Been digging some stuff this weekend and just not been posting actively on it. DDT was a blast, Kaiju Big Battle is always worth catching, and Stardom is on now, where clearly whoever was in last f***ed up the ring, so the show is going to start super late and the commentary team is having to give an impromptu history lesson on joshi just to try and fill space. It's 25 minutes late and it took them 24 minutes to get the audio in both channels instead of just the right.

The commentary is making me beg for Michael Cole though this is brutal

Finishing up IMPACT. Admittedly I haven't watched IMPACT in a long, long time but it surprises me that the production (or lack of) and stream is easily the worst I've seen this weekend. Every other show was like 5-star production compared to this. Just finished it as well, was also surprised by the production. Last few times I’ve watched them, productions been excellent. That being said, that show was typical Impact wrestling. And by that, I mean an entertaining show top to bottom with nothing particularly bad but nothing particularly memorable, and nothing I feel I need to tell people to go out of their way to see. On to RevPro now!
They let Wrestlepro handle the Production, thats why It looked like crap.

So I just got back from the DDT show and I'll say its the best event I've ever seen live. Everything 100% delivered and it was just so much fun. I was really happy with how over Dino was and it was so great to meet him. So important question... Are you a former heavymetalweight champion? I saw about 6 or 7 heavymetalweight championship changes and two changes of the KO-D Openweight championships that included a cash in of their version of money in the bank.

That makes sense then

He's just rarely speaking up, and in that space we get Jim Valley talking about how Britt Baker is a "real dentist, not like Isaac Yankem" and that weird Mary Sue bit where he wanted to complain about Rey from Star Wars for like zero reason.

Tanahashi/Ospreay vs Suzuki/Sabre was as good as you'd expect it to be.
Aussie Open maybe in line for an IWGP JR Tag shot

I loved seeing Stardom here in the U.S(especially with the proper Yurie intros)...Wish I didn’t live on the opposite side of the country and could have seen it live.

Don Callis calling this straight as he possibly could is the absolute best. Especially with the DDT battle royal going on, I was almost dying of laughter

Great show. Tony Deppen worked a really good match against a guy with no legs. Nick Gage/Shinjiro Otani was shockingly good as well.

I honestly though Gage/Otani was okay, but the worst match of the show. Maybe it was just being stuffed next to people and everything getting to me, even though it was still enjoyable. That death match though. First live death match and HOLY SHIT that was an experience. So crazy that we had somebody near me faint and she had to be taken out.

Just finished Spring Break. Great show, worth the price. Deathmatch was nuts, and Jimmy Lloyd is super lucky. You can tell they were pressed for time as they were flying through shit.
I really liked Gage vs. Otani.
I had only seen clips, and didn't get it but now I'm sold on Orange Cassidy.
The scramble was what you expect a scramble to be. Jungle Boy looks just like his dad.
