Tana in, Tana in my mind.



I just realized that the LaSalle shows will help with AAW's storytelling. Plenty of time to build up title matches/number one contenders/plot with the extra shows. I'm happy that Lee/Everett won the tag belts but their title shot came out of nowhere.

I am only familiar with yehi and fox how good is everyone else

Dezmond Xavier is a super athletic high flyer waiting to break out
Anthony Henry is a southern guy who post-smarks rave about
Darby is Evolve's new prospect (like less than 50 matches in his entire career new) who is getting crazy over taking disgusting bumps with a losing streak gimmick
Dave Crist is one half of OI4K/The Irish Airborne who get a lot of work doing fun spotfests and flippy brawls in b-level indies
Sammy Guevera i'm not that familiar with but I've seen him on a couple texas and lucha shows and he's ok. Good to see that scene starting to break out

austin theory is a complete unknown to me but gabe posted a picture of him



seems like a lot of these guys are destined for the revamped FIP which they keep promoting as a much wilder show. The last couple newsletters he sent out specifically said it "would not be suitable for all audiences" lol. Shame they fired Joey Styles huh

Allin is a tiny crazy bump machine with a seeming death wish, he will achieve great things assuming he isn't killed in the ring. Dave Crist is a rich man's Sami Callihan. Dezmond Xavier is a super promising young guy who has been working in PWX and AAW a bunch.

I've heard awesome things about Anthony Henry, have not seen him yet. Never heard anything about Guevara or Theory.

favorite thing about austin theory is that he's going for the jacked pretty boy look despite having a heinous soul patch and probably being 5'4"

I'll always maintain that the real peak for PWG was the summer of 2014, when they capitalized on Joey and Candice, Ricochet, and pushed Kyle before anyone else did. Maybe continuing the Steen/Generico feud was big, but nothing else.

I saw Austin Theory earlier this month in a triple threat against Chip Day and Cam Carter. I feel confident in saying he was in the top three wrestlers in that match.

Chip Day is actually really good, though, and his match against David Starr for the wXw Shotgun Championship was match of the night, imo, at PWX Season's DELETEings.

It feels like Dave and Jake Crist have been around forever.
When did they change from Irish Airbourne to Ohio is 4 Killers? (I always want to pronounce it Oik)

I wanna say sometime around 2011. Around the time they were getting booked in CZW more regularly.

I just think Crist is more well rounded in the ring. Sami in AAW has been fun though.

The bench day wrist wraps put him into super-heel mode for me. I bet he's the guy benching 185 with wraps on and a belt.

He worked the VIP show last week he was green but looked good.

Sammy G is loving awesome and hopefully he gets some eyeballs on him after this

I've never watched their youtube stuff but I've been to a few of their live shows in Newcastle (and going to the next one to see BROKEN matt hardy) and have enjoyed every show.

They always have a good selection of high tier British indie lads and then one or two money mark gets. Seeing Minoru Suzuki live in Newcastle was amazing.

Good to know when I'm passing by. Never was much into their YouTube stuff but they seem to really love wrestling.
