I never liked the Emerald Frosion as Misawa's final desperation move. It never had the impact it needed to be truly feared like Kobashi's Burning Hammer did.
I remember when Samoa Joe hit his Island Driver on Misawa and the crowd laughed as it was Misawa's move. Joe was never invited back to NOAH after that.

That website on their shirts makes me want to be like Jannetty and jump through a Barbershop window.

If the storyline is "Will Ospreay is a wasteman" then sure I guess it fits.

Agreed.
Though Dan Maff did it a lot on the indies in 2003.
It became the ultimate Indy move as every Indy guy wanted to be Kobashi yet wear Sabu pants.

Pretty much any move that looks like it's a significant blow to the head or neck should've stayed protected and sold as a potential and almost certain finish and the move dangerous the move or spot in a match the more it should be the finish because then where the fuck do you go from there? The DDT being turned into a transition move in the late 90s fucking killed me.
The over use of closed fist punches get on my nerves as well though for other but similar reasons but especially because hitting someone with a dozen punches to the face but not leaving a single mark kills it. I miss when they were supposed to be against the rules back when wrestling actually rules to adhere to. Say what you want about Bill Watts (fuck Bill Watts) but the idea of banning moves from the top rope and throwing guys over the top lead to DQs, as stupid as it was, still managed to garner heat for heels when they'd break those rules.

Wait till the production company's Paige movie flops
Can I say I'm fucking so glad the phase of shiny plastic bin bag pants on Indy guys has fell to the side lines.
From 1999 until 2012 it was the the hot thing it seemed. Hayabusa / Sabu themed. Super Dragon, Ric Blade and Sick Nick Mondo forerunners of the Indy Generation look.

Oh they're working themselves into a shoot. Nothing new.
I'm the most controversial figure here and I determine the ratings.
What will WWE get in exchange?
Huh. Strange. Dar working ICW.
Or does this mean 205 is about to die?
Huh. Strange. Dar working ICW.
Doesn't WWE have a loose ties with ICW and Progress? The heads of the companies were at the British tournament and both were rumored to be on the network at one point.
Will Dar bring Alicia Fox with him?
You missed the new wave of old man whining about indie gear: kick pads. Whine about kick pads and you'll fit right in.

I wonder if WWE will try and bring Paige back for something to advertise the movie.

They do, but they've never sent guys to wrestle there. The most they've done is send Finn to cut a promo, and that was only because they had to pull Foley from a that ICW show.
Maybe once they get ICW and Progress on the Network, they'll send more guys to work there?

Will another compelling storyline happen between July 2011 and WrestleMania 30?
But AJ Styles rocked them bad boys in 2003 too.
If you're going to kick a lot then kick pads make sense. Baggy sabu pants do not.
Yes

I really hate the baggy pants, the only guy I've even vaguely liked them on was Marufuji back when he kinda rocked them.
Sabu was fine too I guess?
tfw Grado will be playing the heel who sold out to work for a big American company against a guy who actually did that
Tajiri makes them work too.
WWE doesn't have enough power on the production end to rush production or cut corners. They are like 3rd or 4th on the production totem pole

Shit wait till the Jumanji remake of the Rock's bombs. After that this will be 2 bombs in a row for him.
Regardless, the people on this project know this movie isn't going to do well.
Why wouldn't it?
Great cast and very talented people on the production team. DP with an Oscar nom.
