I can't see Darby losing this one. He lost to Mox in the Coffin Match so I feel like he needs this one. That is an angle I hadn't considered though. Bryan Danielson would probably love to get killed on camera for a 2nd year in a row though.

Darby finally failed to answer the 3 count. Mox immediately hugged Darby's lifeless body and began speaking to him, with full remorse in his eyes.

Mox is going to quit.

Not because of what Darby will do to him.

Because he can't bring himself to do what is needed to be done to get Darby to quit.

But Darby just wouldn't stay down. He was taking piledrivers and extreme punishment but just wouldn't stay down for the 3 count.

Mox begged him to stay down. Begged. Pleaded. Darby kept getting up. Mox hit him with an avalanche, high angle Paradigm Shift.

So for Jon Moxley Vs Darby Allin, "I Quit" match at Wrestledream, I put it to you that Jon Moxley is going to quit.

Here's why:

Back on the 30th July 2020 at Dailys Place, these 2 men had a match on Dynamite. It was hard hitting with Mox hitting Darby with everything.

There are people who will hate you because you do what you do. Don't ever try to please them because you cant.

Can you believe there are people in the world that don't like this?

Pretty famously billed as being from Pittsburgh though.

All we have are eye witness accounts related via a third party. I'm somebody who deals in eye witness accounts on a daily basis and I know they can vary wildly. It's for this reason that I don't like to claim something as fact that we don't know for sure. It's just caution 🙂

He's a superb wrestler. Remember his run in the C2? Give him much more of that and we might be on to a winner.

With the exception of the first 6 months or so, I just got the impression he wasn't interested in being there last time. Now he's chosen to come back, maybe we get more of the C2 Andrade.

This just seems like a poor decision for AEW.

I really hope I'm proven wrong but it feels like he's already shown that he doesn't really want to be there.

Don't get me wrong: I think Andrade is a great wrestler. He's capable of putting on incredible matches.

In his entire last run though, he never fully got over. Rush was brought in to work alongside him and immediately got over, but Andrade still didn't.

Rumours of attitude issues too.

Nope. Sorry but no.

Gail Kim was a massive part of western women's wrestling and a huge reason it looks the way it does now. WWE like to claim credit but it was Gail and others in TNA that changed expectations.

That is why these opinions she's spouting as so harmful.

Alex @alexb83.bsky.social · 23d

Yes but if you keep saying it, people will believe it. It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Alex @alexb83.bsky.social · 23d

Gail Kim is so important to me. She helped define what I expected from female wrestlers and wrestling. I was in awe of her ability and belief in her value as a performer.

She is dead fucking wrong about Riho and she's handling this so incredibly poorly.

Stop, Gail. FFS. Stop.

This is all I need to see about Gail Kim. I was never a fan and there are better role models in wrestling for my daughter.

Too many to name one single favourite but this will live in my memory forever.

They're called Preston City Wrestling and while they do claim to be family friendly... They don't seem to have any qualms about booking Austin Aries.
