Since I posted Jon Moxley’s inaugural promo in Florida Championship Wrestling, I might as well do the same for Claudio Castagnoli, or as you may have seen on Twitter, MISTER Antonio Cesaro. The usual slightly stilted delivery by the multilingual athlete, but he gets across his character and intentions clearly. Im namen der independents.

Our DVD review series moves on with Supercard of Honor VI, ROH’s first show under the Sinclair regime. The card might not have been quite super, but was the show?

This time out, it’s the debut taping for the Sinclair TV show, featuring three title matches and other high-profile matches. In [...]

Gabe Sapolsky’s EVOLVE put on another show from Time Square with a good amount of buzz behind it, available on live iPPV for all the world to see. I ordered it, and even though it’s late, I decided to share some thoughts on it.

Hot off the ‘Tube, it’s Jon Moxley’s debut on Florida Championship Wrestling television (as Dean Ambrose), interviewed by Dolph Ziggler’s brother and cutting a promo on his intentions in Tampa. Those intentions look to begin with Tyler “Seth Rollins” Black. Watch it here. I was smiling ear to ear just like Regal.
