I really like Chuck Taylor. He's charismatic. Sure, he's not a grand master of combat psychology (although quality comedy can be a really effective mental and tactical tool, kayfabe speaking of course), or good grappler, or decent striker, etc. But I kind of like and appreciate what he does out there, he pushes for his own thing, tries to tell a story. Sure, he tries too hard sometimes, but what the hell, he still entertains me in his own way. Also, he can really tear houses down when feels like it.

Personally I'm interested at seeing how well WrestleCon goes this year. Part of me thinks that the location of this years was what made it so successful. I mean, the NY/NJ area is pretty much the mecca of indy wrestling anyways.


TNA released Joey Ryan. Well, that lasted long. I guess PWG will shove him in the tag match at Ten. So I guess that means more sexual harassment for Candice LeRae

My thoughts on the past few topics:

Rest of the card for TEN looks rather... terrible. Hate to say it. Londrick vs. F.I.S.T. has huge potential to be tons of fun but I think it's really gonna depend on what Brian Kendrick shows up. Heard he's been slackin heavily as of late, but I haven't seen it yet personally. Davey vs. Cage, Perkins vs. O'Reilly (this has happened tons of times btw), & Fox vs. Elgin, especially that last one, do absolutely nothing for me. I would've been much more interested in this combo:

Davey & Kyle vs. Unbreakable F'N Machines & Perkins vs. Fox

Also, sucks to hear about the stripping of Jay. A tournament is fine with me but a tournament that covers a two month span? Come on now. Why not do it on a double shot or even just a one night, 8 man tournament? Cole or Elgin (probably Elgin) are the clear picks for me, unless Hardy sneaks in there.

I agree with Jack Evans, stretching it out over such a long span seems like a waste. Not trying to play the instant gratification card but a one-two punch or one night tournament if booked correctly can accomplish just as much. Well, I guess I'll see how it plays out sucks for Jay though.

Fast forward to about 34 minutes on. Davey says both he and Eddie are currently in talks with both WWE and TNA. I'd love to see them go WWE. The developmental system is exactly what both need to hone their talents and get rid of their quintessential "Indie flaws". Everyone knows both have all the tools to be great workers. Wouldn't care about them going TNA.

Sorry if this was already posted. Didn't see it posted in this section.

There's a difference between doubting promo skills because the guy never talks and doubting promo skills because the guy talked and wasn't great at it. Been saying for a couple of years now that the best thing that could happen to Eddie is getting down to WWE developmental and away from the Indy style. Fully expect a Tyler Black esque turnaround if he ends up there.

DGUSA Fearless 2011 Review (6/3/2011)
-Great show and I’d argue one of the more underrated shows from 2011. Nothing really bad other than Davis/Sanchez not being a squash; Ricky/Susumu, Gargano/Aries & The Main Event were all damn good, one of the best tag team matches of 2011 IMO.


CIMA vs. Rich Swann-**
Brodie vs. Cannon vs. Nese vs. Fox vs. Colon vs. Reed-***
Ricochet vs. Susumu Yokosuka-****
Sami Callihan vs. Masaaki Mochizuki-***
Jon Davis vs. Pinkie Sanchez-**
Johnny Gargano vs. Austin Aries-****
Masato Yoshino & PAC vs. YAMATO & Akira Tozawa-****+

DGUSA Uprising 2011 Review (6/4/2011)
-Haven’t actually seen this show since its original airing so it was cool to re-watch, holds up very well. Got a consistent card per usual and everyone was on their game; Nese/Brodie was the surprise of the night, Aries/Susumu wasn’t quite as good as their match from 2006 but still good as was Fox/Tozawa. The Main Event especially more than delivered with lots of WTF’ness and Insanity.


Callihan vs. Davis vs. Konley vs. Sanchez vs. Reed vs. Kendrick vs. Lyndon vs. Colon-***
Anthony Nese vs. Brodie Lee-***
Austin Aries vs. Susumu Yokosuka-***
YAMATO vs. Yoshino vs. Gargano vs. CIMA-***+
Papadon vs. Alex Reynolds-LOL
Masaaki Mochizuki vs. Arik Cannon-**
AR Fox vs. Akira Tozawa-****
PAC vs. Ricochet vs. Rich Swann-****

Given my everlasting love for all things GOATo, got recommended Okada/GOATo (3/23/2013) from my cousin so I’ll have that review up later hopefully and I'll also be checking out Ciampa/Elgin since I've seen a lot of positivity for that too.

I thought the show was pretty solid (slightly lower with all my ratings, *** 3/4 for the double main event) but good god that crowd was bad. So quiet unless they were chanting about beer or something?

Karl Anderson has been announced as the next entrant in the ROH title tournament.
I wouldn't get too excited, he'll probably be a one off and lose in the first round to Elgin as KC said. Which is fine by me but I hope they go a different direction than their TV match, which was going along pretty well until alll legwork was aborted and they went into 'let's just do a bunch of moves' mode.

People seriously prefer Eddie to Davey? Wow. Eddie Edwards is the blandest wrestler in existence. Not that I see anything coming from these "talks" but Davey > Eddie, dammit.
If this were 2009-10 then yeah, easily Davey over Eddie but Edwards' ROH Title run and essentially all of his 2011 run (that I saw at least) was fucking GREAT. Really made me a fan of the guy. I can't really stand anything Davey does these days and Edwards I'm not exactly huge on anymore but I can certainly bare him. Both guys seem to get into a rhythm of having the same matches over and over again but I can least say I prefer Eddie's chops to Davey's kicks. :p

PAC vs Ricochet vs Swann sounds too awesome.

Anderson as an entrant makes me far more excited. Give me Anderson vs Cole and I'll be a happy man. Does the tournament actually go on until September? Plenty of time to slowly turn Cole if they're smart.
 
#10,185 ·
I think we'll more likely see Anderson/Elgin again and Elgin gets his win back on his way to the finals. Wouldn't be surprised if London is in so we get London/Elgin too.

And I'd be happy if Davey and Eddie get picked up by WWE, if for nothing else to stop the at this point yearly "Davey's going to retire to become a........." rumors.

Nah, the cool thing to do is hate on Davey at every opportunity. I like both being honest.

When I joined the forum Davey was the holy grail of Indie wrestling. Having MOTYC after MOTYC, everything he did got praised. I agree he's work then was better. I just can't understand how a wrestler can go from being "one of the best in the world" to having so much hate. I do hate on Davey sometimes, but I like him.
 
#10,192 ·
I could never understand it myself. The Davey hate is confusing. People make it out like it's only recently he started becoming a no selling spot monkey. He's been a no selling spot monkey his entire career! I think it's just another one of those occasions where everyone hops on the bandwagon and then one by one they all start jumping off. It's kind of starting to happen with Dean Ambrose now.
