On my final show I will go over TNA's Hardcore Justice pay-per-view with thoughts on how the promotion should and will prepare for the biggest PPV of the year, Bound for Glory. The E's second biggest PPV of the year, SummerSlam, is this weekend and I will go over the show with predictions. I will pay particular attention to the main-event where John Cena and CM Punk will hopefully provide an equally good sequel to last month's instant classic and how far Punk's current push can go. And I will go over the progress of New Japan's G-1 tournament with a preview of the final two shows of the tournament, which take place on Saturday and Sunday. 00:50:00Ichiban FannoTNA,Sting,SummerSlam,CM Punk,Triple HAs mentioned above, this will be the last installment of World of Wrestling...for now anyway.

TNA's Hardcore Justice is this coming weekend, so be ready for predictions and my take on the Bound for Glory Series as well as Sting's character change over the last month or so. And of course, The E's second biggest PPV of the year, SummerSlam, is on the horizon. I will give my thoughts on how the card is shaking up as well as my thoughts on HHH's new televised role as the man in charge. 00:48:00Ichiban FannoTriple H,CM Punk,TNA,G-1 Climax,SummerSlamNew Japan's annual summer tournament, the G-1 Climax, is under way and I will give you the results up to date as well as my opinions and predictions of what tohttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/07/20/world-of-wrestling-money-in-the-bank-editionSportshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/07/20/world-of-wrestling-money-in-the-bank-edition/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/07/20/world-of-wrestling-money-in-the-bank-editionWed, 20 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMTWorld of Wrestling (Money in the Bank Edition) One of the more compelling non-Big Four PPV's The E has ever produced is in the books and I will focus solely on this show this week. Internet boards and sites practically shut down after the show went off the air as there was more than one shocker on this one. All the questions will be answered: Which two men won the money in the bank matches? Was Henry/Show as bad as it could be? Did Punk walk out with the belt? Was the crowd as good as I thought it would be? How were my predictions? With a month before SummerSlam, I will also go over RAW and what I think about how the second biggest show of the year for The E is shaping up. 00:49:00Ichiban FannoCM Punk,John Cena,Daniel Bryan,Alberto Del Rio,Vince McMahonOne of the more compelling non-Big Four PPV's The E has ever produced is in the books and I will focus solely on this show this week.

There was one big title change over the weekend and to give you a hint, I didn't predict it. With Money in the Bank this coming Sunday you will get my final thoughts on the show, why I'll be buying it, and more on the CM Punk angle. I will talk about Destination X with some spoiler help to show how Destination X was a brief breath of fresh air and nothing else. Also related to TNA, it seems that Hulk Hogan slipped up while on a video game show and let loose some info on what he might be doing in the fall. I'll let you know the details if you haven't seen the video. All this and any other news in the world of wrestling this week. 00:54:00Ichiban FannoCM Punk,Go Shiozaki,Hulk Hogan,WWE,Destination XThis week will be another prediction-filled week in the world of wrestling with TNA and NOAH having had noteworthy cards this past weekend.

