I choked on my Sprite laughing when I read that and now I can't get the mental image of an anime Goldberg coming out to the ring chanting variations of his own name over and over out of my head.  

And I think I'm going to rename my Machamp now.

I wish I could remember all the wrestlers I've met.  Nobody recent, but I met several indie and WWF wrestlers in the 80's when I was going through treatment for Leukemia when they would visit hospitals.  I used to have a ton of autographed pictures, but they ended up misplaced when we moved in the mid 90's.  

I do somewhat remember meeting Andre the Giant and making him laugh because I said when I grow up I either want to be big like him or a cyborg.

I'd love to watch it! Is it online anywhere?

I think NJPWWorld will carry it, but it hasn't happened yet.

Card is pretty cray.

Watched it with a friend last year on PPV. It was absolutely the most amazing time I've had watching wrestling with a friend since the RA era.

Having JR there was a plus, even if he wasn't in top form.

I dunno if I watch it this year though.. I can't stand commentary that isn't in my own language. Is it gonna be broadcasted in English?

This is a great time btw to remind people to DVR NJPW on AXS TV if they have that channel. Mario Ranellio is THE best wrestling commentator since JR and he is absolutely perfect. Josh Barnett is also terrific but holy shit Mario can announce for a snail race and make it entertaining.

Yep, sadly JR won't be calling it, but there'll be a broadcast with Kevin Kelly and Matt Striker.

I will miss "That's Shinsuke Nakamura, the King of Strong Style. What does that mean? That means he's a badass."

AND HERE WE GOOOO

SUNDAY NIGHT RAW Tables, Ladders and Chairs and Stairs?!

I'll have it on in the background while doing literally anything else.

I caught the pre-show for Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch. There was no need for that commercial. I'm not watching the rest.

Did you guys know that Leviathan is actually CM Punk?

Because he's the BEST IN THE WHOORRRRLLLLLLLL.

I think the women's division of WWE is killing it right now. They do more technical wrestling than the Men's Division has done in decades. It's funny when I stopped watching a few years ago the women's division was alll about flips and shit, I come back and it's submission hold city and it's awesome.

I'm a freaking huge Paige fan now.

I have forever been a Roman Reigns fan for biased reasons: He is basically the real-world equivalent of my make-him-in-every-game-since-wrestlemania-2000-on-the-n64 CAW. I like the guy and what he brings, when he's allowed to actually use it. Don't give him a mic. Don't make him cut witty Cena-esque promos. Just let him go out and do what he did last night.

He looks good when he's smashing people with chairs. I think the superman punch and spear are weak looking moves, and if he replaced them with actual wrestling moves I would be much more impressed. I want to like him. I really do. He just needs to be allowed to do his own thing and I think he'd be a really great star. I cut my teeth on the Attitude Era, and I get the feeling guys like The Rock and Stone Cold were given a lot more chances to break out and be their own people than the roster does now.

The women's division is putting on some killer matches. Sasha and Becky put on a good match on the pre-show, and that super long commercial, on a service that I pay for, DURING THE CONTENT THAT IS THE REASON I SUBSCRIBE just pissed me off. But man, when they are allowed to to their thing for longer than five minutes, they put on awesome matches. The WWE has so much great talent right now. Management is terrible.

But for wrestling that has never let me down...

CAN YOU FEEL THE HYPE?!

Just posting this as it came up in chat with Warren. I've got some old CoH buddies who I'll be playing this with in between the ending of one game and beginning of another. The system it runs off is pretty easy to pick up and seems like it's going to be a lot of fun.

Wrestling RPG? That's... something I never considered. Huh. Let us know how it goes! I have friends who thought I was crazy when they heard I like wrestling ("u no wrestling is fake rite, lel") but when I explained to them that wrestling is a style of performance art that mimics an athletic competition and has elements of lost theatrical styles that are otherwise entierly niche in modern times, they tend to come around to my thinking. I wonder if they'd indulge me by trying out a wrestling RPG.

Tomorrow night! Ring of Honor Final Battle tomorrow night! I hope Dalton Castle gets his boys back.

I remember there was some wrestling RP sites that used WWE games as their source for wins and losses.

Back when I played those games, specifically WWE '13, we would choose a wrestler to RP (I had JBL) and we would engage in feuds based on the GM who was basically the admin of the site that paired us up in feuds.

We would start threads and RP our promos out, then face each other in-game. But when we faced each other it wasn't like normal people playing the game, we actually tried to make it look like an actual wrestling match with a slow build and all. No running grapples or anything like that, literally acting like we're pacing the ring at each other and throwing punches occasionally, y'know, rp'ing it out.

Eventually there would be a winner and we'd post the results, do promos again, etc.

It was seriously fun, but not very popular. I maybe took part for about two months.
