When I was a kid we had roller derby on TV with wrestling, but it was that 80s roller derby with like gator pits and poo poo. Then as an adult I got to be the secretary for our local derby team. No gators, but it still kicked rear end!

Ryuki Honda, he is indeed cool. One of the most popular guys in the company that isn't in Kento's stable and he's only 23 so still a ton of room to grow

It's bloody nice to see a company that has built itself around young talent, mostly either homegrown or picked up when Wrestle-1 died, being rewarded with success.

I repeat my regular call that everyone should be watching All Japan right now. Unless Tony Khan is reading this in which case stay well clear, it's rubbish, you'd do much better to be focusing on signing young talent from NOAH. I bet Stallion Rogers would fit in well on Dynamite. And wait until you see this hip young cat called Saxon Huxley.

He actually got a couple of Dark tryouts after he was released by WWE, but then almost immediately after getting that tryout seemed to confirm the #SpeakingOut allegations against him and in the process talked about how many 'butthurt' gay and trans people there are out there complaining on the internet, and lost basically all of his stateside booking.

I hadn't realized he was working over in Japan, given the sort of cascade of weird statements/apologies (and his two big friends/mentors in wrestling apparently being Michael Elgin and Matt Riddle) I just kind of assumed he'd disappeared. I thought he was entertaining in the Evolve stuff I saw him in 4-5 years ago so if he's got his poo poo together and is doing well in Japan, good for him. But I wonder what he'd have to do to get back into the US wrestling scene's good graces.

There needs to be more lovely clones of american gladiators imo, battle dome ruled

Maybe with a central focus on something that ruins knees and ankles less, though. Apparently the Battle Dome was a great way to roll, strain, sprain and wreck everything from the hips down

I think johncraig meant “the guy making GBS threads on swerve and then becoming a bootlicker the second he got swerve’s attention is babylike behavior”

If not, that’s how i read the sitch at least
