What's the general consensus on Danhausen? I've seen several of his matches and a bunch of his social media stuff and I'm entertained. Him and Effy as Gaytanic Panic was pretty fantastic.

I love the bit, but if I never hear Tequila again, it'll be too soon. I've only ever seen him do Face In Peril spots and His Bits (teeth, Tequila) so I find him underwhelming? Like if I didn't know Orange Cassidy was an amazing wrestler before AEW. What am I missing here?

I find his sense of humor extremely grating. He strikes me as a kid who really loved Johnny the Homicidal maniac in high school. He just has a very mid 2000’s so random feeling to him. He’s not bad in ring and he’s in good shape, but his whole gimmick turns me off really badly. Effy likes him though and I really like effy.

Danhausen is perfect as Effy’s weird friend. He’s pretty cool and I love the gimmick but he’s not quite at the level that would let him stand on his own. He really needs a good coming out match.

I wanted to be a hipster and not like him because he was generating some people in PSP saying he should get signed to AEW, but then I somehow ended up with four pieces of his merch.

I'm curious to see what happens with ACH and AEW. Is be surprised if he does end up there. I feel like it's more likely he turns them down and works indies and maybe some njpw dates for a bit. Or they just don't offer one because the Elite appear to be boys with Lethal.

I keep hearing, oh, the Bucks are so tight with Jay Lethal!

But, like.

Lethal is in RoH right now. Not AEW. And it's not like he's in some waiting out his contract scenario like Marty, he re-signed in November last year.

I'm pretty sure Lethal's relationship with anyone outside of ROH is pretty chilly right now and has been for quite a while. You don't hear many people shouting him out like they used to.

On Saturday after his AAW return he said he will never sign a contract again so I can't see him showing up at AEW anytime soon.

AEW seems to use local and indie enhancement talent so not sure that would be a legit reason for him never showing up.

Black Label Pro shows are usually pretty good. Chikara have great storytelling. Flying V Fights only have a few shows but they're all good. Limitless have been putting on some real solid shows lately. I've only watched a couple of Freelance shows, but they've been decent.

Honestly my main advice is just to find a recent show with some people you like on the bill and watch it. If you liked Kris Statlander on AEW, she headlines the latest Limitless show. If you want a taster of what a bunch of different promotions are up to, during Wrestlemania weekend several of them came together to do a show called the Midwest Mixtape which had a really good card: https://iwtv.live/promotion/PBTV#lP4EoOK7Y2

I checked what they have. Saw IWA Mid South, was going to recommend some of the Ted Petty Invitational shows but they don't have many of them up for some reason. They do however have the 2007 TPI which I haven't seen in 12 years but my memory of it is that the tournament was dope. The tournament has some great wrestlers in it like Claudio Castagnoli, Mike Quackenbush, Chuck Taylor, Ricochet (if you've never seen young long haired Ricochet, it's funny), Nigel McGuinness, etc. I specifically remember liking the finals. But the real standout match from the show is a non-tournament match on night 2: Chris Hero vs Eddie Kingston in a Last Man Standing match. It's one of those "feuds all over the indies" that started because they genuinely disliked each other & the end result is two dudes who are really great at wrestling just battering the bejezus out of each other.

It still really annoys the completionist rear end in a top hat in me that there's so little early Chikara. OK Quack, I know that they aren't very good shows, but I've always wanted to see the match with Blind Rage where Ichabod Slayne loses his mask to become Icarus. Ultramantis before he was Ultramantis Black. As someone who watched Chikara from about 05 until 08 or 09 I have a strong attachment to that first class of trainees but I've never been able to see their early poo poo and it blows and I blame Quackenbush. They also brought in La Parka (the original) for a match in that first year, Quack & Reckless Youth vs Parka & Mister ZERO (aka the guitarist in Pissed Jeans. Sorry, that makes me smile every time I think of it)

That was a failure at recommending Chikara stuff, sorry.

I really like Southern Underground Pro. Well shot, good straightforward storytelling and a lot of good wrestlers that I’d never seen before. I’d start with Satisfaction Is The Death of Desire solely for the beefy as gently caress AJ Gray vs O’Shay Edwards match.
