Luds is funny

The 15,800 number was worked, there was probably a lot less in the building.

SUWA challenged KENTA to a GHC Jr tag title match prior to walking out with Ricky Marvin.

Suzuki vs. Marufuji has surprisingly received decent reviews; it looks like Suzuki is set for a GHC Title match with Kobashi on the next tour.

Taue did hit Kobashi with the "Chichibu Cement" in the main event, yet Kobashi managed to kick at "2.9", the main event was called the best match of the night.

Some guy on the PuroresuFan.Com Board posted that...

luds... please dont do that again... you had me about ready to pick up my chair and throw it at my computer when i saw this post.... lol i really hope low ki impressed so that he gets invited to come back and wrestle.

ROTFLMAO!!! He had me too Nate.

I think SUWA, with the comments he made about DG especially Magnum Tokyo, is done with Dragon Gate. Good luck to him in NOAH.

[Haiku Warrior]

Low Ki? Like to see more of him in NOAH. Kobashi & Taue by all reports had a good match. Kobashi v. Mi. Suzuki might be a possibility for his next title defense. GHC title reign is gaining lots of excitment... who will beat him?? Akiyama? Misawa? Takayama?? Someone else???

I threw my chickenburger at the wall when i saw that headline.....****! That''s 2 bucks i'll never get back.

Wrist clutch BH, eh? Everyone's modifying their finishers now, and i'd still like a clear pic of the C Cement and Diamondhead, anyone???

[naterob2003]

yeah i understand. Yeah i would really like for low ki to get in well with misawa and noah and do a corino and help get some good american wrestlers a chance in the big times over in japan. I agree jay.. I like that everyone is modyfying their finishers. It is a way to keep your moves fresh and not so normal. Even though the burning hammer alone is cool, a wrist clutch is just that much better. I would like to see a reverse exploder and then a reverse wrist clutch exploder...

[Luds]

Sorry about that guys, but it had to be done

Actually, I was hoping for a Taue win. I'm not a big Taue fan, but come one! Misawa asked Taue to job to Rat Boy during his reign. Misawa owes him one!

[edgehead1984]

I agree with you Luds...although I thought Akiyama would win the title at the Tokyo Dome...but they didn't do it then...Who is gonna beat Kobashi...

[naterob2003]

i dont really know... kobabshi will either tie or break the record. but he is going to have to lose to someone soon and that someone shouldnt be a current noah wrestler.

[naterob2003]

a cool angle would be for kobashi to tie the record and then for nagata to show up out of nowhere and challenge him for the next shot... that would be cool as you know what. Very unlikely though. The more i think about it, i kinda get sick because the guy next slotted to wrestle him is minoru suzuki so hopefully he doesnt win it...

[Luds]

Indeed, I'd be shocked if they give the title to Suzuki.

I bet you he'll face Misawa after that...

[naterob2003]

i would rather have misawa than suzuki or taue though... Nagata vs. Kobashi would be a dream come true. Lets hope something huge happens to make this title reign worth that much more.
