And the Justia database backs that up, so either they really just don't care (doubtful if they renewed the trademark in January with no obvious plans to use it for themselves) or they're warming up to smack MLW with a great big C&D. They were billed as the Spirit Squad back in KoT '14 and have been running around with the name since then, so the whole thing is weird. On a more positive note, I hear my dude Douglas James got signed. Hadn't heard that name in a while, I know he was pretty seriously injured at one point, but I'm glad to see him back and given a good platform. He was doing good stuff pre-injury for CWFH.

Only thing I cant get around is Simon Gotch trying to be a badass. Doesnt work Agreed. If he did more of a Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert type character where he let the big guys do the heavy lifting, but was the loudmouth opportunist who picked up the scraps, he’d be a much better heel. Samael and Fatu seem like legit serial killers while Gotch seems like Gotch.

Douglas James signing is great news for him. I’ve gotten to work with him on a number of occasions and the dude is always a class act. Here’s hoping he blows up big like Brody did and goes far.

Everyone should go out of their way to see Davey Boy vs. Thatcher. Fantastic match.

Gotch at the very least needs to go back to wearing a singlet.

I was hoping Mance would chainsaw the whiteboard in half. *shrug*

Konnan seriously looked pregnant on the last show. Hope his health's not going bad again.
Boring main event. Vega really doesn't need to be wrestling anymore because he moved slow and landed badly on his legs from that Nightmare Pendulum.

In keeping with the spirit of the thread title, I'll say what I did like on the most recent show now:
The Bestia/Horus match was fun, and I thought the segments with Warner teasing a chainsaw on the whiteboard and Pillman Jr. failing to moonsault on the bed were hilarious.
The Opera Cup tournament has me intrigued.

Shouldve called Tommy Dreamer again, even though he is overexposed he can still do better than Savio.

Hey now, that's the man who was momentarily in Stone Cold Steve Austin's way, as well as THE runner-up to the King of the Ring won by illustrious performer Mabel. ... But, yeah. Savio looked very much like the stereotype of a past-his-prime guy. Kind of a bummer to see Kwang in such position. And dear goodness, that finisher looked like a life-long limp inducer.

Yeah, Savio is probably best utilized as a backstage agent and commentator at this point. Maybe even as an on-camera business partner with Konnan to bring in more talent from Mexico and Puerto Rico.
The Spirit Squad thing was probably because it's a one-off. (I'm sure they'll get some leeway for it considering MLW sold their claims to the War Games name to WWE and WWE didn't sue Impact when a still-contracted Rhino debuted.) If they become regular talent, either it'll get changed to The Squad (which I think they wound up using in House of Hardcore for their Twitch show) or a different name.

The guy who shouted "HEY BITCH!" at MJF deserves all the wins.

Oh, that Savio/Hammerstone match was complete buns, and for once, not all that was on Hammerstone being terrible. Savio should be nowhere near a ring at this point.

Yea Hammerstone couldn't get Savio up high enough for his finisher. I rewatched that part 3 times cause I was sure Savio broke his leg/legs.
