>Watch NJPW Presents CMLL Fantastica Mania 2019: Day 7 and 8 on Sunday and Monday at 4:30am EST / 9:30am GMT in Japanese in /wooo/tube - http://taima.tv/r/wooo and in English in /wooo/alt - http://taima.tv/r/woooalt

CMLL is back in Japan for its 9th annual Fantastica Mania tour with NJPW. Wrestlers from both promotions will compete with and against one another bringing the best of lucha libre and puroresu together. Fantastica Mania is back in Korakuen Hall for the last two shows of the tour. In the main event of Day 7, the winners of the Family Tag Tournament in Dragon Lee and Mistico will face the winners of last year's Brothers Tag Team Tournament Ultimo Guerrero and Gran Guerrero of Los Guerreros Laguernos. Plus in the semi-main event, after Satoshi Kojima lost to Los Ingobernables' Rush and suffered an injury in the process last year, this year Kojima will look for redemption as he faces Rush's stablemate Terrible one on one. And in the main event of Day 8, rivals Caristico and Volador Jr. face off in singles action.

Post your best ones. Just recently came across this gem.

>Vince is being targeted by the NFL right now
>Khan won in favor with the league to start a cross promotional platform as long as he maintained focus with Jaguars and his son focused on AEW
>the goal is to sway WWE fans into watching AEW while representing the NFL thus making the XFL seem more irrelevant
>there are talks of ridiculously large paying contracts to get main stars to AEW shades of WCW
>there are other ways Vince is being targetted by the NFL right now
>Cody and the Young Bucks are simply pawns in all of this given illusion of power
>the NFL is behind AEW

Nikki Cross is literally the worst type of wrestler to work with, she has a gimmick that ONLY gets herself over, now that alone wouldn't be a massive crime but the problem is that the gimmick requires everyone she is working with to help get it over (at detriment to themselves)

It's for this reason that Nikki Cross will likely be a pariah in the locker room and in turn this will result in her being buried quickly as no one will want to work with her (too much effort, Nikki reaps all the reward)

Does anyone have anything positive to say about her and do they think she might have a longer career with WWE?

Does anyone remember that twitter guy that used to draw crude pictures of wrestling scenes?

he did one of Triple H firing Cm Punk on his wedding day, does anyone remember that?

>Nikki Bella and John Cena are no longer a couple. However, that won’t stop them from being in contact with each other. The couple has moved on, but Nikki Bella revealed to People that she keeps Cena up to date on every date she goes on.
>“Oh yeah, I let him know everything. He’s known every date I’ve been on. I have so much respect for him and this breakup wasn’t bad — it didn’t end bad, we didn’t do bad things to each other.”
>“Like he’s still close with my family. Anything like I knew that was coming out, anything that I’ve done, I’ve let him know because I don’t want him to be hurt by it, or shocked by it and I know that’s things I don’t have to do but that’s just who I am.”
>“The one thing is, John’s never been a jealous man. That’s one bone he doesn’t have, which I’m like, is so rare.”

> The latest in the land grab for top tier talent is that ROH has signed William Munoz Gonzalez, 30, better known as Rush, to an exclusive one-year U.S./Ontario market contract. The deal, believed to be for approximately $155,000 per year, is added to Munoz’s five year deal with CMLL which runs until the end of 2020. The contract takes Rush out of MLW’s attempt at the biggest match of its run, on the 4/4 show in New York a the Melrose Ballroom that was built around Rush vs. L.A. Park.

> Unlike in the past, where big name independent talent like Ricochet, Will Ospreay, Michael Elgin, Matt Riddle and Jeff Cobb were working seven to ten matches over WrestleMania week, now almost everyone is signed to exclusive deals. Park, who is a genuine free agent, and Pentagon Jr. & Fenix are the exceptions. Besides the four dates with WrestleCon and MLW, Pentagon Jr. & Fenix are also already booked for Impact and Sami Callihan’s Pro Wrestling Revolver.

> The funny thing is my gut is he’d have been more valuable to MLW, since it has a Spanish language outlet and draws a heavily Hispanic audience as opposed to ROH which doesn’t draw an Hispanic crowd. The Hispanic audience will support what they consider an Hispanic oriented show like MLW produces and they have a Spanish language outlet. They don’t usually draw as well on an American show, although obviously there are historical examples of the opposite. But ROH has never drawn significantly bigger than usual when it has brought in CMLL names.

> Because Paco Alonso had Rush under contract for two more years, he had the power to decide where he was going and had to approve any contract in the U.S. market. Bauer had been in talks with Rush and Alonso about a contract for the U.S. market, which would not have been exclusive for North America, but would have given MLW the right to keep him from going elsewhere.

> The MLW offer included them agreeing to a number of deal points Rush had asked for, including using his two brothers, Dragon Lee and Mistico, which Bauer would have wanted to push anyway, and some involvement of his father Bestia del Ring, although perhaps not in the ring. Also part of the deal was not just getting him a new working U.S. visa (he had a visa that just expired), which ROH is now working on doing, but also on getting his wife and children U.S. citizenship and they would move to the U.S. Another aspect of the deal was that Bein Sports would use him as an analyst for their Mexican soccer coverage in Spanish so he could break into sports broadcasting. Alonso’s main demand was that he would have the right to use Rush on Fridays and other major dates. MLW was willing to run for the most part on Thursdays and Saturdays, which don’t coincide with major CMLL shows.

Old thread hit the bump limit and the flu kicked my ass in a 96 hour Iron Man match (the fans doing the Royal Rumble countdown throughout didn't help either...or maybe that was me calling my pharmacy).

Post 'em if you've got 'em!

Ready for the next boom period in prowrestling? WWE is gonna soar in the ratings now that AEW is a major bane to them just like WCW was. We should probably thank Cody for frightening Vince McMahon enough for them to get their collective shit together.
