[NJPW News] The full event card has been announced for New Japan’s next show “DOMIONION 6.21” on June 21.

Following his win in the BOSJ, Ricochet will be moving on to face the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Kota Ibushi at DOMINION. New Japan is billing this as something the fans do not want to miss as two of the top juniors in the professional wrestling world today face off to determine who truly is the #1 junior.

During the final day of the BOSJ, Toru Yano found a new surprise ally as Kazushi Sakuraba came to his aid following a continued assault by Minoru Suzuki and Takashi Iizuka. This will defeinitely make for a unique match as Yano is ever-looking to exact some revenge against his former partner Iizuka’s betrayal, and then possibilities of the shoot style aspect of Sakuraba and Suzuki could be there as well.

The opening match on the card will see the IWGP Jr. Tag belts being defended as the Young Bucks, Matt & Nick Jackson, put their belts once more on the line against The Time Splitters, KUSHIDA & Alex Shelley. KUSHIDA and Shelley both had strong showings in the BOSJ with KUSHIDA even making it to the semi-finals. Time Splitters will be getting what could potentially be their final shot, at this time, for the Jr. Tag belts.

Then lastly it was announced that Yuji Nagata will be teaming with Tomoaki Honma to take on Hirooki Goto & Katsuyori Shibata and then Tetsuya Naito takes on Tama Tonga in a singles match.

The Young Bucks vs The Time Splitters should be good.
 
If my 2K source is really being truthful with me, then the WWE 2K15 pre-order bonus should make people happy. ;)
 
Writing out checks for child support :rimshot:

"I love you, Johnny."

"I'm Jimmy. Johnny is the half-Asian one."

"Whatever. Now, let me show you how to make a murder scene look like an accidental overdose. Go fetch Daddy's toolbox and your Godzilla action figure."
 
She's dating some other guy, afaik. Her and Dean just seem to be good friends who travel and hang out together, lol. :oldrazz: :D


Dang, Dean got hit with the worst finisher of all: The Friendzone! :o
 
As I will now be off on Monday's I am curious to see what happens tonight with Darth Haitch, and Sith Rollins.
 
I'm surprised that terms such as "Friendzone" and "Fiscal Cliff" are not used in Wrestling as finishing moves.

"Bah gawd! Bah gawd! Dean is Renee's date to her cousin's wedding, but she just gave her cell number to both groomsmen and one of the bartenders! Lord, the carnage!"
 
From SEScoops.com:


SEScoops.com has learned that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan will NOT be medically cleared to compete at the upcoming Money in the Bank pay-per-view, which takes place on Sunday, June 29th from the TD Garden in Boston, MA.

As of last week, there was still hope that Bryan would be cleared by then – however, we just heard exclusively from a source backstage at RAW from the Target Center in Minneapolis that Bryan got the news from his doctors that he definitely will NOT be able to wrestle this month.

As such, Bryan will be forced to surrender the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and a new champion will be crowned at the pay-per-view.
An announcement could be made as soon as tonight’s RAW. WWE has already determined who the next champion will be.

So this begs the question, who will the new champion be? Rollins? Orton? Reigns? Cena? Ambrose? It's a shame Ziggler is not a real option anymore :(

Hoping it is Rollins
 
Lesnar becomes champ and Cesaro wins MITB. WWE could make a somewhat decent attempt to go from there, but I doubt they would.

If they want to transition the title back to Bryan when he is ready, then it needs to be someone like Sheamus, who's credible, but can absorb a loss.

If they're finished with the Bryan experiment, then they might as well go all-in with the Rollins push.
