Chikara has a streaming service, its completely their thing but the live streaming is a Power Bomb TV deal(which I think is still behind Chikara's paywall) Most indies have a pivotshare(ala carte VOD or monthly all you can watch), with HighSpots being an aggregator of a lot of them. CZW and OTT are good examples. ROH and WWN both have their own thing and I have not heard a lot of positive noises out of either. Though I'm told you can watch DGUSA on WWN's which is worth the timewarp.

Like is it worthwhile and practical to subscribe for a few months and binge the last few years because some of that sounds kind of fun and interesting. They have a seven-day trial if you want to give it a shot, but it's done right by me. I haven't had any issues with it. You get the whole Chikara library (not counting the Wrestling Is stuff, which is no big loss) and like I said earlier, live-streaming of every Wrestle Factory show. For this season there are about two Wrestle Factory shows per month, either in the form of a regular 3-hour show or their Hour of Power, which is a handful of matches and a couple storyline developments tossed in. If anything, binge on all of King of Trios. They're always fun, even if the first two years are bloated as hell.

PWG, CZW, AAW, Defy, PCW Ultra, Bar Wrestling, PWX, NEW, Wrestling Revolver, WXW, some good documentaries and a fuckload of shoots. It’s absolutely worth the money and they add stuff all the time.

Gavok posted:Quack went a long stretch where he was "retired," but wrestled on the side as El Hijo del Ice Cream, which isn't the most physically demanding. He remained an on-air character as commentator and authority figure, coming back to wrestle for special matches like a series with Johnny Kidd or an angle culminating in Max Smashmaster's retirement match. Recently, he just put over the company's champion. So they've cooled their heels a ton. I forgot about the Kimber Lee Grand Champion thing. Which folkd of the new bunch are worth checking out?

Razerhawk from the Xyberhawx 2000 (which is supposed to be reversal of the New Breed/Tekno Team 2000 gimmick, kind of like that Jetsons episode of Harvey Birdman), Solo Darling, Travis Huckabee, Merlok, Oceanea and the Whisper. Other new guys are hide to gauge so far, but they at least have prime gimmicks/storylines to keep the bloom on the rose. Unfortunately they recently lost their awesome ring announcer Vlad Radinov, who really added a lot to the shows.

Meanwhile In DDTquote:Here's the set up to Shinichiro Tominaga Vs Mineo Fujita on the 17/6 Ganpro show: Fujita has a fed called Chinko Pro Wrestling. Low blows are allowed in his main events. Fujita is closing the fed down because he has dick injuries. Tominaga wants a match before the fed is closed.

Super Indy 2017 was great and every match on the tourney was worth buying it wherever IWC puts their shows on. The opening match and the finals were definitely up there (Finals are a MOTYC for me) Only bad parts were some of the local stuff wasn't that hot (there is this giant guy with a great look, but he's much weaker than a tall muscle guy lets on) Only really bad part was I got a severe migraine by the end of the tourney, so I got an autograph with Janela and had to drive 45 of the worst goddamn minutes of my life where I thought I was going to throw up, get in a car accident, die, or all of the above.

I thought it was Too Much. I don't understand how he let the night shows start to creep above 3 hours and why he keeps letting them stay there. The afternoon show Saturday was barely 2 hours and it was nice. Anyway, I got these: https://twitter.com/Boco_T/status/1005297446300344320 https://twitter.com/Boco_T/status/1005949364311875584

neonbregna posted:Agreed. While everything was good the crowd seemed to get fatigued during the last third. I wonder if it would make sense for them to run a show every 3 weeks or so Then again, I think Mike King gets the undercards for basically free, there seem to be a lot of lower level people that will drive in from Ohio or Georgia or whatever to wrestle 5 minutes on the pre-show. And there is a chance of it paying off to some degree, I mean Isaiah Frazier has languished here for a year or more and he got to wrestle Nick Aldis for the NWA title. Also in case you didn't see it, the lol / groan of the weekend was that Brad Stutts was doing commentary on the Friday pre-show and people at the show gave him poo poo for it so he tweeted that Brad will no longer be appearing. Then his wife tweeted out like "Mike came home crying because Social Justice Warriors made him tell his close friend that he couldn't work his wrestling shows any more"

You are going to get a reaction/rejection if you return unannounced after six months without warning, an apology or explanation. Mike probably thought he was doing right by a close friend and had his judgment clouded. To a certain degree, I feel bad for Stutts as the prostitution ring aspect as overblown from the people I've talked to. Also, Brad seems to have completely distanced himself from Charlie Armstrong. However, he probably can't say that publicly or talk about what happened in the past as Charlie is a fraudster and bad dude so there's probably a fear of a reprisal. But if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas so....
