TriffTshngo posted:ok, wrestling question: what's your favorite gimmick match nobody else likes or no major company does anymore No major company can match the sheer insanity of the Dead of Alive Cage matches Dragon Gate put on. Here's my question: Was Orange Cassidy ever confirmed to be Fire Ant in Chikara? I read it on I think GameFaqs around 2012 and remember it every so often , but never get an actual source past r/SC or twitter

jesus WEP posted:the six sided ring is bad but the pounce is very good Agreed that the pounce from weird angles was great. Wasn't one of the main problems with TNA's ring is that they took a WCW ring, which was already smaller, then cut the corners off to make a hexagon? I think I remember Joe talking about needing to react to whips and stuff way too fast because the ring was loving tiny

But yeah, pure cowardice

What are some examples of a later naming of a move becoming the genericized name? The only ones that come to mind immediately are the Belly-to-Belly Piledriver becoming the Tombstone and Kudome Valentine becoming the Vertebreaker. I guess also Yoshi Tonic/Code Red but that just seems to be a regional difference.

davidbix posted:The tombstone name predates The Undertaker by decades. It became his finisher because it was already named that. From my brief research it seemed like Jack Pallo called it the Belly-to-Belly when he used it in the 60's before it was called the Tombstone by the WOS guys in the 80's, but I'll defer to your knowledge on the subject

Benne posted:Kota Ibushi's Death Stare is the most terrifying sight in wrestling For me it's Go Shiozaki. There's a picture I remember seeing from years back when he still had the black hair, blood running down his forehead as he stared right through someone promising murder. He's only gotten better with time, he has some of the most emotive eyes i've seen. I was so shook when Kenoh hit the buzzsaw kick on him and he was just laying there with glassy eyes, like he'd just gone somewhere else.

I remember JR and Heyman being great at WM17, but my favourite commentary team is Kevin Kelly, Rocky Romero, and Chris Charlton, especially from their first G1 tour together. Kevin was a decent enough play by play guy, Rocky brought great colour as both an active wrestler and a member of CHAOS (and an ongoing hatred of BUSHI) and Chris brought the live promo translations and New Japan history for both wrestlers and arenas. Each member played an integral part and by the end of the tour they'd called 15 or so shows together in a month and had built up a great camaraderie. I don't think Chris would be nearly as comfortable in the booth as he is now if it weren't for Kevin and Rocky

Comedy answer is Zack Sabre Jr . Every time he takes a hit his lights immediately go out. But for real I think it's either Tanahashi or Kawada. I wouldn't be surprised if Kawada worked a bit with Ishii in the early-mid 2000s, they both have such phenomenal timing in when the exact right moment to start selling is.

abraham linksys posted:b) All of that said, what are the "best" (if there is such a thing) and worst instances of uncomfortably-realistic injuries y'all have seen? Probably not what your're going for, but my mind always goes to Shibata at the end of Sakura Genesis 2017. At the time I was thinking he was selling being exhausted from being in a near 40 minute war and thought it was really good acting, we only found out later his brain had broken and had paralysis on his right side. Which of course made it so much more emotional when he walked out 4 months later to let us know he was still alive
