    The Fatu clip appears to be from somewhere else. Whatever that promotion was, they had guardrails.

    I have a feeling (only that, a feeling) that the wrestlers were aware of this guy and tired of his shit. Plenty of fans were booing/taunting/whatever Garcia there and he went for that guy.

    I mean, you're not wrong that guardrails are a good idea, but that dude clearly is a problem.

    I believe that clip is from Ultra Pro.

    Here’s the Main Event of the show I’m quoting:

    45285-F80-4-D9-D-4-D63-BE96-0-A46-D942-D
    Thoughts on these guys? Am I in for a zinger?

    Those four just did a four-way on a DREAMWAVE show a couple of weeks ago that was a lot of fun.  I have a feeling the crowd at First Avenue will be a bit hotter so I'd expect that to be reflected in their performance.

    Evil Ronnie Garvin has promise but I know he's not sticking around long. Rubbing the money on his chest was certainly a decision he made.

    I remember being freaked the f*** out as a kid when Garvin did that.  The rubbing of the money, that is, not turning on Dusty.

    When Regal does go back to WWE, he will be working with Triple H on the main brands, as a producer. Producers in WWE is close to what Coaches are in AEW but not exactly the same. Regal won't be able to appear on WWE tv until 2024. Anyway thanks to Tony for clearing up things.

     

    I am very curious whether there's a loophole in the "coaching only, not as an onscreen talent" stipulation on Regal from TK.  If someone's primary job is producer and their contract lines out exactly how much of their job is backstage and how much is onscreen, I wonder if they can get away with it.  I don't consider Petey Williams getting blown up by Lashley as onscreen talent, he's a producer who got in the way.

    The only way you wouldn't know that he was Reggie is unless you have terrible memory and need to see a doctor.  Never mind how it looks and that awful mask, Reggie is such a recognizable looking wrestler.  I mean is there anyone that short with that much flippy shit and black thar you could even think NOT Reggie   Even if they brought in Lio Rush there is a difference 

    I guess you could be fooled by thinking, "there's no way they do this push for REGGIE, right?"

    In 1992 who would have believed Vinnie Vegas and Diamond Dallas Page would be future world champions? 

    Who knows...if the rumors were true and Sick Boy/Scott Vick came back as Katie's brother out for vengeance, he could've had a main event run. The biz is weird like that.

    I didn't realize until just now how old he was when he got on TV.  If he had been ten years younger, they probably could have done a lot more with him.

    What if it isn't a swerve? Is it possible AEW would try an MJF babyface run? 

    I feel like this whole "is he/isn't he" storyline leading up to the PPV is sort of a test run for MJF as a face.  I'm pretty sure that it'll end up a swerve but I think if the face tendencies got over like crazy they might change course and go all in on the turn.

    I am so stoked for Mad King's Dream Match on Rampage. Probably even more so than for the PPV. Actually, scratch the "possibly." It's a dream match for me, too.

    Agreed, I'm more excited about that match than anything on Full Gear.

    The question would be then, who was?

    Looking over the old DVDVR 500s - Benoit tops most of them. I think, while hindsight is extremely difficult in this instance, that appears largely on reputation from years earlier. Eddy was injured for a large chunk of 2000. Juventud, wow, I'll need to reevaluate, but I doubt anything he was doing in WCW 2000 made that seem realistic. Finlay was working garbage matches with Brian Knobbs. Has Jeff Hardy ever had a good non-gimmick match? Matt Hardy was solid but bland at the time. Regal was working sporadically. Daniels was probably a couple years off seriously contending here.

    .....and Joey Abs.

    I definitely thought Joey Abs and Sick Boy were the future of the business.

    Oh, he's excited alright. Book is out of his mind with the constant ranting and voices and needs to calm the fuck down. I came in late on the show but he irritated me so much I put it on mute and actively ignored most of it. I'll probably go back and watch the big singles matches but that mute is staying on. 

    I did catch the Indi match and poor gals, they both literally fell on their butts. 

     

    Man, Booker was on another level last night.  Straight up insanity coming out of his mouth ALL SHOW.

    Indi tripping over her fallen opponent was definitely a highlight.
