    It may end up happening at some point. I wish I would've started it last summer when I was actively watching those shows. I'm not sure what my end point for the current watch through is, but after I finish (if WCW Thunder is uploaded to the Network at this point) I plan on watching WCW from the first episode of Nitro to the last.

    Meltzer has said that Flair and Steamboat once wrestled a "match greater than 5 stars", but it wasn't recorded and was at a house show

    this is the first ever 6* match, past few hours he has been alluding to it being the 'best wrestling match of all time' in his opinion

    I haven't watched it yet (I think Cody vs Juice is next up, I'm taking my time with it lol) but that's the general consensus I've been seeing from fans, wrestlers, and journalists on Twitter

    It is a spectacle. A different kind of match as opposed to a lot of the other big time NJPW favorites

    Personally I put it below AJ vs. Shinsuke at WK9, AJ vs. Okada at Dominion, and Okada vs. Tanahashi at Invasion Attack 2013 (all 5* matches in my opinion), but the match itself was really really good and I'm sure if I had been fully invested in the background I would have liked it as much as Big Dave

    I'm doing my KOTR 2002 review right now (roughly halfway through the show, taking a little break) and then I plan on getting back to WK11

    First reported by PWInsider and confirmed Thursday by Dave Meltzer, Jeff Jarrett has returned to TNA in a working relationship as a consultant.

    He, wife Karen, and Dutch Mantel are all in Orlando, FL, right now for the beginning of what will be a long run of TV tapings that will extend through next week.

    The news comes a day after Anthem Sports & Entertainment announced they will soon become majority stakeholders of TNA Impact Wrestling, moving Dixie Carter to a different role within Anthem.

    Jarrett was one of the original founders of TNA and officially left the company in December 2013. He would later return in a 2014 on-screen angle with his Global Force Wrestling promotion and to be inducted into the TNA Hall of Fame. At that point, he sold his remaining minority interest in the company to Carter.

    As for GFW, it's expected that Anthem will help finally make a TV deal for the fledging promotion a reality. Whether or not that deal is on their airwaves is unknown.

    Mantel has been out of the spotlight since the Zeb Colter gimmick was dropped by WWE. While his role is unknown, he has long been a Jarrett ally with creative, so a similar consulting role appears to be in the cards for him as well.

    On a side note for Thursday's somewhat-live edition of Impact, Angelina Love, Davey Richards and Brooke Tessmacher are returning.

    I'm expecting Okada/Omega to blow me out of the water because I gave Cody/Juice a ****1/4 and Dave only gave it **3/4.

    Here's my Wrestle Kingdom 11 review. I started off doing heavy play-by-play, but I quit as the show draws to a close because I wanted to pay more attention to the matches. At the end of every match is my rating, plus I have a show rating and some final thoughts at the end.

    nice review, I only watched the main event and the penultimate main event of the show
    Haven't decided if I'm gonna give Okada/Omega 5* yet-- I'm actually gonna be buying NJPW World here pretty soon and I'm gonna rewatch it on there, but Naito/Tanahashi was a tremendous match too and I thought it was probably better than that

    When Kenny launches to the outside of the ring through that table...holy sh...the teased it so much and how they just pulled it out of nowhere, man that guy can fly that took me by complete suprise. Did you see his bump in the G1 tournament earlier this year? forgot if it was in the finals or the semifinals, but he takes a massive dive into the fans section man and lands right on his head its wild


    cant wait to subscribe and start watching more NJPW
