Good to see The Authority back.
Is the Bullet Club like the NWO?
Looking forward to watching this
I don't watch much pro wrestling at all these days but I can't help but watch a NJPW super show with Jim Ross as the announcer.
It's pretty cool how Jarrett has tried to align himself with the best companies around the world and create a real global brand. Pretty inventive for an indy promotion who has ties to pretty much everyone.
^^
Was that PPV solid? Did you watch it hectis?

--- Vince McMahon and Triple H Butting Heads Over Creative Ideas, Direction Of WWE
World Wrestling Entertainment Chief Executive Officer Vince McMahon and his Executive Vice-President Triple H appear to be at odds over significant creative decisions and the direction of the company. The conflict has reportedly affected the writers of the company when the top honchos of the wrestling outfit are having exclusive meetings and are keeping the main storyline creators out in the dark.
"Word is that some of the WWE writers feel they are once again being left in the dark on certain parts of the booking. Triple H and Vince McMahon have been meeting a lot with just the two of them to discuss creative," the Wrestling Observer newsletter revealed in its latest issue.
McMahon and Triple H's tension apparently began at the tail-end of last year when the company introduced former WCW superstar Sting during the Survivor Series. Triple H is reportedly adamant to continue his rivalry with TNA Hall of Famer and wants more promotion of the bad blood leading up to a grandiose match at Wrestlemania 31 in March. McMahon is on the other side of the fence with the idea and wants to pair his most loyal employee, The Undertaker, instead.
That was the first instance that the public got hold of some tension in the WWE's first family. Apparently there are other items on the menu which also includes the non-supportive stance of McMahon to the Ascension's prominence, the eventual takeover of NXT talents and the resistance to take on long-term contracts for talents. McMahon is credited for some of wrestling's better moves, even taking the company in the doldrums in the early 1980s to a billion-dollar industry that it is now. It would not come as a surprise if the Chairman of the WWE would resist some big changes to his company, including taking it back to the TV-14 classification.
Triple H's team has suggested reverting back to the TV-14 ratings in an effort to revive flailing ratings, but McMahon is resisting the change. Understandably, the company enjoyed a great deal of success in the latter part of the 2000s when its focus in capturing the younger audiences but with ratings suffering, the creative minds are considering alternatives. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer first reported the said consideration but it appears any modification will be made at the latter end of the year as the WWE is still testing the market for its exclusive television network.
-Due to the impending blizzard in the Northeast and statewide travel bans, WWE has postponed tonight's live event in Hartford and cancelled tomorrow night's live event in Boston. Smackdown will air live this Thursday night. Some type of 'Best of' show will air tonight in place of the live Raw.
check two the njpw show was pretty dope. It was a 4 hour show so I watched a lot of it in 1.5 speed and a few matches in like 2 or 3x speed because they were all big dudes who have mediocre workrate (meltzer gave 5 stars to one of these matches haha the open weight championship match). I like JR and AJ Styles a lot so I was intereseted, I've found a lot of shows on dailymotion but haven't really watched many since then. Supposedly their TV show has a dope announcer, its on the channel AXS, I think it used to be HDNet.
NJPW has a good product. It's just really solid. Their jr tag division is pretty sweet too. I always felt WWE should introduce a jr tag title and hire way more juniors, to me they're the most exciting part of wrestling.
Seth Rollins had a sweet phoenix splash in the match vs cena and lesnar. That was a dope match. Rest of show was wack. It was really funny watching the fans get pissed at the end of the rumble.
One of first wwe ppvs I've ever seen honestly and it was garbage besides the good title match.
Finn Balor looks like a fan favorite. How long is his ring entrance? lol
