Is WCPW any good?

Also, is Joey Styles completely out of the picture or does he still do commentary for other promotions?

In that case the answer is any Indie guy who worked for a cup of coffee in WCW or who did like two matches on Velocity in the early 00s. I cant remember how many indie shows I saw back then listing people as "former WCW/WWF wrestlers!" and it ended up being a dude who jobbed to 2 Sexay on an episode of Heat before a PPV.

Did they introduce him like that because that's a pretty obscure thing to remember.

They're really a pretty okay indy. They've had some pretty memorable world title reigns (Drake Younger, Chris Hero, Jon Moxley, Drew Gulak). Their school is responsible for training Adam Cole (Bay Bay). They helped break Kevin Steen, El Generico, and the SSB's into the U.S.

They're also one of the only groups smart enough to push Jon Gresham at the moment.

Anyways tonight's Beyond Wrestling show was very good overall. Riddle vs Tremont was pretty much what you'd expect between those two. Post match Tremont said he's bringing the barbed wire.

I recommend waiting until BOLA is added later on in the sale period and then getting all three nights, Thirteen, and Bowie. If we're including stuff from the end of 2015, All-Star Weekend 11 is worth getting too. Night 1 isn't great as a standalone show, but Night 2 is amazing and even better if you have the context from the first night.

I said it when I was there. But ASW 11 night 2 is one of the best booked and paced wrestling shows I have ever seen. It has every type of wrestling a fan could want and every match is placed exactly where they should be.

I've never watched their youtube stuff but I've been to a few of their live shows in Newcastle (and going to the next one to see BROKEN matt hardy) and have enjoyed every show.

They always have a good selection of high tier British indie lads and then one or two money mark gets. Seeing Minoru Suzuki live in Newcastle was amazing.

Michael Elgin is a good dude I hope this takes off and he doesn't fall into a money pit with this. He's always been about putting a spotlight on guys he's a fan of sometimes even at his own expense so I hope this can at minimum break even. St Louis is a good town. The midwest will continue to rise as the premiere territory in the US

Gabe is taking full booking duties of FIP now.


WWN posted:

Ybor City, FL- Gabe Sapolsky, WWN VP Of Talent Relations & Head Of Creative, will take over booking duties of Full Impact Pro Wrestling effective immediately. FIP "Everything Burns 2016" on January 8th at The Orpheum in Ybor City, FL will be the start of a new era. All FIP events will be exclusively live streamed at FloSlam.tv.

"Our partnership with FloSlam has already raised the profile of FIP," WWN President Sal Hamaoui said. "We are now looking to deliver an exciting, dynamic and unique type of brand to the FloSlam audience every month. FIP is going to go a long way in giving the fans the most value for their dollar with FloSlam."

Sapolsky will take FIP in a completely different direction than the other brands in The WWN Family. FIP will have its own identity complete with exclusive talent and storylines.

"FIP is going to be the Wild West," Sapolsky said. "When people think of me now, they think of EVOLVE. This is not going to EVOLVE 2.0 at all. It's going to add something totally new to The WWN Family."

The FIP talent roster will undergo changes. There will be several returning FIP favorites and lots of new debuts. Already set for January 8th are:

-FIP World Heavyweight Champion Fred Yehi
-FIP Florida Heritage Champion Martin Stone
-AR Fox
-Sami Callihan
-Shane Strickland
-Dezmond Xavier
-Jon Davis
-Dave Crist
-Darby Allin
-Sammy Guevara
-Jason Cade
-Austin Theory
-Anthony Heny
-Plus more will be added!!!

03-04 CZW was this fun mix of guys not quite on ROH's radar (KOW, Supa D, Roddy, etc) and their homegrown deathmatch guys who weren't completely broken down yet (Gage, Pain, Havoc). It was like a higher budget IWA-MS.

So of course LORD ZANDIG screws it all up.

Mike Burns had the books for a while until 2005 when Zandig shoved him down the stairs at Cage of Death 7 backstage (for putting together a CZW vs ROH feud for 2006). Then when Zandig wanted to "bring it back to 99," it lead to bad booking and low attendance after doing shows with 600+ for regular shows and 800+ for the bigger shows.

Just finished night 2 of the X-16 tournament. It's definitely worth your time checking out. I didn't think much of Ethan Case from his one match at Beyond Wrestling last year but I'm now a fan. Anthony Henry owns and should get more bookings. Colby Corino I wasn't expecting to be as good as he is based on what I've seen in ROH. Clearly I need to watch more of PWX's back catalog.
