I have a New Japan based Facebook page with like 700 followers so there is a good springboard for an audience. I currently do a non-wrestling Podcast so I have equipment, I can edit, etc. Hell, it’d give me an excuse to catch up on NJPW, so I’d be down with that as long as we could record on weekends. e: Gnossiennes posted:i do like talking about wrestling and don't know any wrestling fans in real life :'( same tbh

So if Russo hadn’t come into power, who could’ve replaced Bischoff and potentially saved WCW? The only name that comes to mind rn is Jerry Jarrett.

tbh Raw and Smackdown should just do the NOAH thing and lean in heavily on the over-50s demo idk who are the best old wrestlers in the US nowadays, but gently caress it, get them all on the main roster, especially Vince, put them over your current main eventers (except for Roman, of course), shift your advertising focus to old people poo poo like easy chairs and shady prescription drugs, and hey presto, you've got the hottest show in sports entertainment once again (amongst geriatrics anyway)

He will win the belt at Full Gear by doing something that makes us all go 'oh poo poo, he really is the Devil'. He's still a heel, and he is lulling us into a false sense of security such that the catharsis when he wins will feel more devastating than anything we've ever felt in wrestling. At least, I hope that's what he's going for. I'm reminded of Blood and Guts, when MJF roared at the camera in anger with his face all bloodied,  and I could only think, holy gently caress, this man is a loving demon. I had never truly felt that about anyone in wrestling before, and I knew then and there that he was going to beat Hangman for the belt. (Granted, that was before Punk came along and hosed everything up, but in an ideal world where Punk didn't come back, MJF would have won the belt from Hangman earlier this year. But that's by the by.) Now, sure, you could easily call MJF's work over the past couple of weeks bad heel work, or even babyface work, because the crowd's now cheering for him. MJF, the character, meant everything that he said to Regal, because it all happened to MJF, the person, exactly as he said it did. (Likewise with Regal's reply, which made the whole thing one of the best promos of the year.) Sure, after the main event he could have really been acknowledging that actually, he was about to take a shortcut to the top, the Firm was part of that shortcut, and MJF really did fire the Firm. What if, however, he thought of Regal's reply as a challenge, that he should do everything he can at Full Gear to prove that he's the Devil without shortcuts, without the ring, without the obvious and hackneyed 2021 House of Torture bullshit that everyone expected from the Firm? When we inevitably see the Firm on MJF's side at Full Gear, what role are they going to play that doesn't involve beating up Mox while the ref's distracted? How does MJF steal the win from Mox without resorting to the same old heel poo poo, and how does he keep the belt over the coming months without everything falling apart? I dunno. It'd be the biggest letdown if at Full Gear, actually, MJF was lying, and he's going to beat Mox exactly as we expect, but I am really hoping that MJF wants to do something in that match which we'll never expect, that'll truly make him into the best heel in the world. If Lance Storm doesn't think that'll draw, oh well, that's his problem.

MJF's gonna hold the belt for the next 14 months, make TK think he's going to re-sign until the last second, then he'll sign with the Fed and throw the belt in the bin live on Smackdown
