RandomAct Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Ready to book Emma vs Big Trev in the Sportatorium. Speaking of which, there is a sneaky little surprise at the end of this student show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering who she's going to work. My guess would be Candice LeRae. They're also bringing in Sid on December 29. And running Smothers vs. Kikutaro on December 15.

Edwin Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 MLW is holding another event next Thursday at the GILT Nightclub in Orlando. The card looks good on paper: Shane Strickland and John Hennigan vs. Darby Allin and Jimmy Havoc Matt Riddle vs. Tom Lawlor Joey Ryan vs. MJF Brody King vs. MVP Santana Garrett vs. Laurel van Ness Sammy Guevara vs. Jason Cade Jimmy Yuta vs. Vandal Ortagun Mike Parrow vs. Saieve Al Sabah Seth Petruzelli and Rhett Giddins vs. Dirty Blondes I missed the last show, but I'm getting tickets this weekend for this as it's the day after I'm done with this semester and I should be able to head out from work in time to make it.

S.K.o.S. Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I'm stunned that you were able to find one tweet that summed things up that neatly. Like, I would have posted about it, but I didn't feel like taking the effort to write out the whole story. Elgin also deleted his Twitter just a short while ago.

Casey Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Picking up a little traction on Reddit, and as to be expected with lesser platforms of discussion on the web - cries of "WAIT AND SEE" and general comments about "ringrats" being sluts and not worthy of even giving their accusations a thought or credibility. You don't even mention the best part about Elgin - he was defending the accuser on his Twitter timeline and trying to be a good guy, and in private (through DMs) was slut shaming and calling her a whore to a noted troll account who possibly just likes to stir shit up.

Jiji Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 This isn't exactly surprising. He boasted about urinating on a woman among other things on the Kevin Steen Show and the way he talked about women he considered "ring rats" was telling. And from what I've heard, this couldn't be happening to a nicer fellow. O_O Jeff Cobb to usurp his role as hossy gaikokujin please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the US and Canada he's in deep shit but I don't think this is as serious in Japanese culture. He's lucky he has his gig there because WWE will probably never be an option after this.

Jiji Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I don't think they care but I wasn't saying they would. Elgin's been depushed pretty steadily over the past 10 months or so (since his Naito title challenge in February). I like Elgin in New Japan but Cobb is a significant upgrade on him, doesn't have baggage and from all accounts is a nice dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevendaughters Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 plus Cobb has that legit background they looooove. Elgin is just a really unintelligent guy who likes to self-destruct, I think he has total impostor syndrome that leads to him to undermine himself when he hits a career peak. unsurprised that he's a bit shady too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJPW played "Wait and See" with Honma, they didn't book him for one tour right after his charges popped up, then brought him back when things dropped. But, NJPW's booking Callihan, so that they'll drop Elgin for this and not that he's pretty much become "whatever" over the past year isn't likely.

I'm not totally familiar with the Honma thing but isn't the difference that he was charged with an actual crime wheras Elgin is merely guilty of being a horrible person? As a wrestler I'd be sad to see him go as I think he's great (The match he had against Okada in the G1 was one of my favorites of this year) but if this helps lead to that he only has himself to blame.

RandomAct Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The Elgin news is completely unsurprising to me based on everything I've heard and see firsthand. Slut shaming is the tip of the iceberg with this trash ass person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 3 minutes ago, Phil Schneider said: Can someone give me a thumbnail of exactly what happened. It is confusing as shit to try to read this via wrestling twitter Big Mike's student was accused of sexual assault. Someone talked shit about the accuser and Mike defended the accuser on Twitter and said the nice things you should say in this situation. Then that same person talking shit put out screenshots of a DM conversation they had with Mike where Mike is calling the accuser a whore, how she had it coming or that no one was surprised (something along these lines), and says no one believes the accuser. Mike then announced Glory Pro was being sold, said he was deleting his Twitter, proceeded to say some more shit on Twitter, and then finally deleted his account or deactivated it or whatever.

FireThunder Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I was always partial to Kronik's theme, which was blatantly cribbed from Static-X's "Love Dump". Back on topic, slightly: Hurricane Helms and Mighty Molly (!) are going to be doing a show in my two horse town in February with a meet and greet. For $20, I may need to go to this.

Casey Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 And to get back off-topic, but RIPPA brought it up so it's okay I guess... Elgin is back on Twitter and I don't think his statement made anything better, but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
