was Leon slater the first person to do a 450 swanton. if it wasn't him who was

He's the first one I know to do it. I reached out to Stephen Jensen and David Bixenspan to see if they had heard or seen of anyone else doing it before him, and they couldn't think of anyone. Jensen said that he's seen Slater do it for years.

When FTR referred to Juice Robinson as mr. Toni Storm, was that a mistake? Is there relationship acknowledged in AEW Kayfabe?

It wasn't a mistake, just a nod to people who know. It's almost never acknowledged on AEW TV, but it's not exactly a secret. Toni Storm is pretty clearly in a kayfabe relationship with Mina Shirakawa on TV, which is repeatedly referenced. It wasn't a mistake, though. I think AEW just expects that a majority of their audience already know, and it's a nice easter egg to throw in there. I'm sure it wasn't an accident though.

One of my favorite characters from Lucha Underground used to be Marty the Moth (Martin Casaus). Figured after LU, he'd end up in WWE, ROH or TNA, but he never showed up anywhere. Did he decide to go into a different career path? Thanks.

He was on Tough Enough back in the day, but never got a real WWE look after that. He did get a look from TNA/Impact back in 2018 and 2019. He worked a number of matches in AEW in 2021, and then one in ROH in 2023, so AEW has used him a few times. These days, he pretty well just wrestles on Rocky Mountain Pro. He also worked the Ring Warriors company that was on WGN in 2018. To say he went in a different career path is an understatement -- he's in Power Slap now. He was actually beat Zicky Dice a few months ago.
