DA Baracus Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Fairly cheesy so far. Also some of the camera angles have been odd. The old WoS wrestling was fucking garbage. No idea why it's held in such high regard. Big Daddy was dreadful as were so many of the others who appeared on it, many of whom just looked like jakey old men in pants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Fucking hell, that Klondyke Kate has lost a LOT of weight! She looks better now than she did then, and she must be in her 60s now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Very family friendly, foam fingers and the like. Not necessarily a bad thing, just good to have wrestling back out there for a wider audience, could be an introduction to wrestling for some kids. Not bad so far and always good to hear JR. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 A few sour puss c***s in the front row trying to spoil it, been impressed with this show so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Quite liked it. Even though i'd seen the spoilers, i managed to completey miss DBS jr being the mystery entrant in the Battle Royale. So that was a nice surprise. Looked better than I thought it would. Main complaint: The constant shots of the disinterested game show audience stuck waiting for Catchphrase to come on next. Favourite: Seeing people shit on it for basically being the holiday camps on TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Just checked the Wrestle Kingdom 11 card. Oh boy I'm buzzing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The overnight rating doing the rounds for WoS was 1.25m. Doesn't look that great numbers wise but people seemed to stick with it for 2 hours. Chances of a series on ITV1 was always slim. However if they're willing to show minor darts & snooker events on ITV4, going to series might be worth a punt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listened to the VoW preview of it this morning, all 2.5hrs, and am really excited. Think the fannying about in midcard with the Tag belts is unfortunate. The six man gauntlet should be interesting. The battle of Tiger Masks will be a good opener. Junior tags deserve a spotlight match and they've got one. Worried for the cluster of unfamiliar US workers in the middle, think that might not go down too well. Last four matches are all very exciting to me. Predictions: (which is tricky as a lot of coin-flip match ups here)... Elgin to surprise enter and win the rumble. Tiger Mask always wins Bucks to retain LIJ to win six man Cody to squash Juice Not sure in ROH title as there's politics here I don't get. Seems like both might leave? GOD to retain Hiromu to win junior title Goto to win NEVER Naito to retain Kenny to win IWGP, Ibushi to challenge him in the aftermath! -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 The quality would probably reduce significantly if they done a weekly show tbf. Doubt they'd get JR in to do weekly events, and it'd be more costly to build a 'permanent' roster than just bringing in a few guest stars. Can't see there being money in it and if they do proceed, it'll be a lesser production than the one off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairWeatherFan Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 If they were to film more it would be in the vein of every other pretaped show. Film x amount of weeks across a couple of days. So getting JR back isn't a problem. Doing tapings isn't exactly the problem. They own the studio & production crew already. Then the wrestlers would probably cost the same as they might lose running a game show in its place. It's whether or not they can make enough money from the ads to justify it. Live events and merch are probably things that they'll just licence out to other promoters. So they can make money from those streams, but at the end of they're a TV company. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Can't see it becoming a weekly thing, it would be good to see it monthly and a big show once or twice a year. Quite a good card as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Watched Wrestle Kingdom. The only thing I didn't like much from it was Kyle O'Reilly vs. Adam Cole for the ROH title which is easily the worst match I've seen between them, and the opener. Everything else ranged from really good to tremendous. The last four matches being particularly great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some incredible stuff in the second half of that card, some of the spots in the main event were just spectacular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
