Foley/Outsiders In Goldberg Out

[Guest jm29195]

Goldberg has pulled out of his scheduled match against Toshiaki Kawada at the 5/8 HUSTLE-3 event in Yokohama, Japan. Goldberg apparently pulled out due to some sort of injury.

 

He will be replaced in the match by Mick Foley, who will be returning to wrestle in Japan for the first time since 1996. Foley is already in Japan getting ready for the match. He is not currently under WWE contract which is why he is able to work in Japan.

 

Kevin Nash & Scott Hall are also set to work the event. They will face Shinya Hashimoto and Naoya Ogawa. This is the first time the Outsiders will work in Japan since the height of the nWo's popularity years ago.

You're that big of a Nash fan?

 

Seriously, it's cool to see Foley back in Japan. And he's probably going to have five times the match Goldberg would have had.

i really dont know....Kawada's pretty good and Goldberg's a power wrestler with some kicks, like a really crappy version of Kawada....Mick Foley is a bumper so unless he gets kicked in the face a lot this might not be too good

Why? Foley/Kawada probably won't be much outside of a markout moment and Outsiders vs. Hash/Ogawa will be pure shit.

[Guest Black Tiger]

At least we know Foley will sell in the match, plus I'd bet Kawada has more respect for Foley than he did Goldberg. Now Kawada is a lock to keep the Triple Crown. I wonder what JR thinks, since Foley is wrestling in a place that is "sucking pond water"?

Edit: Something interesting form KrisZ's post:

 

Triple Crown Champ Toshiaki Kawada was very angry today when he heard that Bill Goldberg pulled out of his match against Kawada on HUSTLE-3 at Yokohama Arena on 5/8 and Kawada basically called Goldberg a coward for doing that. Kawada said that he will be working the match injured, so why couldn’t Goldberg, but Kawada said that he thought that Goldberg was actually a man, which he doesn’t really believe anymore. Kawada then basically buried his new opponent Mick Foley by saying that only fans of hardcore wrestling in Japan know who he is and he isn’t worthy of a shot at the Triple Crown. Kawada said that Takada Monster Army Generalissimo Nobuhiko Takada should come out and apologize to the fans before the HUSTLE-3 show for Goldberg not being there and for having Foley being a substitute.

lol and how many average american fans know Kawada?

 

I think someones a bit bitter that they work for the shit fed that does not have any sort of actual roster beyond 10 or so people so they have to do this shit with goldberg,outsiders,etc.

DSE is putting on the HUSTLE shows, and Kawada doesn't work for DSE. Kawada works for All Japan, who definitely have a roster beyond ten or so people. I think the chain goes that Zero-One works with DSE, and All Japan works with Zero One.

Is Kawada playing the heel here?

If Kawada came to the US and challenged for the WWE title in his first match, you might have a point.

 

Or was it just a "joke" that we didn't get?

[Guest Hot Ticket]

Sorry i struck a nerve with the puro fiends

[Guest RickyChosyu]

Then maybe it should occur to you, after the 7th or 8th time youv'e done this, that you shouldn't be responding in this folder in the first place. You're trolling, and if Mike would do his job, you'd already be gone from the folder.

[Sass]

Ricky is right.

 

Trolling isn't allowed here at TSM and is one of the few automatic ban worthy matters. You've also made a nuisance out of yourself in the HD and LSD folders and have managed to bring your ignorance to the Puro folder as well.

 

Later Hot Ticket.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Yeah, Foley is an accomplished and respected worker in America and Japan, and is a multi-time WWE Champ. He's a name by any stretch of the imagination, and Kawada should respect him for that. Not to mention what Foley has given to wrestling fans over the years of himself, physically and emotionally is a true testament to the man's love of the business. That's not to take away from what Kawada has given, by any means.

I'm pretty sure it was a work to build heat for the match.

Foley did fuck-all in Japan. He was a curtain jerker in AJPW, and his Death Match stuff was completely off the radar, other than to hardcore garbage fans. Hence, this line:

 

"Kawada then basically buried his new opponent Mick Foley by saying that only fans of hardcore wrestling in Japan know who he is and he isn’t worthy of a shot at the Triple Crown."

 

Kind of hard to miss that.

 

Also kind of hard to miss that Foley is getting this shot because of his WWF run, not his dedication or his work in Japan.

[The Czech Republic]

I was under the impression that Foley was at least a mid-carder in All Japan.
