Considering that Josh Barnett was part of the inaugural tournament for the Inoki Genome Federation Championship, I think Inoki would be pleased to see him.

To truly honor Inoki they should have ran back that Doc Gallows vs. Sylverster Terkay match Inoki loved so much he had to come down to ringside to see.

What should have happened is that Darby should have been feet from the summit of Everest and then Nick Wayne turns on Darby and takes him out. Nick Wayne summits Everest and then drags Darby back down. This lack of foresight is why tiny con is the worst booker ever.

I started following this dude because I think Chris Hero gave him a shout out as a decent follow, and he was for a while then all their posts became complaining about realism in wrestling and how technical guys can’t do proper submissions. I get it to a certain point, but also it is still professional wrestling.

running any match in front of a crowd below five, maybe six digits, is giving it away

also all matches should be promoted for no less than three months

tv should be nothing but promos and squashes and fifteen-minute entrances for both

Clearly what attracts casual viewers to wrestling is treating it as a DEADLY SERIOUS COMBAT SPORT, please ignore the hundreds of examples of this not being the case.

every face should be a no-nonsense rear end kicking babyface who's entrance is to sprint to the ring and immediately start beating on the heel

every heel should be a slimey piece of poo poo with a wimpy manager to do their promos and run interference for them

those can be the only two wrestling archetypes, none other

God I wish Necro wasn’t such an absolute poor excuse for a human being in real life, his wrestling persona was so malleable and fun: somehow perfect for edgelord Age of The Fall stuff, able to do a comedy bit like “don’t tell anyone I know how to wrestle” after working a chain-wrestling sequence, magnetic enough that he’s a standout in The Wrestler wearing bifocals and explaining a staple gun spot to Mickey Rourke and then doing it on camera

If he just didn’t suck as a person, imagine what we could have had

Oh well we got Nick Gage, and I suppose that’s good enough.

I've always maintained that had Necro not gotten the giant weed tat he could have had some kind of a run in TNA. WWE would have never touched him in a million billion years but TNA would have brought him in and let him do something with Abyss. Alas.

It's a shame what he's become but he did collect CTE like it was Pokemon and even back then we knew it was never going to end well.

they should put okada on the jade cargill plan, where you spend two years deprogramming all of the bad things they've learned, then spend two years teaching them how to wrestle, then two years touring florida before debuting on nxt for 2-3 years, then to the main roster to job to cedric alexander in four minute matches on velocity

You know if you've signed a new wrestler who a lot of the fans don't know you can just present him as a star and assuming he has the talent & presence to live up to that billing then people will generally go along with it. People don't automatically have to start at the bottom. They come in, your commentators explain why this is a big deal & you put him in an important position, & especially if you debut him in an environment where he has the highest chance of being over from day 1 (for an easy example, the Raw after Mania) because the audience know him & react positively.

I know this is all quite alien to how Vince McMahon booked wrestling but just saying it doesn't have to be that way. Being a great booker isn't easy, but booking a star as a star sure as poo poo doesn't have to be hard. Put him with a manager if his English is such a big deal. Not even saying he needs to come in & beat your champion day 1. But I dunno, if I was booking it I'd maybe consider throwing him in there night 1 against Gunther. I'd have him be the guy to end Gunther's IC Title reign, he's only 27 days shy of surpassing Pedro Morales for the most days holding the IC title, once he's got that record, I dunno, seems like a ready made position to make someone. And enable Gunther to move up the pecking order.

Or you could use vignettes to promote someone's appearance. Not every debut has to be a shock for hashtags and clicks. If you're wanting someone to be a big deal off the jump then hype them up, show Okada crushing people in the PC, have AJ/Gallows/Anderson say he's the toughest person they've ever faced, tell the audience that the best wrestler in the world is coming. I know they haven't hyped up someone since HHH's quad tear return but you can do it to someone else.

And then he comes out as Lil' Skipper Kazu with a toy parrot that Mattel can sell to kids.

the main event of the aew ppv should be sting and darby beating the bucks in fifteen seconds then the remaining 45 minutes allocated for the main event should be the entire locker room and support staff and maybe some random security guards and vendors all taking turns kicking the bucks in the bean bag over and over again. no matter how many kicks they take the crowd will still be chanting for more. i will then rank the match .5 stars and demand that aew fire them and wait is this the hell thread
