what no those are almost as bad as WOOO during chops or the too sweet on a nearfall

I hope you get to hear lots of lighthearted, funny chirps and generally positive reactions and unique chants! always rules when a crowd can get on top of something totally out of the blue.

You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.

Shiho is cool! He only had 2 dates on that US tour and I saw him at his other one. He runs Pro Wrestling Society out of Seoul, which is pretty decent (if extremely budget) and it has English commentary.

Saw someone brought up being disappointed that Smart Mark Sterling isn't a shoot lawyer on the side and made me realize that Pittsburgh Local staple David Lawless is https://www.pwmania.com/legal-lariatsthe-david-lawless-story

Something about Pittsburgh wrestlers having shoot jobs that fit their gimmick

Though what's even funnier at MV Young's training school promotion, he has added to the lawyer gimmick by taking a bunch "I Think You Should Leave" bits to him and his Dangerous Nights Crew

RIP my favorite tag team, State of Emergency. They had a hell of a run.

At least it'll probably lead to both getting singles belts down the line. Though I wonder if they'll still show up in Defy; the US and Canada have different kayfabes.

If you haven't been following Defy, Christopher Daniels might have the coolest storyline on the indies. During the pandemic, the Defy belt was stuck in Canada with Randy Myers, so Daniels and Swerve fought over the interim belt, and Schaff had dug up the old PNW Heavyweight title to defend as a rogue belt. When Randy returned, they had a ladder match with Randy, Swerve, Daniels, Schaff, and former champions Artemis Spencer and Davey Richards to determine the true champion. Swerve won, but during the match Judas Icarus & Travis Williams (Sinner & Saint) attacked Randy and pulled him to the back, and nobody really knew why. They kept harassing Randy for months, and Evan Rivers also debuted to join them.

Last month when Nick Wayne beat Swerve for the belt, Swerve promised that Nick's first AEW match in July would be against him, and Swerve is moving on from Defy now. But earlier on the show, Randy had a 3v1 Loser-Leaves-Defy gauntlet match against all 3 of Sinner & Saint. Randy fought through Judas and Evan, but then instead of Travis, the third who came out was Christopher Daniels, who revealed himself as the mastermind behind Sinner & Saint (which is now a stable), and beat Randy to kick him out of Defy. The other part of that is, Defy has a working relationship with AEW, and Daniels is head of Talent Relations, so he had a hand in signing both Swerve and Nick Wayne. So between those two and Randy, Daniels has been playing 4D chess to gradually remove every other top contender for the Defy belt.

I highly doubt they'd ever kayfabe this, but it'd be fun if they implied he was the whistleblower on Davey Richards to get rid of him too.

Two interesting retirements in the last month, Terra Calaway and Kimberlee. I always liked Terra's last of the dinosaurs gimmick, and she retired while she was still scheduled for a few matches. Kimberlee was pretty much the first woman to win a major indys main title with her Chikara Grand Championship run which happened during that period of WWE refusing to sign women wrestlers who had previously done intergender matches.

This sounds really fun. Daniels being behind a group called Sinmer & Saint just seems right.

Both will be sorely missed. Particularly, I hope Kimber Lee finds some peace.

I still rock my dropkick depression shirt whenever I can. I somehow doubt Terra is completely out of the wrestling game.

Is there a cheaper way to watch Defy shows? I just checked their site to see where I could watch their shows and their streaming service is $17 a month. That seems insane. Do they stream anywhere else?

They used to be on Fite & IWTV, but they went freelance after last October. Unfortunately that seems to be the only way to get it legitimately right now, but their other stuff shows up on VK and Youku sometimes. The Realest is 100% worth watching.

But yeah, the monthly fee feels way too high for the amount of content they produce, and I hope they rethink that. But you can get a 7-day free trial that gives you access to everything if you want to binge watch.
