It's like goldy or bronzy, but made of iron.


Sky is a very competent wrestler without being spectacular. he's a confident talker without being an electrifying promo. He seems like an all round nice dude and easy to work with. All of which is a roundabout way of saying I don't find him interesting at all.

SCU had a good run as champs with one very hot angle but since then the titles have been on fire so Kaz & Sky can't help but look weak in comparison.

agreed. her catchphrase is a wee bit lame imo, so the promo was already an improvement not having to build to her saying Im That Bitch at the end

At the risk of not being chill enough: SoCal Uncensored was originally the name of a website that covered indie professional wrestling in Southern California, and given that it was established in like 2001 when wrestling was all about being edgy, they were UNCENSORED in their thoughts about who was getting pushed in WCW or something. Here is their landing page's essay from the earliest Wayback Machine capture:

quote:

Uncensored. You hear that word so much, but is it ever really true? MTV Uncensored covered boobies with black outs and bleeped bad words. DDP could say "poo poo" on WCW Live all he wanted to. When someone said it in the chat room, they were booted. I’m sick of censoring the uncensored. Steve is sick of not having a place to chat with SoCal fans. So, myself, the voice, and Steve, the talent, put our heads together.

SocalUncensored.com is our love child (OK OK OK, so it isn’t our love child, but it’s probably the bastard son of some chick we double-teamed). A totally uncensored web site, all the way around. Your opinions, as well as ours, will be HEARD! No moving posts to a special board, no bullshit censoring in our chat room, and no endless shilling of ourselves as heroes. We are here for YOU, the Socal fan. If it has to do with wrestling and California, prepare to see it here. WWF, WCW, ECW or indy, this WILL be the place to talk about it freely.

Free expression: it’s not a privilege, its a loving right. You don’t have to kiss rear end to avoid being censored. All we ask is you don’t act like an rear end in a top hat, or you will be treated like an rear end in a top hat. As for the workers reading this, don’t worry. I am not Dave Meltzer. This is not a dirt sheet. If I caught Samoa Joe in the back of his car banging three chicks and a donkey at the same time, you would not hear about it on this site. If Sabu signs a WWF deal, and wants it kept quiet, it will NOT be here.

This is not a place to expose the business. The other sites do enough of it already. By the way, don’t be a pussy. Stand behind what you say. If you are a worker and you want to tell-all on our message board or chat room, have the balls to say who you are. We may or may not agree with you, but you have the right to say it. That goes for fans too.

Welcome to SocalUncensored.com. We are not a news site. We do not put ourselves over as better than anyone else. We are not Socal-Wrestling.com or CAwrestling.com (no diss to either site. They’re great sites. I’m just saying this is something totally different). SocalUncensored.com is here for you, the fans, the workers and the lovers of wrestling in Southern California and around the world.
Ya jack?
Daniels and Kazarian were two of the big names in this era of indie wrestling in California, and about a decade ago they started tagging in TNA and later in Ring of Honor and elsewhere. They were part of other stables and had other tag team names that the eventually shed, either because those promotions owned the names or they just got sick of them, I'm honestly not sure.

About five years ago they added Scorpio Sky to their team and started calling themselves SoCal Uncensored because all three wrestlers had come up in the scene covered by the website.

This evolved into them being SoCal loving, Everywhere Else Hating heels, which quickly evolved into them getting pops for yelling "SCU" and declaring every place outside of SoCal the worst place they have ever been. By the time AEW started, so many of the signifiers that had accumulated over 10-20 years really didn't make much sense, from the name to Christopher Daniels still having remnants of his old cult leader "Fallen Angel" and militaristic "Ring General" gimmicks worked into his ring gear/move names. I can see why it's confusing, like watching comedy Rock & Sock Connection promos in 2000.

"Oh, that's goofy family man Mick Foley, who wrote a best-selling memoir. He's wearing a leather bondage mask, a dress shirt and tie, sweatpants, and a sock on his hand. He's called Mankind because he was a Hannibal Lecter style serial killer a few years ago. Don't worry about it!"

Does anyone else think the pinnacle vs inner circle feud is a metaphor? Like the whole thing is MJF and the boys just want to be cool wrestlers and have good matches like actual wrestling shows do but Jericho keeps injecting his idiotic Vincebrained nonsense into everything and ruining it??? Like maybe MJF is tony khan trying to save aew from certain individuals with dumb neck tattoos who want the show to be idiotic because they just want to go back to the slop they came up in??? And only the fans on PSTJP are smart enough to see it? He's booking to us, folks. Watch the symbols.

Jade seems to be in a holding pattern until Britt becomes the new champ. It seems strange that someone with Jade's personality and success hasn't said "I want this goddamn title right now and none of you can beat me" etc. I imagine that will happen when Britt wins.

Like I said, it's just a sort of weird acumulation of stuff over years and years. If you were following Christopher Daniels since the early RoH days you're familiar with all of the component parts slowing added over time, but if you're coming in at AEW it's just a bizarre bricolage that I'm not really sure they made any effort to explain.

The abs helped in child birth. Just flexing the right way shoots the baby out like a drat canon. No one ever tried it before Jade, she's a genius.

Honestly how much do you need to explain to get CD enough to enjoy his matches? As someone who's only experience with him before AEW was appeltini gifs, his character is clear enough. Sure I'm probably missing some really deep lore, but he has an ankh tattoo so the fallen angel nickname just tells me he was a goth or teater kid earlier in his life.
