solidify Daniel Bryan.

By beating him for the title at some point.

This is the Randy Orton method now apparently. He'll feud with some guy, help them get over a bit, but then win in the end so the guy sort of gets over but not too much. Did it with Mark Henry (not as bad since his "win in the end" was just a beat down on a random Raw), did it with Cody, now he's done it with Wade.

Daniel Bryan is undefeated since winning the World Heavyweight Championship, isn't he? He's been averaging, like, 1.75 matches a week, and he's won all of them. Someone feel free to correct me on that.
