Oh, he’s been a complete poo poo about sexual harassment issues. No doubt at all. Given NJPW’s track record I’d bet he’s not gonna have to answer for that, either.

Prestige in Portland last night was a wild show; Taya Valkyrie was in a deathmatch and at the end was attacked by a masked woman who hosed her over to give Taya’s opponent the win and then unmasked to reveal that she was Athena and the place POPPED.

BUSSY v Paxxx Americana was sloppy fun

Malakai Black v Davey Richards owned and Brody King appeared at the end

and good ol’ Filthy Tom showed up to make Alex Shelley v Dalton Castle a three-way title match.

The show was at a concert venue called the Roseland (which is TRASH) but the next one is gonna be at an armory which is worse. Wrestling, y’all.

I was kind of astounded by the unannounced appearances (including Alex Zayne too) for what’s still a relatively unestablished indie. This is not a complaint.

Hey fellow Prestige going goons.
That was my first live wrestling show in 2~ years. Previous was NXT TakeOver Portland.
Went with a few friends and my 72 year old father-in-law who was tossed like 6 feet by Brody King in the dark. Security came by and told us it was going to "get wild" over here and make sure we weren't in the aisle. Think Brody got lost on the way because he somehow ended up between me and my father-in-law and jumping over the chair in front of us. When the lights came back up the old man had disappeared. Show was a lot of fun and even though he was tossed into another aisle with his hat going a whole other direction he still wants to see more. Luckily he wasn't too sore this morning and even texted me "Brody King is 6'5" 285 pounds!"
Effy liked my Kris Statlander shirt and told a story about her eating way too much candy. I had never seen an Effy match before but was familiar with his name. His wild eyes sold me on everything and I want to see more.
Danhausen cursed me, it was probably suppose to be me taking the Brody bump.
We will probably end up at those April/May shows.
Was very happy with the crowd not being dicks to any of the wrestlers.

edit - What is Alex Zaynes deal? I am mostly familiar with WWE, AEW, New Japan, and a handful of indie wrestlers from lurking the wrestling threads. I recognized almost every name on the card but his. He got a big reaction and is the sauce boss?

I saw the aftermath of Brody and your father-in-law and figured that’s what happened, glad he’s ok and had fun though. Zayne was gaining momentum as a flip and dive guy pre-pandemic and got picked up by NXT for 6 months before getting released. At the first Roseland show he won two matches in one night (a singles match filling in for Tony Deppen, whose flight was delayed and a six man scramble.) During the scramble he did a running tope off the balcony and think that made people remember him the last couple years. He’s called Sayce because he likes Taco Bell fire sauce.

Also, somewhat notable, but Levi Cooper (fka Tucker of Heavy Machinery) popped up in the tag scramble in what I think was his first post WWE release match. He’s dropped a lot of weight and looked pretty good.

Thanks for the Zayne information. I enjoyed what he did. If he was on NXT or 205live NXT LEVEL UP! mid to late 2019 I think I had checked out at that point and probably missed him.
I saw Tucker there too and pointed him out to the father-in-law who happened to golf with him a couple years back. I agree that he looked way more trim than ever before.
I recognized Cody Chung I think from AEW pandemic Darks?
Didn't recognize Davey Richards at first and then like 4 minutes into the match leaned over to my friends and asked "Is that the guy confused by cell phones and technology?" They weren't sure but did confirm he made a sexy tape for his wife. Watching the dudes thigh turn from normal to pink to purple with how much Malakai was kicking him. Was wild.
I have also only been to a handful of non WWE shows but the modified chants for cleaning up after the hardcore tag team match was cracking me up. Don't know if that is common but never heard it at any of the DOA or Hoodslam shows I went too.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

He was one of the most bizarre WWE signings ever because he's everything they didn't want - he was small, much older than he appears, known for stupid bumps, balcony dives, flips, and when he did a running 630 over the top rope through a table.

You're right about all of that except Zayne isn't small at all. He's like a legit 6'1. When I first found out how old he was I was shocked because he doesn't look or move like a 35 something flippy dude.

He rules though and seeing him live is always a treat.

I wouldn't put it past Rumble to throw money at this. I don't think anyone else mentioned would though. Control Your Narrative is still one of the worst names for a wrestling promotion/thing ever though.

Yeah, "CYN is backed by lots of right wing political names and I think Trump may even be involved and every single wrestler who has been cancelled or derided is part of it" just feels way too on the nose to be real.

Then again reality's been doing that a lot lately.

I like how the evidence they point to that indicates Trump is involved is that... they have a lot of shows booked in New Jersey?

And they say that the truth, the story is that they're tired of their narrative being controlled, they've got tears in their eyes, they want to prove Vince wrong, and I'm like, come on, come on now, Vince? He's a good guy, I shaved his head, he's always been a friend, but they say he's a fake friend! A fake friend, can you believe that? They say they trusted him and he betrayed them, I know what it's like to be betrayed, it's not fun, folks, it's not fun, and so I look them in the eye, and I say, what do you need, and they say they just need my endorsement, so I'm here to say that I, president Donald Trump, officially endorse The Narrative, which you can find... somewhere."

I am speaking more generally, there's enough rumors about it that seem like they might have some basis so I think someone just took those and expanded on it with a bunch of goofy stuff. The Rumble thing is getting repeated a bunch by people who might know more than I do but I didn't see it before this post.

Also if you remember the original 2020 GCW vs GCW controversy I decided to catch up on our friends at Generation Championship Wrestling and they are still doing whatever it is they do.
