Watching the Ultimate Warrior's Hall of Fame speech is like turning on CSPAN to watch a filibuster.

Hot angles, title changes, major happenings. GREAT show. Two MOTY contenders.

So, there's AJ Styles, whomever comes out on top of the Naito/Ishii feud and of course Nakamura as challengers for Okada.

Does he actually drop the belt for a short run for AJ?

If you thought Friday night was good you should have seen me work as ACH agent on bourbon street last night ...

The Young Bucks © v. Kota Ibushi/El Desparado @ Invasion Attack (4/6) ***3/4
Tomohiro Ishii © v. Tetsuya Naito @ Invasion Attack (4/6) ****3/4
Hiroshi Tanahashi © v. Shinsuke Nakamura @ Invasion Attack (4/6) ****3/4

Marked out like I was 7 years old when Nakamura won the match with the Bomba Ye with THE OTHER KNEE.

Also, awesome AJ Styles run in. YOUNG BOY. I'm guessing he is the new leader of BULLET CLUB?

I love how Invasion Attack has become this big show for New Japan. Awesome show.

It is pretty awesome being a fan of wrestling right now.

New Japan is putting out an amazing product. Two years later, they are still firing on all cylinders and infusing a ton of English speakers.
The WWE is filled with great stuff, you just got to sift through hours of footage every single week. Their top programs are solid to great.
Awesome wrestling in the Indies and around the world has never been more accessible.
Old stuff has never been more accessible...AND NOW ITS IN HD!
Business is starting to pick up as well.



Just this weekend, I've got four ****3/4 type matches. Numerous other *** quality stuff. And WrestleMania hasn't even started yet.

Larry, I don't want to sound like I'm as clueless as I'm likely to sound, but is there a significance to the idea of a 4.75 star match? Is it just that you don't give 5's out easily?

I will now go back to just quietly reading this thread and never commenting because I feel out of my league.
