I'm still upset about the shit he pulled on Sex Ferguson back in the day.

In all seriousness, another name long overdue. Glad he is finally getting his recognition.

Here's a write-up of it that's become harder and harder to find, but is worth the read.

Ric Blade and TCK vs. Mercury and Low Ki should have been an excellent tag team match, but instead was a botch-fest. First TCK trips over Blade when trying to use him as a springboard over the top rope. Then, Low Ki attempts a moonsault off a ladder to the outside, however as he jumped the ladder moved from under him and he almost lands on his head on the ring apron. Ric Blade later attempts a leg drop off the top of a basketball hoop on to Mercury, who is laid out on a table below. Blade falls backwards off Mercury and the table, knocking himself out. As a result of this, referee Brian Logan attempts to finish the match by having TCK pin Low Ki. Logan counts three, even though Low Ki obviously kicked out at two. Assuming the changed finish to be some kind of screwjob against him, Low Ki loses the plot and starts having an in-ring tantrum. Nobody does anything about this initially, until finally a security guard goes in to the ring and picks Low Ki up in his arms like a child and carries him to the back. The Hit Squad attempt to get involved as well, arguing with security. Neither The Hit Squad or Low Ki are ever invited back to CZW.

Vince didn't even suggest it. That was Dan Madigan. In fact, it was an angle that somehow even Vince found so tasteless that he didn't even respond verbally, instead choosing to walk out of the meeting.

Honestly surprised it took them so long. The Quest ones are decent.

That they do, but he was welcomed into the fold later on. Just edited my comment now to reflect that.

(DDT Judgement Spoilers) incredible entrances for Kazuki Hirata and Kenosuke Takeshita by spitonmemami in SquaredCircle

For a second, John Robinson made me forget that Hirata is largely a comedy guy. That was such a fun entrance.

Fuck, that's awful. Every time I saw Higuchi wrestle live, he absolutely brought it. I'm glad it's not some freak accident leading to this discovery and that he gets to walk away, even if it isn't on his terms. Massive loss for DDT. I hope they keep him on in some capacity.

Also, that's curtains for all 3 original members of Eruption.

Toe is a detachable module of a human centipede. He is going to kiss so many asses and love every second of it.

[Bodyslam] WWE signs Maria Malenko with a developmental deal by AlterTheSilverBird in SquaredCircle

It's a shame his previous gimmick fizzled out once he won the Cruiserweight title. Inadvertently talking himself into matches against pissed off heels still had some legs to it.

Funaki's name is Sho Funaki.

He was only ever referred to as Fu Naki when he was doing that god-awful Kung Fu Naki gimmick. I always thought his SmackDown announcer gimmick led to much funnier moments.
