i am extremely on board for this as well because i always forget when a GCW show is and the couple GCW event threads are a great reminder bc i am too dumb to set up my own reminders.

plus i'd much rather see Jimmy Lloyd find a new way to gross me out than watch uhh like King Baron Corbin or some bullshit.

Santino has been a serious Judo competitor for way more of his life than he was a fake Italian American. I'm optimistic, looking forward to blood sport, but not as much as Vinny.

God drat I’m really intrigued by this. A couple of years ago there was a Tim Donst vs Gage match where they brawled into the crowd like normal, but then they did some chain wrestling on the floor surrounded by the crowd. Gage escaped a leg lock by wheelbarrow crawling on his hands up the bleacher steps. It was an unexpected minute or two that popped the crowd pretty hard.

Simon Gotch is actually pretty good at the frappleguck style. His match with J.R. Kratos at the Mania weekend Bloodsport was a blast and his Beyond match with Thatcher was a very good Thatcher-style match. Also, Santino wasn't just a legit judoka, he also did a tour for BattlARTS. So as much as we all loath him, there are absolutely much worse choices available, especially since Barnett has been semi-insistent on only using wrestlers with some kind of legit background.

Gotch couldn't fight his way out of a paperbag with a rope and some scissors. Santino's pretty busted physically but I remember him being pretty good at helping people's backs find the mat(when he wasn't being mowed down). I'm looking forward to the fight in a STREETBEEFS kind of way.

Dickinson vs Barnett is a good replacement for the Moxley situation and I'm stupid hype about that one(rip my twitter).

before I got booted, I saw G-Raver had asked Cornette to come through. I hope Cornette takes him up on the offer. G-Raver has nearly died twice for my entertainment so he's pretty cool imo.

Cornette's reaction when he got @'d by one of his dipshit followers about G-Raver's injury was to laugh and say he deserved to bleed out. There was no way G-Raver was going to ignore that/not call that bullshit behavior out, nor should he have

Cornette had his chance to show he wasn't just an old crank who can't accept that it isn't 1983 anymore when AEW started up and no, he just proved he hates everything he isn't booked on.

But... He has watched every show and not hated it? Had mostly very sensible criticisms?

My views align with Cornette's on what wrestling should be, but he's a queerphobic douche who hates everything and it wasn't so much him making GBS threads on AEW that made me realize he was biased to gently caress, but how much he praises MLW despite the fact that they do all the same poo poo he claims to hate.

Edit: That, and somebody linking that Ninja Turtle video.

Jim Cornette believes that ninja turtles should be allowed to be wrestlers and whip his rear end and he's not wrong about that but I think it's time to wrap it up, Cornailures.
