We moved from Phoenix to New York a couple years ago. This was the first indie show we went to. Clark wasn’t advertised to my knowledge (or I wouldn’t have gone) so we drat sure didn’t stay.

He put in the barest amount of effort in his promo.

Enjoy has given him a continuing storyline for the last 2 years or so. But yea, he’s never disappointed, even saw him get a decent match out of Swole post AEW.

Meanwhile if I never have to see a Darius Carter match again I will die happy. Same poo poo every single time,

I think perception of Darius is made worse by the way he's a no middle ground guy: He's carved out such a niche for himself in NY/NJ/CT promotions that book him on top that he's booked constantly, but outside of his niche, his rep for being a crowbar and whatnot has kept him on the outside of all sorts of major indies.

I've seen enough Darius live that I think there are positives that he brings to the table, but he doesn't lean into them close to enough. Great Match Strong Style Darius doesn't usually do it for me unless he's working with a wrestling genius like Colby Corino. (I've seen them wrestle each other twice live, and both matches were fantastic while being completely different from each other.) But when he's more of a southern style character heel, I find him a lot more palatable. Like when he would team with The Carnies.

But he's probably always going to have a ceiling where people look at him as That Guy Who Concussed Pete Dunne, since that match is what he's best known for to so many people.

I will always resent Darius Carter for being the last minute replacement to wrestle Timothy Thatcher in Beyond because Nick Gage violated parole.

Makabe says it’s his last year wrestling and by god he’s going through his list of dream matches ain’t he?

(ok maybe it’s not *his* dream match since it’s happened before but anytime he’s up against Thatcher it’s a dream match for me, so)

Makabe is one of the least compelling wrestlers for me, just does not wrestle a style or have a personality that really interests me.

Yeah at MV Young's school in New Ken which is the Pittsburgh branch of the T2T Academy; only reason I go up there is for 880 Wrestling which is fun in the summer and nice to piss off the locals with all the queer wrestlers & fans that go.

Also MV going legit now instead of trying to run the shows under the table like he did for a year

it's funny that you say this, because i went to their doubleshot in north carolina a few weeks ago and it was exceptionally mid. the roster is pretty good, but barring the two recent nxt departures, you can see all of that talent elsewhere in front of a less perpetually online crowd (they chant memes ffs) and in probably better matchups. feels very much the same to me as wrestling revolver or any other tna-lite indie
