classiq. Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 The Young Bucks spoke with ESPN before their upcoming match against Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi at NJPW Strong Style Evolved this Sunday. Will have have live coverage of the event beginning at 8pm ET. Here are some of the highlights: Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega building their characters so fans get more invested: Matt Jackson: "They have so much passion for wrestling. Cody is a guy who's never off. He's always on. He's always thinking about wrestling. Kenny's the same. He's very passionate about the business. They think of everything outside of just wrestling matches. They think of building characters so they're real. Like real-life things you can reach out, touch and grab. It's not just, 'Here's a match.' It's, 'Here's a person.' And Kenny will build that person from the ground up, and so will Cody. People are so attached to these characters because they're real. Because there are elements of what Kenny is in real life in there and same with Cody. Cody's just the perfect bad guy and Kenny's the perfect good guy. I think that's why it works so well." The original "Alpha Male vs. Alpha Male" Bullet Club story: Nick Jackson: "It was supposed to be Kenny and Adam Cole, to be honest. That was the first original BC split that we pictured. But Adam left to WWE, so we're like, 'Man, we need to do it, but who could we do it with?'" Matt Jackson: "God, Cody's the perfect foil for Kenny. I love Adam and he's awesome, but I feel like Cody's character -- the way he plays the villain and the bad guy is such a great contrast to the way Kenny is a good guy -- so the two are just so perfect when they're onscreen together. When Cody's doing his manipulation." Wanting to have matches within the group and the difficulty of doing that: Matt Jackson: "We helped to make the match happen, us and Kenny. We've always just selfishly wanted to do the match. Before all this stuff happened, we're like, 'How are we ever gonna wrestle you? It won't make any sense. Well, I guess we're going to have to do an entire angle just so we can have this match.' Literally that's a reason for why we're doing what we're doing right now with this story, so we could have these matches. Like, 'Man, we've always wanted to wrestle each other; it's really difficult, though, because we're all a group. Well, let's do something different. Let's do a multilayered, soap-opera storyline that is sort of like a HBO series. In doing so, you get a dream match out of it.'" The Young Bucks also discussed more about the Bullet Club.

classiq. Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 NJPW wrestler Katsuyori Shibata says hes not retired from the ring yet, despite being diagnoased with a subdural hematoma last year something he made clear at a press conference today for the new LA Dojo. Pro Wrestling Sheet was present as Shibata spoke to the media and was asked about transitioning from wrestler to trainer, since hes running the new Dojo. The Wrestler was quick to correct the person asking though and stated that hes not retired from in-ring competition, hes just still recovering from the injury. http://www.prowrestlingsheet.com/shibata-not-retired/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunchbox Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Shibata's come back would make him the most over dude in the promotion easily. People were already crying when he came back to cut his promo a few months ago. Also is 28 too old to join the NJPW dojo and train with Shibata...

Guest Fight Me. Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Is this the first time Rocky's actually wrestled with Roppongi 3K? Bigger venue than last year, no? Crowd looks great. Rocky's new attire reminds me of TJP and I hate it lmao. Josh's potty mouth dropping an F-Bomb when they thought they went to commercial. Called the first match okay lmao. When did Juice become "The Flamboyant"? Lmao B Bros = Bludgeon Brothers? KES versus 2B would be sick lol. REY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGPLX. Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Listening to the Japanese commentary and at one point the only thing I understand is 'Hung Bucks'. Wrestling is so strange sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yeah, like the G1 US special like year. This year will take place in San Francisco at the Cow Palace on July 7th. The Cow Palace seats 10,000 and they will probably sell it out. Now the question would be then is could they sell out a place like the Staples Center?

Lunchbox Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 For wrestling Cow Palace can do 16,000. This clearly isn't the NJPW camera crew, angles suck all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Okay so I NEVER wanna hear anyone say anything about the Bucks being spot monkeys or not understanding psychology ever again. That was grade A storytelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St★rstruck Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 I hate myself for missing this show. I heard the main event was nuts. And yeah, the ROH Supercard is the same night as Takeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ! Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Definitely 5 stars, 4.75 at the least. That Saturday is gonna suck in the best way possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fight Me. Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Yeah, really go out of your way and watch this main event and the aftermath when you can. It's crazy how New Japan can put on these shows in the US that are as long as the main card of WrestleMania and make it just fly by and easy to get through.
