My body is ready for the Freshly Squeezed (tm) carnage coming to AEW. BRING ON THE BLOOD JUICE BATH. The fact he can do a perfect kip up with hands in his pocket never fails to amaze me.

He should be rechristened “Florida” Orange Cassidy and form the New World Orange with the Best Friends.

This whole discussion reminded me that I read thorught the tweeter thread of Jim Cornette complaining about the "invisible" spears.
It was quite something.

I don't know if I'm more surprised that Gangrel's still wrestling or that he's still using the "Gangrel" name.

People bring up the overall downturn of wrestling and include Japan while forgetting that the Japan scene fell specifically because even as it tried to present itself as a realistic product MMA came on the scene and completely destroyed that vision, thus wrestling in Japan had to at least to some degree reintroduce and reinvent itself just a little bit. I'm pretty sure something similar would have happened in the US if wrestling kept on the same path as it had in the 1980s.
Orange Cassidy is a great talent and can go as far as he'll want to depending on how much work he really wants to put in. Hes a pretty great worker and honestly hes in better shape than 80% of the roster.

I still haven't listened to his post-mortum of Mance Warner support. I'm sure it's pretty much everything I'd expect but I am curious how his commentary on MLW changes seeing how open he is to burying people he doesn't like.

All I read from him about Mancer he was his tweet saying how he regrets ever praising Mancer and that to not worry because he won't ever do it again. Like geez man you could just say "I disaprove,he is better than that" the guy doesn't start sucking because of it.

This thread has been an interesting read.
But hell, another attractive guy I'll get to see every week on TV?! No complaints here.
Yes, I am that shallow. But I also love the gimmick and think it's brilliant.

Schiavone has been on color for the past couple episodes.

Sure wrestling peaked then. So did comics peak in the past,things peak with age that is normal. But even then Wrestling is a much bigger world-wide thing than it was back then No, it absolutely is not. Neither of the two Mexican promotions are as strong as they were at their peak, New Japan still isn't anywhere close to where it was in the mid-'90s when it was selling out 5 Dome shows in one year, Europe is far off from its peak, Australia and New Zealand have no national scenes like they once did, and of course there's less money and fewer viewers and paying customers for American wrestling than there was at any time in the territory days. Okay no, Australia no longer has a national scene because WCW went off TV in 1974 and they relied on TV ratings. These days the Australian scene is healthy and thriving specifically because they don't have to worry about whether they'll stay on TV or not.

In retaliation, Vince has just signed Orange Julius to a 5 year, $5,000,000 contract.

I mean, arguably the hottest acts in wrestling right now are a deranged children's show host who turns into a monster clown and a dinosaur. Hey now. That dinosaur has a Master's Degree.

Watching that again, I did not notice Jungle Boy's reaction to those kicks.
It makes it so much better.
