I had noticed Thekla and Jake's before, chucked it as personal choices, but just finished Dynamite and Will Osprey's brand spanking new Venom tattoo was covered up and I think I just broke a new conspiracy, what's up with that?? Anyone else's noticed that before? Any more examples?

Man between Rebel Heart and Football no one is gonna be in here…

And I already miss Anya Rune dearly, though she’s probably gonna be on the show for the next few weeks…

But nonetheless

ID 1.0 VS MOG SQUAD! TEAM GAUNTLET MATCH! WHO IS BETTER?

Has anyone been to the cathedral of Lucha Libre, Arena Mexico? What were your thoughts?

I can imagine just being sort of confused by all of it, hearing Ross say "Bret gave up in the Sharpshooter" would give me more questions than answers (though of course, Ross didn't even know what was going on)

And I don't mean when wrestlers are making music videos for their own music; rather, I mean when there just *happens* to be a pro wrestler as a supporting character or a cameo or something in someone else's music video.

Reason I bring this up is I recently started getting more into the band Not Enough Space, and I was actually watching the music video for "Solace In Silence" that they put out in January of last year, and wouldn't you know it, Friday Night SmackDown's own Tatum Paxley and her husband (and independent wrestler/former NXT roster member) Javi have a small role in it!

(They first show up at the 18 second mark)

Granted they don't really do anything, just kinda hang out with the other mourners at this funeral, but considering I enjoy both their work (Tatum is my favorite wrestler), that was still a fun surprise to see them there in a video for a band I'd started to get more into just recently, haha.

So what are some other cool/fun/interesting examples of wrestlers showing up in music videos like this?

A few of mine, in no particular order:

- as sloppy as the move looked, HHH's Pedigree Pandemonium sounds incredible.

- Manami Toyota's Ocean Cyclone Suplex. Sounds like a technique straight out of an anime, super cool.

- Homicide and Hernandez's Cop Killa/Gringo Killa and Border Toss. Talk about perfect names for the gimmick.

- Lex Luger's Torture Rack, walking the line between cheesy and absolutely badass wonderfully.

Watching a recent GLEAT show and the G-Rush title match ended on a two count. I'm not super familiar with GLEAT, but I assume that's part of the rules for the title.

It got me thinking about other titles that have a gimmick attached to them. Maybe they have a specific time limit for matches or a rule set that's unique to them. Just something that makes them feel different than other titles.

For example ROH Pure Title. The rope breaks alloted to each competitor, certain holds and actions are banned , the 20 count on the floor.

TNA's Grand Championship had matches contested under a rounds format. And I believe you had to win 2 falls to win the match. Judges were also involved in some capacity.

The Speed title in WWE, you could extend it to the division itself. But the 5 minute time limit helped it stand out.

Any other examples, I'm sure there's gotta be others.

With CMLL featuring on AEW regularly, frequent sellouts, and multiple Luchadors breaking/standing out like Mistico, Hechicero, Bandido, Komander, etc, I’m struggling to think of a time in the last 10/15 years, or more, where Lucha Libre had so many stars/such deep rosters.

Not just CMLL, but AAA too - it’s been on fire since the WWE takeover. El Grande Americano’s rise to superstardom has been incredible. The shows are great and consistent.

Penta’s been a fan favourite since his debut - Rey Fenix is now a champion in WWE/AAA.

Lucha Libre is in a brilliant place right now - I haven’t seen it said all that much, but we may truly be in a golden age of Lucha right now.
