I like the move but it's not a finisher for me. They're letting him use both the 450 and the Styles Clash so I don't see why he doesn't use them as his finishers. In fact having the 450, Styles Clash and Calf Killer (or whatever they're calling it now) as your three finishers would be pretty well rounded for AJ.
Plus they must have spent all off four seconds coming up with the name, and that pisses me off too.

I always hate Manchester United, always have, always will but there are times when my hatred grows greater than it is usually and tonight was one of those nights. Those bastards in the FA Cup Final, ugh.

1)Zayn/Nakamura – NXT Takeover: Dallas 2)Aztec Warfare 2 - Lucha Underground 3)Nakamura/Styles - Wrestle Kingdom 10 4)Zayn/Joe - NXT 5)Styles/Owens/Jericho/Zayn - Raw 6)Charlotte/Banks/Lynch - Wrestlemania 32 (historic moment, even with Sasha whiffing the sunset flip) 7)Lethal/Cole/O’Reilly, ROH World Championship 8) Mil Muertes/Pentagon/Prince Puma - Lucha Underground 9) New Day vs Y2AJ - Raw 10)American Alpha/Revival - NXT: Takeover Dallas ..Yes i realize i need to expand my horizons beyond my big 2 (LU, WWE). But can anyone suggest great tag matches? Haven't seen anything from Redragon in a looong while To be honest there haven't been too many great tag team matches this year apart from the one's you've listed in your top ten. And reDRagon have mostly been wrestling singles matches. There was a really fun reDRagon/Kingdom/Bucks match on ROH TV at the start of the year but it was good not great. Probably the best tag match I've seen apart from the two you've mentioned.

Yeah, I'd be down for a brief tag run for them. They're knocking it out of the park at the minute.

I can't overstate how much I'm looking forward to Roddy/Sabre II. Roddy's been an amazing Champ and Sabre's just that dude right now. I heard it was amazing live, just hoping that translates to DVD and we get the show sometime before November.

It should have been O'Reilly I think but they blew their load too early. Right now I think it's better to let Lethal keep the belt until such a time as a main event push for someone really takes hold. If Lethal gets stale before anyone is ready just have him drop it to a babyface Cole and let him have a run before he inevitably heads off to WWE next year.
I wouldn't be against Tana winning usually - especially if he does so as a heel in ROH because I've been waiting for a Tana heel run for about five years now and if the only place I can get it is ROH then so be it - but I'd rather not because I'm sick of them just basically saying NJPW is better than ROH in every way possible every single time.

I think Brendan Rodgers would be a great appointment for both parties. I think he'd do a great job for Celtic and I think Celtic allowing him to do that would allow him to rebuild his reputation.

Massive massive point tonight, now hopefully we can get a result against Liverpool (not an impossible ask) Away from home it might be. Amazing how much more confident and at ease we look at home. Still tonight was a good performance, although it felt like a bit of a missed opportunity. Third or not we had City on the ropes at half time. Really felt like we let them off the hook. Still could have had all three points (which would have been huge) if it wasn't for Hart's excellent save from Gini. Every match now is a Cup Final and we have to approach it as such.

Buster Douglas knocking out Mike Tyson Good point, I thought that was '89 for some reason. If Cameroon/Argentina isn't number 2, then I'll eat my keyboard. I know Buster knocking out Tyson was huge but I still think you were right originally. Cameroon beating Argentina was bigger.

Liverpool vs. Villarreal and Sevilla vs. Shakhtar in the Europa League draw.
I'm pulling for City, Atleti, Liverpool and Sevilla respectively.

Nights and games like that remind me why I love this great sport. Not even a Liverpool supporter. Yeah I was the same. Love Dortmund but I have a soft spot for Klopp even if I don't really care for Liverpool. Anyway I started this game off rooting for Dortmund but Liverpool's comeback was so great I found myself amped for them in the final ten-fifteen minutes. Amazing game of football. And when Lovren scored at the end it was just magic.

EXCEPT it WAS a clear goal scoring opportunity, as the AM player was clear ..... but perhaps it was because the pass was lateral in front of goal and not going towards it? but no matter the player if it's a deliberate handball like that it should be a red card! also that barca penalty claim right at the end was handled inside the box, but his feet were on the line but well done atletico and to man city and real madrid ..... and just seen bayern munich go through too Like I mentioned, I didn't see it but even the way you're describing it, it doesn't sound like a sending off. It can only be a sending off if it is the motion which deliberately denies a goal. "A goal" being the key phrase i.e. not "a goalscoring opportunity" but "a goal". If the ball is heading towards the back of the net and it is deliberately handballed it is a sending off. If a player, for example, tries to square the ball to a teammate (even if said teammate would then have an open goal) and an opposing player deliberately handballs it - that is not a sending off.

Barca got screwed out of a penalty there. Although they've been poor tonight and didn't deserve to win. They did for sure. Though, they were lucky when Iniesta only got a yellow because that was as deliberate a handball you're going to see. Still, rather than say it all evens out, what we saw was a ref get two calls very wrong. They just happened to go against each team. I didn't see the game but unless Iniesta was preventing the ball from going in the goal then a caution is the correct decision. A player can only be sent off for a handball offence if said player prevented a goal from occuring with his action. If this was the case then yeah he should have been dismissed but I am assuming (perhaps foolishly) that it wasn't preventing a goal therefore no matter how deliberate it was, a yellow card is the correct decision.

With Naito now IWGP Champ a really cool yet not massive main event they should run with for one of the lesser ROH/NJPW shows in May should be Naito and Lethal (since they've shown alignment at previous co-promoted events) vs. their respective upcoming challengers. For example Naito/Lethal vs. Okada/O'Reilly (since, thankfully, the dreaded Naito/Ishii match will have aired by then) would be a really sweet match. Just seems to build itself and would be a pretty special main event for one of the lesser shows (i.e. Not Global Wars).

Yeah, it's pretty great. Stick it with some Ambrosia custard as someone mentioned earlier and it's pretty beautiful.
