My only memory of Luther Reigns is his match with Charlie Haas at the 2004 Bash, and his finisher, which was basically a Tongan Twist, looked incredible.

So in my heart, Luther Reigns was always good

Well his evidence for New Japan's homoeroticism is noted NJPW superstar Danshoku Dino, so you know he's got his finger on the pulse.

I personally would like to see Hangman do another G1, he really impressed me in 2018. Past him I don't watch AEW so don't really know many of the people there. Plus he can reforge his partnership with big match Yujiro which is a definite plus

Now if Katsu Nakajima came to do another G1 (or Kenoh, any of Kongoh really), that's a completely different story. Hook that poo poo directly into my veins, no matter how much of an impossibility it is

Regular Ibushi is more interesting right now than I ever remember him being. Now thats he's become God he's lost what was left of his humanity and gone utlra instinct weird, getting in the way of Sho and Hiromu's budding romance and making reporters super nervous because the just stares at them with that vacant grin on his face. His post-match interview after the Sanada match was the hardest i've laughed at wrestling in a long time

The thing that keeps turning me off when I watch random AEW matches is the camerawork, it's way too active and frenetic. Give me a single hardcam with zooms and pans done in-camera and I'll take it every single time, I'm personally able to immerse myself way more with that than cuttting between several cemeras. New Japan is a bit calmer and more enjoyable, but it's nowhere near as much as I enjoy what the CyberFight Promotions do with their smaller shows

Let me tell you about this little company called WWE

I've not watched WWE regularly in over a decade, but from the clips i've seen i'm liable to agree. AEW is more of the same to me, albeit not to such a ridiculous degree. Neither are something I enjoy watching, no matter how good the talent is

I don't know much about GCW but I've known a few fans who are very into deathmatches and not much else... the idea of putting a world title held by Nick Gage onto a WWE washout and current TNA star really feels like the wrong kind of heat to be getting with those type of fans. If it's only drinks being thrown Cardona should feel lucky!

Then they should throw poo poo at the person who booked the title change, rather than the guy performing the story

I was vaguely horrified if not really surprised to learn apparently Yoshiko came back to work at Stardom.

As far as I recall it was a one-off appearance for their anniversary show, although she has been out injured for several months so maybe there was some other plans for her working with them. Yoshiko had rehabbed her image in terms of prefessionalism as well as she could in the years in between so not surprised Rossy would make the call if he thought it could bring SEAd fans to the show

the problem with of the decade is they tend to do poorly for people whose prime crossed over between two different decades, Tana's was late 2000s and early 2010s and thus not considered the best of either

Tana would have to be the choice for best of the 21st century, only person I would think comes close is KENTA and he spent all those years being injured in America
