D.N. Nation posted:they even made (lovely) shirts! That's another question, is there any other instance of merchandise acting as a red herring in the same way the Y2AJ shirts did? It seemed ridiculous that WWE would make merch for a team that would only last a matter of weeks, but, well.

Do they actually stock their shirts or just have them printed on demand?

I mean, it was an event to honor an actual dead person he was presumably friends with. And where is this list and when did I say this should be at the top?

Defenestrategy posted:Tell me the story of ICW[Insane Championship Wrestling] that an out of date and short wikipedia entry wouldn't give me. I see clips on youtube every now and again with Grado and Joe Hendry and it looks really really fun and good. They were fun before the partnership with WWE. I used to like Mikey Whiplash a lot before #SpeakingOut, and they had some fun folks in the top part of the card. But they kept losing people to western promotions, like Grado, Drew McIntyre, and Joe Hendry. It looked like Lionheart was going to be their new top guy....then he killed himself.

The real reason is the Undertaker is an absolutely awful public speaker and didn't want to ruin the moment. This is why he won't allow any recording of his one DEADman shows.

Has there ever been a highly-rated (4 stars or above) pre-show match? Something that makes you think you got your money's worth even before the actual show has even started.

AEW Revolution 2022's Buy In ended with a House of Black vs. Death Triangle w/ERICK REDBEARD trios match that got ****1/4 I thought the Forbidden Door Buy In match with Swerve In Our Glory vs Despy & Kanemaru got **** stars but it only got ***1/2 Alaois fucked around with this message at 03:40 on Feb 26, 2023 |

And to be clear, "so dedicated to your cartoony wrestling gimmick you don't want to break character in public until you retire, even when people you are close to die" is actually pretty high on the list of Very Dumb But Not Actively Harmful things to knock Undertaker for. Him retiring and then breaking character a lot was the bit I didn't think was a big deal. Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 13:23 on Feb 26, 2023 |

Not sure what it was rated (if at all) but I saw Psicosis v Steven Regal open a Nitro in like 1996 and it slayed. Clips from it ended up in the intro video to WCW vs The World.

I think there was a period in 2017 where The Usos and New Day would have pre-shows tag matches that would be better than anything on the main card.

Danielson vs Minoru Suzuki was technically on a webcast preshow to an episode of Rampage and was one of the best matches of the year (I think Dave gave it 4.75)
