You forgot to mention the part where MASADA got a bye to the next round because his opponent was injured, Zandig comes out rolls him up in less than a 1 minute match then advances directly to the main event.

Kinda? Don't buy tickets unless you're at the door as the show is starting because I think he's run a couple scam shows where people bought tickets, he canceled, and they weren't refunded.

70 bucks is honestly a lot though. I agree we should be paying good money for good wrestling, and if it keeps going up all they are doing is pricing more and more people out of their shows. Not to mention its 70 bucks for a ticket you'll probably spend like 20 bucks on beer 25 on a t shirt. It's a lot for every month. I'm fine if it's just for bola, they are bringing in lots of big names I just hope this isn't the new standard.

BOLA is the Wrestlemania of the indies and if I had the opportunity to go I'd absolutely pay that much and not bat an eye. You're guaranteed three nights of the best wrestling in the world and that money helps them bring in the best wrestlers in the world.

Gabe's common theme in booking is running something into the ground so hard people stop showing up to shows. He wonders why Meltzer doesn't recommend his shows but the last time I tried actually watching a bunch of Evolve it was nothing but one hour matches with 30 false finishes and Jon Davis.

I mean, he struck gold with that Mercury Rising iPPV and then ran that poo poo into the ground too

Assuming he's cleared...

(e: Ali's head hit the railings HARD tonight at AAW, they had to cancel the match. He's okay, mild concussion according to him.)

I approve of Sami Callihan, Lucha Mask Hunter.

Tell me more about this, because back when Callihan had joined NXT and they never had anything for him, I thought bounty hunter ala TNA Samoa Joe would have been such a cool gimmick. Especially back when they were just unmasking lucha guys for no reason (Like Dr Lucha). It would have been really cool to have seen someone like Cien come in and lose his mask in a feud with Callihan if they were planning on unmasking him anyway.

I mean on the indies, or in Low-Ki's case never made it in the WWE. Chris Hero came into NXT as one of the best wrestlers in the world, it didn't work out, and he's on the indies again but he's still one of the most humble guys I've ever talked to

rovert posted:

Seriously he's lost his last five matches in five different promotions. Also had three recent title matches as promoters maybe getting one last big job out of him.

The rumors were he was rubbing coaches wrong in NXT by giving people advice while they felt like he hadn't paid his dues in the WWE right? Specifically coaches that aren't even in the WWE anymore. That, and they thought he wasn't taking things seriously because he couldn't keep his weight down.

I understand why people think he looks like poo poo since he doesn't carry his weight like Owens does but Hero might have better cardio than anyone on the main roster except for Cesaro, Cena, Styles, and some of the Cruiserweights.

I knew Colby was in trouble when they described what he had on him as paraphernalia. It's always hardcore poo poo when they use that terminology.

I'd be stunned if Hero came back. He'd have to lose a lot of weight, like 50-75 lbs. I personally don't care how much he weighs but WWE obviously does.

They probably care so much because if he were in great shape, he'd look a lot like the "WWE Guy" like Triple H or Roman Reigns, and he's one of the best in the world at wrestling, and is a good talker too. He's got height, looks good with long hair, and his beard doesn't look like poo poo. They want him to look like a superstar

My friend, you do not have to sell me on Chris Hero's greatness. The only guy keeping him from BITW is AJ Styles.

I'm just saying from a WWE perspective maybe they think they could have gotten a lot of mileage out of him if he were in better physical shape. Samoa Joe is heavy too, but he's always been like that and he carries his weight well. They don't want to start putting too many overweight average looking guys like Kevin Owens on TV because it makes the company look less like superstars?

rovert posted:

Nothing like Chris Hero or anything. Just he's signed with FloSlam and WWE can call him up at will.

I remember when we thought that Triple H cutting a deal with Gabe was supposed to be a bigger deal and there was this idea that talent would constantly be traded around to his EVOLVE shows but it only seems like guys that ended up working there were guys that were kind of just there. Is there any chance that spot could get a little bigger and NXT could send over guys kind of waiting to start or floundering in NXT because of so many signings, or are they concerned that they won't get the right type of re-training in Evolve?

Or has Gabe already burned that bridge somehow

The showrunner said on an interview this week that they want to start setting up licenses for the talent to be able to use their LU gimmicks at other indies. Which would make sense, that way they can protect their IP, and still keep the workers happy, and get free advertising. That's why I was curious how AAW were billing Cuerno, I thought it was probably too early for those agreements to be in place yet, but it was possible.

Pentagon Dark is a stupid name and his gimmick isn't any different than Pentagon Jr though, it's a silly thing to fight over. I can see some of the more exclusive gimmicks, Cobb isn't out on the indies running his Lucha Underground gimmick
