NEW VIDEO OUT!
I’m starting a series called Your New Favorite Wrestler, where I cover lesser known but fantastic performers. To kick things off, we have the earth’s mightiest defender, Survival Tobita!
I just realized that Cody being told “don’t worry kid, you’ll get that promotion to world title status next year” for the past three years makes him a more accurate portrayal of “The American Dream” than his father ever was.
It’s a shame most of the Andre footage we have is of him as an old man.
Just listen to how loud his punches are and look at him go. He was a really special talent for a long time, we just don’t have the tapes.
A big fuck you to whoever leaked the Mad Kurt news. His mother asked for some time to grieve, but these ghouls will do anything for attention.
@RevProUK
have some shame.
This might be the most damaging sequence in modern wrestling because it told all the worst brained wrestlers that the boring thousand-counters-into-a-staredown spot is epic
This is the loudest pop I’ve ever heard. Everyone needs to watch more Puerto Rican wrestling. The camera starts to shake from all the applause.
VOLUME WARNING
I know I mentioned the other one as the best commentary call ever, but this is the true correct answer. The best banter any team has ever had bar none.
a hard NO for WWE having sponsorship on the ring mat, this ain't UFC. WWE is all about in-ring storytelling and by having sponsorship tag on the ring mat will cause a catastrophic distraction.
there are always million and a half “hot dog and handshake” jokes about any cool spot like this because wrestling fans think something they heard 20 years ago is still the funniest thing ever
Just look at this clip. The timing, Hacksaw’s facial expressions when he FINALLY gets that glove on, DiBiase trying to escape like a coward, and the heel getting the most deserved comeuppance ever. The crowd just doesn’t stop, either.
Watching wrestling from 1985 for no specific reason and it feels like a completely different industry. ANY match at the end of any given card is red-hot and has better punches and grand gesturing than you’ve seen in decades.
@USArmy
I’m glad this is getting as much flak as it is. The army is a predatory service and it is FINALLY being called out on its crap. Thank you to those who have served, but those who run this thing need to read all of these and see what they’ve done.
@Sooplexx
I don’t think a movie about a guy who kept to himself backstage more than most and whose best friends can’t talk about who he was when he was alive because they’ve also passed would be very interesting, outside of the ring Benoit might be the least interesting wrestler ever.
“Muta didn’t prance around the ring like tinkerbell before doing moves” you could have just said “I have never watched the great muta wrestle in my life”
This guy calling other people soft is hilarious, he got so mad that someone posted a mean review about him on Cagematch that he made his own account to copy-paste the negatives and turn them into positives
In light of the backlash my most recent video received, I feel the need to issue an apology. Please repost so that anyone who may have been offended can have an opportunity to see it. God bless 🙏
I know it’s annoying to compare WCW to AEW but the worst booked PPV main in company history followed by the man himself returning after damn near ten years *feels* like the finger poke of doom-mankind winning the title double blow that changes the trajectory of both companies.

@KevMistahJ87
Yeah is that in the clip used? The clip I’m commenting on?
Did I call it a bad match?
Or did I say that the clip of mothafuckas using only strikes shouldn’t be considered the definition of wrestling….
ok this is a question im not sure any of you can answer but i need to posit it
when did these four things become the kid archetype in media and why is it always so funny unless the most annoying people ever wear it at a death grips concert
I love it when someone watches this and discovers how excellent it is, rarely do you get to witness someone change what they love in wrestling in real time but this match does it constantly
UPDATE: it was everything everyone said and more, holy hell what a match. incredible evil plunder stuff plus the motorcycle stunt cage bumps equals a happy me. PR remains undefeated.
The simple build up, the NOAH guys in Yone and Sugi holding their man back while the ROH guys hold Joe back, Morishima’s jorts, the audio clipping when the crowd’s screaming “LET THEM FIGHT,” perfect pro wrestling.
Yes, this is definitely what people want! It’s not like a boring authority angle is a big reason people wanted an alternative wrestling promotion or anything! Good job, guys!
I saw that she appreciates the messages sent her way. I’m glad she can find some comfort after such a horrific tragedy.
It’s still disgusting that a company went against her wishes. That’s not very hard to understand.
This one probably won’t stay up for long because it’s a Dome match, but everyone needs to see this one. Sasaki’s best match and up there as one of Nagata’s two or three.
The man inadvertently created both the Four Pillars era of All Japan and Pro Wrestling NOAH. We don’t get the indie scene boom of the 2000s without those guys watching his classics. The only person to wrestle Jumbo, Shinya, and Okada to my knowledge. No Tenryu slander allowed.
Irony has irredeemably poisoned so much of pro wrestling that it is no longer the same industry and no longer attracts the same type of crowds it did 30 years ago, might actually be the worst thing to happen to wrestling.