With Money in the Bank just over a week away I will go over the two stipulation ladder matches for which the show takes its name as well as another look at the CM Punk angle that has taken off quite nicely since my last show. Ring of Honor's latest i-PPV, Best in the World, took place in the time since my last show, so I will go over the show as well as its implications on the immediate future of ROH with the new television show ready to begin taping near the end of the summer. And there's a major card for Pro Wrestling NOAH this weekend at Tokyo's Ariake Colosseum with several major singles matches as well as the third Takashi Sugiura/Go Shiozaki GHC title match in nineteen months. Sugiura just broke the title defense record, Shiozaki is still the man many believe should lead NOAH into the future, but may have rib problems that could sideline him. Who walks out of July 10 with the gold? You'll get my pick and reasons why. 00:57:00Ichiban FannoRing of Honor,TNA,WWE,CM Punk,Go ShiozakiWith Destination X this coming Sunday I will give a preview with predictions of the card as well as my thoughts about the X-Division getting the nostalgia PPVhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/06/22/world-of-wrestling-62111Sportshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/06/22/world-of-wrestling-62111/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/06/22/world-of-wrestling-62111Wed, 22 Jun 2011 05:00:00 GMTWorld of Wrestling (6/21/11) (Note the different time and day this week as work scheduled dictates show schedule) This will be a results week as WWE had their Capitol Punishment pay-per-view, AAA had their Wrestlemania, and New Japan & All Japan had major shows. All shows will be reviewed with results and how I fared on last week's predictions (quick spoiler: not that bad). I will also go over what this means for each promotion that had a show as the push to SummerSlam has begun for The E, AAA also has a major show in August, New Japan has a July show that usually features a world title defense as well as the G-1 tournament around the corner, and All Japan is trying to make thier way amongst the turmoil created by the TARU/Hirai situation. 01:11:00Ichiban FannoTriplemania,John Cena,TNA,Hiroshi Tanahashi,WWE(Note the different time and day this week as work scheduled dictates show schedule) This will be a results week as WWE had their Capitol Punishment pay-per-vhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/06/16/world-of-wrestling-61511Sportshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/06/16/world-of-wrestling-61511/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/06/16/world-of-wrestling-61511Thu, 16 Jun 2011 03:00:00 GMTWorld of Wrestling (6/15/11) TNA celebrated nine years as a promotion with their Slammiversary pay-per-view this past Sunday. I will go over the show as well as how I did on my predictions and what TNA has ahead of them coming out of the show, including their plans for Destination X. New Japan and All Japan have major shows this coming weekend and I will be previewing the shows as well as giving predictions. On the subject of All Japan, I will give new information (new to me at least) regarding the TARU/Hirai situation and what it could mean for the promotion in the future. With predictions being a bit of a theme this week, WWE's Captiol Punishment pay-per-view will be previewed by myself with predictions attached. And the two-year anniversary of the death of Mitsuharu Misawa is this week. I will give my recolations of that day, the following day when I found out the news, and what his death has meant to the promotion he founded (Pro Wrestling NOAH) and the wrestling business as a whole in Japan. 01:27:00Ichiban FannoKurt Angle,WWE,Mitsuharu Misawa,Keiji Mutoh,TNATNA celebrated nine years as a promotion with their Slammiversary pay-per-view this past Sunday.

In the middle of New Japan's upcoming Osaka show is a particularly historic tag title match. I'll let you in on the what, who, and why of this tag match on Wednesday. K-1's current heavyweight kickboxing champion Kyotaro is set to make his pro wrestling debut at All Japan's upcoming Sumo Hall show. He is the second K-1 fighter behind Yuichiro Nagashima. I will go over the significance of both men going to pro wrestling as well as the possibility that more Japanese kickboxers and MMA fighters will turn to pro wrestling in Japan in the future. There appears to have been an altercation between All Japan wrestlers Yoshikazu Taru (TARU) and Nobukazu Hirai that has left Hirai in the hospital. Is it real or a work? I'll go over the situation, give my thoughts on if it's legit and what it may mean for the future of one of my favorite wrestling stables, the Voodoo Murderers. Manabu Nakanishi was injured this past weekend during a tag match on a New Japan card, but dodged a major bullet despite the injury. As for how he dodged a bullet (without giving too much away), let's just say that he didn't end up the way Misawa did. And with Slammiversary this coming weekend, you'll get my picks for the show and another rant on the show's poster. 01:17:00Ichiban FannoKyotaro,TNA,Ring of Honor,K-1,SlammiversaryThe purchase of Ring of Honor by Sinclair Broadcast Group will be analyzed, particularly in how it will effect any potential restart of a work agreement betweehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/05/26/world-of-wrestling-52511Sportshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/05/26/world-of-wrestling-52511/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/05/26/world-of-wrestling-52511Thu, 26 May 2011 03:00:00 GMTWorld of Wrestling (5/25/11) The death of "Macho Man" Randy Savage is at the top of the news this week. Savage's death and legacy will be detailed along with memories of his best matches and moments in the ring. WWE's Over The Limit pay-per-view was this past sunday. You will get the results and my opinions of the show. The invasion angle involving TNA and AAA has officially begun and matches under the AAA vs. TNA theme have been announced for AAA's "Triplemania" pay-per-view next month. I will go over this angle and how it compares with other invasion angles as well as with how I believe a proper and well executed invasion angle should go. Since I wasn't on last week, I will give my thoughts on New Japan's recent U.S. tour, as well as my picks. Along with results, I will give detail on why I hope there is more to come from King of Sports in the U.S. Sting is set to defend the TNA world title against Mr. KennedyAnderson at TNA's anniversary pay-per-view next month. I will go over Sting's title reign up to this point and address whether he'll be wrestling Flair this summer, and who and when this title reign ends. And speaking of world titles, Takashi Sugiura just made his 12th, 13th, and 14th successful defenses of the GHC World Title (Pro Wrestling NOAH's world title) on a Europe tour, breaking Japan's record for successful heavyweight title defenses in pro wrestling. Like Sting's current world title reign, Sugiura's will get my attention this week as I go over how Sugiura was able to keep the title and what it says about NOAH how his title reign has been booked and perceived. 01:10:00Ichiban FannoRandy Savage,Jeff Jarrett,Sting,AAA,WWEThe death of "Macho Man" Randy Savage is at the top of the news this week.

