Oh hey, Tim Donst is still around. How does GCW afford all these fly-ins and name talent? They can't be doing THAT well, and it seems like they run shows all the time.

coconono posted:I met him a few years ago before all the DV stuff broke and he was pretty chill then but lately all I hear about him is he's all hosed up and loud. Sami stories always remind me of Jimmy Jacobs' first appearance on Art of Wrestling, where he talked about being a huge mark for all the worst, most antisocial parts of old school wrestling.

Huntman posted:been a bit of Eddie Kingston love on here lately and he deserves it. everything he does comes off as so authentic and genuine (even when he is being the scary mad king). cool to see him continuing to be the coolest. He's also willing to look like a total goof when needed, as we saw in the Urban Wrestling Federation. Kingston rules and I hope he gets his moment in the sun before he retires.

Pinche Rudo posted:Necro got like 10 concussions just in the Guerilla Warfare match against Super Dragon and the finish was this gem of a bump: I was really disheartened by Necro becoming a chud until I heard Erick Stevens explain the extent to which he was an insane person who would take any bump asked of him without question. It still sucks, but his brain is pudding now so of course he supports Trump.

Deathlove posted:Finally catching up on Beyond and Eddie Kingston is a blessing on commentary. Like, I don't know that I need him for two hours or whatever, but just a few matches here and there for flavor. He was perfect for the Starr v Orange Cassidy match, especially when OC started doing real moves and Kingston was straight up baffled by it.

davidbix posted:It's correct that this is more the situation than any restrictions on Gage in the United States, as he's been off parole for almost two years now. But, as noted, that can change, as MVP and Booker T have both worked in Japan. However, IIRC, they did have issues getting paperwork to work there on WWE tours, though. And if you look at Cagematch and search their results for "Japan," their only matches in Japan are for Japanese promotions, with NJPW and Wrestle-1 for MVP and NOW and NJPW for Booker. Well now I want to see Nick Gage in NJPW. Book it coward Gedo.

Ganso Bomb posted:Yeah, we have some mutual friends as well which makes it more exciting for me. A friend of mine back in PA does a lot of merch printing for folks in/around that area and promotes the "Let's Hang Out" shows every few months. Gotta be pretty fun for him to see this match pop up again in Beyond after he put it together in a (mostly) dead mall a few months back. Oh, the LVAC guy? He used to co-run a show space in Bethlehem and is super nice. I think he has ties to Square of Opposition Records, too.

Couldn't be happier for him! Glad to hear it! And yeah, the OC/Champ mall match is really fun for those who haven't seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4Sg07F-UiA

Pinche Rudo posted: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. It helps that Gage matches consistently deliver what's promised (violent chaotic spectacle) so he's earned a lot of goodwill with fans. He's definitely got the Necro Butcher aura of "this motherfucker is here to kill people."

DarkstarIV posted:Dunno what thread this belonged in, but apparently Gail Kim, Lita, and Christy Hemme are launching a wrestling promotion. They need to raise the money through Kickstarter first though. Jimmy Jacobs is part of this thing, too. Huh. Dom Garrini is mostly okay but he needs to stop wrestling in his gi because it looks like poo poo once it gets all dissheveled.

El Gallinero Gros posted:Have the Von Erichs been worth a drat for MLW? They're okay in the ring, but much like the more famous generation of Von Erichs, their matches aren't terribly complicated. L.A. Park has been fun in MLW but that's about it. I officially gave up on it after the billionth hardcore match between Mance Warner and Jimmy Havoc that was the same as all their previous matches.
