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.

After watching him in both ROH and PWX, I think that was about him being booked like a young boy who wasn't ready yet, which was definitely his story as part of the Decade.

If the promotions talked about in the article interest you at all Party World Wrestling has links to shows (for free I think) on their website, Olde Wrestling is coming to PowerbombTV, and Hoodslam streams on youtube whenever that launches

The guy who did the CZW Vice documentary did an article http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/the-ten-most-surprising-things-i-saw-at-tournament-of-death?utm_source=vicefbca

quote:

When we went to return the rental van, the employee inspecting it for damages freaked when he looked on the vehicle's roof and saw it was caked with blood and scratched beyond belief. I wanted to tell him it was from that moment when Ricky Shane Page and Tim Donst fought on top of it, but instead I said I didn't know what had happened and it was OK because we paid for the insurance.

WWN is excited to announce Style Battle, a new promotion which will feature a tournament on every show. Style Battle will premiere on January 7th at The Orpheum in Ybor City, FL. We'll have ticket and more information soon at the all new WWNLive.com. Style Battle will live stream exclusively at FloSlam.tv.

Style Battle will be the ultimate test for competitors. It will provide a new opportunity for wrestlers. Each Style Battle will feature a variety of wrestling styles. We will find out who is truly the most skilled on every event.

Style Battle has been an annual tournament in EVOLVE since 2011 with various formats. Now it will occur almost monthy with an eight man, single elimination tournament. Style Battle will take place in "seasons." Each season will consist of nine events. There will be eight tournaments. The eight winners will then be in Style Battle Season Finale on the ninth event of the season. This will determine the Style Battle Champion of that season. In the event that all the winners aren't available, Style Battle will pick an "all star" substitute who impressed in a previous tournament.

"Tournaments can provide drama and excitment unlike anything else in wrestling," WWN VP Of Talent Relations & Creative Gabe Sapolsky said. "This will be a unique opportunity for upcoming wrestlers, today's stars and veterans looking to prove something to showcase their wrestling style."

"This adds more diversity to the WWN lineup on FloSlam," WWN President Sal Hamaoui said. "FloSlam will now have Style Battle, EVOLVE, FIP, SHINE, ACW and WWN Supershows. Each brand will bring something different to the Network. This gives the fans even more value for their money."

WWN will announce the participants and more details in the upcoming weeks.

I watch their annual tournaments and that's it. They're usually great and while I do enjoy the local names I don't enjoy them so much that I'm motivated to spend another $10 a month on another wrestling promotin.

They've done an annual style battle for a while. Honestly don't know how they can come up with eight styles since indies are so homogenous outside of like lucharesu vs grapplefuck

ACH is on a Canadian tour for a Manitoba indy that runs my town regularly, I'm pretty psyched for flips. Plus he's bringing a student of his. Maybe that guy is good!

And possibly in an effort to bring in more PSP goons, Beer City Bruiser will be there.
