sportsgenius86 posted:Just left the Wrestling Revolver show in Dayton. Really fun overall. Naito-Elgin was good but Elgin got the most genuine gently caress you hear I’ve ever heard live and it was constant the entire match. Did he take the bait or did he pretend to not care? I get the impressions from the social media thread that his skin is mighty thin.

He didn’t take the bait per se but you could tell he was really pissed. It was mostly a lot of booing, gently caress you, go away and you’re a piece of poo poo. The “you should loving die” stuff was primarily from one dude who was behind me who relentlessly poo poo on him the entire match. Also, he was the only name dude who wasn’t selling merch or meeting with anyone and the rumor in line prior to the show was that he wasn’t even going to be there.

He probably only did the booking so as to not gently caress things up with NJPW in general (and Naito personally), who don't seem to care about his issues here. It's interesting, I know his ultimate goal for a while was to be a regular Japan talent. We even mocked him when the scuttlebutt during one of the first joint ROH/NJPW shows was that Gedo and co. were unimpressed with him. Then he got to his goal, and I wondered if he'd gently caress it up somehow, but I never pictured this or anything like it, I figured if it didn't work it'd be a culture clash or he'd piss off a top guy by saying or doing the wrong thing. I wonder if Naito had some questions about WTF just happened out there afterwards. There's no way that's what he was expecting, unless Mike warned him.

Naito really didn’t look surprised and it didn’t affect the match at all but it’s impossible to tell for sure how he felt by it. There was no support for Elgin at all though. Either hatred or nonchalance.

NOVA Pro's "Cupid's Chokehold" last night was a solid show. It feels like they've been hitting their niche which is a fine workrate with good character work and comedy. That's what you want when you see a local wrestling show. I don't need indie geeks trying to do a super indie five star match all night. Graham Bell did do a top rope tope con giro to cap off a series of dives in the opening six-man scramble, so he jumped up on my radar. He's been here a few times and he has an air bazooka but he didn't have it last night, people in the crowd asked him about it and he said someone stole it. John Kermon was supposed to be one of the competitors in the scramble but Cain Justice ran out and destroyed him before he could get in the ring. Cain didn't wrestle so I guess he drove all the way up here just to do a one minute beat down. Alexander James vs Jaxon Stone was very good. I wouldn't mind James leaving the 1% stable and feuding with Logan Easton Laroux. Jordynne Grace vs Isla Dawn vs Laynie Luck was very good. Isla was making her debut in the promotion and got over well. She did a dragon sleeper in the camel clutch position where she hooked her arms behind her own back. https://twitter.com/AwesomestBen/status/964673734509461505 LuFisto vs Faye Jackson was LuFisto managing to get a decent match out of Faye, against the odds. LuFisto got over as a heel by saying gently caress in front of a kid. And it was just great to see LuFisto wrestling because she announced on Thursday that she's battling cervical cancer. Ugly Ducklings vs The Hooligans brought the house down. The Ducklings coach guy was here for the first time I think. One of the Hooligans did a flip and the crowd lost their poo poo. Match was good. Post-intermission a yelling things guy had moved seats to be right behind me and it made the second half of the show a little worse. Logan Easton Laroux vs Wheeler YUTA was good, YUTA got way over going against the top heel and the crowd thought he was going to win. Logan cheated to win. "Safety First" Tim Donst vs War Horse Jake Parnell was good with a hot crowd. Parnell actually got heat by saying "safety last." Tim Donst has gotten the Safety First character over to the point that he could do nothing but the bits and do a roll-up and everyone would go home happy. He wouldn't have to take a single bump. But he's Tim Donst so after the 5-10 minutes of the character he still does a good wrestling match. The Carnies (Nick Iggy and Kerry Awful) vs Pow Meow (Allie Kat and Christi Jaynes) was the match of the night. It was awesome because the Carnies are perfect at character work and everyone involved knew to make it just a little about intergender but mostly just wrestling. The actual story was that the Carnies didn't want to fight a cat. Christi has challenges as a worker but they accounted for it in the construction of the match. Main event was Arik Royal vs Gunner Miller. Match was fine but it went 18 minutes after the show had already been going for over 3 hours on a Friday night. I was kinda done by that point, and it was hard to get up again after I was so high on the previous match. Also the yelling guy behind me spent the entire match yelling "LET'S GO TENNESSEE" and "LET'S GO ALABAMA" for some reason. Gunner won with a Jackhammer, so I guess after Royal went 2 years it NOVA without losing until he lost to Logan in last year's Commonwealth Cup final, he can lose now sometimes if they need to put someone over. Overall it was a show that was consistent top to bottom with good matches. Worth a look on SMV or Powerbomb or whatever later if you just want to check out what a good indie that's not "super indie" can look like in 2018. Next show set is on 3/10 where they have an afternoon try-out show followed by the night show that is all women.

Thanks for the writeup on that, I was hoping to get to that show but nobody I'm visiting right now wanted to go. Sounds like it was good though, I'll try to find it on wherever they upload to.

So I decided to watch that free MLW show, and they did a package showing the title tourney participants. Then they threw to the announcers. Some guy..... And Tony Schiavone?! How long has this been a thing?

They absolutely cut that match short due to the reaction. Elgin seemed content to try to use the boos as heel heat, but the crowd just went silent after the initial uproar and the wrestlers quickly wrapped things up after going a couple minutes to the sound of crickets. It was a real low point on a show that also featured Scarlett Bordeaux taking an insane black hole slam.

aaw now says it was their choice to use him and basically it sounds like they thought he had good heat at revolver not bad heat. also from other peoples tweets it sounds like the promoter probably got worked by whatever tumblr evidence is in mike’s lawsuit. now they’re back to saying they won’t use him after 12 hours of backlash https://twitter.com/aawdannydaniels/status/965293200930983936

I'm dreading New Japan being dumb enough to put him on the Long Beach show. Although hearing JR and Barnett try and explain why the crowd is screaming profanity at him might be perversely entertaining.

Based on what Daniel Bryan says, we could probably see Ellsworth and Joey have a lightsaber battle.
