LuFisto is on Elevation tonight. A name I haven't heard for about 15 years or however long it's been since she was pissing about with Necro Butcher and Zandig. 

Tony Khan living his fanboy wet dreams again for sure.

[Merzbow]

Can't wait for him to book Zandig, just paying him to say the line...

[BomberPat]

LuFisto's been on a bit of a retirement tour recently, since she's been able to work in the US again. She did Joey Janela's Spring Break over Wrestlemania weekend, has done a few other GCW shows, and was in 16 Carat for WXW.

She's a hugely important figure in indie and women's wrestling, so perfectly happy with her hopefully getting a decent payday, or even just a nice late-career pat on the back from a major promotion.

Oh yeah, I wasn't knocking it. I actually wish they'd do this thing more on Dark/Elevation, bring in a random name from the past just to give the shows a bit more variety. I loved Crowbar popping in for one week last year.

Dirt Bike Kid is All Elite ?

No idea if anyone else watches these but I get a kick out of them. This one with Mad King is a banger, with RJ City delivering this pearler. 

"Everyone says that your interviews are very emotional, honest, and raw. What is the key to faking that?"

I’ve heard loads about these Hey EW interviews, but seeing that are they just a complete copy of Zach Galifianakis’ Between Two Ferns?

Isn’t that the American rip off of Mrs Merton?

“Now Young Bucks, when you were wanting to get your own promotion off the ground, what was it that attracted you to the billionaire Tony Khan?”

They just don’t care about getting traction from Battle of the belts do they? When announced I expected these to be big showcase weekend evening shows that you hope to get the families watching tv then into the product, the two so far feel liked half arsed Rampages. Not even interviews in between matches with the big names, it’s just the mid card all over it 

[Tsurutagun]

My gut feeling is that when Tony got the four Saturday specials, he thought they would 2 hours long and when they weren't, he just went meh and has made it an afterthought 

[HarmonicGenerator]

Quite enjoyed Battle of the Belts though. The result of the opener was definitely a surprise. I haven’t seen Dalton Castle or Jonathan Gresham before but they both impressed me. It didn’t feel like an AEW match either, which was nice - as an ad for ROH it was effective. 

[Merzbow]

More like Battle of The Melts, I liked Dalton Castle but just couldn't really care about that card at all.

I see they're leaning in to the boos and Sammy is already a cheating twat, feels like they're killing the feud early and might have him as a heel champ.

[gmoney]

First I've seen of Dalton Castle, and I thought he was great. The show was worth it for that debut to be honest. 

[Merzbow]

His theme was some bootleg Queen, wasn't it? Proper WCW vibes.
