No, I’m not Low-Ki Hated on by most these posters named Jiji I’m no academic, my reign in the pandemic No crowds and I get no credit For shows I was the showstopper, and matches I carried. Mad at me 'cause fireworks didn’t go off and I get buried. Got a wife named Rene with her own podcast When I got poked in the eye I had a eyepatch Oh yeah, I also got a half Canadian baby Did y'all think I'ma let my cred freeze? Poster please You better bow down on both knees Who you think taught you how to leave the WWE? Who you think was the first shocking debut on the marquee? In CZ DUB, GC DUB, and my resume isn’t even funny In the SHIELD and B double C.

Or anyone tryna bring backstage drama your way? Wanna resolve things in a bloodier way? (Yup) Just study a tape of Kobash-ayyy One day I was walking by with my AirPods on When I caught a guy, gave me an awkward eye (What you looking at?) I Misawa forearmed him up in the parking lot like he was Akira Taue I don't give a fuck if it's on AEW Dark or not I'm harder than me tryna out strike Ishii BTE ain’t funny. The jokes are elaborately too inside and the productions not I won’t tap out with two broken legs, I’ll flip you off Fuck you too Jericho, call the Kahn I'ma kill MJF and that BIG-ass motherfucking Warddog And when the Kahn came through Me and Mox stood next to a soldout house With a title on his shoulders and a wedding ring on my finger My wife isn’t fake (she’s real) So from here on out, it's The Moxley title run II Starting today and tomorrow's anew And I'm still LAX enough to choke you to death with my friend Homicide, too Eddie-Eddie-Eddie, Eddie Kingston, hotter then Bryan Danielson With traded tapes of All Japan And Memphis from the mid-80's Calling Daddy Magic lame, sorry, Mox, but I been crazy There's no way that you can save me It's okay, go with him Yuta (Regal?)

Now you wanna run around talking bout barbed wire, like I ain't got none What you think I sold 'em all? 'Cause I quit drinkin? Now all I get is hate posts all day sayin' Mox stinkin What, 'cause I been in Blackpool with a gentleman villain Tryin' to elbow fools who be sports entertainin ? I ain't havin' that This is the millennium of Ambrose is Back It ain't gon' be nothin' after that So give me one more golden belt and fuck wrestling, you can have it back So where's all the Mad workers at? It's like a jungle in this habitat But all you savage cats Know that I was using light tubes While you were internet markin to Hook and Danhausen KINGSTON: Nowadays everybody wanna type But it’s just a bunch of talk But nothing comes out when they move their fingers Just worthless zingers And posters act like they forgot about Mox Nowadays everybody wanna type But it’s just a bunch of talk But nothing comes out when they move their fingers Just worthless zingers And posters act like they forgot about Mox.

  3. Look, pal, when people say "Greg Valentine," they usually don't mean 1991 babyface Greg Valentine or 1997 WCW SN enhancement talent Greg Valentine.

  5. Appreciate the effort in uploading that for me. I did watch the whole match and I was pleasantly surprised. No matter anyone's opinions you certainly can't call Valentine lazy here. He puts a shift in with his selling. I do not remember him being this high level with selling. So maybe I have just been letting childhood bias cloud my judgement. Good pick having a Tito match too because I have plenty Tito vs Greg matches in my memory bank. And love me some prime Tito. The overall presentation here is such a breath of fresh air too vs the modern presentation. This was a good choice to start moving my opinion. It was mostly all Tito on offense, but that let what Valentine did on the sell and between spots really shine. Couple weird things like when Tito caught the foot and went to spin him Greg just didn't spin lol. Going into this I thought I'd be like the older lady in the front row with her arms crossed bored out of my mind. But I came away with a new appreciation for what I may have been missing. So thank you. This may have just been a good choice, or it might be closer to what Valentine really was. Either way I at the very least take back my lazy & creatively bankrupt comments for sure. I'm going to have to take some time and track down a few more PTW matches of his to see if I was really that far off about him, or if this was just one of his higher end tv matches.

