Emerald FlowShow #101: Failed Bullet Club Hunter
🎧 Listen to the full episode on Voices of Wrestling
Uka's WWE status
Apparently, Uka deleted the tweets of him at the Performance Center.
Katsuhiko Nakajima's future
I reiterated my belief that I wish Katsuhiko Nakajima would come back to All Japan, although I did say I think him popping up in Zero1 is the second best option right now.
Tetsuya Naito's WXW appearance
I'm somewhat morbidly curious how Naito is going to do in the tournament. They gave him a technical wrestler like Dita Schwartz in the first round, so that should keep most of the match on the ground.
Yoshiki Inamura's drawing power
I think it definitely shows that if the Yokohama Budokan show ends up being a bad number, I think that's definitely a black mark on Inamura.
Shima's career
I think he's one of those guys that just missed that window of when he should have retired. He made himself irrelevant.
It looks like Shima has had Osaka Pro. I don't know, I kind of like that one. It feels like a homecoming for him.
All Japan signings
I'm still baffled that All Japan signed Masaoka instead of Gaia Hawks. I just think Gaia Hawks is just the better guy between them.
White Raven faction
White Raven squad just feels like completely lost in the shuffle already. It feels like all three are just spinning their wheels and are just irrelevant.
Kai Fujimura's performance
I think Kai Fujimura is absolute dog shit as a heel. Whenever he was doing terrible heel work, I was trying to restrain myself from just fast-forwarding.
All Japan ticket sales
I don't know if they're going to sell it out, but 1,200 or 1,300 easily for the Saito Brothers vs. Titans of Calamity match.
Yoshitatsu's history
I popped when Mark Pickering on commentary called Yoshitatsu the former Bullet Club Hunter. That is a great pull.
Podcast production
I literally just clocked out of work like five minutes ago. I'm not going to lie. I literally clocked out of work and then ran over here.
