sticklefifer posted:DG's Triangle Gate (trios) belts are their symbol of "unit supremacy". Even if the Dream Gate champion is in your unit, he might be the best single wrestler and the main eventer, but you're still not necessarily the #1 faction. The idea being that 3 guys holding belts that represent a singular championship are more dominant than any singles wrestler or tag team.

I can't stress enough to people just how much happened at Korakuen. It was like a masterclass in great booking.

Are there many instances of two personalities in some medium interacting where one party is seemingly trying to work and the other is clearly either not interested or taking it seriously? Something like what appeared to be happening between Ogogo/Gresham/Grace, though that also might have just been damage control from Ogogo for being an rear end in a top hat to begin with. So like legitimate heat because someone didn't appreciate the sort of, "work" the other was doing. I've always sort of wondered what, if any, DMs or personal calls go out following say, a WWE personality bashing a former colleague/contemporary in print because Vince told them to (or assumed they had to). I know Tony Schiavone apologized to Mick Foley for the spoiler/butts in seats remark, so I would hope someone like Seth Rollins made a call or two to Mox after he initially made some of those lame comments like Mox couldn't hack it, he, "took his ball and went home," or, "tries to take food out of my family's mouth."

Generally people think Cornette was trying to do something with the Bucks but they've said he went too far with the poo poo he said. Matt & Nick specifically claim he wanted to manage them in PWG.

There was a time when Cody was doing the indies when some wrestler on Twitter was trying to start poo poo with him. Cody simply shut him down, explaining that this wasn't the way to go about getting a match with him.

The guys in MLW in the Azteca stable (outside of the crossover show) are almost certainly on a per-appearance deal, but I know King/Mil Muertes signed a multi-year deal with MLW last summer. I'm not sure about Matt Cross/Son of Havoc.

During AEW's first Stadium Stampede match, a portion of the match with Matt Hardy vs Santana & Ortiz had a pool involved. There was also a pool around during the Jericho Cruise episode of Dynamite when MJF got thrown into it. No full match though. And AEW-adjacent would be the match between Matt and Nick Jackson on BTE 200, which had some attempted pinfalls take place in a pool.

That's not really doing the insanity of the Stadium Stampede match justice. Matt Hardy kept changing gimmicks every time he got dunked, so Total Deletion, Matt Hardy v1, Big Money Matt Hardy, and a few others all showed up at least briefly.

It's not a US promotion (but I'm not sure why you'd keep the question to major US promotions) Chris Brookes's third match in DDT was at one of their rojos in a swimming pool. It's a good and fun show, lots of nasty bumps on to tile and exposed wood.

I didn’t say it wasn’t good, I said it’s more of a “wow haha what a thing that is” if a mainstream company with a giant audience does it vs a little company in front of a comparatively tiny audience.
