I assume this isn't 2k20 but it would probably fit right in.

Was Biff good out in the wild? I’ve only seen a couple of his NXT matches that seemed restrained, but he seems to be pals with a bunch of dudes I enjoy.

Biff was pretty good in PWG. Just as he started to hit his stride, WWE poached a handful of PWG regulars, so he never really got to shine as much as he could've. You see little glimpses of his indie self in NXT/205 Live matches where he is just a stiff wild madman who is willing to kill himself as long as he can kill his opponent too. i can't speak for his non-PWG work, but i assume much of the same.

the real tragedy is that he never got to have his match vs. Super Dragon bc Dragon got injured in his last match, which was pretty darn good. if Biff got let loose i bet he'd be a bit more rounded and still as crazy, so hopefully he does leave soon!

Yeah, I think someone here the last time this poo poo spurred up suggested the idea of Dom just being a big dude who can do flips and be very arrogant about it. Feels like he's been in NXT for 6 years and they still have no idea what to do with him (i mean outside of the stupid nationalist poo poo).

Turns out Gabe is an even bigger rear end in a top hat than previously thought. David Starr and Brian Cage are going off on him

Popping on the Gabe train, he's seemingly always been like this. You see a bit of it on the episode of The Wrestlers featuring EVOLVE. Ethan Page seemed a bit peeved when Darby got hurt in their match and I remember thinking it he really didn't seem to like Gabe in their interactions. I might be blurring stuff I've heard from people and shoot interviews, but I recall there being a couple times during his ROH days where Gabe would just explode behind the curtain if something didn't go right, loud enough where you could hear it if you were near the entrance. I think he has some nervous pacing on The Wrestlers too.

Plus, my memory is kind of fuzzy as to whether Gabe was actually at fault or not, but when PROGRESS did their New York show back in 2017, they had a venue that was so hot, a fan passed out if I recall and they also had transportation issues after the show and maybe that was Gabe's fault? But that's been 3 years now, so don't quote me on that. Dude's had a great eye for talent and a pretty solid creative mind, but every other aspect of Gabe seems miserable.

Nick Gage :allears:

Huntman
Apr 22, 2010


I vaguely remember on commentary they kept putting over the fact that Gage was really looking forward to his match vs. Shinjiro Otani at Spring Break last year, which that match was probably as far away from deathmatch wrestling as you can get and just shows his love for the business. And as mentioned, his Beyond stuff has been great, especially him in Nerder Death Kill. My favorite matches of his are the ones where he wrestles his opponent's style of match then will do a dash of deathmatch here and there. His match vs. Effy at a GCW show last year was one of my favorites of the year.

He genuinely seems like he's overcome his demons and just a really good dude, especially in recent interviews when he isn't kayfabing. But I could rave on and on about Gage forever. Plus his Twitter is always good for a laugh

You'll probably like my Victory Journal about him from last year, although they didn't purge some of the weird print formatting so bear with it: https://victoryjournal.com/stories/there-will-be-blood/

I was gonna save this article for tomorrow, but read through it anyways. I knew Gage had it real rough leading up to the robbery, but I didn't know he was homeless on top of it all. Also glad you mentioned Gage beating Pentagon because that's where he first reappeared on my radar post-release and him saying he'd fight any motherfucker in the parking lot then got in the faces of a couple of fans after the match was the first time I felt something real from a wrestler in a long time. I haven't been lucky enough to see Gage live yet, but you mention it when he was at SCI, whenever I watch him, the energy he puts out is just unreal. In the best way possible, he's like a cult leader. The fans go into a frenzy and I just buy into whatever he's selling.

I'm glad he got the treatment he needed in prison and it really helped him as well as having folks like Lauderdale on his side. In a way, I guess it's also good he got arrested when he did and getting released around the same time social media was blowing up for indie wrestling and streaming was becoming more of an option, making it a bit more feasible to do non-deathmatch stuff. Really hope Gage does well whenever he hangs the boots up.

He deleted the original tweet because people told him he sucks.

This, unfortunately, isn't too surprising. He might have scrubbed it a bit more now, but he's had a few pro-Trump tweets in the past. Love Drake, but homeboy loves his God and his Trump.

Was also during his retirement tour, and yeah, he picked the name Chuck Taylor when he was 14 and he's been wrestling 20 years now so he feels like he's stuck with it.

For better content, here's all the names he came up with:

I feel like EVE always tries to be super woke and it backfires constantly.

Yeah, for all the good that EVE tries to promote, I just feel very strange about the company. Being part of the companies that blackballed Pollyanna and then the whole incident when Sierra Loxton hosed up her back supremely at one of their shows and they didn't have a medic on hand like they should've, though I don't know if they ever followed up on that or not.

Anyways here are a bunch of ideas Matthew Justice came up for back when he was in FCW and not dying on a weekly basis

Even with all that mass Brian Cage is insanely quick and agile. I've seen him live a number of times and when he busts out a picture perfect tope it melts my brain.

When I was first getting into PWG, I could not believe a wrestler like him existed. I 100% thought he was just gonna be some lame powerhouse dude only to find out he is actually one of the coolest loving dudes. There was a string where he opened (or close to opening) a handful of shows and he just got the crowd so hot. That 4-way with him, Uhaa, Ciampa, and Busick from Black Cole Sun always stands out in my mind.
