The second one is my favorite because he reads off the entries on the invoice including the Refreshments section.

Of course he would be british :(

Hey if he'd only made one video his channel would only get 600 views but with the same video 3 times he can get 1800 views instead. That's just smart maths

Uglier on the inside.

i think my favorite part is him obviously working himself up into a frenzy

video 1 was him saying "im not a wwe lover/hater, im not an aew lover/hater"

video 2 he started reading everything off the paper (obviously not googling anything) and saying how jim cornette had been asking if they were getting paid

video 3 is just him flat out angrily calling aew a "poo indie promotion" and failing to spell payroll correctly.

its art, really

People say that hes a psychopath for crying and then immediately going back to murder Jimmy, but I'd like to think this is the character regretting what he's had to do, and regretting that he cant stop now. He knows that he's got to keep going and it wont end here.

This is just amazing storytelling

When I read the title I thought it was a sarcastic reference to Tropic Thunder and then realised that movie is 13 years old and is now what would be a very old reference. Turns out it was being played dead straight anyway.

everyone knows the only way to tell a story in wrestling is to look directly into the camera say "what have I become" and then look at your hands.

As far as draws go there's PAC who might be willing to take a date to stay ring fit & and uhhhhh Grado if you're in Glasgow? There's probably a number of guys like Gabriel Kidd out there who could come on leaps & bounds with the right training (ie not being trained by a sexual abuser) but in the current environment, without much in the way of veterans to work with & learn from? I don't see it. There's some promising guys but the WWE really did a number on the scene as far as removing an entire generation that newcomers would work with & thus learn from.

Anyway, I liked their followup tweet when challenged to name them

There's also Aussie Open, Cara Noir and Millie McKenzie all kicking about and I'm nowhere near a BritWres expert so there's definitely gonna be more people around their level. There's not really any big names right now apart from PAC and not enough to sustain a whole ton of promotions but it's not like it would be impossible for someone to run a good show.

Kidd got picked up by NJPW. He's at the LA dojo being trained by Shibata and judging by his G1 opener matches he is coming along really well.


Last few times I went to an indie I was not overly impressed with the new crop of talent.

I know, that's what I meant. Kidd has come on by leaps & bounds since getting "stuck" in Japan during the pandemic. If other wrestlers could find themselves in a similar situation (like Akira Francesco has gone from Italy to living in the All Japan dojo & has really come on, whereas Danny Jones had a fun tour in January & then went back home & has been unable to do anything. Meanwhile Akira has 49 matches under his belt, there's only 5 dudes in AJPW with more appearances this year, has had title challenges & honestly is in with a shout for Most Improved. Hell, even Martin Kirby improved in the time he spent with Dragon Gate last year & he's a veteran, shame he retired) then they'd benefit similarly. Training in the UK is very ad-hoc compared to dojo life & while that's not for everyone, it has a track record & not just one or two companies.
