War of the Worlds 2018 Superthread ft. Liger

Post by famicommander »

Interesting quote from the article:
Who will the legend face in his return to ROH? One of the all-time great junior heavyweights in professional wrestling history, there are a plethora of potential dream matches for Liger to take part in singles or tag team competition! Will it be a current ROH star? Perhaps a returning ROH star? Or will it be a dream match against a NJPW star? Join us on the War of the Worlds Tour for the return of Jushin “Thunder” Liger!

Any preferences?

Mysterio is probably out of the question but it would be incredible.

I'd be down for:
Gresham vs Liger
Dragon Lee vs Liger
Kushida vs Liger
Sabre Jr vs Liger
Hiromu Takahashi vs Liger
Alex Shelley vs Liger

If Sabre eventually finds his way on an ROH card I think that would be held off until the Honor United Tour. In fact I could see him being made the big deal of that tour.

famicommander with some great choices I agree with all those but I'd add

Flip Gordon
Marty Scurll
Christopher Daniels
Scorpio Sky
Delerious (you know this egomaniac loves sneaking himself onto the ROH/NJPW cards)

Josh Woods doing Bully's dirty work would be a good use for him and get Woods more exposure on tv.

Shane Taylor would work too but Woods needs something more right now.

Since Bully is complaining about young wrestlers not pay their dues, he could use Woods as a guy trying to learn the right way. Really it's a rehash of the Decade angle but giving Woods something to do and getting him over would be worth it.

I don't see the point in getting Woods over before he learns how to work. He's the greenest dude on the roster.

I concur. Sometimes he's hard to watch.

Woods has been around too long and too kayfabe successful for that to work, IMO. It'd have to be someone who is more of a blank slate, like either someone totally new or maybe Coast 2 Coast.

Coast 2 Coast could work there considering they could have them in Kayfabe resent the inferior Cheeseburger who came up the same ways as them yet has been promoted by the company and has gotten opportunity that he doesn't necessarily deserve.

The danger of Coast 2 Coast doing the bidding of Bully Ray is them becoming a Dudley Boyz tribute act. Which is an immediate DANGER to my health.

Why would they have to be a Dudley Boyz tribute act? Nothing is saying they will have to get Bully's tables. They'd just be a team for him to manage so that he can actually do something productive in his promos by putting them over. Plus it'd make them a little less bland to be heels.
