AEW commentary addressing and putting over Daniel Garcia's work on the indies in the days leading up to Dynamite was so refreshing. Another sign of how AEW canon essentially is pro wrestling canon. If it happened, it happened. Japanese wrestling has always been that way too.

Personally I'm all for Keith Lee at 37 years old going a little more towards power moves and being a big man and holding back on the flying/movement compared to what he was doing at 32 years of age on the indies. I don't see how this is a bad thing at all.

After a good night's sleep, it's as clear to me as it was in the moment that Devlin vs Starr was one of the best matches I've ever seen. The atmosphere was indescribable. The pair of them were wrestling out of their skin, physically, mentally and emotionally. Men possessed.

I genuinely feel sorry for the big lad. He's now behind the 8 ball from the jump. Very unfair to put him in that spot. Based on the limited physicality he's clearly a mile away from being ready.

You can sense he's starting to understand wrestling on a different level now and it's so exciting to him. He's not going to get away from doing cool stuff as that is important to him but he can now complement it so much more.

Very sad to hear about the passing of "The All Around Best" Xavier (I loved that nickname). He was such a talented guy and his matches with Paul London & Jay Briscoe may well be the most underrated matches in early @ringofhonor history. RIP

Quackenbush and Low Ki representing the late 90s indy scene really well today I see. Your turn Mike Modest!

Bryan was 24 here Roderick was 20. Didn't seem weird then. Seems absolutely mental now.

I feel so genuinely bad for the good people left in ROH. Ian, Cabana, Gresham, Cobb and others. They were let down hard by their company last night. On a show where they could have really got things rolling, they made it so I never want to watch their product again. It's sad.

every year I think about this at least once and every year it gets more amazing that it was a thing that actually happened. I know everyone involved has said how much they regretted it (oddly with the exception of Jay haha).

I'm not sure people properly realise how freakishly good Colten Gunn is for his experience level. He's had 105 matches and his first year was during the peak of the pandemic. He has no right to be this good. His movements are as natural as they come.

This is amazing. Animal Hamaguchi's gym was the starting point for so many great pro wrestling careers. Shingo Takagi is the fourth disciple to win the IWGP Heavyweight Title, following Kojima, Naito and EVIL. Two Triple Crown champs too (Kojima and Omori).

There was that time when they made a deal to do shows in a country with horrific human rights issues run by a murderous dictatorship who wouldn't let you in because of your race. I mean that would have really hurt your positioning in the rankings.

I am making a documentary exposing the conspiracy by @WWE against me. It’s clear there was a coordinated effort to oust me as Intercontinental Champion. Since wrestling fans have great memories, can you think of instances where WWE stacked the deck against me over the years?

Remember a few years ago when the biggest local government issue effecting WrestleMania weekend was whether or not the lads could do some piledrivers. Ahhh simpler times.

I want to die from second hand embarrassment. Just was out for a walk and heard the Tesco delivery man *I think* flirting with two of my neighbours which included the following exchange: "Where are you from girls?" "Italy" "Ah Italia! SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE!" Yes he did the accent

Jay White becoming an elite snappy US TV worker with 99% of his experience being in Japan working long drawn out matches (for the most part) is really quite a testament to what a natural wrestler he is.

If I'm going to criticise, I'm certainly going to give praise when there's an immediate course correction. I mean that's what you're looking for when you give constructive criticism or simply vent on something like I did below (1/2)

Fucking hell MJF and his hold the mic up desperately to get a shit unfunny chant over makes me never want to watch wrestling again out of pure mortification. It's pray that someone doesn't walk into the room level entertainment.
