January Wrestling Thread/Tonight NXT 8PM EST/RIP Mean Gene Okerlaud

[danger style]

I got work at 7 am but I’m pulling an all nighter

I really gotta try and remember to take off next year so I can watch it and it go straight to work.

It’s just so much more enjoyable watching it live

Next years show will fall on a Saturday morning so it should be a lot easier to handle haha

Sure.

Same isn't going to happen though. People actually care about Rusev and he isn't past his prime trash.

Gimmick infringement

I got work at 9am but I will be with you pulling an all nighter. Wish I could drink some Sapporo’s but I don’t think that’s a good idea

Someone's gotta do something to get the energy back in this thread

Hot Take: HBK as champ was worse for ratings than NWO

Mojo Riley is a bigger name than Kenny Omega?

Yes. He was in the ATGMBR. Any WWE appearance means more than the top indy.

Sad to hear about Gene Okerlund..He was one of my favorite non-wrestler personalities when I was a kid..My friends that also watched wrestling always used to mess with me cause my dad and Mean Gene look a lot alike..

SD:

- Still not totally into Becky's schtick, but the Becky/Cena stuff was a hoot.

- Fatal 5 way match was fantastic. Wish somebody else would've won but Styles & Bryan IV should be still be really good.

Also finally watched the rest of NXT and caught up with NXT UK..

- No commentary during the Gunner match was weird as hell. at the crowd only reacting when he hit his finisher because the match was finally over. Still not feeling the MAGA Sons.

- Tag title match was cool.

- Toni looking thick af during that opening promo.

- Jordan Devlin is literally non-zesty Finn Balor. They're even from the same place and got the same voice

- Isla Dawn so f'n cute, that I almost didn't notice the fact that she's a very bad promo. Allstar's ex got a long ways to go

- I still can't take Eddie Dennis seriously. Tall *** barista.

- They HAAAAAAATE Zack Gibson holy hell man

- Marcel Barthel, I'm a fan. Kinda gives me Regal vibes(the way he carries himself.) They're low key starting to form Ring Kampf in NXT already with him and Aichner...and WALTER will be there soon @PLVN

He doesn't deserve that name.

What matches are you looking forward to? Heavyweight tag match (even though the bucks just got added for no reason), ibushi/ospreay should be nuts, Okada/White - like white a lot. Wondering who the mole on CHAOS is, main event should be really good.

Hope its Beretta. Dude had a lot of momentum last year then dropped off.

Man now I’m torn. I wanna enjoy the show with some Japanese brew or whisky but I also wanna watch it live. I also don’t wanna be struggling to stay up watching it. Might get some Japanese alcohol and food to watch wk13 after work Friday.
