KungFu Grip posted:Gill is sometimes one of the weakest non wrestling parts of a GCW show. i much rather have two drunk wrestlers shooting the poo poo and marking out than him sometimes. the last GCW Japan shows were real bad because they were mixing up Japanese dudes left and right and at some point just not naming the one guy in the match. Gill's a nice guy but he only works in promotions that aren't meant to be taken seriously. JCW was perfect for him.

I also only became aware of the existence of 2 Steve Regals because in the Crime in Sports episode about Buck Zumhofe, James mentions a match between Buck and Steve Regal, who he describes as "an annoying little gently caress that I can't stand" and was really confused until the Jake the Snake episode like a year or so later when Steve Regal comes up again and he clarifies that it's the AWA Steve Regal that he hates and not William Regal

I seem to remember reading that Prince William was in the news for something around the time of Regal's re-signing and they just went with that.

The idea that WWE doesn't have a costume department that takes care of everyone's gear for them is mind blowing to me. Especially when they're doing shows out of the same building every show.

Costuming is a part of the industry that I think is really overlooked in general, and yeah it should be centralized in each company both for quality/consistency control and to prevent things like this from happening. Outside of the indies, at least. Separately I think it's insane that jobber-rear end Brandon Cutler has incredible, professional, polished looking gear but Brodie Lee, successful cult leader, looks like he taped four garbage bags together.

Apart from washing, don’t they have lockers at the performance center to keep their gear in?

She should make some for Brodie then! Hire her, coward Tony! She does great work! Maybe it's my own hangup but I've always felt that gear (along with entrances) is a direct representation of how much I should care about a performer, and how much the company cares about their presentation. There are exceptions (Austin is a big one) but I think it's a relatively easy way for a performer to distinguish themselves and should be taken seriously.

A waistcoat and trunks was good enough for Austin and that’s why it’s also good enough for future HOF GOAT candidate Adam Page

At least as recently as 2017, WWE had a seamstress, because she said she wanted Matt Hardy dead on Twitter. There was also Sandra Gray at least as recently as 2015, but she may have retired. Also, I wouldn't be shocked if they just fired them at some point. But also, I think Shotzi was just continuing to use her indie gear, or at least the helmet. It probably wouldn't be something they could rig up in a few hours.
