I read that Ibushi actually signed a contract with New Japan. Hopefully now he will win championships.
personal preference aside, was it just me or was the reaction of the crowd underwhelming??
i'm glad the elite guys are out of NJPW, even though i like 1/2 of them. that said i actually like jay white but it breaks my heart that he's getting a run with the title while goto has yet to.

He's a former 3x IWGP Junior, a Junior tag, and NEVER champ. Both DDT and NJPW have "athletic counsels" that kayfabe ban freelancers from championships. He still almost won the cup as a freelancer. There's chatter he signed because he agreed to an extended Tiger Mask run if he got a Heavy run.
Probably will be getting some of that Tiger Mask money now!
I'd take Goto, Naito, Minoru, and even Togi again over Jay. Ugh ...
I hope AEW lasts longer than I think because Omega and Jericho walked away from some good storylines.

Also there was a segment after the show where Becky and Ronda beat up The Riott Squad, which should have gotten a great pop. But the crowd was, apathetic.
It was the inevitability of this, and how stale the whole "Evil Authority" thing is, that is turning a lot of people off I think.
I suppose the one small downside there is if/when WWE starts up NXT Japan we probably won't see Ibushi pop up.
But hopefully that translates to him getting a bigger push in New Japan. Not that he hasn't done a pretty descent job wrackig up gold despite being a freelancer.
well looks like the usos ain't winning sunday.
jimmy usos was arrested last night.
Beating up the Riot Squad really doesn't have a whole lot to do with Charlote or the Authority. Maybe the crowd was dead because the crowd was dead.
I guess we'll see where this goes from here. For what it's worth I thought Charlotte did a solid job getting a reaction on Smackdown. We'll see if the crowd is showing any signs of not being interested next week on RAW I suppose.
already done. lol.
but according to the reports, jimmy and naomi were driving and got pulled over. cops smelled booze in the car. then jimmy jumped out of the car, took off his shirt and "squared up" with the cop. other cops came and he complied with them. not sure why he did that but hes out on bond.
