Looking forward to seeing the details of the NJPW video game.

Hopefully they get a solid developer.
 
Cena goes to Hollywood and becomes a part timer and treats everything like a joke when he is there. AJ Styles flies all the way from a live event in Argentina to the US for TLC, a Raw PPV to fill in AND still puts on a great match. Cena gets a way bigger match than him for Wrestlemania. Screw your hard working full timers...
 
To the marks, ** **** represents the antithesis of Vince & the WWE - whether they are even aware of it or not.
He has this going for him more than anything else.
 
Dave Meltzer
"While no style will please everyone, and any change from the style people saw in childhood will make some think it’s worse, the in-ring at the high end went through the roof this year. The number of top tier matches was unprecedented for a number of reasons, and reasons that will probably make this year not an aberration. Among the reasons include for wrestlers outside of WWE, that is how they get noticed, either to become independent stars, or attract the attention of WWE.

Also, the new generation of wrestlers is more apt to not just study top matches much more, because of the easier accessibility, but study not just one style and don’t limit their knowledge to one style. While there are countless styles out there, they are, in time melding together where the younger talent can throw in a little U.K., Lucha, Japanese and old-school American tricks, rather than being a product of where they were geographically born. The Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchika Okada trilogy will probably be the one most remembered, as the modern version of the 1989 Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat series, with both their 1/4 Tokyo Dome and 6/11 Dominion matches winning almost every match of the year awards released so far. All three of their matches, as well as the Omega vs. Tetsuya Naito G-1 final, to me, were among the ten best matches I’ve ever seen with the Dominion match as good or better than anything. But unlike in 1989 where Flair dominated the listings with Steamboat and Terry Funk, the competition was so fierce that a number of matches that would have won in other years won’t even crack the top ten. Jim Ross said the Omega vs. Tomohiro Ishii match in Long Beach was among the best live matches he’d ever seen. The Omega vs. Okada B block final in the G-1 would have easily won match of the year in almost any year, as would the Okada vs. Katsuyori Shibata match. But the year was filled with exceptional match programs, including Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Tetsuya Naito, which would have been remembered as a legendary any other year. Other big ones included Kushida’s series’ with both Will Ospreay and Hiromu Takahashi, Takahashi vs. Dragon Lee, Tyler Bate vs. Pete Dunne, Shuji Ishikawa vs. Kento Miyahara, Tanahashi vs. Kota Ibushi and Okada vs. Minoru Suzuki.

Whether it was New Japan, WWE, Evolve, PWG, RevPro, CMLL, ROH, Progress, AAW, Dragon Gate, All Japan, NOAH, Stardom and countless others, great matches are being turned out so frequently that unless it’s on a big NXT, WWE or New Japan show, they often don’t get close to the credit or have the impact they deserve. In particular, New Japan had some incredible shows during the year, particularly Wrestle Kingdom, Dominion and much of the G-1 and Super Juniors tournament, while NXT Takeovers were as good a two-and-half-hour live event on a consistent basis as pro wrestling has offered."

That’s why AJ is the best in the world.

I look at it a little bit differently. The "bigger" match for Cena is going to be against another part timer/surprise, and unless it's someone like Punk or Bryan, the match itself is probably going to be trash. We don't need AJ wrestling someone like Goldberg. I still think we are going to get AJ vs Nakamura for the title, and it should have a good buildup and should be a great match and program. I actually think it's much better for AJ and he's hardly getting screwed.
