I watched Nate Webb drink spilled beer out of a man's hair at AIW tonight, just wanted you all to know

Edit: I should confirm that this happened.

Were you over by where Joey Janela and Nate Webb were walking through the crowd during Webb’s entrance, by the time Janela got to where I was he was dejectedly saying “I thought this was supposed to be everyone vs everyone” and I didn’t catch what happened.

It would have been better if it were last year and it was just Bad Boy vs. Bad Boy. But the Good Guy Tama Tonga (remember to vote for that for gimmick of the year) was worth it.

Is Josh Barnett actually good? I only know him from terrible New Japan commentary

His match with Suzuki at the first of his Bloodsports was loving aces, and otherwise he is solid/middling Inokism MMA/Puro guy who is over forty.

You've heard him so you know he can't really be good.

Seeing him live in a tiny music bar in Lakewood, Ohio packed body on body was loving magic.

Wasn't the excuse that it was the tenth anniversary of WWN & the first Dragon Gate USA show? (Which is obviously silly & dumb still)

What's the general consensus on Danhausen? I've seen several of his matches and a bunch of his social media stuff and I'm entertained. Him and Effy as Gaytanic Panic was pretty fantastic.

I wanted to be a hipster and not like him because he was generating some people in PSP saying he should get signed to AEW, but then I somehow ended up with four pieces of his merch.

in 2020 the G in G1 doesn't stand for Goto it stands for Gage.

Nick Gage is one of the most charismatic wrestlers you'll ever see live. His music hits and you can't resist screaming at him to kill his opponent and it makes you want to stab a cop caller.

Can 1000% confirm this feeling every time I have seen Nick Gage enter, and in my experience the smaller the venue is the better the energy is.

Wait, is the 44OH group named after State Route 44 (which basically runs from the lakeshore down into no man's land)?

??? Is that what I, someone who has lived his entire life in Ohio supposed to glean from your faction name?

Pinche Rudo posted:

Area code 440 appears to cover a large swath of Ohio. Maybe that's it?

oh god, that makes so much more sense while also be so much stupider. The traditional Cleveland area code for interstitial branding is 216, because that is the area code of the actual city proper, while the suburbs and boonies of Cleveland all have 440 area codes.

Mance Warner has that to some degree. I think Matthew Justice would have it if he didn't have a soul-deep stoner vibe. I think people who have it these days often have it tempered with a bit of humour.

(sidebar, does anyone else have difficulty telling Josh Briggs, Matthew Justice, and Jake Something apart?)

No because Matthew Justice is the one that hates his own brain more than anything else in the world.

There used to be, back when there were Ren Faires, an old ren faire carnie tradition of doing the fight shows buzzed and mostly nude after the faire had closed with an audience of friends and fellow carnies lit only be car headlights. I imagine a similar energy will fill this wrestling show.

It seriously boggles my mind that there are going to be people traveling to Florida to create a super spreader event because the WWF is holding loving WrestleMania there and that is enough for the usual WrestleMania circumstances to begin to shake back into place.

i’m hoping rsp retains and we get 44OH’s Spring Break

If so it better involve a bunch of people from Texas (for some reason) in Ohio to see Lake Erie (again for some reason)

Gotta say the idea of a 44.OH Spring Break is funnier than a pandemic Spring Break if they actually go all out with it.

They would be forced to only book people from Texas, because that is who spring breaks in the 44.OH zone.

Yeah, basically unless the show is on a Wednesday I'd expect Excalibur to be on commentary. (And scouting talent)

And, you know, given who makes the schedule PWG probably won't be running days Ex can't do.
