This thread is for the people who aren't WWE. Which is a fucking shitload of companies, very few of whom are really that good. Fwiw I'm a big fan of Japanese Wrestling, Ring of Honor and go to see British Wrestling a pretty reasonable amount so I'll be here even if noone else is lol.

I'm looking forward to seeing WWE bringing in Prince Devitt as Sheamus young cousin and KENTA to team with Funaki as a kareoke singing tag team.

Didn't know he was Irish so was surprised when I watched that recent promo that got online. Straight away squashed my future main eventer mindset and resigned to him probably just teaming with Sheamus.

Problem is his body paint thing is fucking amazing but the licensing and stuff will be interesting when he hits WWE, won't be able to do the marvel stuff I wouldn't have though

Mysterious still did his Joker and Daredevil costumes at WM without an issue iirc.

Any of you Japan fans check out their latest PPV?
Main event of the show was AJ Styles, who debuted at the PPV before this one, beating Okada, who's got an Orton esque gimmick for the IWGP belt, which is the equivalent of WWE's top belt.
Since the turn of the year I've been trying to branch out from watching WWE, and instead have a look at lesser-known promotions, ROH in particular, decided that Kevin Steen and Adam Cole might be my new favourite wrestlers, and I genuinely cannot wait for Saturday. NJPW vs ROH cross-event, Cole vs Liger, Steen vs Nakamura, Okada vs Michael Bennett (will be worth watching just because Bennett is with Maria Kanellis) and Styles/Elgin to name a few.

Disenchanted recently moved to Manchester, so not much chance of that sadly Nakamura is booked as well against Zack Sabre, whom I've heard of as being one of the UK's biggest indie guys.

Yeah zack is basically the heir apparent to Devitt as the biggest European worker in Japan.
Devitt Vs. Sabre is happening at Progress next week, should be amazing

That sounds like it would be such a match.
Is Devitt officially gone from NJPW now? I saw his tweet which went something like "Thank you NJPW" - so that would heavily suggest he's gone, but has it actually been confirmed yet?
