I have no clue what point you're trying to make.

I think the point he's trying to make is that PWG's backstage might use their cult favorite status to lowball their talent in exchange for a sort of PWG bump of internet recognition that might help them get booked more easily elsewhere. I would say the fact that PWG is able to get such a wide variety of world-class workers is solid evidence that they pay reasonable rates, but then again people still work for TNA.

Okay but even if that were true you could only lowball a guy so many times, right? Ricochet, Ospreay, O'Reilly, Hero and Liger aren't working BOLA for an internet rub.

I agree, it's a weak argument.

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.

When tickets sell out within an hour I'm not sure the price is the biggest factor in keeping people out.

Brody is a big time upper mid carder here at MLW so I'm glad he's starting to get big exposure at the top tier Indies. I really like him, he can fly for his size, he's got a good nasty streak but is also pretty easy to cheer for. The next MLW show has a fans bring the weapons match between Joey Janela and Darby, what goofy weapon should I try and get on there for you goons.

The biggest bummer about All In is how it wastes Daniels on Amell. If it was him facing Okada while Marty had a tag with Amell against Best Friends or something it'd be way more interesting

I'm just baffled at how many people are sleeping on Okada/Marty, as if it's not exactly the kind of cool, fresh matchup we wouldn't see otherwise (maybe in RevPro or something, but New Japan isn't booking that match anytime soon).

When did we start pretending that Marty isn't one of the best wrestlers in the world?

He's in a junior division where he's like the fifth best worker and he's got a repellent schtick, so it's easy to forget what merits he might have

I hope someone books Cobb and Daisuke Sekimoto together or against each other sometime in my lifetime, because I feel like either of them could suplex the entire ring if they wanted to.

The Gargano/Ciampa matches would probably have more impact if their entire history wasn't "we got put together in a tournament, did tags for two years, and then lost the titles, so now we're trying to straight up murder each other"
