I'll load up on a few now that I've had a mediocre sleep:
Punk: Overvalued. When he was in his prime he was hot shit. Now post-prime, he's smoldering shit but we're supposed to think he's the BeSt In ThE WoRlD lol.
Anthony Ogogo I just cannot give a fuck about. I care more about my bowl of popcorn than I do about Anthony Ogogo and I just don't get it.
FTR is my current AEW piss break. I liked em as the Revival. I liked em when they showed up in AEW and started off. Then Dax decided to do the whole 'piss people off with my podcast comments and then 24-72h later play it off like I didn't say stupid crap' bullshit and Cash is just dumber than a tit under an cruise ship.
Deaner/Maclin/Edwards in TNA. Zero interest, none of em do anything for me.
Nanae Takahashi. The second I see any wrestler in Stardom booked in a singles match with Nanane 'That don't work for me, sister' Takahashi I know the next 11 mins are best spent making a sandwich and packing a bowl.
And if I can be allowed an honourable mention for a promotion as a whole: Sukeban, just fuck off lol.
his "evolution" to hardcore style in 2018 was actually so well done, check out that if you haven't seen it.
Last time I enjoyed him lol
The one time I think I enjoyed Deaner was when I was starting to watch Impact during lockdown and he and Jake Something were paired up in WrestleHouse. But that was probably more about WrestleHouse being exactly what I needed at that time.
I’d already forgotten about Sukeban. Haha
For the best lmao. I love how Bull Nakano interviewed Rossy after BR canned him and she asked him how he liked Sukeban and his response was basically 'eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ '
What's wrong with Sukeban? It seems like an interesting idea, no?
Just my own opinion of course:
Edit: And to be clear - No complaints about the wrestling. All of these women are world class wrestlers and they know how to do their job well. It's just...I like cosplay in my wrestling but this is straight up cosplay.
Yeah I can see the problems lol. I only saw the first show (yes there were only 2 as far as I know) and I didn't know that they did this "different characters but performer's accolades" thing, that sounds stupid as fuck, pick one.
Shame cause the idea of a promotion set in its own pocket universe where the performers could be reinvented as their own separate versions, with Bull Nakano as commissioner no less, sounded pretty fucking rad.
Lack of commitment to the vision it seems.
Yeah like the overall aesthetic and how they're doing things just..isn't for me even as a joshi puroresu fan but if they at least stuck to it fully and didn't list Stardom, TJPW, Ice Ribbon etc title wins for everyone on their site and talking about it during commentary then I'd at least give it a passing grade.
I'm also not a fan of that outfit Bull Nakano was wearing but she's Bull fucking Nakano she can wear what she wants lol.
