>Dave opens the issue by talking about how PPV numbers for both WWF and WCW are down compared to recent years, even though TV ratings and house show business is up. For instance, this year's Bash At The Beach PPV, which had the hot Outsiders angle and the heavily-hyped "3rd man" reveal actually did a lower buyrate than last year's Bash At The Beach PPV which featured the 3rd PPV match between Hogan/Vader (and the first 2 had been disappointing).

You know what you stupid indie fucks, who cares about ratings? who cares about match quality? only stupid fat losers do, you know what really matters? money.
Oh wow Okada vs Omega has 6 stars, so what, Bliss and Alexa probably got paid more and did much less, and he'll o bet they didn't even care about the match because they knew they got paid more than any NJPW fag for doing less, hell look at guys like Karl Anderson, he is a fucking jobber but he gets paid more than Okada and Omega, who gives a shit about these shit stars or about match quality, aslong as you bring money you are good, I'd rather see a successful 1 star match that draws the comes than see 2 gooks kill another for bus fare.
Plus WWE guys don't give a fuck about wrestling, they don't care about passion, they know this is a shit show but don't care because they are drawing the big comes even as a fucking jobber and that makes them better then the NJPW gooks.

So with both Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi in the G1 tournament this year, it's highly likely that both of them will eventually cross paths on their ways to the finals. Now whether either of them goes to the finals or not is a different story but assuming they cross paths, wouldn't it be awesome if they had a controversial match together where they DON'T hit each other and take it incredibly easy on each other? Not only will this finally acknowledge, PWG style, that Professional Wrestling is a fake sport, a revelation that has been known for decades now but it's also a callback to their very good friendship and inability to hurt each other considering they've been friends and possibly even closer than that since way back then. This coincides with the wrestling audience consisting almost entirely of hardcore fans with no casuals who know that these matches are predetermined and that modern wrestling matches must be told and constructed in a different way. Their punches, forearms, kicks and other strikes intentionally miss by a mile, every strike straying further from the mark until Kenny Omega is superkicking the air while Kota's face is 50 feet away but he still bumps and sells the whiplash of his Jaw, their suplexes and slams are very slow and gentle as they drop each other onto the mat incredibly safely to the delight of the crowd. Instead of "fighting", they tell the story of two very close friends having a comically safe match in front of a smark audience that can appreciate the uniqueness of the match, eventually ending in a Rock-Paper-Scissors to determine who moves on, or a funny finish before they hug it out in the middle of the ring while the crowd gives them a standing ovation.