  6. I grabbed (and uploaded for you; but it'll probably get taken down soon) a random match with Roger Kent and Billy Graham announcing during a random Challenge taping in 88. This is nothing I think I've ever seen before as most Tito vs Valentine matches I've seen are from 87 or earlier. It's a PTW though, as it's bookended by Monsoon and Heenan. He starts the match by getting heat by jawing with the ref about his shinguard that he used to cripple Graham. Then he immediately recoils from Santana and then tries to discount it by screwing with his hair. Then it's right into an arm wringer/wristlock and right to the ropes. More heat. He makes sure to sell the hand after the fact. Tito follows up with an immediate single leg and goes for the shinguard and Valentine spasms all over the place to the ropes and complains. Then it's time for him to get some stuff so it's a cheapshot knee out of nowhere, some great elbows to the skull and an attempt at chinlock, but it's Santana and we're still in the extended shine so he turns it into a hammerlock and it's back to the ropes for Valentine, getting more heat since he can't escape fairly. Again, he sells the arm and then begs off. He goes for a kick, Santana catches it and he eats some punches and bumps back big and rolls out to stall and get some more heat, looking this way and that to the crowd and having the ref back Tito off, before running around him like he's about to fight. Tito just demolishes him in the corner and they go to break. We come back to Tito beating the crap out of Valentine, including with a neck whip Perfect style and then a great chinlock that they really work with Valentine flopping around like a fish and Tito gritting his teeth. This has been all Tito so far, but Valentine finally catches him off the ropes. This next section is about Tito ALMOST coming back, which we believe since he was able to during the shine. Valentine misses an axehandle off top to a grounded Tito but he's right back in with a kick. Tito reverses a whip but Valentine gets right out of the way. Then he pulls him out and lays in these great great shots and elbows on the apron. Tito fires back from the apron though and we go right into the finish with Jimmy on the apron during the figure four attempt and Valentine getting Tito from behind, but Muraco coming in to prevent Valentine from getting the figure four (with the shin guard on). Tons of creativity here. Tons of imagination. Selling both while in holds and after them. Some nasty looking shots when he did get to be on top, though it was a lot of stooging overall. He gave Tito a ton. He did a lot. Yes, this was 88 instead of 89, and yes it was Tito, but come on.

  11. Because there's never been a situation in wrestling where someone got to the arena as a surprise just before their match. *jack-off motions* My prediction: they bring out Wardlow with the ref. Bell rings, they start the 10-count and show the entranceway, only for MJF to run through the crowd and jump Wardlow while he's looking in that direction.

  15. I don’t see how doing business this way is going to give Max an advantage with WWE. I doubt they absolutely wouldn’t hire him, but after the last couple weeks who knows where Vince’s head is about “professionalism.” They screw with people just to see how they react all of the time anyway; I’d imagine he’d be booked like shit and frozen out of some of the backstage culture for the first year so they know how he’ll handle it. Anyway, TK needs to look in his couch cushions for some Jarrett payoff money so Wardlow can steamroll Max, then they can say Wardlow bribed Sterling to put a loser leaves town clause in the contract. I can’t think of a single substitute that would smooth any of this over (maybe I’ll be wrong by the end of the day.) I would like to know how much money Goldberg would want for taking a power bomb on no notice. The best part of using him to sub for Max would be a Sterling promo about how MJF couldn’t make it but he ran into a distant cousin at Shabbat services.

  18. Man my kids just want to see Wardlow fight MJF and Bryan Danielson do some shit. If I pay for this and Max no shows we're gonna be pissssssssed. Also... for months now my kids call Wardlow "Wardlow The Wizard." Because Wardlow sounds like some kind of great mage from Dungeons & Dragons. So if I slip and type that here - that's why.

  22. I mean, 1991 babyface Greg Valentine was pretty awesome too: But it's still more DVDVR awesome than random wrestling fan off the street awesome, so I was putting in some level of distinction there for the guy whose name sort of gives him away and that didn't seem to want to do the legwork. I'm sure as a 9-10 year old in 91-92 I didn't have a lot of use for Valentine either, but then I grew up.

