Pretty sure Wahoo McDaniel had more then just two great strap matches

I went on the Ringer Masked Man Show to talk Terry https://t.co/2PDo0MBMGI

As someone who put the DVDVR New Japan set together, there was plenty of Inoki stinkers, we just didn't put them on the set. If he was working someone below him in the hierarchy, he would take a bunch of their stuff, shrug it off, hit an enzigiri and pin them. Big match Inoki rules, but I have to go Hash here, I have his bandana hanging in my closet, I just can't be impartial

I reviewed all of the FU-TEN here http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2020/09/complete-and-accurate-battlarts-and.html

I am pretty sure we only have that one Mendoza match on tape, and he is pretty old and also awesome. V3 is an all-timer of a wrestler, but Mendoza had a pretty titanic rep, so not sure we can say that. Also, even though I am a legendary Dustin fan, I would have a hard time definitively putting him ahead of Dusty.

He is a guy who should be in trios matches, not sure why they are doing so many singles matches with him

I am guessing he taped this weeks ROH before Dynamite because it was right after the PPV, I would assume they are going back to Universal soon

Got a chance to interview Eddie Kingston for the Ringer. https://www.theringer.com/2023/4/1/23666008/eddie-kingston-roh-supercard-of-honor-claudio-castagnoli-feud-interview

Danielson had an excellent 60 minute match with Hangman. Page, and MJF is way smarter in ring guy then Page

I went on the Masked Man show to do a Wrestling Trade Deadline pod, maybe the most fun I have ever had doing a pod https://t.co/qR6XvG1oRl

Hell, yeah 22 years late, but awesome you are beating the 01 Low-KI drum

The Ringer did a piece on 5 hidden gem Jay Briscoe matches https://www.theringer.com/2023/1/21/23564815/slug-jay-briscoe-the-briscoes-ring-of-honor-five-lesser-known-pro-wrestling-matches

The Acclaimed are maybe the hottest act in AEW

I wrote up Muta vs. Nakamura for the Ringer, don't think it was really a MOTYC or anything, but I really dug it

Mine just dropped over at The Ringer https://www.theringer.com/2022/12/28/23529263/best-pro-wrestling-matches-2022 Want to see other folks lists, thoughts on what I had too high and too low etc.

Pentagon match was awesome too, really one of the greatest retirement tours in wrestling history. Also shouldn't Villano V have a thread too?

I have seen LA Park live twice in the last couple of months at local Denver Lucha show, he comes off as a huge star in that local show atmosphere, just so awesome to watch him do his random house show match with ref shtick and belt shots. He has the huge main event matches, but also is amazing in a small room

Danielson really broke out at the Super 8 and King of the Indies. He won a BOLA too

In preparation for Final Battle I wrote up some of the greatest Dog Collar matches of all time for The Ringer https://www.theringer.com/2022/12/10/23502948/best-dog-collar-matches-in-pro-wrestling-history

I am going to be a regular part of the new Ringer Wrestling show feed. Here I am on the Masked Man Monday https://www.theringer.com/2022/11/28/23482738/sami-zayn-backs-the-bloodline-at-wargames

To be fair, worrying about someone shooting on you doesn't imply that they could beat you in a fight, if one person is cooperating, and the other person is looking to hurt their opponent, there are plenty of ways you can fuck someone up without being tougher.

I think the story of the initial WON HOF class was just Meltzer and John D. Williams BSing on a flight to Japan. I didn't sense they put a ton of thought into it, outside of one guy saying how about Cornette, and the other guy saying "sounds good"

He has already shown that he can work good main event matches with good opponents. His matches with JD McDonough, Gunther and Trevor Lee were all great and as good or better then a lot of the Roman title defense. I wouldn't want to have him carrying anyone, but giving him the title and solid hands to defend it against would work good. I would just bring him in with the Creeds as sort of a Varsity Squad to feud with the Bloodline. Would be way more interesting then Cody's tired bullshit.

BTW I wrote this for the Ringer https://www.theringer.com/2022/9/5/23338456/cm-punk-aew-all-out-2022-media-scrum-young-bucks-adam-page-explainer My first top of the site piece

Agreed, you do everything you can to defuse the situation before you start firing anyone.
