[hysteria416]

no taichi
dub

 

[Rayzah]

Why would omega be in it ?

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

no taichi

Lol, why they got bum ass Yoshi-Hashi over the King of Stall Style?

Why would omega be in it ?

IWGP champ always in the G1. If you beat Omega, you get a title shot later.

 

[Spartan]

Why would omega be in it ?

Champion is always in it. If they win they choose their own opponent at the dome. Okada was champ last year and was in it (Lost his block after Omega pinned him).

 

[The Rainmaker]

I was expecting Taichi too If we're going to have 9 Toru Yano bad matches, may as well have 9 bad Taichi matches

 

[DaylitoJames]

Kinda surprised Taichi or Cody was not named

Yoshi Hashi can

 

[Silkk]

Kinda surprised Taichi or Cody was not named

Yoshi Hashi can

Cody must be winning the ROH title. Same reason he was pulled last year

 

[Silkk]

Glad they're doing english on all the shows but I hope they also have the good production on all the shows. I hate them one camera angle shows.

 

[TBdaGhost]

Cody must be winning the ROH title. Same reason he was pulled last year

He said a week ago he was too busy to do it



He could be bullshyttin for the reason you said

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

In for Zack and Suzuki torturing EVERYBODY

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

So we getting Kota/Omega at WK

End of the Golden Lovers

End of the Golden Lovers

Want to see the two sides for these reasons alone.

See if they got the stones to put Kenny & Ibushi and Suzuki/ZSJ on the same sides.

I remember Okada bytch ass ducked Shibata for YEARS

 

[TOAD99]

[MenacingMonk]
