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.

Nick Aldis was the mystery partner. Did the real mystery partner fall through?

It's his own fault for skipping town after a Vancouver indie booked him for a birthday bash show on the same night and he had to cancel for Defy.

He’s a singularity of dullness, he was never meant to be a mystery partner but every time someone tried to put his name to paper it just slipped out of their brain.

Hellarious!
Nobody said the mystery had to be “WHO the partner is,” so they went with “WHY is this the partner.”

People freaking out about a year back about indie mystery surprises being Marty Scurll when the real fear is you might be forced through a Nick Aldis match.

I had to sit through a Nick Aldis match once and as someone who generally finds something to enjoy in any live lovely indie event regardless of how bad the wrestling is it stands out as the most boring match I’ve ever been subjected to in person.

The kind of amazing thing about Aldis is after his hysterical debut in TNA he actually seemed to eventually become at least passable by TNA standards (I realize this is not saying much) and benefitting from having Doug Williams in there to cover for him but holy hell he is now like... aggressively bland. It's really something.

I've only seen Nick Aldis once live and that was at All In. The only reason I was excited to see him is that a friend of mine (https://diegosanjorge.bandcamp.com/music) played guitar for his theme song (Gilded Warrior) and I was so excited to send him a video of the crowd reacting to his music. But then his match happened and it was boring as gently caress (I don't know if that was his fault or Cody's or if the both of them together just have a poo poo match)

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin


I'm still not sure if I'll be able to be there live, but this seems like a stacked show so far and the last live event was amazing. I got to high-five Willow Nightingale, can't beat that.

Good news if you were worried Nick Aldis might be coming to your favorite promotion.

Brandon Oliver continues to impress, I def reccomend checking out his match at GCW Wasted Time. Was a little lengthy but def the match of the night.

Mad Man Pondo needs to retire. He's so overweight he cant really give or take any wrestling moves and even Sawyer Wreck's incredible talent couldn't carry him because he can't wrestle, he can only kinda waddle around and do the sawblade/stapler gimmick.

I will say that Giant Tiger is funny enough that he could do promos and skits that were still funny and not offensive. The one where he invades Twiggy's house, steals his sweater and then leaves through the window and some others are just very weird and funny.
