The Wrestling Thread

9 minutes, given lots of shine but also telling the story of Ospreay being more Death-Rider-ish and willing to take out a mate.

It took six years, but Brooksy finally has a 100% win record at ROH.

Worked face. Pre-match promo from his veteran opponent, and on commentary, to help set that up.

While both TNA and AEW have tolerated Dingley references, he was again introduced as hailing from Melbourne.

Extremely unsurprisingly, Motor City Machine Guns have debuted at AEW. Expect the other tag team to pop up shortly; maybe as late as Wembley.

But the crowd reaction for Willow’s title celebration shat all over MCMG: a proper 11 out of 10.

Giving a shout out to Grayson Waller for his segment on NXT.

This guy has always been super talented on the mic. He’s also super annoying. But when given a real opportunity he always gets over.

He’s probably in the top 10-15 for talent on the mic skills on the whole roster. He’s ok in the ring. But hopefully he tears NXT apart over the next few months.

everything about him screams main eventer.

So impressive.

how skinny did Gunther look next to him?

@theDJR how long did he spend in Australia? It was like 2021 or something?

Don’t recall that.

He made the NWA Title relevant again.

I think Aldis spent a couple of months with BCW.

Brooksy on the pre-show for ROH’s Death Before Dishonour PPV. Against El Phantasmo.

Dingley not mentioned during his entry.

(Steph de Lander is on the main show, bizarrely in a Pure Rules match.)

Yep, keep that ■■■■ well away from me, thanks.

Tome “Phillip” (FFS, that’s not how you pronounce Filip) on ROH this week. Got put over huge by commentary, and then his team and he were summarily jobbed out in quick time.

That was five stars once their entrances were done; add as many more as you like to add on top for the match.

The whole Ospreay entrance just gave you chills. Fantastically done!

In the early days of AEW, Butcher and Blade (and Bunny) corresponded heavily with improved ratings.

Well, so the meme went.

I didn’t follow his wrestling at all but he’s been my favourite guitarist for years and on the small number of occasions I was able to chat with him he was extremely generous with his time. He was just a really wonderful man and considering the regularity with which musicians in that sphere are found to have been utter scumbags, the loss of a good bloke is all the worse.
