Mark winning the title meant so much more considering the timing of everything, just.....man that was so good. As opposed to Cody making out with Hunter and publicly thanking Bruce Pritchard, and kissing the ring of Nick Khan.

Only had time to watch the first few matches of Supercard. Who knew Lee Johnson was so good?? It’d be good to see his career start to go places off the back of it.

He's always had a ton of promise but I don't think he's come anywhere near realizing it until this ROH run. Not only has his ring work stepped up a notch, but his promos are starting to come along too.

He desperately needs some kind of character though. He's been a blue chip prospect for like 4 years straight.

Absolutely and I think that his growing comfort on the mic will help with that a lot. Doesn't hurt that he's married to an absolute goddamn character phenom either.

has he gotten his braces removed yet, because that would probably also help him in the promo department

I think so, I'm pretty sure his top braces are off but he might still have the bottom still on.

I don't know if Johnson works with STP with where he is right now and while a heel turn might well be good for him, it feels like STP is operating in a mode that I'm not sure Lee has right now.

Today is the 13th anniversary of Larry Sweeney's death. Will never forget Weekly Font trying to high five him, Sweeney too slowing him and Font almost falling over the barricade.

Larry Sweeney was the first wrestling death that really broke me in half.

Larry Sweeny is one of my earliest independent wrestling memories. Loved that guy. His TEXARKANA TV title was so great. And he had a great three way with Colt and Delirious.

turn it all around

Larry Sweeney was a guy I watched a lot of when I still had dreams of being a wrestler, just trying to learn by osmosis the knack he had for promos and delivery and everything else. His passing was/is especially hard because he was friends with a lot of my PA friends, so when this day comes every year it’s just heartbreaking seeing their posts about him.

12 large, brother.
