I've seen very little online about this for something so exciting potentially. Ember Moon (Athena) and Mercedes Martinez had one of the better series matches in SHIMMER history 2011/12:

This is a bad interview. Is she always such a bad interview? Aside from being generally bad and sounding unnatural, it doesn't really work to talk poo poo about someone not being able to win big matches when you've just admitted to losing a big match (and lost in the MYC).

i cant remember if he was any good or not, but i feel kinda bad for that guy who was in sanity, got hurt, and the group was getting quiet enough reactions that anyone was pretty much interchangeable. now sanity is main eventing the next takeover and i dont even remember his name or really much what he looked like other than a shadowrun character.

So what secret didn't Johnny want to talk about, wrestling under a mask in Chikara or kicking a woman in the head and being proud of it (also in Chikara)?

I dig Moss & Tino's tag finisher. Too bad everything else about them sucks. (And even that move is something that would be done better by...nearly everyone else.)

Also, I continue to be all in on Bianca Belair. Someday soon she and Montez Ford will take their rightful place on top of everything.

I don't know about that. One of Tino's clotheslines looked great to me, and generally I thought they looked okay. They aren't blowing me away but I'm not unhappy they're on TV.

The_Rob posted:

I love that his whole thing is that he just wants to be acknowledged as a threat. Like it's such good simple story telling.

I read it as a combination of wanting to be acknowledged as a threat; and the much better IMO plot of Black being a mature Satanist who is comfortable in his own skin, while Velveteen dream is an immature preening man demanding to be called a silly name and wants people to call him that.

Well....it's kind of like how with the Mandible claw Bill Wayss just asked Foley ""Why don't I just bite your goddamn fingers off?". Similarly, Bianca's hair looks ripe for someone to just pull it (I was shocked that her hair could hold Billie Kay's weight like that).

When was Johnny under a mask in CHIKARA? He was always part of FIST after his YLC run. Unless he played one of the dozens of throw-away villains that one season

I actually asked around about Johnny as nothing came to mind for me despite watching most of his matches. His home promotion AIW is pretty irreverent but they nearly always booked him as a serious main eventer.

The consensus is he was just working in that video.

Yes and yes. The only issue is how dead the Full Sail crowd is.

Just watch every takeover you missed, they're all good. And then the weekly show from the last takeover onwards is probably fine.

I would say start at Mania Takeover from this year, they revamped the presentation of the show and yeah the only bad thing about NXT TV is the dead crowd

I know there's a small but somewhat dedicated wrestling scene here in Brazil, but I know very little about it and it basically only exists in São Paulo. Cezar Bononi was one of those dudes, but from what footage I've watched there's really no standouts. It's a pretty amateurish scene after all.

Brazil is usually one of the loudest areas for just about anything, from music to wrestling.

Soccer culture dictates we must get REALLY into whatever we like. We're also just as nationalistic as the USA when it comes to "our" guys, which pisses Americans off sometimes, see: most UFC threads.

His match with Roddie was ok. He had great facial expressions and really nice intensity. I think with some more time he'll be fine. I saw Velveteen Dream in Independence MO in April and the improvement between now and then is really noticeable.

Lars Sullivan was cool too!

I live in Kansas City and I the last 18 months I've seen NXT 4 times. Twice in Omaha, Once in Salina KS and once in Independence MO. Every show has been great. It's a weird crowd because it's like 70% hardcores and 30% people who just want to watch wrestling. I watched Nakamura vs Tyler Breeze in front of 300 people. I seriously cannot say enough that it is worth it to go to these shows.
