LOVED his gimmick as European Champion as being announced from a different city in Europe each appearance. his 2003-2004 run in TNA was surprisingly good, too. He comes in, cuts what is now the standard "i'm going to show [the previous company i worked for] that they didn't know what they had" promo. He seemed motivated in his matches to prove that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I watched a fun Al Snow/D-Lo match the other day. It was from one of the C-Shows but I can't remember which. I loved the head wiggle as a youngin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I preferred D'lo, I think Al Snow one upped him by dressing like different European counties during his entrances, including Grease and Transylvania. https://i.ibb.co/2tRvb4x/Jh-YN6t-FNK-k-U8-K-F8q-NBJEAof1-GX6ndw37-BWbt8jh-Q.jpg 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like there was a metal plate in Andretti's head and a giant magnet in PENTA's boot. He just kept zooming headlong into superkicks. It was the funniest match I've seen in a while. It's amazing when you think about it, that someone trained their body to be strong and fast and supple enough to twist and fly and contort all to the end of crashing into someone else's foot seven times in one match. Pro wrestling is the wackiest thing, really." Thank you, Matthew. Love you, Paul xxx. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your review inspired me to try my own: Bryan Danielson vs. Katsuyori Shibata. AEW Collison, 16th March 2024. Bryan Danielson vs. Katsuyori Shibata was a dream match of mine which I never thought would have happened due to the head injuries sending both into retirement. Danielson in WWE, February 2016 and Shibata in NJPW, April 2017. It's amazing both came back, Danielson in WWE, March 2018 and Shibata in NJPW, October 2021. Danielson vs. Shibata is a match I still wanted to see but with trepidation. I love Bryan Danielson, he's the Greatest of All Time but I fucking hate when he does the diving headbutts but especially the shoot headbutts. Shibata was even worse with his shoot headbutts which almost killed him in a ***** classic vs. Kazuchika Omega at NJPW Sakura Genesis 2017. What I liked about the match is the similar offences, the running dropkicks to the outside and inside the ring. I did wince at the slap exchanges with the documented head injuries of both. My favourite thing was the ending, both exchanged flash pin attempts into a Lebell Lock which Shibata countered into a pin attempt but Danielson reversed into a crucifix for the win. I watched the match back liking even more and I was high on it live. Great match! 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do wish Tony Khan booked them better post Mr. Brodie Lee's passing. A missed opportunity to give the Dark Order a feel good push putting the AEW World Tag Team Championship on John Silver/Alex Reynolds or Evil Uso/Stu Grayson, an TNT Championship on Silver also. I miss Anna Jay in the Dark Order as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could’ve done the angle where hangman accidentally costs his team the match a week or so after. But, ya know, Jackson’s gonna Jackson… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Speaking of AEW Championships, I wonder if some will change now we have a new AEW logo without "All Elite Wrestling" and the border. The AEW World Championship already doesn't have said border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about making money, not logical booking" 30 GOTO 10 Dave, who has made a career calling out bad, illogical booking, reversing to say that if it makes dollars, it doesn't need to make sense, is certainly something. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
