Wrestling Thread 7: FTR Baldhausen • Page 676

I'm excited to find out what his official ring name will be so I can stop debating whether to type Claudio or Cesaro or CSRO

 

I'm excited to see his first interaction with Eddie.

 

It's gonna be Santino

 

If it's Cesaro, I hope his new AEW entrance music brings back the sirens from this theme of his

 

Completely forgot about those sirens

why were they there

 

To warn you that an ass beating was coming in the form of Cesaro.

 

No fucking clue, but at least to me, I associate them with Cesaro and if you want to go for the biggest holy-shit crowd reaction pop, I think something akin to that sound is the best way the get the crowd hyped up. Plus I'm a sucker for any sort of glass break moment in the first second of an entrance theme

 

I swear to fuck, if I hear one more dweeb whine about "build" on the internet today, I'm going to put my skull through my monitor.

 

God it’s going to be so good when it’s Claudio and Eddie just starts fighting his teammate.

 

It’s gonna be Enzo

 

When I think technical wrestling I think Enzo Amore howyadoin

 

You know how many dimes he had if he cared about technical wrestling?

 

Gotta be honest I don’t totally remember his schtick, is it zero dimes

 

@oldjersey

 

i associate sirens with scott steiner

 

tf are you tagging me for geek

 

The sirens make me laugh really hard, I think because I used to watch OSW and they would make the ambulance noise whenever Cesaro entered the ring in a show they were reviewing. It also had zero connection to his gimmick. So funny.

You're not a sucker for a glass break moment to start the theme, everyone loves that, it's the secret to getting the biggest pops possible! We all know this.

I know you geeks love that FTR theme (it's okay) but if they had some type of initial, loud and unique sound (Okada coin drop) their pops would go up by like 25% right now.


That's a FACT, Jack. I won't listen to anything different.

 

'I was in a living hell': Inside AEW star Jon Moxley's battle with alcohol addiction

 

A small personal anecdote for this Moxley story. I am always weary about sharing stuff like this, and it's not like this happens all the time but, right before Mox went to rehab, like a week before, I got a call from an acquaintance i know who works a lot in the overall non-WWE wrestling scene saying he has a friend who really needs treatment but has no insurance. Another friend of theirs was going to cash pay for them (that's at least like 35 to 40k) and he knows I work in the rehab biz so I connected him with a place I know is great.

I assumed it was a wrestler needing it, and I found out later it was, I won't say who that person was but the person doing the cash pay for them was Jon. It blew me away to see his news a week after, and it just made me such a massive fan. I'd imagine that was a one of the moments of self reflection for him leading up to this all.

 

His conversation with Renee she posted this week was pretty tremendous. Great insight into his experience leading up to rehab and since resuming wrestling. Also always fun to hear their dynamic and chemistry, because they probably don't strike many people as a likely couple.

 

Speaking of Vol 4…
