Riddle was advertised for a PCW show, but apparently PWG gave them hush money to book Riddle and not have PCW say that Riddle couldn't be booked.

Unless their next show is January 20th that sounds like bullshit. I got PCW tickets too, but I don't think they are doing same day shows or anything.

Preston City Wrestling in England not Pacific Coast Wrestling. A month ago he was scheduled to wrestle Johnny Moss but PCW said Moss would wrestle Ryback instead, and that they would announce a new opponent for Matt. They never did.

IPW:UK basically confirmed this on Twitter when they said he would make their show tomorrow night but that suddenly his flight cost a lot more because they weren't splitting it with PCW

Ah ok. I assumed Pacific Coast because he was booked for a show there and couldn't make it to that one either.

Good show but nothing earth-shattering. Was hoping for some debuts, but it was definitely nice to see Candice and ACH back. The opener was really good, it was probably my second favorite match on the card after the tag team match. Main event was good but way too long just like their first match.

Trent-ZSJ was probably my favorite match on the last AAW show, too. Japan did that dude good.

He specifically brought up the Willie Mack situation in terms of not wanting to jump the gun until it's a done deal.

Full results:


Trent? def. Candice LeRae
Trevor Lee def. ACH
Matt Sydal def. Pete Dunne
reDRagon def. Death by Elbow
Chuck Taylor def. Adam Cole to become #1 contender to the PWG World Championship
Matt Riddle and Jeff Cobb def. the Young Bucks (non-title match)
Zack Sabre Jr. def. Marty Scurll to retain the PWG World Championship

Finn Balor just appeared at the OTT show in Dublin, place went mental. I got to too sweet him so that means we're superfriends now.

Ospreay and Ricochet was great. Ricochet got thrown into the crowd above the ring, and then Ospreay jumped from the ring onto him. Then , while Ospreay was showboating beside me, Ricochet jumped from somewhere I Couldn't see to wipe him out. Amazing match. just amazing. I recommend trying out floslam to see it.

Paying off other promotions to let wrestlers drop out of bookings certainly doesn't jive with the 'PWG pays wrestlers like poo poo' stuff that was going around prior to this, either.

I wonder if had something to do with Riddle's airfare to the U.K. If they'd already bought the ticket and were going to throw a poo poo fit if they didn't get that money back. So PWG paid PCW the cost of the ticket to keep them cool.

Is there a writeup or a summary of the various available streaming services for indie wrestling available currently? This seems like a p. hot time to get back into watching, but I have no idea what's available for streaming where and what offers the most bang for your buck.

This article is slightly outdated but a pretty good write up on the different services out there http://wrestlingwithwords.com/the-definitive-guide-to-wrestling-streaming-services/

FloSlam isn't in the article but so far it's been a very good service for all the WWN shows. The back catalog for DGUSA, Evove, Shine, etc are slowly being added in.

Few future ones to look out for is powerbomb.tv (promising a really diverse selections with indies from the south, Canada, Mexico, and even Italy) and DDT Universe.

Ones I like are Beyondemand, CZW Studios, Highspots Wrestling Network, and FloSlam.

WWE's UK strategy is in response to ITV wanting to do a wrestling show. WWE has plans on the books for opening regional touring brands for years but it took the spectre of world of sport to activate them.

I think the FloSlam thing is being overplayed. Balor keeps tabs on OTT (and believe me a lot of stuff else), had a hand in training a lot of the OTT roster and was simply in the Country. He was always attending that show. If it airs on VOD and FloSlam then that's a bit more interesting.

I imagine visiting is fine, but getting on a VOD or live stream is what will make it interesting.

Yes. He took a very long vacation the last two years over here. He has spent the last few weeks travelling around Europe.

He's well ahead of schedule in his recovery. The fear now is him jumping the gun and reinjuring himself.

Also, interest check in a meetup thread? Wanna have a beer with some goons and talk about the HH raft.
