Oh, no poo poo he was on the CZW card? The guy is a goddamn trooper, for real. Wrestled at SCI on friday. CZW Saturday. SUP sunday. Please tell me he's resting today. Janela is a really super cool dude. He sat with me and a couple of other marks and Gary Jay at a dinner after round one of SCI. We talked synthwave for a bit. Was kind of hoping he'd listen to some of my WIP music, but I was too star struck to ask.

so what I learned here is that a lot of people aren't familiar at all with Joey Janela

The worst/best thing about the spot is Lio's angry tough man face that he pulls when he gets up

He was supposed to work both nights of SCI but Lio requested him for CZW and apparently CZW covered his whole travel for the weekend to make up for it He looked like death warmed over on Sunday at SUP but at least he resurrected country music

You got any other hot gossip from the weekend? My buddy tells me the NXT Superfans did some linecutting and got full diapers when they showed up late and didn't have front row seats saved for them(because they're special)

Not really. Tank did a shoot interview now that he is retired and poo poo on a bunch of people. Steve Dave brought condoms hoping to bed a ring rat. Everyone still hates Paul Lee.

Yeah I wad curious what Tank's poo poo with "setting the record straight on the Mike Levy incident" was since it all seemed pretty straightforward at the time and nobody's story has changed since

Wish I knew to post about drama in here when Sonjay Dutt made Jimmy Rave go home after like 8 minutes by slapping his belly, making the ref count the 3, and then angrily going to the back at the Nova Pro show in May. The match seemed fine to that point. But then again I doubt there is any sort of "inside" line on the Nova Pro locker room.

Jimmy Rave also no showed the JLIT for AIW and disappeared from twitter for awhile around the same time. I know he was in the hospital for a staph infection and was trying to sell old gear to make money. All I know its he way out of shape, and hasn't had good matches in a long while no matter what a handful of hayseeds on Twitter say.

The_Rob posted:It's not like he didn't take the spot though. I bet it hurt like hell. He's just that strong and rad. Also it's loving CZW I've seen some of the dumbest spots I've ever seen in that company. Who gives a poo poo. Usually when someone in CZW takes an astoundingly stupid bump they have the decency to stay down for a bit, if only because they can't physically get back up. And did Onita actually go through with the match? He's teased doing the exploding barbed wire match in the US so much I figured it was another one of those and that he was just going in real deep this time with the ruse.

Onita nor the other FMW guys took explosion bumps. Ricky Shane Page ate the pin off of WING Kitamura(?). Meanwhile Tremont and Onita got caught on barbed wire and decided to hang out. It was glorious.

Yeah if it was a cool tough guy like Keith Lee no selling that spot it'd be one thing. But instead it was whiny baby man Lio Rush, which makes him look more like a try hard than he already comes off as.

Capsaicin posted:What's the deal with WrestleCircus and why do people seem to hate it? Various reasons. The Chikara True Believers think that Gentleman Jervis is a traitor for daring question the might Quakenbush. There's a ton of poo poo going with that. WrestleCircus is a very new promotion and the people running it are new to the biz. They are making lots of mistakes, like the first shows not having food in the venue. They also complained about piracy which upset a lot of the people that were warming to the fed after seeing said pirated shows. Rumors about pay being late or money not secured abound too. However, they seem to be righting the ship with the twitch sponsorship, and making good utilization of the site's features. Cards have been looking better which helps improve people's reaction to them.

Norwegian Rudo posted:Oz is much more convenient for working Japan. I'm guessing he's incredibly beat up physically, so just working Japan and a few Aussie indies and resting up the rest of the time should be great for him. Yeah, New Japan & Ring of Honour are both his priorities since he's contracted to both but the difference between a ten hour flight to Japan and a flight from the UK being absurdly long thanks to having to do a transfer would be very attractive to Ospreay.

That whole piracy thing is particularly ironic since they've adopted a model of broadcasting to thousands of free viewers while a few hundred pay on Twitch. I hope it works out for them, but they're still only playing to the live crowd and there also might not be a worse chat experience on the entire site.

It was still shorter than their other shows. I know they had 8 scheduled, then the pre-show match with a dude named Meatball, a "match" where Lance Hoyt kicked him once then won, then Hoyt's open challenge. So technically yes, but even still it was done by 10:30 which meant we got to get chilli dogs and milkshakes before Sandy's closed. It was a good night.

The latest Wrestlecircus show had a crowd that I was actually certain existed for the main event, which is a massive improvement from the past twitch ones.

PIracy's just something you have to work around. The only solution is to get the price point cheaper than the effort to steal it. The twitch deal is in the right direction. They get a pipeline on that amazon money, plus the tipping online is pretty neat. I think that keeps the wrestlers interested in dropping by more than anything.
