I know Lawler is a piece of shit and did a whole lot of stuff he shouldn't but it's hard seeing him now. We all remember Attitude Lawler and now he's a stuttering old man with brain turning to mush.

I have to say that i'm legit surprised that WWE seems to have gotten Danhausens vibe down 100%. He's only been there a couple of weeks and is over as fuck.

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.

Shithole indy promotion run by faggot grifter Al Snow, OVW, is in hot water after a botch caused a referee to have a seizure. They proceeded to PUSH HIM OUT OF THE WAY to continue their shit match as the ref continues to convulse. OVW issued a response, with locked replies, as Al Snow continues to say nothing.

The family of the referee has confirmed he is conscious in the hospital, but did suffer a legitimate brain injury.

That ref sold more in 3 minutes that the entire aew locker room has sold in 7 years.

He's being his usual lunatic shtick self when interacting with people. His delusional deadpan act is hilarious. It is unfortunate he's not credible in the right but there's money in him being a moutpiece for a faction.

For anyone unfamiliar with OVW's current situation, there's a great documentary Netflix produced called "Wrestlers". It's worth seeking out and gives good insight into how delusional Al Snow can be. The most breakout star we got from it was Hailey J and while I'm not personally a fan of women's wrestling, she's probably the most endearing women's wrestler around today and I make it a point to watch her stuff if she's on a show. Shera from TNA is a big focus too.

The death of Pepper really did a number on him it seems.

I'd heard about the clip, but it's so much worse than I expected. There's no excuse for the wrestler who rolled the referee after that.

Why are they doing a spot like that anyways? "Okay, you do a corkscrew diving elbow and land on the untrained dude who looks like a twig for the ref bump!" Nigger, you could cough on the ref the wrong way and have him bump out of the way for 5 minutes. They should have known better than to do something so stupid onto an untrained person.

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"?!

tl;dr concussion and brain bleed, but will go home tomorrow if the CT scan goes well, "not mad at anyone or anything other than the situation as a whole"

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'd say hotdog and a handshake but it's OVW, so he probably at least got a warm cheeseburger and a hug for risking his life. There's levels to the dog shit gymnasium indy promotions.

If the bleed was small enough it could be reabsorbed on its own, but given his presentation right after injury (seizure, posturing, etc...) there is an extremely good chance he needed a burr hole craniostomy.

I think this is exactly what happened if you look at his picture here. You can see his hair is very obviously asymmetric, when it was symmetric during the show, and you can clearly see the bald spot they had to shave to do the craniostomy. A craniostomy means they drill right through your skull, and the tough membrane that surrounds it so they can remove the blood that is progressively building up under that membrane inside his head and would eventually kill him.

I'm kind of surprised he didn't mention that he actually needed interventional brain surgery to save his life, and his life was very much in danger, since an untreated, progressive subdural hematoma is nearly universally fatal. I have a feeling he was told or is being coerced to keep the extent of his medical intervention under wraps so people don't freak out at the wrestling morons more than they have. I disagree with this stance, he should shame them for pushing him out of the way while he bleed into his brain and he required someone to burr a hole in his skull and evacuate the blood trapped in it using interventional brain surgery otherwise he was going to die. That seems like something of which people should be made aware.

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
Ref: Yeah yeah, I'm going to take a bump during the match I'm sure it's going to be fine you guys are pros or whatever *cracks another beer*
Promoter: You're SURE you want to do this?
Ref: Yes MOM, Jesus. I just smoked some meth with a ring rat in the parking lot, I'm not going to feel a fucking thing.
*Minutes later*
*Fish dancing in the ring*

How bad are these small promotions compared to Nick Gulas's NWA Mid-America in the day? The story about Nick's son and Ultimate Nepobaby George Gulas say the "it's like a picnic" comment goes to show that even the shitty ass food never changes with them.

This is why flippy shit needs to end. The smallest fuck up like this and someone is in a wheelchair. No one even cares any more, there's no pop for jumping around like this. It's over exposed, it's boring and it's dangerous. So lets go back to wrestling and stop before Droz becomes the default ending to every wrestler's career.

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.

Say what you want about modern wwe or aew or tna or big Japanese promotion, but seldom do those guys turn into vegetables these days. Thats mostly due to the work behind the scenes theyve put in to recognize when shit goes wrong and improv on the fly. As shitty and flippy and flashy botch heavy the modern wrestler have become have became they atleast are all on the same page regarding safety. And even when they fuck it up the people behind the scenes are for the most part competent enough to recognize when its time to intervene or improv for the sake of safety. They may not always produce a convincing product, but everyone walks away. Theres a reason you go to a droz a dude who was crippled nearly 25 years ago. Theres a culture of safety in the big organizations. I winge more at a piledriver in a indie show than some flip from the top rope.

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.
 
AEW handing out multi-million dollar contracts is in no way sustainable, and MJF talking about pay made me wonder, what happens when this unsustainable practice finally reaches it's logical conclusion?

The pessimist in me wants to say that when AEW goes bust, these people will expect massive paydays from every other promotion they go to, because being retarded and entitled seem to go hand-in-hand.

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.

In which case the most likely inevitable sperg outs over pay will still be funny.

I don't believe in those stories. I'm sure AEW pays the wrestlers a lot, ridiculously more than what they'd make anywhere else and probably more than what they'd get in WWE. But not millions per top guy like some niggas rumor. It's too retarded to be real.
