Watching Dark, I always get a kick out of how over the top Brandon Cutler's entrance is compared to his kayfabe power level. Who else has such a disproportionate entrance compared to how they're portrayed? Besides like, Eva Marie, where that's the joke.

Very much not twins but the Killer Bees in the 80s used an early variant of Twin Magic when they were masked.

Goto’s entrance is pretty understated I thought? Unless you mean how epic his theme sounds.

My favourite is the Tate twins for this With dreams of making a huge splash in the wrestling business, both Brandon and Brent seem to be in good hands wrestling for Ring of Honor and Global Force Wrestling.

Also, it looks like OVW's basically a wrestling school, which also instructs trainees in peripheral stuff like production and admin, which I guess is actually a pretty good thing.

davidbix posted:Al Snow, in spite of him being such a miserable person, also deserves some level of props for actually getting OVW full accreditation as a trade school, with the ability for students to get financial aid, etc. It makes sense as well. OVW will, at best, be a talent farm for much bigger organisations (they were a development territory for both the WWE and TNA after all), that people pass through on their way up, so why not give those people a chance to train in backstage roles? If their in-ring days are cut short, they'll still have something that they can fall back on.

Thankfully OVW is so lovely at what it does now we don't have to worry about very many of those people doing much of anything.

(If someone asked me which school was best for getting its students TV-ready, I'd say Create A Pro, because MJF, Statlander, Caster, and Bear Country are all so drat polished relative to their experience level. And Wrestle Pro, which is affiliated, is right up there, too.)

I have a friend who wrestled as a jobber in ovw in the mid 90's and he would always tell me how good Doug Basham and Nick Dinsmore were and one day they would be on raw and i was always like ok, whatever but then they were

In particular, Doug was an incredible total package: He could work his rear end off, he had an incredible mix of great fundamentals, Tennessee style funkyness, and creativity, he had a great physique, he had a unique look, and he was a great promo. You totally get why he's in that "quit the business after being let go from WWE" group from that era, because if he can't make it, then why bother? The thing that everyone misses about why 1999-2002 OVW was SUCH superstar factory is that the developmental talent had a half dozen incredibly solid veteran hands working up and down the card with them. (Not to mention Kanyon, Val Venis, and others making quick stops in OVW to help guys develop.) Taking them out of the equation changed EVERYTHING. (Also: Doug Basham vs. Mark Jindrak from a 2005 episode of Velocity is legit one of the best random assed B-show matches you'll ever see.)

The thing I liked about Eric Angle was that if you glanced at him quickly enough, for sure he could pass as Kurt. Which you could excuse as a heat of the moment sort of thing. You look at him for more than two seconds and you were like... hang on...  Now you just make that face when looking through his criminal history.

Why did AEW keep the dumb Fyter Fest name for a second year? The name and logo being references to Fyre Festival were already dated by the time of the first event. Was it a trademark thing?