  23. The buzzy term ‘generational talent’ applies to ppl like Danielson who could get over and succeed no matter what horseshit he was fed. Max Friedman has hardly had to overcome the odds in his overly protected push. Far too early to say what his legacy will look like. Shane Douglas is an apt comparison, but no way does his promo output meet that of Franchise 95-96.

  24. So the situation at the moment is… MJF is somewhere, but nobody is reporting him as having taken the flight he allegedly booked. Also some people are talking about Cody like he’s Snowball from Animal Farm. Anyways, if it turned out that Tony accidentally burned relationships or went way over his head, it’s probably not gonna get reported as long as he remains friendly with some of the wrestling news media. This never happened to Tony when he was booking TNM7 cards.

  34. If people want to mention a Nature Boy to compare MJF with, how about Buddy Landell. Buddy was damn good in the ring when he wanted to be and could talk, but also derailed his career on multiple occasions due to idiotic decision making. While I do not believe that MJF has the same out of the ring demons, this current behavior feels like Landell's move of sabotaging his JCP run in late '85/early '86.

  35. Your Meltzer hatred aside - my point was more specifically focused on the posts that just said "work", "it's a work". They aren't adding anything to a slog of a thread that is probably gonna be over 20 pages before the PPV even starts.

  39. Still better than most of the booking ideas I'm seeing thrown around. Meltzer's throw him in the Main Event and have win the title is worse than most. I'm partial to a spoof of the Twin Peaks Season 2 finale in which Wardlow smashes his head into a mirror, laughs, and says 'where's Maxy?'

  40. Sorry, but I would definitely also mean the WCW SN enhancement talent Greg Valentine who came out to the Hollywood Blondes theme, would murder jobbers with a wind-up elbowdrop to the top of the skull, took Lex Luger to the limit and took a super chokeslam from the Giant off the top rope.

  42. Yeah MJF's great. I don't understand the people comparing him to Max Caster. If you watch an MJF match and a Max Caster match and think the levels of work are comparable... I don't know what to tell you. I mean Caster still puts his hands up taking clotheslines. That's like month one stuff in training where you learn that's a major no-no and will get your forearms broken / tear your opponents biceps. Caster is a great character but bad in the ring. MJF is a great character and very good (borderline great) in the ring. No one can generate the heat MJF can in promos. And he almost always delivers in the ring. His Darby feud was great. His Punk feud was great. His Wardlow feud has been great. AEW would certainly survive without him. But he'd be leaving behind a hole that no single performer could fill. I mean maybe if you dedicate the same amount of time you could elevate Starks to fill that hole. His promos are great. His charisma is great. His matches are also very good. But he just doesn't have that same amount of TV equity yet.

  43. I think that’s the point though. For every good to great promo he cuts, he cuts another Bubba Ray in ECW promo where he’s not even being a wrestling character and is just saying the lowest shit he possibly can say. MJF is really good, but he’s also far from the most important guy in the company. And he’s wanting to get more pay now without an extension or rework of the contract, and then probably leave for WWE when his contract is up. Just let him leave for WWE now. Without his shooty promos, what is he? Is an MJF that has promos written for him by a writer and is working a program with Ezekiel the same MJF? I think MJF’s best comp is Jericho at the time Jericho went to WWE. Even Jericho had to eat so many plates of shit before Vince would take him seriously. For MJF’s sake, I hope he’s patient and is willing to jump through Vince’s hoops. Vince couldn’t even have to be convinced with MJF, but that’s the way it’s going to be. At least now he doesn’t have to convince TK.

  44. Wardlow should make quick work of whoever subs in, so they’ll get more time for the other matches. Or use that time for O’Khan in Vegas vignettes, I think we’re all pretty invested in how his lost weekend is going.

  46. I’m all for workers standing up to their bosses if they’re unhappy or whatever, but man FUCK MJF if he doesn’t show up tonight for Wardlow, you’d think those two have at least some sort of friendship by being together for the past 3 years and he’d at least come in to put him over before fucking off.
