Well, from one extreme to another:

FMW - Combat Toyoda vs. Megumi Kudo (No-Rope Electrified Barbwire Deathmatch)

this is from the FMW 7th Anniversary show which is as far as I know like the best death match show ever, and it's also Toyoda's retirement match. It's pretty cool.

JR sounded like the finish caught him off guard. His best work on the show was flipping his poo poo over Okada's dropkick.

Yeah that honestly added a really cool feel to the event that I don't remember happening before, a legendary commentator starting out overwhelmed and eventually being legit in love with the product. It added a lot to it for me

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.

El Rey put up last episode's insane Lucha Underground Trios Title Tournament finish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRWZbLrGJIo

This is actually the second of two matches - the three people in the ring just thought they won the titles in a hard-fought match and it starts with the heel promoter/owner Dario telling them they actually have one more match to go.

Quoting with the hope that people watch this. The first half of the match is kinda by the numbers, but they're telling a story. And then Angelico happens about 6:20 in, and it becomes a thing. LU makes three stars, by telling three separate stories in a ten minute trios match. Incredible.

Seriously. If nothing else, watch it for the crazyness at 6:20.

turn it all around

I was so bummed out with Dario announced that they would face another team, then instantly relieved when it turned out to be The Crew. Such a bummer about Ivelisse's ankle, but I'm so happy that team won.

Now I'm just anxiously awaiting Sexy Star to pull out some more victories over main dudes and wind up the LU Champion.

Yeah, for those who didn't watch the full show, it's worth mentioning in that clip that I posted that Ivelisse shoot broke her ankle in the match immediately preceding this one, so when she's hopping around one leg with that kendo stick, it's not just a selling job.

Also, if you watch real closely, in that background of that Angelico spot at 6:20, you can see Vampiro (the color commentator) jump up from the announce desk, rip off his headphones, and go running away with his hands on his head. The spot was so hype, he couldn't deal with it, he had to run it off.

Probably because he's an actual fan of wrestling, considering he's done interviews with TNA and ROH guys also.

He got his start working with Opie and Anthony(former XFL employees btw) and their show has always had a ton of WWE guests. Jericho is pretty big friends with them iirc. So basically he's a huge wrestling mark making the most of his connections

Bray does seem like a nice guy, he was on Austin's podcast awhile back and he has a ton of passion for the business.

Which is probably why WWE have used him in their programming. Shoemaker and Rosenberg are gunning for the same kind of relationship, which is particularly problematic in Shoemaker's case because he's supposed to be a wrestling journalist.
