MLW - Jimmy Yang vs Sonjay Dutt (22.08.2003)
3.8/10
Such a cool match to book! Yang is really good in this fast paced junior matches with key action spots but that don't go to epic stretches. He tries to do a lot with Dutt and some of the spots they pull out make the crowd go wild.
The problem is Sonjay not being prepared to have a cohesive match. He has personality, presence and is very athletic and inventive with spots but he needs to work the edges, little things, sell well and consistently, don't look awkward going from spot to spot, etc. In CZW everyone is in this same spot so it's harder for him to learn.
This match has moments of true greatness and moments where it simply dies and there's no intent on working holds, try to get out from them, etc.
It's a shame they never wrestled again because this feels like a prototype for a great match.

There’s a shape….a ghost haunting @PlanetWilliams1.
@DerekNealPro is living rent free in The Dead Ringer’s head. Mind Games are one thing, but a man torn? That’s another animal entirely.
@StiffRoboGinger’s bewilderment speaks for us all 💯

To everyone so eager to cancel someone for a tattoo they got at age 22, a drunk text, a selfie they took in the middle of a mental health crisis:
Show us your laptop.
Show us your iCloud.
Open your entire digital life to your worst enemy. No context. No filter. No explanation.
You won’t.
You won’t because you know what I know. Any one of us, frozen at our worst moment, photographed in our lowest hour, looks like a monster. Looks like a stranger. Looks like someone who deserves to be cast out.
That is not who we are.
My mom and baby sister were killed in a car accident when I was just a kid. Cancer took my brother Beau, my best friend and my rock. I battled alcoholism. I battled addiction. I chose the coward’s way out more times than I can count.
For years I believed the defining chapters of my life were written by tragedy, loss, and shame.
I no longer believe that.
Pain can shape us. Loss can humble us. Failures can leave scars that never fully fade. But none of them have the authority to define us.
And it sure as hell ain’t the critic that counts.
That authority belongs to us alone-the person in the arena.
Every setback presents a choice. Play the victim, or cut the bullshit and take ownership for who we become next.
Life does not determine our character. It reveals it.
Again and again we are asked the same question. When shit happens, what next?
We are not defined by what happened to us. We are not defined by the worst photo, the worst text, the worst tattoo, the worst night. We are defined by the person we choose to become. And by the courage to choose that person, every single day.
So before you reach for the gavel - show us your laptop.
You won’t.
The whole world saw mine. And I am still here. Still becoming. Still choosing. Still standing.
That is the only definition that matters.
@lernvsradio Laughed out loud at your comment about how you pronounced Bowles Ave. like "Bowels". When I started doing comedy open-mics, one of my earliest joked was about just that. 😆
