I've never made it to one of their shows but once they're back at Logan Square I'm going to have to check them out.

Uno's body shape and doofy middle manager persona make it easy to forget he's pretty darn good at this wrestling thing. He'll be fine :)

AEW is really good at establishing the midcard veterans as crafty wrestlers who've seen it all and have to be beaten with an abundance of wit or skill. Uno has definitely been a beneficiary of that.

They're doing a Logan Square show Thursday of All Out weekend, tickets just went on sale last week.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

rantmo posted:

Yup and good in a way that puts him just a touch above even a lot of other wrestlers. Think of how many wrestlers do standard backbreakers but let their opponent sort of slide off or don't really post and set on their leg like Stu does. I'm not even trying to shade or shame them, Stu is genuinely something special.
King of Trios 2009 is my favorite tournament of all time and Stu and Ibushi have an awesome match on Night 3 for the King of the Flippies trophy. This is back when Stu was doing Rey Fenix spots and making them look easy

I've said it before, MJF vs. Eddie would be an incredible feud, especially if the match happens in a New York venue.

oh jeez lol

rantmo posted:

It's really straightforward and also requires incredible precision: as long as his knee and ankle are aligned basically perfectly, so he's forming a essentially a 90 degree angle with his knee, the impact is transferred right into the ground through the tibia, which is incredibly strong. As long as his ankle and knee are stacked, it's incredibly safe.

I don't know how much leeway a move like that has but if his alignment is ever too far off and/or his opponent is just a little heavier than the angle supports bad poo poo is going to happen to his joints. It helps that he's been doing martial arts for most of his life so his proprioception is strong enough to give him that sense of his structure and that confidence in his skill because the failure state is horrifying.

very interesting thank you

It's not in Crown Point, but there's already a lot of shows scheduled for that weekend:

Th: AAW at Logans Square Auditorium

Fri-Sat: GCW/Freelance/BLP in the NW Burbs:

And then All Out.

AAW had two shows tentatively scheduled for Fri-Sat of that weekend (for the Jim Lyman Memorial Tournament?) but that looks like it's been moved to October. I'll know more tonight.

I almost feel like this should have been the first one they did, because it feels weird going from the weirdos and malcontents of AEW making Lexy Nair uncomfortable to the interview being played perfectly straight.

Last week's with Lance Archer was pretty straight too. I think they just ran out of funny wrestlers quicker than they thought.

I dunno, it seems to me like each performer probably gets to respond however they want, so Max Caster gets to be a total weirdo, Abadon gets to be terrifying, and Stu and Uno, Archer, and Aubrey can just decide to basically be themselves. It doesn't really strike me as something AEW would dictate much, if at all.
