If they do Toni would pull some out to eat mid-run.

Yay JR's here!

I was a bit sad he didn't get an entrance for the crowd.
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
Yeah bit of a bummer
GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
Glad he managed to make it!
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
I knew he was going to try to be there, but I don't recall anyone saying he was going to make it. He did the last two matches and sounded good so hopefully that means he's doing good!
Travon333@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Only 15 minutes, maybe we won't be exhausted by the end of the night

I did not care about the match.
But they made me care about it tho.

Kayfabe question of the day: What does it mean when Orange Cassidy changes his theme song back?
GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
(Assuming you know what I'm referring to as I don't know if you watch it) I view it the same kind of way when Mayu Iwatani of Stardom does it.
OC comes out to normal music and ring gear = Alright I'm here, who am I fighting? Oh, cool, let's have a good match.
OC comes out to special music and ring gear = Alright I'm here..also sorry cause I'm probably going to murder you in about 10 mins and make orphans of your children.
Just done in a more lazy way than Mayu cause it's OC lol
Edit: Or Naito (minus the music change). Naito shows up for a match in just a t-shirt, he gonna be tranquillo and phone it in. If he shows up in full regalia it's 'omae wa mou shindeiru' time lol.
ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
Had a thought... What if Danielson's final match at All In is against Nigel?
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y
I'd watch that. Loser has to dig for clams!
Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
I thought that too but I think Danielson is retiring at WrestleDream
GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 2y
Hot.
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y
LOL beat him with his own worst move!
Travon333@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
I get why OC was on edge. He can't counter wrestle someone as good as ZSJ.
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y
OC did a hell of a job though! He did a lot more technical stuff than I've seen him do!
Travon333@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Oh 100% at his core OC is a counter wrestle that taunts you to get engagement. ZSJ is a shithead in his own right though and has 2-3 layers of counters for everything
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y
He's such a good shit head
GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
One of the best.
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
The best! The best! The best!
GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
Brought his A-game for sure.
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
Or his O-game! Wait... No. That sounds naughty.
GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
eh, still works.

Oh shit, bonus match!

I much prefer this kinda preshow where it's just extra bangers and not like..1 singles match of people someone forgot to add to the main show.
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
You won't hear me disagree!

Also I guess enjoying that match makes me a certified sicko
Travon333@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y
Nigel sounds so concerned for Danielson, he should retire him for his own good
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
a new joint ppv in japan means omega gets to use final fantasy music. i'm thinking the rebirth remix of j-e-n-o-v-a or the listen to the cries of the planet. :^

I don't know if it'll top when he came out to One Winged Angel at WK last year but fuck it I'm down!
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
he could totally ruin us all emotionally and come out to the jenova life theme T_T
edit: i also wouldn't mind to zanarkand or otherworld
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 2y
To Zanarkand? Are you wanting to see me ugly cry?!?
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
kenny getting the distant worlds orchestra to play zanarkand into balamb garden into aerith's theme. that's it for me i'm done.
GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
Fuck...ok story time. So while I've been gaming since..eh, 1993ish, I sucked at gaming as a kid. By the time I got to the PS2 (having been a Nintendo and PC kid/teen) FFX was my first FF game since 2(4). By the time I got maybe half-way into the game I ran into some kind of stumbling block that I couldn't beat and ended up using a gameshark to make my way easier.
Kept going fine with little problems until I got to the fight with Kimahri and his bros where you fight the two of them. I forget the exact combination of 'uh'oh that triggered shit but since their health was, iirc, based on his health, their health was much....much... higher than mine. It took me about 3.5 nonstop hours to finish the fight.
Pressed on with the game, got to the end, got past Seymour, Yunalesca, made it to the final battle with Yu Yuvon. The phase where he would make you fight your own Aeons or copies of them or whatever it was: I had no capability to knock them out. The gameshark codes I set up included resurrecting your fainted Aeons. Every time I'd knock one out, it was auto-res'd. It was too late to be able to remove the code as well, any attempt didn't fix shit. Game was unbeatable. Fucked myself right up my own arse.
Have bought the game like 4-5x since than counting the remastered and did finally finish it but fuck I was a dumb kid lmao
cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
hornless! hornless!
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
Lol holy shit! I didn't have a GameShark back in the day so I had no clue they could screw up a game like that!
GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
Oh yeah. It's basically directly injecting new data into the consoles RAM on the fly, shit can fuck up easy if you don't think things through beforehand.
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y
Well Okada and Tanahasi are done for the night, black Phillip that was rough
edit: well they're up and wrestling again so that's good lol

Don has been saying it for months! This Ospreay kid is too soft
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y
I think Don's going to kick him out, probably in the most Don way possible
ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
Oh, 100%.
Maybe Ricochet shows up to save his ass. Or maybe Fletcher turns against Callis and stands by Ospreay.
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 2y
By his zero hour match I don't see Fletcher wanting to team with Osprey
Travon333@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Nah Don wouldn't kick him out unless he ignores his advice again and loses to Garcia
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 2y
I dunno I don't think Don is going to be able to get past Will passing up the chance to win the world title

So it looks like, now that the shows are on Triller in the US, you can VPN to another country to make the order and then play the show off VPN.
... Or so I heard.

OK, night 2 of Wrestle Kingdom being a big cross promotional show is pretty rad
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y
It's probably going to get me to watch!
GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
That was a surprise, and a welcome one! And I agree, great time to put it. I know some fans had complained about a 2 night WK but having night 2 be a big interpromotional thing will keep it fresh and it's hard to get bigger than the Tokyo Dome.
Plus it's good to see it happen before the Tokyo Dome gets torn down which I think is relatively soon-ish.

GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
I doubt it'll be too long before she goes full heel tbh, she's too good at it.

Two PPV in a row the TBS title got higher billing than the AEW Women's World Championship. With Baker back into a program with Mone I assume this is gonna continue into future event as well. I feel this devalue Storm's really iconic reign if the new hot star just swoop in, get the secondary title and just get billed bigger than the world champ.
csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 2y
This show is too long and kind of boring at times.
Source: I'm there live.
The gimmick doesn't work since the results are too predictable.
There have been chants for where's the blood during the Mox match.
ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y
I don't know that I agree with that, watching from home.
Honestly, I'm a sucker for the whole "dream match" gimmick.
csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y
For people at home it's easier, but imagine not getting home till past 1am on a work night isn't a great feeling.
GeekFTW@lemmy.zip · 3 pts · 2y
Hence why the rest of us watch from home lol (tho yes that sucks and you're right about the predictable point, most match results were pretty easy to read.)
Montagge@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 2y
Here I am at home surprised we're over 3 hours into the show
csm10495@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y
I had a hint at how long the show will be. The host for our section told us they were told the show can go up to 1230. Lol

I just wish they would do these on Saturday. Every time they've done a PPV on Saturday it's been so much better!
