Looks like it still hasn't come out yet, though. Not the same company, but apparently Disney is working on a Blue Demon cartoon. What a world.

AxB Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Chris Dickinson got injured hitting a Frog Splash on the NJPW show on Saturday night. Dislocated his hip and fractured his hip socket. Out six months, but he reckons he can make it back in five. Brody King set up a gofundme for him without asking, because he knew Chris would refuse permission if he did ask. So between Starboy Charlie, Mance Warner and Danhausen all breaking their legs the same weekend, and now that, someone has clearly put a hex on the US indie circuit.

Vince and the boys are already working diligently to plan out six months' worth of: Smart booking, hot matches, and compelling stories, culminating in an eventual big match at a PPV OR Gear changes, name changes, and updates to his work style, culminating in his eventual release  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me wonders if the Cesaro matches were not only just for the European fans, but also a clandestine main roster tryout of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince probably does love it, but just can't resist the urge to force WALTER to dance every week on television. Because he also finds the "mat is sacred" mantra to be sacrilegious to his Sports Entertainment.

JohnnyJ Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 WALTER coming in is probably confusing for Vince. How do you shorten someones name when it is already just a first name. How many weeks before he's WALT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 @hammervaI saw that yesterday and got a real kick out of it. With a little bit of time to sit on it however, what it does is really make me want to see Sammy vs Danielson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 A colleague informed me that apparently K&H has gone out of business. I would venture to say that 90% of the boots, and most of the ring gear, that was used in the Sixties, Seventies and early Eighties came from Karl and Hildegarde. It was a big deal in the indy lockerrooms if someone broke out a new pair of K&H boots, and many schools would not train you if you did not have wrestling boots at all. Their masks were quaint, but everything else was the highest quality. I remember calling up to order and Hildegarde answered, which I found out was the norm. They also had some of the last custom made shoe lasts for both rodeo boots and clown shoes, which were other sources of income and often overlapped design-wise with their wrestling customers. This news affects me much like the death of a favorite worker would, in the sense that it is the end of an era, and those that come after will never know about this facet of the biz. Well, let a thousand kick-pads bloom. (too important for the Merch Thread, too personal for the RIP thread) 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Has there been a bigger outlet to replace them? In other words were they a mom and pop that got squeezed out or what? Covid maybe? It seems like wrestling gear is a pretty niche business model and there has to be somebody out there doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thee Reverend Axl Future Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I guess the go to merchant is Highspots. I recall young'uns ordering from there. Did they not used to (still?) farm out some of their stuff to tailors in Mexico? I have never heard anything negative about their products. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technico Support Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I have a Highspots Halloween (the luchador) mask that has held up pretty well for years. The only design qualm I have about it is the stem on top of the head is too big. But hey, my six year old loves to run around the house in it and that's a fucking trip. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't watch a ton of lucha and had forgotten what the mask looked like so I googled it, and now I feel like an absolute idiot for not knowing Halloween and Ciclope are the same person.
