Puro fans, UNITE!

[The_Misson]

Yeah and from the matches he's in it looks like he's joining Minoru Suzuki's evil stable Suzuki gun.

 

[Adam08]

Hey I wondering did you check any of the matches in noah with Luke Gallows. I am interested to hear what other people thought of them?

 

[The_Misson]

I've just seen his 6/03/12 tag match. It was alright. Nothing great, but nothing bad either. I think he might actually workout decently with NOAH since NOAH's heavyweight division is lacking good young talent.

 

[Adam08]

I really liked his tag team with Roddy. I know how some roh fans don't like former wwe guys in roh. But I feel if Luke was in the house of truth him and roddy would be a excllent team for the tag division.

 

[The_Misson]

NOAH has announced that Takeshi Morishima will be defending the GHC Heavyweight Championship against KENTA on September 19.

 

[Arashi]

is there any way I can see that online or something?

 

[The_Misson]

Pretty much just off of Youtube or Dailymotion since I doubt NOAH will do an online PPV for it.

God fucking damnit Kota. You are a colossal fucking dumb shit. What the fuck ever!? Fucking Seth Rollins is too fucking smart do that fucking spot. Jesus.

Also 10,000+ fans for the DDT Peter Pan show.

EDIT: The match is in the spoilers.

[The_Misson]

Yeah I have no clue what that move is. I'll watch the match once I'm done with the NOAH 7/22 show that had Samoa Joe, Magnus & Christopher Daniels on it.

Phoenix-plex from the second rope. You know, an avalanche version of the move he'd used twise before that match - neither of which was kicked out of - to win the KO-D title both times. And it wasn't the god damned finish!

Also it's an insane head drop.

 

[The_Misson]

I'm surprised that wasn't the finish. Don't tell me what the finish was, but just tell me was it something really stupid?

 

[Remix]

I'm surprised that wasn't the finish. Don't tell me what the finish was, but just tell me was it something really stupid?

The finish was akin to AJ Styles hitting the spiral tap but getting the win with a frog splash.

 

[The_Misson]

Would you rate it better or worse then his match with Yuji Hino?

 

[Remix]

I don't even remember his match with Hino. Ibushi's matches are great fun to watch. But then you forget all about them five minutes later.

 

[The_Misson]

Masakatsu Funaki defeated Jun Akiyama for the Triple Crown Championship in a match that lasted under 5 minutes. It's been said that he completely dominated Akiyama and made quick work of the champion.

 

[The_Misson]

AJPW has announced that they will be creating a new title called the GAORA TV Championship. AJPW has also announced that the first champion will be determined by a tournament and has announced the first round match ups.
Seiya Sanada vs. Yuji Okabayashi
Masayuki Kono vs. Tomaoki Honma
Manabu Soya vs. Kazushi Miyamoto
Ryota Hama vs. Yasufumi Nakanoueno

 

[The_Misson]

It has been announced that Kevin Nash will be competing in All Japan Pro Wrestling on September 23. He will be teaming up with Keiji Mutoh to take on the team of Taiyo Kea & Seiya Sanada.

I am completely shocked by this and did not see this coming at all. It will be pretty good to see Mutoh who was a former NWO Japan member team up with Nash who's a former NWO member.

Kota Ibushi defeated KUSHIDA retaining his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title. Afterwards both Low Ki and Ryusuke Taguchi came out and both said that they want a shot at the Jr. Title. Also, it's been announced that Kazuchika Okada has gotten his wish. After winning the G1 Climax Okada announced that he planned to use his challenge at the 1/4 Tokyo Dome show instead of challenging at the very next PPV like NJPW traditionally does. NJPW announced today that they will allow Okada to keep his contract and allow him to challenge for the IWGP Title at the Tokyo Dome, but there's a catch. He will have to defend this right much like you would a title. If Okada loses anytime in a 1vs1 match between now and the Tokyo Dome show. He will lose his right to challenge for the IWGP Title on 1/4 and the winner will be awarded the contract.

 

[Remy LaCroix]

Kenya Kobashi had his retirement show last Saturday drawing a reported 18,000 people and selling ou the stadium it was in. Sad to see him retire after all he's done for puro.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

I watched the match yesterday, not only was it sold-out but John from Puroresu Spirit tells me on Twitter they actually overcrowded the stadium, some fans had slept outside in the cold the night before and they wanted to get some of them in which is freakin' nuts. Former Prime Minister of Japan was in attendance, Hayabusa appeared at the start of the show on forearm crutches to pay his respects and John Laurinitais was in attendance for the show!

If people want to see the match it's on Dailymotion, the amount of respect paid to him is something American wrestling fans will probably never understand. It was like Ric Flair's send-off times ten.

MISSON <3! You and me have got synchtubing to do, mister! It's been too long since I've taken the piss out of CAPTAIN Taichi, Jado/Gedo's anal juice, Strongman and generally marked out for puro wackiness with you.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Actually because I know you'll get it, Misson thoughts on the Bulletclub and Devitt's heel turn?

If you've not seen it yet apologies for spoiling it.
