Thanks for the info. I have the WWE Network, NJPW World and Melbourne City Wrestling (my local) at the moment so I think I'll go with Progress.

How is MCW? I just moved here in October and wanted to try and check it out. Is it in the city or some other suburb? And when should one purchase a ticket to a show?

Hard disagree to swapping CWF Mid-Atlantic and PWX. CWF has better production values, homegrown stars, and booking. I'm also pretty strong on Freelance Wrestling.

Like pop-up video factoids? That'd be a fun way to show old wrestling in general. Put Tenay and Karl Stern on the case!

Also speaking of, CWF's latest episode is a pop-up video tribute episode.

It's great. A lot of really good wrestlers working there at the moment. Adam Brooks and Jonah Rock both hold MCW belts and recently worked PWG. The two venues they run most often are the Thornbury Theatre and a smaller place in Essendon. I'm going to their end of year show on December 16th in Thornbury. I think for most shows you can safely get a ticket up til the day of the show if they don't have a big international appearing, but it's getting more popular all the time so that might change soon.

I always get weirded out when people talk about Melbourne Championship Wrestling since one of the my localish feds is also MCW, but the M is Maryland.

Fortunately, they put all their stuff up on Youtube, so you can see for yourself. Here's a tag team match from a few days ago:

I have another Progress question. Does the commentary change at some point? As of Chapter 12 it’s just been this one guy and he has absolutely zero energy or enthusiasm.

Watching Walter is the type of dude who makes me glad the idea of becoming a wrestler was a fleeting thought, wrestling him seems like it'd be intensely painful

it was an extremely good show live, if too long (my god that promo into intermission died a loving death). I didn't really "get" WALTER until that show; I thought the match maybe went too long but it was certainly effective in getting him enough heat to get the loudest boos of the night

Chapter 20 is when they switch from one-man prerecorded to a two-man live booth and it makes all the difference in the world. It's where I started and, though I would like to go back and watch some of those earlier shows, I haven't regretted it.

Heretic, please.
I really liked the show last night (though the main event disappointed me a little for some reason), but I really hope they don't keep the intermission. Their shows were already the perfect length, and it's not like Elmcor is in an area that's convenient to get to. Apparently they're coming back to the city in January and I'm hoping they don't go there again; the trip to/from Corona is just too much of a pain for me.

I haven’t watched much of it but I believe it’s a fun Texas indie that’s produced some good talent, plus Booker T runs it.

Pre-sale tickets for Melbourne City Wrestling aren't available anymore. So, what time should I show up to get a ticket at the door? I have a General Assembly class downtown until 4 p.m.

Doors are at 6:30 and as far as I'm aware you can't buy tickets at the door until then.

I've only ever bought tickets in advance so I'm not sure how early people line up, sorry!

The only thing that died (I didn't mind the intermission too much) was the Kincaid promo on Theory, you can barely hear the mike and no one cared what he had to say, one other slight thing that bothered me was the crowd focusing on the ref taking his shoes off, but Yehi and Riddle shut them up quick enough
