For Great Justice

To talk about how good DEAN was at his craft, I can honestly say without an ounce of hyperbole that he belongs on the Mt Rushmore of pro wrestling writers. Of course there’s Meltzer, and there’s Bill Apter. But at a time in the late 90’s / early 2000’s when the influence of Meltzer and less talented clones like Scott Keith drove the general internet wrestling fandom ethos in one direction, DEAN and by proxy DVDVR represented that counter culture of “no, we don’t want to see Lance Storm perfectly execute moves; we want to see Jerry Lawler punch a motherfucker in the face” And that was massive. And I think it shaped all of us and how we view wrestling. It can’t be understated.

This is heartbreaking. DEAN you are the best to ever do this and we’ll miss you.

Shit yeah I hope it’s piranesi Need that Hobo Army and Wardlow Fashion Watch

DEAN is the best of us. His positivity and spirit for pro wrestling is absolutely contagious. Y’all know good and well if we asked DEAN to review Heroes of Wrestling he’d spent 1,000 words gushing over Tully’s promo and politely not mention anything else. That’s just who he is.

The Briscoe Farm bit is everything I love about wrestling. That right there is my shit. Jeff Jarrett is such an MVP. Get Satnam some yellow rubber gloves and a killer lariat and we got something right there.

Daddy Magic on color can’t just go away like this. Get my dude a show.

Oh man, there’s like 2 guys in AEW I have zero interest in seeing Double J wrestle, and Jericho’s on that list (Adam Cole is the other). Yo give me Jarrett heeling it up (what’s the UK version of tortillas……tea bags?) against patriotic babyface PAC. That shit would rule. Bump and feed, Jeff, bump and feed.

Sign me up. He can show the kid on the other channel how it’s supposed to be done.

If they have longer term plans to turn Cody heel, giving him this title further’s the whole “he showed up and it was all just given to him and he hasn’t earned it” thing

This show was terrible, to be honest. It’s really hard watching JB and Sammy bomb in this role. Cringe-worthy. Especially when Starks, Jay White, Hobbs and other young talents are right there and would be 100x more effective in these spots.

Otis is the sleeper Brawl for All pick. Elite amateur wrestler, built like a brick shithouse, low center of gravity.

Lashley/Reed is going to be tough to top in the POLL

In Craven Cottage today and a nice big All In sign as you’d expect. You can definitely tell it’s Spring Break by the number of Americans and kids here (self included). Fun time. Can definitely see AEW running a show here at some point.

Wrong thread

What would the 2023 love letter to the SS 92 main event be? Danielson or Omega feel like obvious Brets here. In a pipe dream where you could get Drew, there’s your slam dunk Bulldog. If not…does Pac move the needle? Ospreay faces whichever of Omega/Danielson isn’t in the main.

“Cero Miedo!” *Bryan Danielson meme* ”Cero Miedo!” *Bryan Danielson meme* ”Cero Miedo!…”

Might have a shot if they sign alleged free-agent-to-be Drew and run Omega/Punk, Drew/MJF and a Blood and Guts with whatever stable war is going on at the time.

Aww man that Gunns entrance with Many Man was too damn good to last one match

I hadn’t thought of the idea of a Stagger Lee angle with the Carolina Hangmen, but I wouldn’t hate that. I don’t recall ever seeing that angle with a tag team, it seems right up Dax’s alley, and the Gunns would be tremendous stooging their ass off for it

Hey so NXT had two great matches and Bron is probably a few weeks away from dying his hair platinum and giving a shout out to all his freaks out there. So there IS that.

Totally agree. People talk for example about Bischoff’s business stuff, but to me that isn’t nearly as good. Not even close. You can tell that Bischoff was a production guy that ran a cost center inside of a large company, but Jarrett has started and run businesses. Stuff like EBITDA, cash flow, balance sheet is lost on Eazy E. Jarrett gets it.

There are good kinds of Jarrett pods and bad kinds of Jarrett pods, and today’s pod on the founding of GFW is the best kind of business-related Jarrett pod.

EDIT: a lot of Raw/WWE talk in my response, and didn’t realize we locked that thread. Will post over there when it re-opens.

Stewie is the front man for the Saudis

You have to make editorial changes to the timeline in order to make it work, but WCW is also Pearce Anyway I’m at least 80 percent sure Vince has made Prichard and Dunn play Boar on the Floor
