You know how like Lita did the one flip and no one ever remembers the guy she started with managing? Toni is like that. Her title matches against Io Shirai on STARDOM are pretty fuckin legit.

Well, Wrestle Circus's dumb idea to run a show during SXSW and offering free tickets to past customers has hosed up completely and watching them melt down on twitter at people asking what's going on has been hilarious. Now, they've cancelled all the tickets people RSVP'd through Eventbrite because it's been "abused" and they're just going to send out tickets in the next two days, and any previous ones are void. Anyone who registered but doesn't get one sent to them? gently caress you, get a SXSW badge.

I'm not going to be bummed if I end up not getting another ticket, because it will be hell getting to a 7pm show in downtown on Friday night in the middle of SXSW is going to be hell. Either way, I'm just hoping that the Inspire Pro show later this month draws well with the Keith Lee/Sami Callihan main event, and none of the talent at Wrestle Circus get hosed on their pay.

they're basically running like bullshit artist app developers because it's legit just a married couple who made their money in sales, and they've been hemorrhaging money. The only person around the management that has wrestling experience is the promoter's brother, Jordan Len-X, and everything else is just, "Wrestle Circus Club," merch and making four hour plus cards with no rhyme or reason. It's so short sighted and brazenly just some dickhead's bad investment, but at least I get to see more Jeff Cobb until the promotion dies.

Everyone is hot on it and it's going to get glowing reviews because they book all the indie talent they can, but knowing behind the curtain of the Austin scene makes it look scummy as gently caress.

Yeah that's my point. There are a lot of indies who think I wanna be the PWG of this region and they never understand what gave PWG so much good will in the first place.

Speaking of AAW: Due to Everett being unable to attend they have removed the Tag Titles and there's going to be a mini-tournament this Friday! :woop:

OI4K v Chucky T/Trent?

I think it's the fact that they have always managed to create a comfortable environment for wrestler and fan by treating them both with respect. Clearly it's a good place to work considering huge names continuously work there and as a fan I've never had a bad time at one of their shows. I also think the wrestlers booking wrestlers gimmick helps a lot. It's possible I'm speaking out of my rear end but I don't think any other Indy has gotten the good will and respect PWG has.

It also helps that PWG doesn't take themselves too seriously, which is a common indy promoter disease

Also they only do raffles sometimes and the raffles don't end up lasting like 20 minutes. Seriously what's the deal with indies doing raffles.

It's run by fellow wrestlers so they're not being bullshitted or stiffed.

They have a super devoted following now and guys know they'll make good merch money.

They don't try to gently caress the fans and in the event ticketing fucks up they've made good in fair ways.

They let the guys be themselves and do what they want to do.

It's an environment where they can go wrestle and put on a show that showcases why they do what they do with no fear of being treated like poo poo, which goes a hell of a long way in this business.

Nova Pro show last night was strong. All of the people I was seeing for the first time had good matches and I'd like to see them again: Rickey Shane Page, Alex Daniels, Rachael Ellering, Joey Janela, and Trevor Lee. Crowd was a little smaller than last month and extra annoying.

I'm excited for next month's Commonwealth Cup. They'll be back at the JCC. Also earlier this week they ran a story on Nova Pro in the Washington City Paper: http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/arts/blog/20854449/nova-pro-wrestling-profile

Alex Daniels I just saw for the first time in CWF against Chip Day and it was probably MOTN. Trev of course has been CWF champ for over a year with an incredible string of defenses.

Another fun part of the Wrestle Circus SXSW show is that people are getting upset that they're going to do bag checks with SXSW security in place. Wrestle Circus would probably report Fenix to ICE if he did an indie show in town the same weekend. And they definately made sure to say, "NO CAMCORDERS" in order to keep that 20k illegal stream views down.
