THE MORISHIMA ANNOUCEMENT!!!

[Murf]

So, we have:

vs: Samoa Joe - Manhattan, 2/16
vs. Homicide - Philadelphia 2/17
vs: "Main-Eventer" - Dayton 2/23
/Nigel McGuinness vs. Joe/Homicide - Chicago 2/24

I say he beats Joe, loses to Homicide, beats main-eventer, and as supersonic stated, Nigel gets the win in Chicago which builds up for one of the UK shows.

I'll have to admit, I've never sat down to watch a Morishima match.

That changes now - off to see Morishima vs. Misawa from last March on youtube.

That's a damn good match.

I'm impressed, although no 300+ pound human being should be taking bumps off the apron onto the floor unless they want their bodies to start feeling like Mick Foley.

["IcePic" Rick Cobos]

Who do you guys think the Dayton challenger will be?

I'll go out on a limb and say...



Roderick Strong.


Or it could predictably be Davey Richards.

But how about Morishima & Nigel vs. Briscoes?

[H-Fist]

Anyone think Morishima might get a week or two with the belt as an exchange for the Briscoes' short tag reign? Morishima beats Cide on 2/17, then drops it back to him in a rematch on 2/23. Would be totally anti-Gabe booking, but it'd still be fun to see. And yeah, that'll be a friggin' awesome tag team main event to see live in Chicago. 150 miles, 3 hours away. *Mental note to request day off work*

SUMO WRESTLING!

From BurningKobashi over at the GreenDestiny boards:

Misawa suffered a cervical spine sprain and a concussion from a powerbomb to the floor he received very early in the mtach. He wrestled unconsciously for 20 minutes and doesn't remember the match at all. He needs to rest for 2 weeks, but should be able to start training after that.
Or as sportsnavi put it: "Misawa defended a belt to the death at the risk of life"

here's the match

[Murf]

Thanks.

Yeah you can see Misawa's eyes go glazed right after he hits.

[Chuckie Finster]

Yeah, AND HE GOES TO THE TOP ROPE! I screamed at him to get down.

It's a train wreck, but not a bad train wreck.

EDIT: The Emerald Fusion on the ramp could have been REALLY BAD.

[Joekishi]

i'd rather see Samoa Joe vs. Taiyo Kea.

BATTLE OF THE ISLANDERS who love to kick

Good god, he takes germans, lariats, that bossman attack...

though they are moving at half speed

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

Not the first time I've heard of someone wrestling knocked out. Check out the Sandman/Cactus Jack Texas Death Match on the Foley DVD. I myself could never bring myself to watch it...and I doubt I'll be watching this match, either.

I guess Misawa's sick-bump-luck couldn't last forever.

[HMARK Center]

On a positive note, I ordered my tickets for 2/16 earlier this week. Seventh row for Joe vs. Morishima? Sounds like a plan.

I'm surprised he took more of those vicious bumps. Misawa took a DDT to the outside, two brutal Uranage, a couple of stiff lariats, and about two or three backdrops.

I Hope Misawa gets better. Does anybody know what they say about Bam Bam at the end

[xxxtreme]

Morishima is gonna own in ROH. Joe vs Morishima will be sweet. Lets hope soon enough we get Joe Vs Misawa
