OHMYGOD!

 

I have nothing to say but that. I am serious.

 

Vince must had too many drinks Holloween Night.

 

The next day, he makes the smartest desision in the history of the busness. Getting the last great known Announcer, and my Favorite of the Bunch, Joey Styles to do Play By Play.

 

He WAS THE KING of the PPV. I am sorry. The way he covered Flair/HHH was near masterpeace. He made that Match (along with Flairs unbeliveble ablity to still be master and commander of the Ring at age 60) into a near **** star match. Ross should be proud at the fact that Vince finally made the right choice.

 

As for most of the PPV... UGH. All the faces won (which its a better trend- let the heros be heros) and the Fans want a more (TNA/ROH) workrate out of the Champ Cena because there starting to hate his guts...

 

This is after Christan quits, Torrie gets fired, Austin didnt want to Job to Coach...

 

And looking at the TNA Clash of Champions coming up on Thursday- We do have a competer in our mist...they Just Need Dan The Dragon/Or Eddie Gargulio and TNA would be set for a real Monday Night/Friday Night/Saturday Night wars.

 

The only issue is, where does New Japan fit in to the wars? Does Simon Inoki and Dixie Carter use Brock Lesnar as a wedge to get TNA and New Japan to american audeances and have McMahan quaking in his boots? Or Vince Uses the upcoming ROH/TNA war as a true WWE/TNA/ROH/UFC/NEW Japan/NOAH free for all for the future of the buisness?

 

This is becoming the most intresting time in a long while. I would not be suprised if there will become new Stables wars (because thats the only reason why WCW stayed as long as it did, the NWO/Four Horseman/WCW wars) Didnt Liger stated he was willing to make his CTU unit global? and if ROH is on the Noah side of things...

 

Damn I am just thinking too much into things... Match Results!

 

(No Smackdown Results Until Saturday- only Taboo Tusday results and Impact Results)

 

Rey Rey & Matt Hardy vs Masters & Snitsky

 

They are protecting Edge for now... Surivor Series the game really starts...

 

Eugene & Snuka vs Conway & Tomko

 

Superfly does it again...

 

Mankind vs Carlito

 

** stars.

 

Kane & Show vs Cade & Murdoch

 

Batista vs Coach

 

They protected him Big Time. And at least he gets paid...

 

Battle Royal (Womans Title) The Mickie James Storyline is going to work, and might be the only good storyline on RAW...but can the work rate match up when it comes to SurviorSer?

 

Flair vs HHH

 

Flair continues to amaze me after all these years. When he was younger, he could not be stopped. 60 years young and the man can still pull out *** and 3/4 star matches and it pisses me off...

 

Cena vs Michaels vs Angle

 

...that your 25 year old champion cant. It makes no sence to me. UGH, and he used to be much better in OVW.

 

Now Impact:

Now Puro News:

 

Antonio Inoki returned to the United States from Tokyo. Inoki said that he supported the current restructuring that is happening in the company and that Choshu would continue causing ripples from his changes. Inoki said that he was determined to change and that he had an iron will.

 

Razor Ramon HG had a public training session with Shinjiro Ohtani & Taichi Ishikari (playing the role of professional jobber) today. This was to promote the Hustle Mania show on 11/3 at Yokohama Arena. The fun doesn't end there - check out HG's new face mask and Hustle posing. The greatest part about all these skits is that HG (Sumitani) is actually a very good amateur wrestler and was Tanahashi's rival in Osaka in college.

 

Razor said that he had to slow down on his pelvic thrusts in order to give his hip-swiveling a tune-up so that he would be back to good shape. At the public workout, Ishikari made fun of HG which prompted HG to beat him up. HG gave Ishikari a high-angle dropkick and then put him in a modified cobra twist, which HG is calling the "comaratwist." It's a cobra twist with pelvic thrusting action. Razor gave Ishikari a Tombstone Pile Driver and decided to call this move the "69 Driver." Razor also showed off his devastating "Hard Gay Triangle Lock" submission hold. To finish off his comments, HG stated that when he applies his new and exciting moves on Yinling the Erotic Terrorist, he will imagine that he is putting the holds on Kawada and get excited/aroused.

 

After losing the tag titles today to Chono & Tenzan, is the Nakamura/Tanahashi tag team about to break-up?

