    - it comes out that they wanna run MSG
    - WWE freaks out
    - MSG says that date and no other dates are available
    - Sinclair says it's up to the lawyers
    - ...now it's happening again?

    If Dave's little teases about this year are to be believed, it's gonna be a crazy eight months leading into that show. There's TV people at All In.

    Edit

    Here's a question - if WWE is worth the billion dollar deal from FOX, what's ROH worth? What's New Japan worth?

    Could've swore WWE locked down MSG and used their size to prevent other companies from running it

    Guess MSG changed its mind

    I won't be able to watch G1 live this year because I have a summer class I have to finish before grad school starts this fall. I'll try my best to catchup on the matches in between shows but I'll have to avoid this thread during the day until then

    Guess I'll be watching alone then :mjcry: unless @Gloku gonna be peeping some shows

    Got Omega/Naito, Ibushi/ZSJ, Okada/Switchblade, and Tanahashi/Suzuki over Friday/Saturday night. f---ing crazy.

    All singles matches too so if the lower card is hard to get into these shows are pretty stacked at the beginning

    As I've mentioned before, getting off between 10 and midnight is just the best.

    Gonna be moving to the city and finding a new job soon, probably the last tournament I'll get to watch before I have to start being a real person. So hype man.

    Hope so, with Ibushi winning.

    Late show tonight. Thank god tomorrow starts at midnight.

    Edit

    So much for all singles matches.

    Man Ibushi is a tank right now

    Knife pervert Jay white on some Dracula s--- with this gear, pretty gnarly

    Evil/Elgin - 4
    Tanahashi/Suzuki - 4.5
    Switchblade/Okada - 4.25

    Same but I liked the way it began and I really enjoyed the ending. Jay White lowkey becoming a goat heel

    It was great, but I expect more from 25 minutes with Okada.

    He really is though, been phenomenal in the last two matches

    edit

    Last two Omega/Naito matches been classics and the last was one of the GOAT's. Match of the tournament maybe.

    Very good Chase Owens opening tag performance, hope he can work on his body and step up at some point.
