this is dumb as poo poo imo. walters chops and strikes dont look so significantly better than everyone elses that it excuses him stiffing people as hard as he can.

They look great every time I see them and it gets over like crazy. Also Walter rules and no one has been seriously hurt other than some superficial bruising which happens literally every match.

Stiffing people is only a problem if they themselves have said to their opponent don't want to work stiff.

I think Flip Gordon is a massive tool but there’s no denying he’s gotten better.

Only losers and dweebs do that “ooo the earth is flat” stuff and call that heel work. Same with that Del Low Rent chick they got down in MLW.

walter stiffing the poo poo out of guys has gotten a bunch of his opponents way more over. dragunov, sammy guevara, hell it's in no small part responsible for making pco one of the hottest guys on the indies right now. obviously pco being a crazy person was a big factor in that match as well, and he's taken the ball and ran with it since, but the photos of him with the purple chest afterwards was huge in promoting the buzz around that match.

Not sure who is producing Dojo Pro but I do like the personal vignettes, the episodes are short enough and the dark lighting helps hides the fact that there's not much of an audience.

He signed a 2 year deal a few months ago, just before bringing his lawsuit. That ax ain't looming.

From Swann to Enzo to Elgin..has anyone's situation improved?

Swann got signed to TNA at least for some shows (I don't remember seeing a tweet from them touting him being there full-time/long-term), Enzo believes he's been validated with the investigation being dropped, and Elgin got a midcard title run in New Japan

Elgin's probably the only one I'd say no to because he seems like the only one of the three who's genuinely upset about fan response to him. Swann I don't get the impression he cares, and Enzo absolutely is making it obvious he doesn't care

Enzo's trying to get that edgelord money, which in today's climate might actually be long and profitable.
Elgin's a warm body for the G1 bracket.
Swann's on shows no one watches unless they're being paid to report on them. And wrestling journalists.

I started watching Dojo Pro. I am up to the Brandon Cutler episode.
The format is cool. The story telling in between matches is cool.
The actual wrestling is meh.

I wonder if that's a risk/feature of the structure of the season. The better workers are all at the top of the ladder. (Like, I've heard a lot about Janela, but I've never heard him mentioned as a top level worker in-ring)

Janela's been in one man seminars with a lot of top flight guys. He's leagues better than the average indie journeyman but by no means a master of the craft.

I suppose it's a subjective distinction, but I would consider Janela one of the top indie guys in terms of overall craft. People get caught up in the goofy stuff, but he has a really good mind for putting a match together.

Janela is ranked at 8 out of 12 in Dojo Pro and the show states that it is because while he is popular for daredevil theatrics, he has to prove that he can wrestle.
Jeff Cobb is ranked #1 which is the right choice.

Yeah, I am not a big Flip fan but if you objectively compare the two it's not even close. Aldis is very handsome and has the British accent going for him. That's about it.

Flip is surprisingly over and gets booked at a lot of promotions.

Flip can do his finish without forgetting how to properly apply it, Aldis, otoh, pulled a Disco Inferno and forgot how to apply his own move in a recent title defence. And it's not like the Cloverleaf is a tough move to apply.

Flip is also probably still growing as a wrestler, Aldis has probably gotten about as good as he's going to get. If you can't learn and improve from being Samoa Joe's partner, it says a lot about your work.

Aldis is one of those guys Stephanie McMahon would go crazy about for a few weeks until they hit the ring and then they'd disappear.

Not just Joe, but also Doug Williams during the British Invasion angle. Then again, any positives he got from hanging with Doug Williams might have been eliminated by the negatives he got from hanging with Rob Terry.

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

Success of a talent like Flip Gordon reminds you that NXT is sucking up so much indie royalty, and the LU alums can only be in so many places at the same time

Not that him vying for the NWA title isn’t indicative of where he should be. It’s more a sign of the times that the prospective NWA champion is no longer a Tim Storm nobody
