He’s had a DV record since the ROH days I believe. Probably a factor in why WWE never gave him a serious look

Why is Swoggle trying to look all edgy?
If you’re the kind of wrestling fan who (a) goes to indie shows and (b) is drawn by Swoggle, dudes trying to look edgy will appeal to you.

It's not really that surprising, Janela went on Twitter post-Trayvon Martin and said something to the effect that anybody who got shot by the cops had it coming.

It wasn’t about Martin, it was post-Martin, a woman who’d been shot by the cops. He was replying to a fan iirc

You sort of have to feel for them, needing to put together big matches but having to protect top guys. I mean the work rate will be fine but I only really enjoy a match if I can entertain it going a different way than I expect

Success of a talent like Flip Gordon reminds you that NXT is sucking up so much indie royalty, and the LU alums can only be in so many places at the same time

Not that him vying for the NWA title isn’t indicative of where he should be. It’s more a sign of the times that the prospective NWA champion is no longer a Tim Storm nobody

Lid posted:

They're not deathmatches, the point though is that (letting the idea of the feud pass) is that they are different again because of a loss of saturation of the idea of what is hardcore where everyone was doing hardcore. Jimmy Havoc's interview interview was specifically on that regarding hardcore matches that on top of people being untrained but hitting with weapons it made the barrier to entry just "how much pain can you take/dish out without feeling bad" rather than being a good wrestler and having hardcore matches be the peak of a feud, not the start of a feud or so run of the mill to become stagnant and boring and simply not special at all.
Well he’s definitely got a point, considering how many insane contemporary death match spots on YouTube barely get pops. Unless they’ve got a meme worker like Zandig in them

the show is very good on paper, but also it feels forgettable with the start of this year having so much wrestling news
Moreover it just sort of shows that the cycle of exclusive signings by various feds have sped up in the last year or two. The point of hype growth that guys used to debut at is now a point at which most of them have been harvested by the big leagues, so there's a lot of new and relatively unknown guys. It can't really be called the indie all-star game anymore.

It also shows how ROH has gotten the short end of the stick in the Name acquisition department, not to mention how Jeff Cobb is currently underpushed there.

Used to be I knew every name on a PWG card just by reputation alone, and now 50% of the undercard are guys I assume are just really well-liked regional stars who haven't broken through yet.
