He's probably mid-card at this point, but my man Wheeler Yuta. Nothing but time for that guy. I was utterly convinced he'd never be anything but plucky, white meat babyface, and he's become such a little shitheel. I love it.

Yeah, he’s such a fantastic shitheel! I don’t think he’ll ever be able to be a plucky white meat babyface after this BCC run, because he works best with that edge, and he has the skills. He can be the face who will still cave your chin in with elbow anvil strikes.

My favorite lower carder is Zack Clayton, always felt he has a ton of potential and I hope he still gets to do stuff without Dark anymore. On the women's side, Skye Blue's been on fire as of late.

Angelico has been one of my favorite undercard guys since he and Evans were teaming and he did his goofy rave dance on the way to the ring. I always enjoy seeing him whip out his crazy lucha submissions.

We’re way too deep into this for nobody to have mentioned SERPENTICO yet.

Serpentico's only purpose is to be Nyla Rose's whipping boy on Twitter. Now Ben Dejo on the other hand, that's somebody to keep an eye on!*

*yeah I know it's the same guy

Hey, who's everyone's low carder act that's crushing it and isn't getting enough love?

Solo and the constant breath spray. Has been one of my favorite things lately.

I've been huge on the SNAKEMAN since day one. Chaos Project/SAP have been my favorite team forever.

Alright just so you guys know, this is my rule... when someone open the thread for next Dynamite or Rampage, the old ones get closed.  Talk about last week can come to the monthly thread.

That’s my fault for jumping the gun but it’s an exciting card. We should have gone another two pages talking about Menard and Parker feeding for Cassidy during the commercial break.

Also, I feel kind of bad for the Wrestletix guy on Twitter. This should have been his finest moment, working out the All In ticket sales and providing frequent updates and he’s woefully flummoxed by the situation. Poor guy.

I'm into many of the names being thrown around. The Workhorsemen are awesome. Tony Nese is completely underrated. Josh Woods has really come along nicely in the last while, and is probably in need of graduation soon. If we're including him Silas Young is fantastic. Willie Mack is a name I've yet to see registered, but he's been fantastic. Blake Christian, absofuckinglutely! Blake has completely won me over, and I expect he'll find his way up the card in due time. All that said, my favorite low card act, by a large margin, is Leon Ruffin. His ability to connect with any and every live crowd is pretty outstanding. His duck and dodge rope routine is one of the most thrilling combinations going. The way he bumps around is second to none. Leon's matches aren't generally long affairs, but they are consistently fun. On top of being my favorite low card AEW/ROH act, Leon Ruffin is one of my favorite performers going right now.

Your forgiveness will be accepted once you complete your penance. 
Review all available Nick Bockwinkel vs Verne Gagne matches and Jumbo Tsuruta vs Rick Martel matches.

Tony got cute and ran Willie Mack vs Ninja Mack last night.

@Octopus, Verne is my second least favorite Bock opponent. The matches are all way to one sided. I really should look at all the other Martel versus Jumbo matches now that I understand Jumbo far better. I’ll wait until the soft brand split forces them to do another series I don’t want to watch though.

Out of my love for you, we can burn the Verne and switch it to any Bockwinkel & Saito tag.

Pretty sure the hierarchy is if you can credibly win a TV singles match at any time, you're firmly midcard or above.

That’s a fair statement.

The feud begins in a tag match when Buzz jumps off the top rope, intercepts an in-mid-air Coffin Drop Darby, and turns it into a powerslam.

Is the correct answer. Bloody love his zany submissions and transitions. He's probably perfect in ROH, just hope he gets to be more competitive than he has been in AEW. I want to see him in longer matches against the likes of Joe, Danielson, ZSJ etc.

Danielson vs mid-90s Regal (or mid-90s Dave Taylor)

Brody King vs Dr Death (or Takayama)

Jamia Hayter vs Akira Hokuto

Darby Allin vs Liger

Daniel Garcia vs Shinjiro Ohtani

I'd also like to see Daddy Magic and Cool Hand get murked by all the great monster tag teams of the 80s and 90s.
