Here's a blurred line between kayfaybe and reality moment. A Canadian NCAA amateur wrestler, John Tenta, turned sumo competitor, then pro-wrestler was matched up against a former sumo athlete & hothead named Koji Kitao. Koji didn't want to sell and or cooperate as things got tense based on some kind of sumo pride/rivalry in Koji's head. Apparently the Hulkster — ya know, the guy that was supposed to be in Metallica — claims Tenta covered for him that night, cause he knew Koji was gonna put him in some shit: https://youtu.be/AukVofRrSP8?t=1551[close]Tenta/Earthquake/Avalanche/the Shark was the sickest. Had he been a tad more agile i.e Bam Bam Bigelow, I think he would have been pushed more as he was main event status.[close]Hell yeah. As it actually turns out there was a darkside of the ring on him that came out not that long ago. just watched it:https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8txpia

Dammit guys, we let this thread get off the first page. I'm partially to blame. I'll be better.WWE is doing some great things right now. I have heated discussions with a friend because he generally dislikes most of modern wrestling but he still watches out of habit. He liked the late 80's/90's steroid era of like Hercules and dudes like that. His all time favorite is British Bulldog. He hates the AEW flippy shit and doesn't want to see cruiserweights presented as main event heavyweight champs. He kinda over the Bloodline shit and he doesn't follow indy wrestling or New Japan so when I told we aren't even close to the end and there is like 3-4 more samoan's they could bring in he was not happy. I really think Roman comes back and reforms with the Uso's, and we have a civil war angle with Roman and Solo as leaders. Shit they may even get Sami back in the fray he was great with those dudes.Swerve v Christian could be a good match, but the feud is dumb when nobody cared about the dudes that turned on Swerve. And I actually kinda like Brian Cage and I've seen footy of him skating.Where AEW is really blowing it is building these dudes up as heels and then turning them because the crowd loves the act. MJF as the champion was riuned by the face turn and Adam Cole shit. It all sucked so bad. Now they did the same thing with Swerve and it completely cooled him off. God dammit that crowd in France was fucking so hot I enjoyed a Cody Rhodes match.Stoked we might get another Gunther v Dragunov match.
Won't this be Logan Paul's 2nd title shot in Saudi Arabia? Where did he wrestle Roman?

AEW can’t live down the chainsaw match in my head. I’ll take Logan Paul over that. Do I like him? Nope. CN he wrestle? Yep. To be honest, he’s made the US title more prestigious as that title was in limbo. Dragunov VS Jey Uso is going to be a ripper. They teased a Gunther vs Dragunov feud.
Let's also not forget the Mountain Dew Pitch Black Match.Logan Paul is doing great. He can talk and he can wrestle and he plays the cocky heel really well. Really bummed they put Uso over on Dragunov.
Absolute Ricky Starks up next for NXT. He'd be perfect for it.
