    Nah, JR legit got injured. Idk if it actually ended up being a broken rib, but that was the fear. There was a big thing online with him and others saying New Japan has to do a better job of protecting their talent. Wasn't a good look at all, esp with Hiromu breaking his neck that night.

    JR and Barrett are both terrible representatives of New Japan, but having JR switch to color with Kevin taking over as the main broadcaster will make it a lot better. He can do what he's best at without taking away from the match.

    I agree with him and Josh not being good for new Japan. Initially when I first started it was nice to have someone familiar to introduce me to the product but the lack of knowledge of talent, movesets and story lines really turned me off. Also, the negative comments about the company he was representing didnt help things either

    Unpopular opinion: Zack Sabre Jr matches are a chore to get through

    Which ones? I thought so too at first.

    Edit

    Aside from Omega/Ibushi/Ospreay, he's right there for best in the world at the moment

    Ugh super unpopular with me. His matches are so different from everyone else that they're an absolute blast and refreshing to watch.

    Look at his match with Kenny for example. A great match and you're only getting that kind of omega match with SZJ

    Hard HARD disagree

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Barnett said its a one show thing because he had a commitment to something else on that date.

    And no for the love of god it wasn't a f---ing s---t. Are you guys f---ing crazy? He just gets up and dashes into the ring ugh, give it up lol was definitely a work end of story idc what anyone says

    My fantasy booking scenario is that he’s a surprise entrant in the Over the Budget battle royal and goes on to win and face Jay Lethal for the ROH Championship on the PPV. I’m totally prepared to convince myself that this is what is happening only to be let down later

    Watched Triplemania on the weekend holy f--- that entire event was a s--- show but was somehow more enjoyable than RAW & SD. Seeing LA Park and Pentagon was cool though

    Btw that whole Barnett thing was a s---t lol. He got actual heat from the new japan office about it but nothing will ever come of it because Cubans a billionaire and invests a lot into njpw. Nobody ever said it was a work except for axs tv and njpw world who had to make do with the situation. Nonetheless that whole thing made that match way better.

    I just in no way believe him robotically getting up and running into the ring and switchblade getting out and pacing and then Barnett going back to ringside and resuming like that wasn't a pro-wrestling thing. People don't do that in real life

    You've never caught yourself overreacting or being unprofessional and caught your head?
