I bought a wrestling t-shirt. I\u2019ve been on the verge of doing this before. I\u2019ve been extremely close. I haven\u2019t been able to pull the trigger. Usually I remember that WWE makes their shirts with the graphic design expertise of a 4th grader and out of a fabric one could easily mistake for sandpaper. Sometimes, I lose passion just before finalizing the order. Today, neither of these things were obstacles. I needed to get my hands on a Golden Lovers t-shirt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven\u2019t been watching NJPW or reading <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/category\/ppv_reports\/njpw-ppv-reports\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the excellent NJPW coverage Jason Powell has been doing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (note: he has not coerced me into saying that), The Golden Lovers are Kota Ibushi and Kenny Omega. They were one of the best tag teams in the world for a long time, then they went their separate ways. One of the longest running stories in NJPW (and as a through-line of everything either man has done) for many years has been when they would share the ring together again, either as opponents or a team. This week, it finally happened.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among the many wonderful things about Omega and Ibushi as a team is the way it transcends wrestling or a simple friendship. Whether both men are expert storytellers or simply living the gimmick, the love between them feels real. There is a passion to their interactions. There is a longing to everything they do, and it has been there for years. Ever since Kota Ibushi challenged AJ Styles for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship in 2015 and Omega\u2019s distraction cost him the match, watching Omega and Ibushi go without each other has been painful. Their reunion was as tear-jerking a moment as Miss Elizabeth saving Randy Savage at WrestleMania VII.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/78.media.tumblr.com\/245de8170456df9063d4830c3a14893c\/tumblr_p39emi5HK71u1ljrzo1_500.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cut to me in my living room&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/img.buzzfeed.com\/buzzfeed-static\/static\/2014-07\/3\/4\/enhanced\/webdr09\/anigif_enhanced-buzz-6782-1404376435-25.gif?ssl=1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrestling has a major issue with representation, especially considering it is a genre built on a specific image and version of masculinity. More than loving this story (and it\u2019s one of the best wrestling stories this decade), I love how Omega and Ibushi, undeniably two of the best wrestlers in the world, are telling a queer love story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrestling can transcend genres, break barriers, and lead to true enlightenment. Wrestling, as a storytelling medium, is capable of so much. Ibushi and Omega are flipping a genre based on the premise of toxic masculinity on its head and using it to tell an epic love story. I am utterly charmed. I am in love with The Golden Lovers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Looking ahead to Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania<\/b><\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-1767135300\" class=\"prowr-content-4 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_2 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_2\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_2\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since I won\u2019t have the opportunity to podcast preview Elimination Chamber as I usually would (I swear I\u2019ll record more for y\u2019all soon), I figured I\u2019d write something up bout it. The container-based show happening this weekend in Las Vegas feels like WWE kicking WrestleMania season into high gear. Since the Raw portion of WWE\u2019s main roster is the only portion capable of telling a halfway decent story, I have a lot of confidence in this show being good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Men\u2019s Elimination Chamber Match:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Is it okay to type \u201cLOLROMANWINS\u201d and be done with it? No? Alright good, because while Roman Reigns will ultimately win this thing, WWE has a lot brewing for all seven of these men. This was shown in the excellent two hour Gauntlet Match on Monday\u2019s Raw. WWE has found unexpected success with Elias and I hope WrestleMania season doesn\u2019t see him on the outside looking in like 2017 Braun Strowman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking of Strowman, I want to see him wreck this chamber thoroughly. It\u2019s time for the full chamber to be pulled down on someone. Finn Balor and The Miz have reached almost the same plain, which is great for Miz and slightly less great for Balor. I believe they\u2019re WrestleMania dance partners and will foreshadow that here. Seth Rollins was rebuilt and given some bonus fire after all his tag partners died and it\u2019s necessary. Adding him to this match feels like a last minute move, but the right kind of one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">John Cena has a really interesting story if you can ignore that he\u2019ll always have a WrestleMania match. I love the idea of him losing focus. It plays into the very things he accused The Rock of during their feud and shows why Cena found them detrimental. John Cena is going to get an interesting path to WrestleMania and I can\u2019t wait to watch it develop weekly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And yeah, Roman Reigns wins. He\u2019s going to win the main event of WrestleMania too. More interesting and exciting for Roman is what comes after. He had an amazing feud with AJ Styles after WrestleMania 32, which was another LOLROMANWINS show. He\u2019s a great professional wrestler capable of telling great stories. I\u2019m looking forward to Roman being on top again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Women\u2019s Elimination Chamber Match:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Alright, so I am excited about women getting more opportunities to have WWE\u2019s marquee matches. This is awesome and important and the right thing to do. I am a little miffed about the character developments going into this one though. WWE hasn\u2019t set up much for Alexa Bliss, Mickie James, Sasha Banks, Bayley, Sonya Deville, and Mandy Rose. While this is still a better story than anything on Smackdown, that\u2019s a comedically low bar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deville and Rose feel like henchmen forced too soon into the spotlight. WWE hasn\u2019t told us much about them individually. Rose had more personality development on the Mixed Match Challenge (a great show, by the way) than she\u2019s had on Raw. Neither woman would be a good winner for this match, but hopefully they get to show something.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mickie James is still in search of the great veteran storytelling WWE could do, but rarely does. Her match with Asuka in NXT might be the closest we get.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bayley is in serious need of character rehabilitation, but this is not the place to do so. I see her as a potential Sasha Banks opponent for WrestleMania, which could be set up here. It\u2019s the right thing to do for these two women. I\u2019m all about more women\u2019s feuds not centering around a championship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alexa Bliss feels like the foregone conclusion to win this one and go on to face Asuka, as she should be. Alexa will be a great foil for Asuka going into WrestleMania and I hope WWE gives them the time to tell a fun story.<\/span><\/p><div id=\"prowr-3117184615\" class=\"prowr-content-5 prowr-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: prowrestling_incontent_3 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"prowrestling_incontent_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\", slotId: \"prowrestling_incontent_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><b>Nia Jax vs. Asuka:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Now is not the time to end Asuka\u2019s streak. Nia Jax is not the person to end it. This should be really great though.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, those are all the matches I really care about on this show!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>SSMGOTW (Superfluous Shane McMahon Gif of the Week):<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3oFzm6L4mvGEMbSEP6\/giphy.gif?ssl=1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Well, at least he&#8217;s the commissioner on a brand booked just as poorly as late era WCW&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>We\u2019re Done Here:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So originally, I had a third topic to write a mini essay on, but my research into what brand had more matches on WWE\u2019s co-branded PPVs since the 2016 draft went against my expectations. I figured Raw would have had almost double the matches Smackdown did on all of the co-branded shows, but I was wrong. While Raw did have more matches, it was just 20 Raw matches vs. 16 Smackdown matches. Spread out across 7 PPVs, that is hardly a relevant figure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add to this the 18 matches that were co-branded (both Survivor Series shows account for 13 of these 18 matches), and WWE has been shockingly even with their brand splits. Sure, Smackdown\u2019s writing team is a garbage fire, but at least they get almost equal time?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will Pruett writes about wrestling and popular culture at prowrestling.net.
