@Helico-pterFunk I don't know about anyone else in the thread but could you chill with random wrestling spam bumps.
Cage doesn't sell moves like too many other people. With his physique it could make sense in the right context but not when the people in the match are doing pretty much everything to each other. The Keith Lee-Shane Taylor thing would have been better with more buildup. I know their history but unless you're just really tapped in and were aware of that situation 5 years ago you wouldn't know based on the build. I disagree with you about FTR but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Every wrestler doesn't have to be super jacked but they should at least look somewhat believable unlike Marko Stunt for example who, to me, looks like an extra from Stranger Things. And the way that they wrestle fits their look especially as heels who go above and beyond in taking every shortcut possible to get an advantage. Love the Briscoes. Wish that they'd get their opportunity to be recognized more widely and making a significant amount of money as well cause they have earned it. At this point I kind of wish that The Kings of Wrestling(Claudio Castagnioli and Chris Hero) were together to make this a 3 way series of matches amongst the teams. They had great chemistry with the Briscoes and could see them and FTR being awesome as well.I actually appreciate all the videos that are posted. I’ve seen clips from eras long past and my childhood, to videos of wrestlers I’ve never seen. The Joshi clips are great because those performers are phenomenal. But I do see y’all’s point. Sometimes it’s literally pages of nothin but post of the women wrestlers. Which is cool but I’ve notice that half of em are OF advertisements. F that. These women get paid plenty. Seeing they OF stuff is annoying. Seems greedy. But that’s just me.
That being said, ROH was great this weekend. They need to give that company a weekly show. I first saw ROH some years ago because every Saturday (least here in NC) they would have a single hour on in the afternoon. It was great to watch. The storylines were minimal but backed up with the intense action ROH is known for. I loved seeing Shane and Keith go at it once more. They were a great faction. This was the era Keith used to fly in that ring. Briscoes vs FTR was awesome. Now I personally don’t like FTR. They just look like slobs from a trailer park. Dem boys however are fucking dope and they never have a bad match. Their intensity was amazing and that made FTR look great as well. The spots were predictable but so violent looking u couldn’t help but be impressed. That landing into the pile of chairs off the top rope….. damn. I was shocked FTR lost because they’ve been on Indy god mode. Seeing them loose was refreshing but I was impressed because nobody cheated, lots of blood, pain and hard slams. Good match.
The 6 man tag. Meh. I don’t like cage in a faction. He don’t sell moves well. Least not in that match. That whole match seemed awkward. Castle is a good performer but everyone else just seemed jerky. Cage needs to be a beast again like in LU
Bump

H-Funk is well known for doing this. I didn't wanna put him on blast but I searched him name right before my post and people are saying "I'm about to HelicopterFuck this bitch" in threads lol. This is the longest running thread in BGOL so there's no need for bump it. There's always something to discuss in here.Yeah, I feel this thread in general is more interesting when there's actual back and forth discussion about wrestling rather than just spamming videos or articles. Not to say that videos or articles shouldn't be posted but it should be complimented with that person's thoughts on what they're posting. I hate to single anybody out because we do have some good discussions in this thread but sometimes those discussions can get buried under the weight of spam. For example I'm interested in hearing everybody's thoughts on FTR/The Briscoes 3. Sure I can post a bunch of clips about it but I'm more interested in the actual discussion. @Helico-pterFunk does offer his opinions on particular topics from time to time. I just wish there was more of it . Anyways, that's my two cent on it.
All of the "indys" look the same to me. I actually live pretty close to where CZW and MLW put on shows and may start to go.I actually appreciate all the videos that are posted.

This is good news. Hopefully it means more WWE contracted wrestlers can work Wrestle Kingdom in the future. That would be a game changer. Imagine NJPW, WWE, and AEW talent all on one ppv.
