That bro handshake meme but one arm is "early Metallica being any good" and "early Megadeth being any good" and the hands clasping says "Dave Mustaine's riffs".

But then the meme is flushed down a toilet covered in libertarian propaganda.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

This would explain why GCW turned from neo ECW to neo XPW at record speed, NOAH took their mojo like when WCW raided the ECW crusiers.

He's not jumping face forward, he's poorly trying to intercept and catch which opens him up to the cutter

You're right, it was an unfair criticism based on the angle. I like Ninja Mack a lot and this was too much of a nitpick.

be a scummy indy promotion taking advantage of talent and being cheap fucks that turn a blind eye to drug use, running way to many mid as gently caress shows, the dumb rear end lawsuit with iwtv which is their fault, a couple of their top wrestlers getting outed as abusive sex creeps recently, implied that brent is just using nick gage for money, runs all his social media accounts, general poor production issues and wrestling, looking like loving idiots with booking & big shows like hammerstein one, running off a bunch of other talent like RSP and Atticus Croger due to these reasons, feuding politically with other death match promotions and threatening to blackball people. oh supposedly faking multiple negative covid test/ordering fake vaccine cards too maybe?

This is the most bad faith post I’ve ever read. Like there’s a couple in there you could argue, but most of this stuff is unsubstantiated rumors and personal opinion. Oh no a wrestling promoter is using a top star for money? Holy poo poo.

The smaller version of what kungfu said, they have run many less good shows.

The New York show was also a big thing to many - but the show had the good and the worst of gcw (not the best), and they went back to tiny shows. Some thought they were going to break through to another level, but they do far haven't.

Like they had momentum and haven't risen from it.

Please, this is all I have
Even at the start of the year I was on the hype train for GCW and after so many dull or bad shows this year I'm off it. Even the backyard 4th of July show wasnt that good this year

DPW is my new bae now and the people who don't run it suck. except jawny

BAEST MODE!!!
GCW's main problem is they wouldn't push any of their core of really talented wrestlers as the next guy (even Colon who 3 peated TOS was clearly never going to be the guy despite being really over and good.) Instead the hardest push they've given anyone is Allie Katch who is really, really bad. So they've lost some people, haven't been able to bring in some other good people due to politics and because of it their shows just aren't that good anymore. Janela is also really hit or miss and lost all of his star power so even having him full time doesn't help.

Like you could cite the various rumors and scandals but it's indie wrestling none of that really matters in terms of a promotion having hype. GCW just isn't booking good shows anymore.

All this for stealing a piece of bread? :waycool:

To piggyback this, Jon Moxley is still the GCW Champion. They’ve done almost nothing to build someone even remotely credible to take the belt off of him, outside of the few like Atticus who could’ve done it if it wasn’t for his fallout with the company or even AJ Gray when they fought months ago. There would have to be some type of fuckery for Moxley to lose that belt.

He said the locker room was too toxic due to unchecked drug use and other unspecified unsavoury things that he felt made it tough for anyone with addiction or mental health issues to be around.

It does seem like the company has gone off a cliff and now their title is on a guy who is just absolutely leagues above it, I really don’t see what they can do to get it off him until Gage is back.
