I feel like a lot of LGBT+ wrestlers are pretty green right now due to the fact that for a large part of its history it was a pretty homophobic institution. It's really exciting to see so many performers coming out so early in their careers and I'm really looking forward to seeing them grow as performers (go Mike Parrow)

Nyla looked good in Marvelous but was working under probably the best trainer in the world in Chigusa Nagayo.

Speaking of Parrow, he and Odinson are challenging Violent Giants for the AJPW tag titles tomorrow and that should be a very good match!

New Japan kept me going but it is a thrill to have bigtime North American wrestling that is actually exciting and something to look forward to again.

Wasn't a fan of Nyla's performance at Double Or Nothing.

But that four-way match was one of the matches that was a disaster when they rehearsed it and it had a lot of moving parts. Ultimately it turned out more than fine when the cameras were rolling. Was amused at Baker and Kylie seemingly in self-preservation mode paired off for most of the match.

Hope she improves and gets better as obviously, it will annoy the right people.

I got into NJPW because of Kenny and I'm actually more excited about it now after the AEW exodus, so even if AEW fails I feel like things have gotten better in the industry.

Still wondering how AEW is going to do a weekly show because they have a strange mix of talent at the moment. A large part of that is viewing it through the lens of the only wrestling I really know, ie. "how would WWE/WCW book Jungle Boy vs Sonny Kiss" and it terrifies me.

I obtained this title through beard tax.

I think Nyla is being pushed a bit too hard for how green she is and it might backfire a bit, I think they're being very hopeful that she'll rise to it and it might end up hurting her career in comparison to having waited until she didn't look out of her depth, hopefully their very hopeful hope is true tho


edit: also her ring gear sucks and looks really cheap and uncoordinated and they should fix that asap

The only drawback to Fyter Fest is that we're not getting the main event we were promised last year:

Ibushi v Daryl.

I lurk all the wrestling stuff but haven’t really watched anything outside of a few NJPW shows and YouTube highlights for about a decade. That being said I’m buying fyter fest tonight.

I like how BTE and AEW exist in a parallel universes where they can have this weird bit going on online, but not during the actual show itself.

Buffetweight's is an awesome term lol.

Nah, I don't think there are any big boys on the card tonight. Although if you watch the G1 Bad Luck Fale is in one of the blocks.

I stole it from a graps poster here ages ago, but it is Very Good

And thanks Ishii (it's cool that you also post on SomethingAwful with the rest of us goons lol) I like Fale more than most people seem to but we truly do need a big boy renaissance now more than ever if he's our best bet
