Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!
War of the Worlds could be the biggest show in ROH history, if they add Cole/Tanahashi and Steen/Nakamura this show will have no problmes picking up show of the year awards. So fucking stoked for Elgin/Okada, this could be one of the best matches of the year.
Also really excited for Bucks/reDRagon II, since I assume both Bucks will be 100% for this show, in contrast to their Raise the Bar contest.

Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!
I assume he'll represent NJPW, since that would mean they can put more ROH talents on the show (assuming they are going for a versus show with the NYC show)

Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!
Well the event pages for both shows on the ROH Website has AJ Styles listed as a Ring of Honor Talent, so that's why I listed him as such.

Sitting front row for War Of The Worlds. Can't wait.

I figure that might be changed, since it wasn't known Styles would sign a contract for NJPW, when they announced him for the show.DXvsNWO1994 wrote:Well the event pages for both shows on the ROH Website has AJ Styles listed as a Ring of Honor Talent, so that's why I listed him as such.

Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!
The NYC show sounds killer already. Okada/Elgin, Young Bucks/reDRagon....I mean...how many potential match of the year matches are we going to get on one show? Cole/Tanahashi has got to happen at NYC, and seems likely. So many possibilities, it doesn't even matter. I'll just let them book it.

NJPW announced Styles vs Okada for the title on 5/3. I'm going to be really pissed if Styles wins and I don't see Elgin vs. Okada live. I really hope it doesn't happen.

I'm almost sure he will not win, what's the point of 3 Elgin vs Styles in 3 monthes in a row ? No, i think Elgin vs Okada is more or less already scheduled.
AJ should represent ROH, there is already a lot of NJPW wrestlers, except if the iPPVs last 4 hours or if they don't mind to book numerous matches with multiple opponents.

I don't think they'd have AJ Styles come in and win their main title a month after making his debut. I really hope he doesn't win. I'll be in NYC, I want to see Elgin/Okada!!!!

Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!
Eh, well considering their first match was pretty over with just about everybody and most are excited for their second match, a third match with a title on the line would obviously be a pretty big deal. I would prefer Elgin/Okada but if Styles takes the title and it's Elgin/Styles III, I'll take it.AssShooter wrote:I'm almost sure he will not win, what's the point of 3 Elgin vs Styles in 3 monthes in a row ?

Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!
I just want to see some ROH vs. New Japan Matches. It's nice to see New Japan guys in ROH, don't get me wrong, but if they're not facing ROH guys in inter-promotional matches then what's the point? I can see New Japan guys fight each other all the time on New Japan iPPVs...
Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!
AJ is not beating Okada. Okada/Elgin is a $ match for most fans, and this is pretty much their only opportunity to do it in the US. Okada isn't losing the belt at fucking Wrestling Dontaku. He still hasn't even wrestled Shibata or Nakamura for the belt yet.
No way AJ debuts and beats their Champ right away. That's not how NJPW books.

Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!
wouldn't surprise me if AJ beat Okada at all... Okada could have matches with nakamura, shibata, tanahashi etc next reign.
AJ's signed a contract so it doesn't make sense to me he'd lose to Okada. if he was going to lose to Okada i think they would have given AJ a couple wins first to build him up. but to kill his momentum right after his arrival wouldn't make sense AJ would have a long list babyfaces he could have matches with-- Tanahashi, nakamura, Okada, shibata, naito, ibushi .. god long list of great challenegrs he could have

So I take it that Wrestling Dontaku is not a major show on the New Japan Calendar?ROHFan25 wrote:AJ is not beating Okada.

Also, doesn't Bad Luck Fale (another Bullet Club member) have an upcoming title shot at some point?

Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!
If we ended up getting Styles/Elgin instead of Okada/Elgin I would feel a bit ripped off.
If AJ was winning the IWGP Heavyweight Title, you'd almost thing they would have had Steen win at SCoH. That way we could still get Elgin vs NJPW guy (since that's what everyone wants, including Elgin) and would end up with Styles/Steen which hasn't happened in ROH yet.

Re: Official Global Wars/War of the Worlds Super Thread!!
Dontaku isn't really a big show, no. Last years was the worst PPV of the year for NJPW. Okada's had the belt for a long long time. He's not losing it at a B PPV, especially with Fale having a title shot coming.
Like the above poster said, Elgin/Okada is a money match. AJ/Elgin has already happened twice. Well it's going to. They aren't going to have them wrestle 3 times in 3 months. It's dumb. Not only that, you'd have a "ROH" representative holding the belt at the show. Doesn't make sense.
