My favorite version of that is the NJPW post match interview, which WWE actually tried to do a while back. Just a few comments after the match, but it allows for so much (ex. ZSJ's post match comments during the 2018 New Japan Cup, Tanahashi's comments after the MSG show)

A few years ago on a podcast he got defensive about being allowed to misgender trans people. I’ve long since forgot the source but it was pretty gross and the host apologized the next week. Bad man!

I would hope he's evolved on that issue in the intervening years but I don't know if they book him there

That policy is because they wouldn’t be able to use ROH or AEW talent if they did that.

If someone were to take advantage of the PWG BluRay sale to feed their recently reignited interest in pro wrestling, does anybody have any slam dunk suggestions? Barring outside input, was probably going to go with this year’s BOLA and the show where Chuck Taylor wins the title based on how Excalibur talked about that pop on Talk is Jericho.

The 2014 BOLA is probably your best bet as BOLA shows go, with whichever night ACH/Omega is on (night 2 I think) being the highlight.

In the lull of wrestling right now I've been watching a ton of old ROH and CZW shows and I'm wonder if there's any guys out there at the moment that just have that intimidating, beat your rear end aura that was around in the mid-late 00's like Joe, Super Dragon, Necro Butcher, Low-Ki, Kingston, etc. I know Nick Gauge is still around and I watch GCW on occasion but nobody's really popping out to me right now as that kind of wrestler

Also if you could define the indies from the mid 00's to now what wrestlers and styles would you say there were? The early kings were the guys I mentioned before + guys heavily influenced by Joshi/Puro and there was a lot of brawling. Then we seemed to move on to the Davey Richards/Seth Rollins indies where it was just finisher kickouts and big spots, and after that was the PWG sprints IMO but after WWE scooped up the indies and AEW started I can't think of anything in particular other than absolute diversity individuality who I'd contribute more to Joey Janella and the success of Spring Break. There's so many different styles and shows going on and all of them are completely different so the indies have become more about finding your niche than anyone standing out to me

A: Chris Dickinson
B: The general mix of elements of the modern indies is best shown through Joey Janela's Spring Break, which is currently on IWTV. You have the early 2000s workrate style match in Keith Lee/Lio Rush, the meta nostalgia booking style in Janela/Janetty, the worked shoot wave in Riddle/Severn, classic deathmatch wrestling in Tremont/Kingston, and post-death of Chikara comedy wrestling in the Clusterfuck. All of those are still around to some degree, but some promotions have more of certain elements than others.

Signing up for IWTV for the first time. What are 3 or 4 cards I should watch first?

GCW Bloodsport
Just about any Beyond card with a really sick looking Dickinson match, The Real Thing is a pretty solid card with a fantastic Dickinson/Joe match but Americanrana 2019 has Dickinson vs Sekimoto
If you have to pick a CHIKARA show KOT 09 night 2 has the classic Ibushi/Generico/Matt Jackson/Jigsaw match
CZW New Heights 2015

This should give you a decent look at the big promotions with large libraries on the service (GCW doesn't have a large backlog yet but it is the best promotion on the service) and if you like someone on one of these shows, better odds than not they've got more matches to search through, especially in the bizarrely deep IWA-MS library. Just be wary of promotions in the Gary Jay belt and you'll be fine.
