AxB Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 The first match between them did a lot to get both men over (on this board). So honestly it's surprising it's taken this long for someone to book a rematch. Nice high profile for it though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Visage is in the Tag Title match (at 1 hr 25 minutes) as well: The reason I said Visage would be a good pickup was, whilst they (one person; Non-binary) are pretty green, they are a 6'4" 230 lb'er doing a Drag Queen gimmick (that isn't a gimmick). So therefore, whilst they have lot of potential, the one veteran that would really be the ideal mentor would be Dustin Rhodes. I was with you on Rampage, but hiring Visage when you've already got Sonny Kiss would be a bad move. Not only would it make Sonny less unique, but Sonny is better than Visage on every level - more glamorous, more graceful, a substantially better wrestler (because Visage is pretty terrible) and probably costs less to fly in. It'd like the WWE forming a new Shield with Kona Reeves, Caleb Konley and Ian Rotten's kid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was booking a promotion I'd throw a lot of money at that guy. Seriously, I'm a big fan of the guy. He's turned into one of my favorites ever. MLW had him in for at least a one-off. Had a really good match with DBS Jr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Not sure who else there is in MLW who he would gel well with, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edwin Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Thatcher is far more than just an excellent grappler. He's had multiple great matches against a diverse set of opponents. Edited August 17, 2019 by Edwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryArchieGus Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Saw Thatcher battle Ishikawa here live a week ago Friday. It was a thing of meditative beauty. Dug the DBSJr match as well. I'd like to see more. Say, is anybody up on the Montreal or Quebec scene? I'm curious who's who and what's what over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely need to see his series of matches with Gulak and Busick, the WALTER match from Progress last year and his match against Hideki Suzuki from Bloodsport this year.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) FLQ uses some of the same talent as Smash Wrestling. I've enjoyed what I've seen of FLQ on the Fite Network. It's fun watching French Canadian workers work heel in Smash and face in FLQ and the Toronto/Buffalo guys work as heels in FLQ while faces in Smash.

bobholly138 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Watched the last 2 matches of NorthEast Wrestling's Prison Break show last night. JT Dunn vs Rey Fenix-Rey couldnt be there so Matt Taven was the replacement. Crowd LOVED Taven. Decent match. Main Event-Jon Moxley vs Pentagon Jr-Damn good match.

Think of an NFL player who gets crapped on by his team's fans but when he goes back to his old college gets treated like a rock star. Also replay is up on Highspots Network (a freaking bargain for $10 a month if you ask me) and the Private Party/Insanely Rude/Boy & His Dinosaur opener tore the house down.
