The problem with Mox right before he went to rehab was he would turn purple when he wrestled.

Ganso Bomb posted:I loved how Mox looked before he went to rehab, tbh. I’m glad he got sober obviously but he had a look for a brief time that seemed unique at the time, just looked like a big beefy bruiser who was going to gently caress you up. Felt like a very 70s/80s look. I wonder what the through-line between Mox's look at the time and the 70s/80s was.

I'm not sure if it made him a better wrestler, but David Finlay dropping the skinnyfat weight and getting more cut has directly led to the biggest push of his career so far.

Swerve now looking like an inevitable world champion. Drew McIntyre going from comedy jobber to world champ. my personal favorite was chase owens showing up at the start of every g1 tour visibly overweight and ending the tour very cut and then going straight back to flabby after a few months

If New Japan have such a close working relationship with AEW/ROH, how come Young Lions don’t go on excursion there? Too high profile?

Easy answer is AEW has such a big roster that guys on excursion wouldn't get as consistent reps as they would in smaller companies. Leube (and Yuto before he got injured again) is working at least once a week to develop their character which would be far from guaranteed in AEW when they're not household names drawing eyes to a television product

Young Lions getting wasted in American promotions is how you get Okada, so I see no issue in that.

Young boys need reps more than they need TV exposure, and with no house show tours AEW doesn't have a lot to offer them. Most of them seem to do better in Mexico anyway.

I honestly figured for a while Takeshita was there on an excursion, to the point that I was surprised when he signed.

If anything AEW and the lesser used younger talent should be making use of New Japan and CMLL to put in reps. Kinda of shocked some of the talent hasn't asked to go on a month tour of Japan or to work Mexico to get some more seasoning. Top Flight especially could use it especially

Yeah, back in the day they could come to Memphis or whatever territory and work on the constant house show loops which is a terrible, grueling method but did force them to get good at working in front of the same crowds repeatedly and make sure the fans weren't bored.

How did Shawn Michaels being a guest ref for Hayabusa vs Gannosuke occur? Did WWE and FMW have an agreement or was Hayabusa just really into Shawn as a worker or something?

WWF and FMW did have a relationship, I believe. I'm seeing some mention of Shawn being a replacement for Steve Williams who refused the booking out of loyalty to Baba? And also a suggestion that Shawn asked to get some of his school's students booked with FMW in return, which does seem true as Danielson and Lance Cade did a tag match shortly after.

I remember Paul Heyman picking up the phone pretending to be his room-mate, in case anyone was calling him chasing money. Honestly, any of the Between The Sheets Patreon specials on ECW inevitably end up full of amazing Paul bullshittery, either to the sheets, to his own wrestlers, to TV partners, or anyone else with a pulse.

Wasn't there also a story that he lost his job in charge of Smackdown earlier in the decade because he was listening into Raw conference calls that he wasn't meant to be on or something equally dumb?

Yeah he’d been pretending to hang up and then staying on the line or something. I feel like there was also a time he told that story and tried to spin it even further with “and the sick part was I wasn’t even listening in when they ‘caught’ me I just genuinely forgot to hang up” but it’s been a while and I might be mixing up Heyman bullshit stories.
