Board 8 > All-Purpose Wrestling Topic 443: The Decent Backlash

(+) Yeah! (+)

This NEVER title three-way build is so strange though

Goto feels the spirit of the samurai and wants to defend it against gaijin because it has the Rising Sun on it

Beats Juice and lines up a new proper opponent in Elgin

So of course the next logical step is to have Taichi fuck with them both
---

Taichi vs Yujiro didn't have them both bringing out their girls

Like what is the point of having that match then.
---

Showing respect for Saudi Arabian culture
---

Woo, I never get to watch these live.

If I was booking I'd go Omega/Okada at Dominion and then Omega/Cody in the US. I guess if they want Omega/Okada in the US then maybe we get Okada/Cody at Dominion.
---

Can't believe it's been one week since the GRR.
---

What's the protocol for NJPW spoilers? I'll block them out just to be sure.

Jericho returned and attacked Naito, busted him open real bad with the ring bell. Also he has a sick "Los Ingobernables de Jericho" shirt.

Bullet Club Civil War time now. Hoping for a BONE SOLDIER appearance.
---

Main event was incredible, but that goes without saying.

Dominion card so far looks like:

Okada/Omega - Two out of three falls, no time limit
Naito/Jericho
Switchblade/Juice
Bucks/LIJ
Goto/Elgin/Taichi
---

Sounds like a good show to watch after work
---

"It was noted to us that his feelings were understandable but that his statements should have only been made privately. There were also people noting that he's more replaceable than he thinks he is."
~The Wrestling Observer on Corey Graves speaking out about his position on the Saudi Arabia show
---

When you look at how little WWE has valued good commentary the past 10 years or so no announcer should think they're difficult to replace. WWE would happily just put Percy Watson on color.

Yeah, this. I'm honestly kinda surprised he wasn't immediately released.
---

We should be talking more about Ishimori.
---

I need this shirt:

Ummmmm.....

---

Huh.

Wow.
---

I almost would wager he just wanted out of the contract because he was kinda not being used in any sort of useful fashion.
---

I got fooled guys, but I won't delete it. Reddit tricked me.

Why does WWE not date these articles?
---

Oh.

Good question.
---

I don't think I've ever been worked harder than that.
---

Yeah I just went to the PWB to check it out, it's from the first time he was released.

Damn it lol.
---

I was gonna say, rumors heavily suggested a match with Brock was part of what they lured him in with, so it wouldn't make sense for him to want to leave unless Brock was leaving pre-Summerslam
---

You say your name is scarlet and you like to post wrestling news.

I say your name is scarlet and you're a bathturd.
---

I got worked into a shoot, guys.

HH
---

I want Lashley to do a program with Rusev, so we can add one more known Trump associate who has ties to eastern european individuals with suspected ties to Vladimir Putin.
---

I would be really disappointed if Graves got released. Guy is the only person on commentary worth listening to right now.
---

SHUT UP SAXTON! Don't spoil this for me!

We can't lose that. He's also the only person that gets the Woken Universe. Without him singing its praises, you'd have Cole and Coach just being dumbfounded.
---

So Bianca Belair's match against Candice was something to behold. That chick is like, incredible and will absolutely be big in WWE. She's insanely good and impressively strong. She dead lifted Candice into a military press without effort. It was nuts.
---

I think they'd get quite a bit of pushback for firing him over that. Think about it.

"A drink to remember that no matter how bad WE think we have it, at least our women have rights and we all have freedom of expression,"

That's what he said. He should be rewarded for it, not punished. If they feel he needs to be punished for it, don't let him go on the next trip in November (which is really a reward)

not sure what I was looking at before!!
---

Maybe since you're a serious professional booker you thought you are worth only the best seats.
---

I'm one of the greatest legensuperstars in this entire GAWD
---

Been avoiding the topic until I finished Dontaku

Ospreay vs KUSHIDA was extremely my shit. Ospreay is somehow underrated at this point, and KUSHIDA even more so.
---

Ospreay still has major issues.

I'd give KUSHIDA more credit, because he's the only major opponent who Ospreay can work that way with.

The matches against Hiromu, Marty, Sydal and Ricochet were spectacular athletic feats, but the dude just seemed to want to prove himself as high flyer, which detracts from other aspects.

I don't even know why he does half the stuff he does against Marty, since that guy's not a flippy.
---

Bump

I didnt mean to bump...

I meant to track. Lol

KUSHIDA is one of the best in the world at the moment imo
---

Watching Block A of CMLLs Gran Alternativa from last night

WWE should steal this idea for the next MMC

Each team has one World Champ and one NXT Superstar

Winning team each gets a shot at their appropriate title
---

Sad to learn that PROGRESS doesnt put their shows on-demand for a few days after they air. They were gonna be this weeks new promotion to follow for me to add on to my list to start with the Super Strong Style 16 tournament! Im trying to add one new promotion each week until things get too hard to handle.

Right now Im following:
WWE
NJPW
ROH
TNA
CMLL
AAA
CHIKARA
House of Hardcore
WrestleCircus

So PROGRESS will have to wait until next week. For this week instead, I signed up for Dragon Gate Network! DEAD OR ALIVE is tomorrow!

Ciampa did this on a house show already.
---

Ciampa you bastard
---

Okada and Tanahashi could have a match twenty years from now when both of them can barely move and they'd still find a way to make it *****. Good Lord, I forgot how incredible those two are together.
---

Hey, in 20 years, Okada will only be as old as Nagata is now
---

Yeah, but by that time he'll have fallen on his neck so many times he'll really have an extra ten or fifteen years on him.

---

that's quite a punch

looks like Kushida's been watching Big Show matches
---

Jesus, one of them was to the side of his neck. Probably unpleasant. Softer than the jaw, but still probably painful as fuck.
---

what time does backlash start
---

Pre-show starts in an hour and 45 minutes

PPV an hour after that
