Likely there's a downside guarantee but it won't be that much compared to appearance fees.

davidbix posted:Nobody's exclusive anymore except for TV. I'm not sure what the catalyst was... I think you kinda nailed it. They have a handful of months under their belt running TV and Dark, and probably figured it’s a good idea to make sure everyone can get reps with the side effect of being a decent hearts and minds things for the existing workers as well as maybe attracting people like Jordynne who chose Impact over them, seemingly for that reason.

Between this and and B&V review of NXT+Dynamite, you really felt the love of pro wrestling.

I prefer to think it was two strangers who just showed up at his house determined to force him to go to PWG, and they were left baffled at how easy it turned out to be.

I'd like to imagine the couple were Mormons who turned up and instead of getting him to come to church he instead got them to ride their bikes down to see this PWG show.

I actually had a blast listening to that! Especially when he reveals how they stopped the probe with SCIENCE! Also echoing that the Jericho/Matt Hardy podcast was a good listen. Matt and Bray came up together with a scenario following Ultimate Deletion where Bray was gonna show up a merry hobo with a bindle at the Hardy Compound explaining that he had nowhere else to go after Randy Orton burned down his compound and Matt exorcised Sister Abigail so could he stay there? And he'd be given odd jobs around the place and bullied by Senor Benjamin and King Maxel as he and Matt built a rapport as a tag-team who could have long and competitive matches against top talent. Vince's counter-offer to this idea was,"You just become tag champs out of nowhere and win 4 minute nothing matches every week that help nobody!"

in my head, they were hunting for some Dave skin time but he wasn't feeling it so he dashed up into his office and quickly googled the nearest wrestling show and they all went. And had a good time.

"Tomohiro Ishii is one of the best wrestlers of all time and should probably be in the Hall of Fame before Randy Orton." Everybody who ever said Dave Meltzer was out of touch must be feeling pretty stupid right now!

Had to cancel my sub, along with my NJPW World one, as the current situation has only compounded my initial status of being without full time regular work since November last year. The AUD has nosedived back to the 'pacific peso' era of the John Howard years (0.58 USD & 0.66 JPY), so a big jump in the monthly billing was inevitable. I'm now relying on this thread and YT clips to keep tabs on news/happenings/drama until something changes.

Being that we realized that most Between The Sheets listeners haven't heard our Patreon deep dives and thus may not realize exactly what's different about them, we decided to put one up for free: Our deep dive into the failed Nigerian scam(!) that was the original attempt at launching the Global Wrestling Federation in late 1990. https://twitter.com/BTSheetsPod/status/1243011697704656896 And if you want more shows like this, we've got an archive dozens strong at the Patreon link in the show description.