 

Junji Hirata (Black Strong Machine) criticized Riki Choshu for being at the Hustle show, stating that if Choshu was really a boss, he would have been at the Kobe show to oversee the two title matches on the card. Osamu Nishimura said that Riki Choshu has come back to New Japan to turn the company from a democracy into a communist state.

 

The promotion's marketing plan for their 1/4 Tokyo Dome show is starting to go into effect. According to Nikkan Sports, the promotion in touting that they will try to break the Guiness Book of World Records for the amount of shows consecutively (on the 1/4 date) at the Tokyo Dome. The promotion has ran the Tokyo Dome on every January 4th date since 1992.

Antonio Inoki arrived at Narita Airport last night and was quick to comment, promising chapter two of New Japan's major reform in the near future. Chapter one was the return of Riki Choshu, and Inoki again gave his full support to Choshu, who is creating a storm backstage in order to organize the company. Inoki supports the "restructuring" (refining the roster) idea, but doesn't like that word being used. Inoki said the second stage of New Japan's reform could be even bigger than Choshu's return. Choshu attempted to provoke wrestlers into action by saying New Japan may collapse after the 1/4 Tokyo Dome show if they don't all step up, and although Inoki admitted those words are a little drastic, he is happy with the aggressive stance being taken in order to strengthen the company.

 

There are continuing rumours about New Japan and NWA TNA's working agreement. Several American news sites say there is talk of bringing back the World X Cup in 2006, with the focus of it being New Japan vs. NWA TNA. Negotiations are ongoing for TNA stars to appear at the Tokyo Dome on 1/4, and Japanese blogs have found out. AJ Styles seems to be the one whose appearance would create most interest, as he has developed a strong reputation in Japan.

 

New Japan will celebrate Christmas with a special Korakuen Hall show on Xmas Day (12/25) this year. This has just been announced and could be the new date for "DREAM * WIN" this year, as Korakuen is booked up on 12/23. New Japan also has a Korakuen show on 12/18, which was thought to be the company's last show of 2005 until now.

 

Koji Kanemoto vs. Black Tiger is now up on IWTV if you have access. Very strong reviews of this match from Japan, saying it helped establish Black Tiger tremendously, and I would love to hear your thoughts.

 

Choshu gave an interview to Tokyo Sports the other day. I don't have full details, but some interesting stuff. He said New Japan is in its version of an Ice Age, but he wants to melt that ice and restore it to its old state. He called for all existing factions to disband, wanting a clean slate, and that may already be going into effect with Chono having some new allies, Nakamura and Tanahashi splitting (Choshu's idea), and TJ wavering. Choshu has forced all wrestlers to travel on the tour bus, no special exceptions, and he himself travels on it. He has been watching the tour and two wrestlers he has never seen have shone in his eyes: Naofumi Yamamoto and Akiya Anzawa. He wants those two on the priority list, so this would explain Yamamoto's recent development and win over Kakihara. It would seem Nagao has also made an impression judging by his own progress. Since Choshu's first real booked tour is "BATTLE FINAL 2005" (11/23 to 12/11), there may be structural differences on the next tour.

 

Weekly Fight had some notes on New Japan this week.

 

- Antonio Inoki's earnings have dropped sharply in the last year, because his office isn't working closely with PRIDE and K-1 anymore (LYOTO is rumoured to have left the Inoki Office for this reason), and Fight said he is relying on Fujita and Lesnar right now for profits.

- There is ongoing discussion about President Horie, the young mastermind behind Livedoor, being involved with either New Japan or the Inoki Office. Could this have something to do with Inoki's comments from above?

- There has been some talk that veterans of New Japan could transfer their affiliation to the Sakaguchi Dojo for whatever reasons. They could train there, it could be part of a storyline, or it may be a way of keeping them without having them signed to annual salaries in January.

- Choshu told Hirata to return to Tokyo and make a choice - concentrate on being a pro wrestler or leave the company.

- Mention of Simon Inoki's trip to NWA TNA, where he was introduced to the crowd on their recent PPV. Simon suggested an idea of "new fighting" by sending Nakamura and Tanahashi to fight TNA's top line of stars.

- Choshu will go into intensive negotiations with BIG MOUTH LOUD when this tour ends. His aim is to confirm Masakatsu Funaki's 1/4 participation. There have been some complications over Funaki between the sides lately, as BML wanted his return match to be in their company against Shibata, but 1/4 is before whenever BML will run its next show.
