All it comes down to is this: I feel like shit, but look great.
Krueger in his brief face run against Bo-Bo Dallas used to even do the Superfly Hulk up of "HOO HOO HOO"

It was cool.

Do PWG put stuff on VOD in a timely fashion? I'd like to start watching but I really really don't want to buy physical DVDs, for shelf space reasons if nothing else

shows are available for VOD when the next one is released on DVD. So like you couldn't buy Untitled II digitally until the Black Cole Sun dropped, and you won't be able to download Black Cole Sun until From Out of Nowhere comes out.

Last I read, Uhaa's return to DG last month was only to finish out the last dates on his contract, because he was already signed to NXT. I think he only had like 3-4 aired shows and the rest were house show. I'm really looking forward to seeing his farewell match against BxB Hulk, apparently it gets a good half hour or so.

his sendoff after the match may have been longer than the match itself. It was heartwarming

I thought everything was cool and he had a direct path to NXT. Then February 10th someone who talked to him told me there was a hold up. Uhaa was going to have physically meet with WWE as Dragon Gate still had him contracted for 2 more years. Either WWE and DG came to an agreement or DG granted him his release anyway. 3 weeks ago it was viewed as this massive hold up.

Sasha Banks can use her clout!

Things have kind of changed in NXT since Ricochet's last tryout. I explained it about six months ago but has kind of come to pass even watching NXT TV. When Itami, Steen and Balor were signed there was a formal edict from Triple H to NXT staff that outside experience - indies and Japan matters. DeMott for example can longer do his "you ain't nothing" drill sargent act to Pro Wrestlers trying out or at least not to the same degree

The difference is Ricochet supposedly put some official's noses out of joint when NXT wrestlers marked the gently caress out for him when he walked into the Performance Centre the reaction came from both those with from Pro Wrestling backgrounds and trainees from other fields who were shown footage of him. Ricochet kind of went "viral" in NXT. It was 2014 NXT Wrestlers can just Youtube him on their phones. Ricochet's act is obviously very immediate. A year on from that Uhaa is coming in with pretty much a free passage and tonnes of goodwill from everyone. Between the two I know there's a difference in size but things are far less toxic for Pro Wrestlers these days.

i mean, they have to do it in the commentary because they do it in the booking. if you're going to book a guy who was the #1 guy in a national promotion in an even feud with Tyler Breeze you can't exactly have the commentary say "this feud is ludicrous Itami is a superstar and breeze is nobody"
