It kind of kills the gimmick that that guy sent in the video himself when it has EXECUTIVE PRODUCER: William Patrick Corgan underneath it

EDIT: Your next NWA World's Heavyweight Champion:

Jocephus and Storm, forever and ever, a hundred years Jocephus and Storm.

I really liked this promo. I think the censoring of the swearing adds to it in some weird way. Like some indie guy getting all his f-words in is nothing special but it feels more like he's lost his cool in what's supposed to be a professional environment or something.

E: actually you know what it reminds me of, one of those loving weirdos who call into talk radio shows and completely lose their cool, and I think that's the kind of thing this character would do so it works for me.

Is the NWA doing anything during Wrestlemania weekend? Not that they'd be able to do much with a roster of three regulars, but are they leaching onto some other show to do a title match? It'd be very much in line with the rest of the run so far to just forget to plan anything for it.

the "Aldis Crusade" has no announced dates between Philadelphia on March 24th and Wenzhou on April 14th so I'm assuming they've kept those dates open for Wrestlemania weekend.

I think the Wenzhou title defence is against Colt Cabana but China does have Middle Kingdom Wrestling and Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (who I think have some sort of relationship with Dragon Gate)

Are they still doing the creepy angle with Flip and Brandi?

I think Brandi turned on him at some indie show where if Flip won he'd get booked for All In.

I'm rooting for Aldis because Flip blocked me on Twitter after he vanity searched and found me saying I was going to amputate my toe for tapping along with his theme.

People still perpetuating the "quiet, Japanese wrestling crowd" myth because they couldn't get over when we all saw Okada/Naito are ridiculous. Like even when The Bucks were doing it, it was still enough of a niche interest that they could get away with saying it but now when more people are watching NJPW than have ever watched a Nick Aldis match, it's baffling.

Also Nick Aldis complaining about the fetishisation of anything when he's the champion of an 80s studio wrestling cargo cult fed is funny.

SamuraiFoochs posted:

I mean there's a part of it that I sort of agree with? I'm not talking WWE but in terms of overall I don't think NJPW is light years ahead of AEW in terms of product quality or anything. They're different flavors at times, but they're both the absolute class of their particular art forms.

You only really need to go look at the MOTYC thread to see that people aren't making GBS threads on AEW because it's not Japanese though.
