Wait, is David Starr bad? I feel like I've heard his name a bunch lately so I assumed he was good but I've never actually seen him wrestle.

David starr had an awful match with Fred Yehi in PWG, both guys looked terrible.

His match with Quackenbush at JJSB 2 was OK

I don't see where the hype is coming from

KISS ME KRIS

I've been watching Starr regularly for a few years now and he's definitely improved. When I started watching, he'd just run a list of moves and it was whatever. Now he's got them trimmed down to a sweet spot where if you let him run the table, it looks good that but there's plenty of chances to cut him off and punish him. His poo poo looked competitive and contextual. The german suplex at the end was a wonderful last ditch attempt and that floatover into a sleeper was slick as hell.

I think its hard for Starr to get over with some people because he's not 100% babyface in all the places he works. His heelwork is obnoxious exceptionalism bullshit so when he flips to babyface mode it leaves a lot of cognitive dissonance. Dude went from having a verbal pissing match over opportunities in Beyond to "gee it'd be swell to wrestle Quack" in like the span of a week with no real prompting.

imagine if aj vs brock was like aj doing chop battles and powering out of brock's holds while grunting and also brock had to visibly slow down to keep up with aj's pace. thats the david starr walter match.

Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

David Starr's promo abilities are incredible and wasted on most Indies tbh

It's why I'm secretly glad he basically never gets booked for Evolve, who never loving lets anyone talk (except stokely at least, thank god) outside of lovely YouTube videos no one watches (unless they feature jarek)

There was some hubbub about some unprofessionalism in the lockerroom that was hinted at by the Young Bucks. Did anyone catch that and know what the context is for that?

I complete me.
Walter is coming to OTT, generally we seem to be one of the stops on the 'He's going to NXT soon' run. I think we had Chris Hero, Tommy End, Kyle O'Reilly, Ricochet, Big Damo, and a few others do a show or two in OTT before heading off.

Still, at least Walter is coming.

I find the idea of Walter just being known as WALTER is incredibly amusing.
Then I look at WALTER.
Yep, nobody has been more WALTER in their life.

I have high hopes for Jervis. He's been wonderful for literally years, and he doesn't deserve for his mind to betray him like this.
