I remember one of the early Adam Ryland booking games, I think EWR, used to present in game show reports in the style of Scott Keith, CRZ and maybe a few others.

Because kayfabe isn't quite dead in Japan in quite the same way it is in the US. You know in boxing you have the WBF & WBA & all these other sanctioning bodies with their own world titles? Wrestling kind of runs off that idea. So the International Wrestling Grand Prix is the sanctioning authority of New Japan, & PWF is the sanctioning body of All Japan, & GHC for NOAH. (The PWF Heavyweight Title is one of the 3 belts that were unified to make up the Triple Crown, along with NWA International Heavyweight Championship & NWA United National Championship, & the Junior Title is still the PWF World Junior Heavyweight Championship, although most people just say AJPW Junior Title these days.

It's the illusion that the governing body in charge of the titles isn't just the company themselves.

I meant "freak out" as in "Yes!!! Jay White is here!" While I am thinking "Who the hell is Jay White?"

The problem with making that a rationale is that no casual fan will ever be in a position to start watching any wrestling promotion. Their skulls will cave in after they are barraged with unfamiliar after unfamilar person as they futily ask "How much does this guy weigh?"

Billy Gunn was at one time in WWE known as Badass Billy Gunn and then Mr. rear end Billy Gunn. Danhausen took this as his name literally being Billy rear end, and thus his sons were the rear end Boys.

Yeah. That's literally all. You make a sign and then take the sign and hopefully is funny

When I brought my video game opinion sign to the last local AEW taping security checked it to make sure it didn't say anything horrible and that was it.

Has there ever been a tag team or stable that mixed faces and heels, besides things like two singles wrestlers being lumped together for an angle?

Sure, wrestlers would go face and heel all the time and leave their group but did one exist that maintained the difference?

Death Triangle has Fenix who is face aligned, PAC who is heel aligned, and Penta who is skeleton man aligned

One of my favorite things about Dalton is how he's coded that way but as the greatest babyface in the world

CombineThresher posted:

I'd say Dalton/the Boys and the Acclaimed's scissoring thing are both examples of queer-coded stuff being used by babyfaces in a not-lovely way; the audience is laughing and cheering with them, not at them. It's pretty great.

That said it would be amazing to have an ironman match where like Wardlow was up 7-0 on Ryan Nemeth after 5 minutes and Peter Avalon threw in the towel
