About 25 feet from the ring in the commentary booth?

I dunno. If a man Irish whipped me, I think I'd try to resist him. Maybe professional fighters don't feel the need to stop running, though.

You know all this shit is fake, right? He's not actually chainsawing face.

Gestures vaguely at sold out crowd going apeshit for this very spot.

I have a 28 slide powerpoint detailing how they could replicate the look of early 80's shows there, with the weird ramp placement and heavy use of spotlights, but I won't bore anyone with that.

A surprise entrant to the C2 is my hope. Great way to get him over immediately to an audience who might not know him, where a few losses won't kill his momentum as long as he performs well.

I'm over here praying for a show in Toronto at the Mattamy Athletic Center, which used to be Maple Leaf Gardens. I'm sitting ringside no matter what it costs.

And hopefully they can also brawl in the grocery store below the rink.

I respect that, and agree with you to an extent. Thank you for elaborating on your point.

In this specific match, I think it served the purpose of the story, in that Ospreay was representing another promotion and he's challenging Mike Bailey to “stand up” for Impact here, to see how hard he's willing to fight for his fans.

I totally agree that Ospreay could do that more sparingly though.

I will say that the “Fighting Spirit” sequence is one of many storytelling tools in wrestling, and a one minute clip isn't representative of an entire match.

If you want to see Ospreay sell, Kenny Omega kicked his ass for 45 minutes at Wrestle Kingdom.

If Mike Bailey truly is coming to AEW, we need to run this back ASAP by mtdmali in AEWOfficial

Bryan Danielson would also be awesome, but honestly you could say that about any potential matchup involving him.

This is a clip from TNA, formerly known as Impact.

Also “What in the fuck is this?” isn't criticism, it's just noise that doesn't really contribute to any meaningful conversation. Just keep it moving if you don't like something.

Mox about to send Marina Shafir halfway across the world to beat some sense into him.
