Trish Stratus is such a smoke show. Also, Cena is looking so old.

Yeah I can definitely pass on that one. Never seen the appeal really. Good for him though if he's found somewhere to get paid and pushed I spose.

Did see some people saying that this is proof that AEW didn't know how to use him. Which I mean like, why on earth would you push Ethan Page when you have Ospreay, Swerve and MJF who are all younger and better than him. Takeshita too, so hyped for his G1 run

In Ethanโs defense he was paired up with the firm and Matt hardy. That would make anyone bitter. Some good matches this weekend
Jay white vs Hangman
Nxt 4 way main event
MITB womenโs match

I think it's funny that Lexis King could have been in that nxt 4-way after that Cody meme wen't down and they just knew he was too much of a shitter to be put in that spot. Unless he's injured.
edit : I just saw that he has a match on Tuesday, so I guess he's not.

What was going on with him? Was he just a broken old drunk? I feel like we see a lot of success cases of children/teenagers training wrestling
But there's gotta be way more that get fucked up from the experience, can't imagine getting CTE every night and then drinking the pain away with men in their 30's is gonna be good for you

All I know is Morishima from 2005-2008 was one of the scariest dudes to ever set foot in a wrestling ring. Dude looked like a wounded bear that wanted to kill you and the punishment he could take made you think his opponents were trying to kill him.

NOAH not knowing how to push young guys and general health issues derailed Morishima. He was supposed to make a come back in 2018, but had to have some kind of surgery and assaulted a cabbie so it never happened.

Morishimas ROH title run absolutely rocked, just a total fucking monster that seemed like he was gonna kill whoever he was up against. NOAH at that time had him, KENTA, Marufuji, Shiozaki, Suguira and even like Ibushi and Nakajima as freelancers (I think), you really would have thought they were really well equipped for the future but it just didnt work out that way

I'm thinking about doing a puro deep dive. I was basically only ever into Michinoku Pro, Osaka Pro and deathmatch promotions from Japan so I've missed a ton of stuff.

I will never understand why Misawa decided that Rikio should be the guy to take the belt off of Kobashi. Then again I also watch all of these matches in a vacuum divorced from the context at the time (and don't speak Japanese) so hey maybe folks liked the guy? I always thought Morishima was the stronger of the two in their tag team.

I always thought Morishima was the stronger of the two in their tag team. I've been watching from the beginning and I keep thinking the same thing. I'm in 2003 and Rikio is absolutely NOT ready for anything like a main event run. He rules, but he's young and doesn't have the reactions a real natural has (say like Marufuji or another young prodigy) I think that there was also a real concern for the future even that early on, because they still hadn't really had a class ready to take over. All the older All Japan guys were really broken down and none of the young kids were ready. I think it was just a total gamble and it was a flat fart in the end

There's terabytes of free shit out there, start digging! I suggest watching AJW starting from the mid to late 80's and up to around '97 These are two of my biggest sources outside of torrents (which are less and less these days): archive.org/details/@occupation_of_indiezvk.com/video/@club4499945i picked up a ton of Zero One recently off these that im excited to explore. I want to check out HUSTLE eventually too

HUSTLE is one company I watched regularly because my friend was buying it from Jeff Lynch's tape list. I use this archive page: archive.org/details/@puroarchive
