Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.

Also, Lance Archer has looked amazing thus far. That's a big man that can work and his mullethawk is incredible.
I actually think Okada wins it and picks Naito... [Reply]

They haven't had the champ win in a very long time so I could see that happening too. I also don't want a G1 final of Ibushi vs Naito because they might legit kill each other based on what they did at Dominion. [Reply]

Every match they have has me scared to death lol...I'd love to see Ishii win the B Block honestly. [Reply]

We are exactly where we were 2 and a half years ago after last night's Extreme Rules."

She's on twitter saying reactions are fine but being rude and disrespectful is not.
There is one thing a wrestler should care about getting and that is a reaction. Negative reactions are just fine, unless its go-away heat. Honestly there just aren't enough wrestlers that want pure heel heat. Everyone wants to be a tweener. I think that's why MJF stands out in AEW. He is just a complete dick all the time and he gets nuclear heat. [Reply]

It's one of the reasons NJ works so well, everyone is versatile enough to flip flop and play the role necessary and get the reaction needed for that particular match.
Hell I remember a couple of years ago in the G1 Okada playing a straight dick heel against Kojima and it worked completely, was awesome.
The WWE nor their roster can manipulate a crowd like that, it's just so straight forward and damnit you should cheer everything...we're all so good. No versatility. [Reply]

I think Okada could get just about anything over. He even did a crazy/goofy gimmick and it was great. [Reply]
