WOL: TakeOver and SummerSlam previews, G1, more

On this week’s Saturday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, I preview NXT TakeOver and WWE SummerSlam.

We also compare Seth Rollins now to Seth Rollins at the beginning of The Shield. I don’t think he has the same edge and I think fans can sense it. Plus, why Trish Stratus isn’t holding any other talent down by competing in her last match against Charlotte Flair at SummerSlam.

With Kota Ibushi winning the A Block of the G1 Climax, we talk about potential opponents, outcomes, and why it looks like New Japan will continue to do in the future what New Japan has always done in the past.

In addition, Kenny Omega in Tokyo, Riho wins the High Speed title in Stardom, ROH troubles, and the embarrassment of riches we fans have as there are so many talented wrestlers at every level around the world and so many outstanding matches happening on a regular basis.
