He was always fun doing color for Chikara and IWA-MS, too

One time Arik Cannon countered a running move with a stiff punch, and Kingston lost his poo poo in hilarious fashion. I know they don't really need him but Kingston as PnP's manager in AEW would rule.

Yeah, King was good fun with Punk and Prazak for that legendary Joe Necro match at Viking Hall. Always loved when he'd get to do commentary with Bryce or Ultramantis Black for Chikara too.

This. Eddie has a foul mouthed, almost child-like joy of good pro-wrestling. Would love to hear him do more commentary (especially if he's hanging up the boots soon).

The cutest thing on his recent guest commentary on Beyond was him enthusing at the IWTV live graphic that looks like the old MTV logo. he was just happy that someone did something fun!

Finally catching up on Beyond and Eddie Kingston is a blessing on commentary. Like, I don't know that I need him for two hours or whatever, but just a few matches here and there for flavor.

He was perfect for the Starr v Orange Cassidy match, especially when OC started doing real moves and Kingston was straight up baffled by it.

Flying V was good as always, Ophidian vs War Horse is an HM honestly, Logan Easton Laroux is the king of jawing with fans, and the very concept of a hoss tag team like Arik Royal and O’Shay Edwards fills me with childlike glee.

fatu the world title challenger did a no-call no-show at aaw even though i think they've been building him up to win the title all year. i'm gonna assume it's dirty play from mlw since they've had heat ever since they started running in chicago

The most minor Indie pet peeve possible: I hate how long it takes for shows other than Beyond to go from streaming on IWTV to available on demand. I live in the UK. I usually can't stay up to watch wrestling in the middle of the night on weekdays, which means it's sometimes a week or more before I can watch a show after it aired.

And yes, I realise that not long ago it was untold months before I could get a third generation dvd. It's still annoying.

They could go faster but Beyond's promoter says they've sometimes delayed stuff for monetization purposes. Which I'm cool with, that food truck can't cover everything.

i need all of this RIGHT NOW, good lord. deppen/kingston, low-ki/takeda, and gage/blanchard all sound wild af. i'm less acquainted with kross outside of bloodsport, but him/dirty dickstrings with this gimmick oughtta fuckin' rip too, considering.

i've already blown a trial, but this just reinforces that i should see about subbing in the new year, because there's just way too much good poo poo.

I am almost exactly curious enough to see how loving awful SHLAK-Necro is going to be to watch it live, but since it's in the middle of Two Nights of WrestleKingdom, I'll probably FFWD past it when I watch it on demand.

Because that match is going to be the dirt loving worst.

ngl, i've come around on shlak since finding out that he is (probably??) not a nazi. he feels like he would have been right at home in necro's generation of deathmatch guys, and i have a soft spot for that era. also, him trying to do technical poo poo is kind of charming to me.

over the hill, post-red hat necro is a harder sell, though, unfortunately.......

My fave Shlak moment was when Effy punched him in the face with a spiked jacket.

I can't really say he's my fave deathmatch wrestler but he's got a fun name to chant. I chant it when I'm pooping. it helps.

Remember when Necro said he'd give up the deathmatch stuff in a few years all knowing like on Colt's podcast? We should have realized he was big ol dummy then.

if this ends up with loads of new promotions becoming part of IWTV and better video quality: great

If this ends up with current IWTV promotions moving their premium content away from IWTV: less great.
