Gotta say though, the Elite feel like stars at the moment. HUGE reactions from the audience, the new theme. Acting as ****y as the NWO or DX in their prime.

Good era of wrestling this. Have Jericho weirdly having great matches like with Ishii. Even WWE is getting pretty good.

Just need the crowds back for WK

What is WK?

And what is a work? Whatever happened with CM PUnk earlier?

WK = Wrestle Kingdom, the wrestle mania of NJPW, a superb calibre of wrestling and worth a watch from even casual fans

A work is when something seems real but is still actually scripted.

CM Punk had a press conference after the previous AEW PPV where he publicly **** on The Elite for being unprofessional (they are also executive vice presidents of AEW). It was very clearly real bad blood that centred around a close friend of The Elite and a lawsuit with CM Punk several years ago. Both sides seemed to have felt the other were pushing their weight around in unprofessional ways backstage.

After this press conference, the Elite confronted CM Punk and he threw punches, a friend of his bit Kenny, a dog was there. Big drama.

People have been fired. None of this is broadcast, all backstage news. And while investigation was ongoing both CM Punk and the Elite have been off TV. All signs point to CM Punk has been fired or has left the company.

It's mad.

Thanks.

And FFS, I knew what a work was. I asked what were you referring to as a work in this instance. :laugh:

International Captain
New Japan/Stardom joint show was good too. Tanahashi randomly adopting a cowardly heel persona for a second there and stomping out one of the Stardom girls was ****ing hilarious. Of all people to break the mixed tag rules

Genuinely surprised that Omega Ospreay is the “co-main event”. NJPW must think it’ll draw a big international audience. **** I love WK season
