Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

Axel Dieter Jr is bonkers talented and has one of the best looks in wrestling. Hoping for him to join up with Thatcher in EVOLVE to make Ringkampf a thing in the states.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
What happened to all those UK indies + Gabe working with NXT and having their shows up on the WWE Network?

FloSlam threw a ton of money at Gabe to broadcast his WWN/EVOLVE shows and he took it

HHH decided he can just kill off all the UK promotions instead and harvest their talent

kakarot ain't got shit on me
I went to see the Hardys last night at a local promotion called IWC. WWE didn't allow them to wrestle(boooo) but those guys are so over it was fun to see just a promo especially if its one of the last Broken appearances. Ryback was there. i cheered for the big guy

Britt Baker vs Rachael Ellering was match of the night easily. Britt also had a line for pictures that seemed to last the entire show while she wasn't wrestling.

There was a lumberjack guy who everyone loved. He showed up in the crowd after his match but wearing a different flannel; which i respect.

Progress and ICW are still expected to turn up on the network. Nobody really knows why they're not announcing it, the commom belief seems to be the agreements were signed in January.

Also during a twitter exchange Progress seemed to be hinting they very well might have a show during Summerslam weekend.

The Holly Cousins team was fun, as was the period where he was a super heavyweight, as were some of his hardcore matches. I'm not gonna pretend I love the guy, but he could be fun in the right situation.

I mean, I haven't paid enough attention to wrestling in years to really have a fair opinion. But on some level it feels like of Hardcore Holly can be reformed and have a nostalgia run on the internet and indies than truly, anyone can.

Is there some basic summary of what was in the book that changed the impression of him? I really haven't paid any attention so I have no idea. Or is it just some deeply humanizing read or something?

He's just refreshingly honest, which is too rare in a wrestling book. He seems aware of his faults and it made me sympathize with him because of how much he got hosed around.

I mean, I don't agree with a lot of what he did, but I came away from it feeling like he wasn't a huge piece of poo poo like I did before.

He owns up to his reputation full stop and doesn't make any excuses about who he was. He's not interested in playing politics at all so hes very honest about himself and the backstage environment in WWF at the time (and to this day based on recent developments)

John Thorne gives a brief update on what is going on with Chandler Biggins as well as the future of AIW. http://aiwrestling.libsyn.com/aiw-ep044-chandler-biggins-health-update

I suggest you listen for yourself but Biggins has been fighting serious bacterial infection and has had ten surgeries in 3 weeks. He may have to spend the next year in hospital.

The future of AIW is very much in doubt.

Smash and WCPW are doing back to back shows on Mother's Day for WCPW's World Cup

Smash show is looking good so far:



Here's the list of Canada's competitors for the World Cup:
Michael Elgin
Kyle O'Reilly
Harry Smith
Rene Dupree
Tyson Dux
Brent Banks
Tarik
Franky the Mobster

Also good news for locals who haven't been following Smash lately is that they moved back downtown to the Phoenix. I was kind of bummed since I live near the old location, but it's good for them to be in a better place downtown.

What's the Phoenix like as a venue for wrestling? Is the balcony assigned seating?

Yeah the balcony is classed as VIP, so reserved seating. It's a good venue imo, better than FHCC in pretty much every way other than location for me.
