Gresham is legitimately one of the best technical wrestlers in the last 15 years, just put him in a match

e: Ever. He's up there with Malenko, Angle, Danielson, and Zack Sabre Jr

He's on shows nobody outside of the hardest of the hardcore watch. He also wrestles a style that doesn't make you immediately go wow the way a hoss hurling somebody or a flyer doing a crazy move does. I am completely sure that given time AEW could make him a star but he's not going to come in shining the way ZSJ would due to ZSJ being a top guy in NJPW for like 5 years. Anyway they are clearly trying to do something with Lee Johnson and he seems like a cool wrestler so push Lee Johnson

Right nothing like supporting a claim to the Spanish throne with a guy who died almost a 100 years ago. Like who do you support the bloodline died out in 1936.

Alternate branch of the Spanish monarchy that evertime the Spanish monarchy has looked weak leads to them trying to put a member of that family on the throne. The current family the Bourbons are considered too corrupted by liberal democratic ideas by Carlists but no one cares about them anymore.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

All that Carlist/pro-monarchist nonsense sounds insane and incoherent but actually seems like a more honest version of the whole spirit behind "conservatism" and "traditionalism". Its just people mad at change and other people getting rights. Even if that change happened like 100 years before they were born.

"fervent anti-zionist" stands out though.

I think French monarchists are funnier than the Carlists by a hair, mainly because there's three different groups of them bickering over a crown that doesn't even exist anymore. At least Spain has a king.

The best fact about the Carlists was that at some point in the Franco years the claimant was the Duke of Parma. Who by the early 70s had turned into a Titoist (the communist leader of Yugoslavia) & he got big into the idea of worker self-management of industries & so forth. Which, inevitably caused another schism in the Carlist movement between the Legitimists & the arch-conservative reactionaries.

all I remember about Carlism is that Franco forcibly merged the Civil War era Carlists with the Falange, to which the Carlist pretender to the throne was extremely pissed off and burned most of hIs bridges with Franco

anyway, orthodox Carlism is far-right monarchism and therefore extremely dumb

I have such a soft spot for American monarchists because it never existed but they really want it, right down to some of them saying the line of monarchy should be traced back to George Washington and that the current King should be King Richard Washington of Texas.

Yeah Franco was afraid that Juan Carlos Bourbon was too liberal and was afraid too make him his heir despite most of Francos supporters wanted the monarchy back. Then Franco died Juan Carlos ascended the throne and immediately declared a republic so gently caress you Franco.
