Look for every indie wrestler point towards Tyson Fury's sit up to justify all no selling.

Sammy is somewhere between no longer being signed to AroLucha and maybe being signed with MLW. https://twitter.com/sammyguevara/status/1069137156130582528

SalTheBard posted:What is the best GCW shows this year? I have wanted to get into it since All In and no time like the present Tournament of Survival and NGI if you like death matches, followed by Tha G Code. Spring Break is obviously good if you like the Janela stuff but I wasn't blown away by Lost in NY or the LA show, except for Gage vs Arquette.

my experience with GCW is that if you don't like deathmatch stuff, the non-Joey Janela produce stuff is not for you. They book a lot of dudes that would not exist if it weren't for deathmatch friendly promotions. And Shlak, a dude that shouldn't exist at all.

It's both great and terrible how easy it is for dream matches to happen now. On one hand, hell yeah because they can happen whenever wherever and everyone can see them before someone gets injured or signed to some exclusive contract elsewhere. But on the other hand, it's just dream match after dream match with no hype or build other than the intrigue of seeing two guys go at it. Like, I know they're going to happen in whatever random indie can book them to happen so there isn't always going to be the potential to build a story but how many of these big Pac matches are going to be easy to remember after he has a dozen straight dream matches?

I can understand the Cornette/Lance Storm side of things where matches need a build, but is it really that different from the territory days where the big names were all traveling and working on their names alone? I doubt Andre and Junkyard Dog had actual angles going on when they'd show up in a terrritory for like 3 weeks

Plus JYD's pre-WWE career is split into two spots: Calgary, where he had a "Where the white women at" type character and was called Big Daddy Ritter, and Louisiana/Mid South, where was a top babyface for Bill Watts.

Plus territories ran more than once or twice a month so they had more opportunities to set up angles and build to interesting matches.

Maybe JYD is a bad example and I should have used The Sheik or someone like that instead, I forgot he was that limited to those areas. But still, there had to be a ton of traveling guys who just worked off of name value alone. Big Ernie Ladd maybe?

will you accept all elite wrestling sucking its own wiener very strongly throughout all shows, as long as they hire scott steiner to be the top level on-screen and off-screen authority figure? I will do so.