I'll give you the results, my thoughts, and a look at the future of NOAH going forward (including their upcoming Europe tour). With New Japan's U.S. tour at the end of the week you will get my full predictions for all three shows. TNA has announced that they will be sending wrestlers to AAA for Triplemania and I'll tell you who's going & what my thoughts on the selections are. Other Mexico-related news I'll get to include updates on the health of Perro Aguayo Jr. & Arturo Rivera as well as the impending return to the ring of Charly Manson (that's right). In neck-related news, John Morrison will have surgery on his and Kurt Angle apparently will be training for the 2012 Olympics. 01:20:00Ichiban FannoTNA,John Morrison,Kurt Angle,Takashi Sugiura,AAAIt was a major week in Japan with Dragon Gate, Big Japan, and Pro Wrestling NOAH all having major shows take place.

The E's Extreme Rules PPV took place this past Sunday and two title changes were at the top of the card along with an awesome debut. I'll talk about the whole show as well as the aftermath on RAW and SmackDown (via spoilers). New Japan's big show in Fukouka takes place Tuesday and you'll get results and my thoughts on the show as well as a preview of New Japan's U.S. tour later this month. After watching this week's installments of AAA and CMLL T.V. (and after having watched CMLL for a few months now) I will bring to your attention the very noticeable differences between the two promotions and their products as well as how these differences have shown how similar the business in Mexico is to the business here in The States. All that and Jay Lethal's first major booking post-TNA, TNA's anniversary PPV poster, and a preview of Pro Wrestling NOAH's upcoming Ariake Colosseum show now with a complete card. 01:25:00Ichiban FannoPerro Aguayo Jr,WWE,New Japan Pro Wrestling,CMLL,Charly MansonI didn't get to Perro Aguayo Jr. and Arturo Rivera's health last week, so I'll make sure to get to that this week; that and more details on the Charly Manson ahttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/04/28/world-of-wrestling-42711Sportshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/04/28/world-of-wrestling-42711/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/04/28/world-of-wrestling-42711Thu, 28 Apr 2011 03:00:00 GMTWorld of Wrestling (4/27/11) The big story this week would be the E's annual draft being moved up from its normal beginning of the summer slot in the year's schedule. I'll give the aired and un-aired picks and transactions along with my thoughts on how both shows made out. Perro Aguayo Jr. and Arturo Rivera are two big names in Mexican pro wrestling that have gone under the knife in recent time for major health concerns. The conditions of both men and what this means for the business south of the border will be detailed. The beginning of May is a busy and exciting time for pro wrestling in Japan with noteworthy shows from every major promotion and many minor ones. I'll give the details on what is coming up in a loaded two weeks on the pro wrestling calendar in the Land of the Rising Sun. And Jay Lethal's time in TNA seems to be done leaving Black Machismo without a home for the moment, but with plenty of options. I'll detail those options as well as give my two cents on whether we'll ever see him on Raw or Smackdown. 01:15:00Ichiban FannoWWE Draft,Jay Lethal,Perro Aguayo Jr,Monday Night RAW,Friday Night SmackDownThe big story this week would be the E's annual draft being moved up from its normal beginning of the summer slot in the year's schedule.

