I like Blake Christian but I'm kinda underwhelmed by this? He basically does the Ospreay thing, except Ospreay is just a lot better at it than him cause it's his thing. I'd much rather see Ospreay vs Nick Gage.

I think it could be great. It’s pretty clear that Blake is hungry and determined, and if he can get a wrestler who can elevate him and maybe obscure some of his flaws I think we will see the making of a new star.

I've got to imagine that he'll be AEW bound eventually. I kind of thought Janela was alluding to that after their match however long ago, leading up to the Dynamite premiere and just letting Deppen marinate a bit more on the indies. Depending on how the rest of his Mania week shapes up, he'll definitely be on someone's radar if he isn't already.

They keep teasing Ospreay v. Blake so much on commentary that it makes me think it'll be something else. Mainly because I also want Ospreay vs. Nick Gage, but Ospreay v. Blake would rule too.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

How much was the Mania show package on Fite last year, and does it include VOD for the shows?

I think Ospreay also wants to feel like he helped put a guy on the map. It seemed that way with some of the Australian guys he worked with at least.

Last year's was $99.99 and I'm 99% sure that includes VOD because there were times last year (or maybe 2018 or both years tbh) where the live feed hosed up. I wanna say something hosed up bad last year, but I can't remember what it was. Might've been the first Spring Break show? Whatever it was, I was able to watch it the next day when they fixed it.

That's a good point and it's clearly something Ospreay would want since he's not going to come over for Mania weekend just to take a match he doesn't want.

The Stardom show was definitely an unmitigated disaster live. I think they lost the whole feed on two or three separate occasions and even the VOD was jacked up. Fite is prone to loving up so I wouldn't be shocked if the collective shows had similar issues.

turn it all around

Apparently at a Waxahachie Faith Wrestling show over the weekend, an apparently known pedophile was booked. When he was called out in the locker room by another wrestler, the pedophile pulled a gun on the dude:

https://twitter.com/KeithBlalockPW/status/1224139215845445633

The pedophile is Stryker Fyre whose name turns up like, zero results for anything. I thought I saw his real name mentioned on one of the Facebook posts from the promotion about this but I'm not seeing it now, so it was either removed or I imagined it/saw it somewhere else and can't remember.

No injuries or anything were reported, so it doesn't sound like the guy did anything more than pull the gun out thankfully.

The promotion, of course, offered up zero accountability and even tried to talk it back a little bit by noting that the gun was an air soft gun. If I'm reading the responses correctly, it sounds like they also swore that this person would never work with them once before this incident.

Waxahachie Faith Wrestling on Facebook posted:

First of all sorry for the situation that happened at waxahachie Faith wrestling last night. I am glad not one got hurt. Yes someone did pull a gun out. In locker room last night it was a airsoft gun, but real gun or not we don't condone that at waxahachie Faith wrestling, as of this day foward we will not be doing business with that person. Our company is based on being a Christian with Christian values. To anyone that wasn't at show please if you need now what happened contact us. Third everyone got paid. Pastor Ledbetter was there and this all happened when he was giving a testimony so we feel the devil was at work. So we are going to put more shows on in the future but safety is first and we won't let the devil win. Thank you and God bless

Wrestling is fuckin' wild.

What happened? I've seen Takeda got hosed up on a knife board and Veidt loving up Takeda with a weapon, and I'm guessing the answer is they went to the second part to finish because of the first part.

Ever since Kasai and Numazawa introduced the razor blade board onto the scene I've kind of low-key thought that straight blades is probably where you want to draw the line in deathmatch gimmicks because that just looks like a life-threatening injury waiting to happen.

Takeda is out for at least a month of wrestling with 40 stitches on his back and wrist

also regarding the spring break show i believe they added a lot more shows, some of which aren't wrestling or normal wrestling with even a ring so the Spring Break bundle might cost more and there might be multiple on Fite

Pretty much straight away. I live in the UK and can watch AEW shows on FITE both live and within hours of them finishing in the US.
