Marksman

Workhorsemen being back had me marking out! Definitely hoping they stick around

Meant to mention this, too - I started it thinking "Oh good grief, WHO thought we needed a feature on the Gunn Club?" and ended up feeling pretty positive towards them. Really liking these features recently.

Wasn't all that keen on that episode as a whole, but nothing terrible and really enjoyed Main Eventer JD Drake, and the post-match stuff in that one.

Yeah, I'd love to see the VBs get the belts; Mox/Kingston vs the Bucks is fine without them.

I REALLY like Taz; I think he manages the perfect mixture of getting over his guys/rooting for the heels while still putting over the faces by being begrudgingly impressed with their stuff.

Strongly seconding this, IWTV also has a big archive with tons of fun stuff on.

Some cool stuff this week - really enjoyed Acclaimed vs Sonny/Joey, Mox and Eddie had a quick squash win, loved Eddie's promo, and always fun to see Pretty Picture get a backstage segment. Plus, Julia Hart added to the Varsity Blonds is a nice grouping, always fun to see Britt, Leyla and Tay in action, and I actually thought the Ethan/Scorpio promo was pretty decent. Elevation's backstage stuff was good overall - Thunder and Britt always deliver, and I liked the Danny Limelight sit-down with Paul Wight, as well. Are Danny and Madi All Elite now? I'm assuming the sit-down is a good sign, and she's got an entrance video now which I don't think that many of the non-roster people on Dark/Elevation have? (Or maybe a bunch do and I'm just bad at noticing it!)

Wow, that seems dumb.

I really liked this one - I think Darby's willingness to use heel tactics in recent weeks is doing a great job of putting over the importance of the belt.

The idea of Leyla refusing to learn how to get over seems utterly bizarre to me. The video package a week or two ago was awesome and her tag team with Ryo has been fantastic.

That RoH show sounds horrific. Something with most matches under 12 minutes is DEFINITELY more in my ballpark!

She was on recently - against Leyla, April 12th. Video here. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=308192977490509

Oh, god, yeah. I love watching live shows but think that I'd be out on my feet after 4 hours plus.

I'd rather see a safe bump that looks bad than a dangerous bump, however good it looks - but it shouldn't be an either/or, they should be able to film it well enough that they're not showing the crash pad. As strobogo says above, I also don't think the bump was the worst thing about Jericho in that match - he just didn't seem to wrestle like it was a blood feud. And agree with MoS on Britt/Thunder being an awesome ending, probably my favourite of the year so far except for maybe Sasha/Bianca.

Yeah - Leyla seems tailor-made for either a position in Team Taz, or a spot as a babyface taking them on if they bring in another woman.

That makes sense. I'm desperate to see Orange vs Omega, but either Orange vs Omega or PAC vs Omega doesn't seem like a PPV main when you're only running a few PPVs each year, so Stadium Stampede would definitely seem like a good plan.

I was surprised by the Abadon win, but I like her character work a lot and I would definitely buy an action figure, yeah! And agree on Leyla, really glad they seem to be getting behind her - the video package last week was excellent and the team with Ryo has shown a different side to her which has been super fun.

Yeah, I really wish they'd do a better job of production. Other than that, pretty good episode, and sets up one for next week which sounds amazing.

This week was a little weak for me, but I enjoyed Leyla vs Diamante and the six-man (Dark Order vs Pretty Picture) on Dark, and Abadon/Ryo on Elevation. Also on Elevation, always nice to see Mox, Orange, Thunder and Miro in action.

This is my feeling, too. I think 90s me doing a top 100 would have him super-high, because I loved him at that point. But with so many other great wrestlers I've seen since then, I don't think he holds up.

Yeah, this should be awesome! Undercard is looking pretty cool as well as the main which I'm expecting amazing things from.

Not seeing anything about her having a restraining order? Riddle filed for one but then dropped it pretty quickly, according to this. https://babyfacevheel.substack.com/p/matt-riddle-cancelled-restraining

I've been really tempted to subscribe, but this is definitely not making me want to subscribe. Staggeringly lazy, yeah.

When you put it like THAT, it sounds really dumb. But if you actually watch the clip, it's... Yeah, still really dumb.

A lot of the time Bret seems to be so convinced on working people that he's bought in completely to his own fiction - I can totally buy him absolutely believing that's what happened, even when it's clearly ridiculous.