Yuji Nagata of New Japan won All Japan's Champion's Carnival tournament last week and I will discuss what that means for Mr. Saikyo as well as why he's the leading candidate so far for Tokyo Sports Wrestler of the Year in Japan. John Morrison's comments about Trish Stratus being in a match at Wrestlemania will be looked over as well as what this could mean for the future of Morrison and Melina in The E. Sin Cara finally made his in-ring debut for The E and I will weigh in on that as well as what we can expect from the fromer Mistico upcoming. The E also made a new hire in the form of soap opera writer Tom Cassielo to the creative team, which I will comment on as well as any other news bits that come my way. 01:13:00Ichiban FannoYuji Nagata,TNA,Sin Cara,John Morrison,WWETNA had their Lockdown pay-per-view in Cincinnati Sunday and you can bet I will be weighing in on all the events of the show and giving my thoughts as to TNA'shttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/04/14/world-of-wrestling-41311Sportshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/04/14/world-of-wrestling-41311/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/ichiban-fan/2011/04/14/world-of-wrestling-41311Thu, 14 Apr 2011 03:00:00 GMTWorld of Wrestling (4/13/11) There has been a plea reached (pending the judge's approval) in Kurt Angle's drunk driving case in North Dakota. I'll talk about what the plea was, what it means for Kurt, and Kurt's history with substance use and abuse over the years. Scott Hall had a bit of a health scare this past weekend at an internet PPV taping for Top Rope Promotions. You'll hear the details as well as my take on the man himself. Superstar Billy Graham had some strong words for the WWE Hall of Fame and Chris Jericho in an interview with SLAM! Wrestling and I'll give my thoughts on them and on Jericho since his first exit from WWE back in 2005 as well as his current position on Dancing with The Stars. TNA's disaster in Cincinnati, also known as Lockdown, is a week away and I will preview the show and give my picks, though I'll be mostly giving my thoughts. And I don't know if you've heard, but The E is trying to get past this whole wrestling thing and become a full fledged entertainment company that offers wrestling. All this and updates on All Japan's Champion's Carnival tournament and some upcoming major cards in Japan. 01:17:00Ichiban FannoKurt Angle,Scott Hall,WWE,TNA,Chris JerichoThere has been a plea reached (pending the judge's approval) in Kurt Angle's drunk driving case in North Dakota.

And along those lines, I'll be predicting disaster the next time TNA will be heading outside of Orlando for a PPV. Clay Matthews and the Pack were on SmackDown last week and I'll go over that, being from Wisconsin and all. And Chris Jericho was in the news slightly for a quote about TNA, but I'll use the opportunity to go over where he is at as far as wrestling again goes. It took place at last weekend, but this week I'll go over Inoki's title tournament in IGF that included a Suzukawa/Sapp wrestling match through circumstances as suspect as those that killed their "fight" on New Year's Eve. 01:12:00Ichiban FannoTNA,Chris Jericho,Clay Matthews,Antonio Inoki,Kimbo SliceTNA's Against All Odds takes place on Sunday, so I'll get another chance to run down the current state of TNA.

The other major result of the weekend was the finals of New Japan's G-1 Tag League with the next major show for NJPW being their January 4 Tokyo Dome show. I'll get to that a little bit as nothing is really official as far as matches go.

I hate message boards and forums and all that, but I will address them in going over how fans of The E, TNA,and Ring of Honor tend to go gaga over their favs almost to the point of trying not to sound sensible and, at times, sane. And for those of you who are still not convinced that the youth movement in The E is for real and that The E isn't for real in actually going forward 100% with the before-mentioned youth movement, I have some evidence that suggests that they are going to give this thing a real go. Also, I'll have some of my reactions from AAA's Antonio Pena Memorial Show, which has taken up the last few weeks of AAA on Galavision.
