Montez is rolly-shoulders guy, right? That's a gimmick with legs.

Or shoulders. Whichever

Ember's promos/acting make it really hard to get behind her character.

When she was being hyped and first showed up I was expecting her to be a silent badass type and I kinda wish that's the way they had gone.

The local jobber is a pretty popular indie wrestler in the Chicago region called Robert "Ego" Anthony. A year ago, Mustafa Ali, Robert Anthony and Ruby Riot (Sally Stitches) all seemed like the top 3 perfect local talent to move on to NXT. I think Anthony ended needing to do family stuff?

Names to remember 12 months from now would be G.P.A, Stevie Fierce and Isaiah Valazquez. Space Monkey has been getting popular out here, but I think he's based out of Toronto.

Robert Anthony had a developmental deal back in the FCW days so I doubt he's due for another. He's been around a long time, was really a CZW guy mostly I think. Was AAW's first and second-ever champion before Tyler Black, Kevin Steen, Silas Young, etc.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the outcome Ciampa insisted upon. He did a lot of spots inadvisable for a healthy worker

Dave is a big fan of women's wrestling, but I have seen no evidence that he has watched any significant amount of current joshi for many years. Notice when he talks about it he will usually throw in an "I hear", or "is said to be".

I'm sure he watched enough to properly evaluate that Shirai and Meiko are the best females in the world and probably both top 15 active wrestlers right now

It's great that the two matches that dorks will whine the most about that quarter star both included a total header on a dive.

Untelatedly, Aleister Black busted out a No Mercy classic further cementing his status as my current favorite wrestler.
