The Fray Movement

To be fair, I think Dave Meltzer is more responsible for killing the business than anything "Russo", "Heyman," & "Bischoff" ever did. Without his newsletter, Bushiroad and its awful booking and mediocre ring work would never recieve the attention it does today. Because of "Dave", we've got "men" like "Omega" jerking around for half the year and then winning Thesz/Flair because he had three "decent" matches at the end of the most overrated round robin tournament in professional wrestling. Don't blame Paul E., or "Vince", or Eric. Blame Meltzer and probably David Bixenspan too. Dirt sheets are the worst, man.

Well the restocking of NXT iis going on big time right now, so raiding NXT to make Smackdown a great show again wouldn't be a bad idea. It really depends, if Dunn/Vince are still running both shows then it will still be shit. If Vince/Dunn focus on one and the other had a different focus then it's a whole new ball game. Smackdown already is the best weekly show they do. Vince Jr doesn't even go to Smackdown. It's run by HHH, Ryan Ward of NXT, and Brian James. It already is a completely different product than what they do and present on Monday night Raw.

Meltzer said he was eligible actually.

I actually listened to it and am quite please with how it turned out. But then I realized I didn't berry Johnny Gargano or Ethan Page and now I wanna retape it.

Agree with the points above about Gulak, and I amazed it took this single Dojo Wars match to move him about Thatcher for me as a favorite worker in this particular style. Also, I fully appreciate that Gulak used this environment to try out new things I haven't seen yet like the wacky double underhook spinning submission. I've also decided, based on this match, to seek out more Frankie Pickard just out of respect for the beating the young man took here. Great stuff in this match, and I really hope a lot more folk check it out.

Hello, brothers. I'm good brother Fray, and I'm 30 years old from the great state of Alabama. My earliest memories of pro wrestling are watching it live when I was 4 at the Lavender Coliseum in Columbus, MS. I've been a fan consistantly since 1994. My favorite wrestler of all time is Shawn Michaels. I've taken way, way too many stupid trips to watch wrestling. I may be the only person who was in the crowd at December to Dismember, Unforgiven 2008, and Money in the Bank 2011. I am a glutton for punishment, brothers. Anyway, I dislike Dragon Gate. I will fight the narrative to the bitter end that Kota Ibushi is a draw. Roman Reigns, Sasha Banks, and Moose are probably my three favorite North American performers at the moment. I have weird taste in wrestling, I guess. Oh and some would claim that I was the originator of #ShootWeek 2015 on Twitter. I love forward to the banter and the discussion, brothers, and that's a shoot.
