It makes me wonder if Danhausen's debut was WWE's idea then after that was a disaster they're letting him do his own thing now, because the tone is completely different.
That ref sold more in 3 minutes that the entire aew locker room has sold in 7 years.
The death of Pepper really did a number on him it seems.
Vince hates everything he didn't create or doesn't directly control.
Emphasis on "untrained"; the guy looks legitimately terrified as he sees what the wrestler's going to do to him. Did he have some kind of undisclosed condition going into this that somebody should have been told about, or was this some kind of enforced method acting gimmick, like "sometime during the match, someone is going to do something to you--so just roll with it"?!
The vibe I get is no lawsuit or anything litigious will come out of this, the wrestler who kicked him out of the way will bear the brunt of the backlash, besides Al Snow. Highly doubtful the right lessons will be learned in the aftermath.
I believe it ranges from the top with RoH's flank steak and a footrub, all the way down to IWA:MS's soggy bread and a brain aneurysm.
Promoter: Hey, are you even listening to me? I said you're going to take a bump
A piledriver or a ddt just as dangerous realistically, atleast at these indie shows. And seizures seldom are predictable, some times they just happen out of nowhere seemingly, same with other medical emergencies. The problem is the response from people running the show.
What a load of bullshit. "Safety is so much better" as not a single person around the ring throws up the X, but rolls the dude over and out of the way instead.
I’d like to imagine that a lot of the talent realizes that Tony is a money mark and are just taking him for everything they can get while the money’s there, and in a few cases that may be true, but then I remember that most Wrestlers would be Lolcow Adjacent, if not full blown Lolcows, if they didn’t have Wrestling.