Time for the first match I haven’t seen yet, The Boss (Big Boss Man) versus Vader from WCW Spring Stampede 1994. Billed as a Gigantic Grudge Match, very excited for this one.
can we please not let the pillars nickname stick for these goofballs but at the same time eternally laugh at Tony for choosing THOSE four as his make believe pillars
I feel like everyone forgot how good Sammy Guevara is. He wasn't named as a pillar because Tony Khan thought he was pretty. He's a wow moment wrestler and he's really good at it.
As an early Christmas gift, I wanted to share one of the best sub-5 minute matches ever with y’all. Nakano’s nose explodes in the first ten seconds and it just keeps gushing.
Watching wrestling from 1985 for no specific reason and it feels like a completely different industry. ANY match at the end of any given card is red-hot and has better punches and grand gesturing than you’ve seen in decades.
The way some people talk about wrestling today has me convinced that if Vader debuted in the 2010s, he’d be widely considered a “bad wrestler” because he does not fit that mold.
i think wrestling has become so homogeneous that people genuinely think there’s only one way to be a great worker and have great matches. like there’s one kind of good match and if you can’t have it, then your in ring work isn’t great
the fact Yuji Nagata (not an MMA fighter) and had 2 professional MMA fights and out of hilariously cruel existential chance they were against prime Mirko Cro Cop and prime Fedor Emelianenko
y'all shitting on the usos match when it was really triple hs fault was so annoying. what the hell were they supposed with only 8 minutes. triple h does NOT like them and it shows
This Valentine’s Day I wanted to share a clip of a match that contains nothing but pure hatred.
One of the most heated opening segments I’ve seen in a while.
Doesn’t register it for a second, immediately pops up and hits his move as fast as possible. Everything I dislike about Ospreay condensed into gif form.
@bornposting
most important lost media discovery of all time has to be criterion restoring the Apu Trilogy after a fire destroyed the originals but no some cartoon bumper from 2004 is way more culturally relevant!
Put together a little French Catch MV to show people how ahead of their time these guys were. You barely see half of this stuff today, and it’s all done with less finesse and confidence than these men had. Unbelievable stuff.
This is extra funny because
1. everyone uses this clip since hogan is in the ring with the unquestionable greatest wrestler to ever lace up a pair of boots and
2. this match did not happen in new japan
1. hilarious that this is about noah, the company that hosted two of the most famous and beloved matches of all time especially on cagematch (mention that because this guy is definitely an Inmate)
2. yes i am definitely watching battlarts for engagement no other reason
NEW VIDEO OUT!
After months of editing and rewatching, it’s finally here. A detailed breakdown of my favorite promotion ever that you might not have heard of.
Welcome to FUTEN: A Company In Lists!
This tweet is even more disgusting because he actively knew at LEAST one of his wrestlers was doing the same thing and thought nobody would find out.
He doesn’t care, has never cared, and probably will never care about the safety of women in his locker room.

have you ever actually seen fight club? if you have and told chuck palahniuk your political views he’d tell you to take a long walk off a short bridge if you catch my drift
That might be the best last match of somebody’s career ever. There will not be a better match in 2024. The easiest five stars of all time. Sting is the best wrestler in AEW history.
This match has one moment that perfectly highlights why AEW is so far removed from what I want it to be.
Wardlow kept the ring a secret, hiding it right up until Punk punched Max.
Adam Cole pulls out the ring and points to it so everyone knows where it is.
Two different AEWs.
This clip is hilarious but it also made me think about a very funny hypothetical.
In a reverse fantasy booking, where you wanted to make the worst, most painful wrestling roster ever, who would your first four picks be?
Only rule is no creeps
Big announcement: First series on my channel coming very soon.
I’m covering a near-decade span of one man’s career and how it changed pro wrestling as we know it.
Wrestling And Romance never changes.
The worst is people who only view “lucha” as one singular genre. If you think Black Terry vs Mr Condor and the Panther-Villano V apuestas are the same genre of wrestling, just blanket statement lucha, you’re wrong!
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
GCW has just recieved this disturbing video coming from an unknown source at The Showboat earlier this afternoon.
GCW has learned that Joey Janela has since been taken to the Atlanticare Regional Medical Center for treatment.
Stay tuned for further updates...
Merry Christmas everyone! I wanted to share one of the coolest wrestling clips I’ve seen in a while. Teddy Boy just THROWS Modesto Aledo around the ring, doing stuff in 1960 that people in 2023 can’t perform half as smoothly.
French Catch was so unbelievably ahead of its time.
Every pay per view, when someone says something even slightly negative about an aew show like “the crowd sounded awful on the broadcast” and “this show is fine,” they have to hound them and say they’re watching wrestling the wrong way.
Shoutout how both guys tried different things to get the crowd into it: Bryan going for the injury selling, Shingo riling them up by leaning heel. But much like the rest of the show so far (Zero Hour included), that was fine.
