As someone who’s shared many rings and locker rooms with Slim when I was still working in the early-mid 2k’s, I can attest that there are ZERO lies or embellishments in this video. One of the most stand up guys in the business. His story is nowhere NEAR over. I hope to see him get his due at some point. Even if it’s going in the books as an indie god and trainer of massive talents.
Thank you!! I am from GA and have had to explain the same thing to fans who don’t know about Slim J aside from this little ROH run . He’s a solid main eventer here but he’s versatile too like he can be in the scramble or tag or opener
@@Makeadifferencedavid So glad there’s someone from the area who can back me up. He’s a once-in-a-generation talent who can do anything in any spot on the card. Any standout matches you’d recommend personally?
@@fourpillarsofhell3331 my favorite one live was him (as Gladiator Jeremiah ) vs CB Suave . Those two are maybe the most underrated showman style wrestlers in GA .
@@MakeadifferencedavidOne of the final matches cut from this video, I can’t believe I didn’t even mention it here. Spectacular choice, but I don’t think there’s a wrong answer! Thank you so much! I’d do anything to time travel back to Cornelia in those days and watch the angles live.
At my first glance at Slim I thought he was a goof , yet still entertaining . The I saw some stuff later that made he see him in a better light . But now after watching this , I am totally down with this guy ! It has been years since I watched Anarchy back when Rick Michaels and such were there . But I'm gonna check these matches out now . Him and Evans could have made a good breakdancing high flying team in WWE . It seems like that would catch on pretty big up there heh heh .
I remember when he was staging a massive indy run around 2017 if memory serves me right... but then he got injured and it stalled out his bookings. Seems he never has much luck, but he deserves his props and is an incredible worker in my eyes.
I honestly have absolutely no idea why Slim J wasn't a part of the TNA X-Division, while I haven't seen too much of his work, he seems like someone who would've done great in a division filled to the brim with so many talented dudes.
@Kaltagstar96 he was when tna got started. But apparently he got some bad advice from jeff Jarrett and made a gesture he wasn't supposed to make on tv and they proceeded to basically let him go. That's the story slim told me at least
@@punisher31024 Oh, yeah, this has just unlocked a memory and I remember seeing a clip on Twitter where Slim grabbed his junk and apparently that got him some heat backstage. Pretty petty reason for someone to get in trouble, honestly.
he walked into roh dressed like he was Jamie Kennedy from Malibu's Most Wanted so it was an uphill battle from the start, it's still just a hard look to pull off. and all he did was add a baseball hat matched with a white tank top to his wardrobe. I think if we got an old man silm j who did technical matches that lead to crazy stuff again but with better cameras, then yeah i'd watch that even on the indies, it's kind of a shame nobody took the time tell he wasn't a total goofball on tv but his history does contradict his tv interpretation
@@Turtlejohn8 what I meant to say is that he makes every match he’s in, from an undercard six-man to a main event singles, feel like it is the most important version of that type of match. Not every match feels like the biggest thing in the world, but he elevates matches that could have felt lesser into feeling more important. He gives you a reason to watch matches you might skip over or forget about in time.
@@Turtlejohn8 if you can’t parse what I’m trying to say that’s entirely on your reading comprehension skills. I am saying he makes everything feel like the most important possible version of a match for that place on the card, not the best possible version. Never said it was supposed to be the biggest deal in the world, or implied it, anywhere.
