Michael Elgin's fall from grace has been quite the ride. Didn't the sneaking across the canadian border as champion the beginning of it?

Michael Elgin needs to be a subject of a Crime In Sports episode at some point.

Personally I shoplift small poo poo all the time because like, who cares it's 5-20 dollars, it's loving ludicrous the max penalty is 5 years there, Christ.

Yeah but at the same time gently caress Michael Elgin, it would be very funny if he had to do 5 years in a Japanese prison for anything at all.

I was wondering why all these tweets about Michael Elgin were in the Chris Regal thread and now I understand why, Mr. Elgin has been framed and defamed yet again! https://twitter.com/MichaelElgin25/status/1548583050421968898

So basically, the police told him to leave the country and not come back and they would drop the charges, right?

So is it time for Michael Elgin to control his narrative or, staggering to think about, is CYN too big league for him at this point?

I can see CYN passing cause while they probably have no problem with the sex pest Stuff Elgin has a big rep of just not being liked in locker rooms so I can seem the skipping just cause of that

The Nexus invasion was cool because it was a bunch of already known young up and comers showing up unannounced and completely by surprise, destroying everything and laying waste to Cena in the process. When Retribution did it, it was a bunch of people given stupid names that weren't threatening at all.

It's funny because Nexus was full of really bad talent but had a chance (until it was booked into oblivion within weeks) because it was fresh and new. Meanwhile they had so much good talent at their disposal for Retribution and it never had a chance. Not that the Retribution invasion would have worked even if it was done in 2010.

The nexus invasion got Bryan Danielson “fired” which was endlessly funny to me.

According to Tama Tonga he got out of his NJPW contract early by saying he wanted to spend time at home with his son, and then showed up in Japan again a few months later. Impact he got cut from because he was arrested for violating a restraining order ROH something to do with baseball? NOAH because he stole protein powder

Elgin was never actually cut from TNA, they kept him under contract the whole time just never used him. He's suing for that.

I was always amused that for a guy his size how thin his skin is. There was one G1 press conference where ZSJ commented on the fit of Elgin's suit and all Elgin could respond with was a weakly delivered "Well you used to wash my clothes as a young boy". It's funny how very different their careers have turned out.

I'm just glad we don't need to hear anyone pretend he's a good wrestler anymore. Just the definition of mid. A moveset of power moves while neither being big enough to look like a monster or small enough to look like some freak of nature. All while working with some of the best talent in the world.

Honestly the best way to describe Elgin is that he has a career where he's allowed to lie about his height and decided on 5'11''
