I mean, makes sense. Danhausen is a low risk/very high reward signing for any company.
He’s a merchandising machine.

I'm really sick of the obnoxious grandstanding in wrestling. You're not Sputnik Monroe, you're not breaking down barriers, you're not expanding or improving the business by intentionally mislabeling titles. Fucking get over yourself.

This dude had the stones to break into the business in his mid thirties thinking that he could learn the ropes at that age and become a big wrestling star. Even more insane? He actually pulled it off. Not through nepotism or political maneuvering, but through focus and sheer hard work alone.

"Bischoff gave me the job as I was a good example of work ethic, passion and someone that cares about the business. Since they wouldn't really book me, I went down to the WCW Power Plant every day I wasn't working. That's how you adapt to adversity. Even when I started to make it, I still kept going back. Until I was on the road 260 days a year-plus, I was still going to that Power Plant. For five years I went there, because that's how long it took me to get to the top."

The dude is an inspiration.

I haven't really been keeping up with him since he moved to WWE but apparently Jeff Cobb got a fairly sustained "you can't wrestle" chant last night and reddit says he has really obviously been putting in fuck all effort since he started there.

I presume he is coasting for a last paycheck before retirement the same as Nakamura is.

Even if he was particularly good his lack of Charisma indicates he'll be gone before 2030. He's obviously just a "spare parts" wrestler.

Miu Watanabe won the TJPW Tokyo Princess Cup tonight over heavy underdog Arisu Endo and will now challenge Mizuki for the Princess of Princess Championship at Wrestle Princess VI on September 20th. This will be their first singles meeting since Mizuki beat Watanabe for the title in January.

The tournament was highlighted by fantastic matches in the semifinals and finals, continuing to build legitimacy for a promotion that has historically leaned into comedy and its idol culture foundation.

The win solidifies Watanabe as the new "ace" of the promotion, becoming the first woman to win all three championships and the Tokyo Princess Cup. The tournament also seems to have proved successful in elevating Arisu Endo, historically booked as a midcarder and jobber to the stars, as a legitimate main event threat.

I don't watch TJPW that much, but the semifinal match between Miu and Shoko was really damn good; Miu got her ass kicked and found a way to win. Miu vs Arisu in the final told a good underdog babyface putting up a strong fight story, even if it was a little too one-sided for a tournament final.

And speaking of a jobber to the stars becoming a legitimate main event threat, Momo Watanabe might finally be getting that big push in Stardom after winning the 5STAR Grand Prix. She's definitely not beating Saya for the title, at least not with this challenge, but I'm hoping it leads to Momo becoming a face again because her heel run has been long overdue to end.

Just a simple disingenuous period changes everything. It was clearly said like this “ Interspecies marriages (TWO SECOND PAUSE) [punchline] babyfaces and heels”. It wasn’t said because one is black and one acts black, it was literally just Jim’s boomer humor. However putting a period instead of a coma or anything like that makes it seem like interspieces was a standalone joke.

Enjoy neither side liking you Jim.

I thought that was a funny line. But not surprising he's getting shit on for it.

Now that women have almost equal screen time as men do we're going to be seeing this scenario even more. It sucks for booking as I'm sure HHH/TK or whomever can't ask a female talent "Do you plan on getting pregnant in the next 12 months because we want you to be champion".

The old phrase Card Subject to Change will live on forever.

Just felt like posting this because I'm not really a wrestling nerd (something something Attitude Era) but I randomly came across this organization when looking up Doug (Pinhead) Bradley:

I was looking up recent things he was doing and I came across some promo's he did for Blackcraft a few years ago. Poor guy.

Could Blackcraft be the weirdest indie org that's not some gay furry thing like the thing Jim Sterling "wrestles" for?

I vaguely recall the one with Hell's Razor, I think it was Mania-adjacent and like, an hour late to start and a total clusterfuck even for "shindy supercard OF SATAN"

Jim Cornette doesn't understand that the modern babyface enjoys a bad bitch.
 
Nick Gage returned to GCW after a year in an incredibly overbooked opener, and was immediately followed by a returning Kross and Scarlett. Nick looks cancer sickly

This popped up in my feed. Wrestlers really should do more coke, because The Dungeon of Doom really was the pinnacle of so bad it's good wrestling

God, I hate how JeetTube keeps blocking thumbnails for embedded videos all the time. Anyway, The Dungeon of Doom is peak crazed insanity and I'm happy its been mentioned many times in here and elsewhere in the farms.

Killer Kross and Scarlett returned to GCW and put Matt Cardona through a table.

I can't get into Kross. He's an okay enough talker but none of his matches have ever stuck out to me. Something is missing and I can't put my finger on it and I feel the same about L.A Knight. They have the tools and should be superstars at this point but I have a hard time connecting with them. Bad booking?

Kross has really boring matches. He's not bad, he just does basic stuff and barely takes any bumps. Even in NXT he was always the worst wrestler in the title matches. Blatantly obvious Triple H had a hard-on for him, for a reason that's never been explained.

L.A. Knight is average in the ring, but you can tell he puts in the effort and whenever he has a match on PLE he always steps up his game. Knight's been a victim of Triple H not really believing in him, as he absolutely should have won the MITB briefcase in 2023 instead of Damian Priest. Not sure if he'll ever win a world title.
 
So this is pretty fucking nuts. Apparently Rampage Jackson's kid hopped into the ring at an indie show and shoot beat the shit out of some guy. Details are still coming in and I'm not sure what's true or not but I've seen reports that the guy is either legitimately dead or in extremely critical condition. EDIT: He's not dead but is still hospitalized.

Grok summary:
Raja Jackson, the 23-year-old son of MMA legend Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, caused a stir at a live pro wrestling event streamed on Kick late Saturday night. After being assaulted earlier by a wrestler, Raja stormed the ring, delivering a series of punches that knocked the opponent unconscious, leading to immediate medical intervention and widespread online debate over self-defense, legal consequences, and the event's authenticity.

Incident:


Apparently earlier in the day they had a confrontation. Some people are saying the guy was just in character and it was 100% kayfabe but maybe the kid didn't realize that? Also includes video of the attack and him walking down the street complaining about "RESPEKT" in typical nigger fashion.


Him receiving a call alleging that the guy he attacked is dead


Everything was apparently streamed on Kick.

Raja deleted his kick channel right after. And Rampage Jackson his father, ended his stream with Sneako early too.

Longest clip of incident so far. Includes his entrance and exit to the ring. (LOUD)

How do you get baited from a wrestling script?

"Hes laying in the ring fucking flatlined, nigga!"

BREATHING INTENSIFIES.

"My bad!"

Well isnt that fucking something... Tbh, I dont think this mongoloid ever had the ability to make a decision with more than 3 seconds of forethought, so something like this was bound to happen. I really hope this guy makes it, nothing would bring me more joy than to see him walk into court, and personally have rampage cut him a generational check. Either way, money will be making a mass transit in the opposite direction.

Edit: i wouldnt be suprised if this gets featured in community with how quick its blowing up.
