Given what his hair looked like on the last Impact, I doubt there's any point to that, it'll just fall off and he'll run away.

I had wondered about this while watching MLW last night...is Swann balding?

He appears to have shaved the front part of his scalp off voluntarily. Maybe that's to cover balding but I have no idea how he thinks the current look is better. He looks ridiculous.

Very true, it looks like he ran out of his barbershop halfway through getting patterns shaved into his hair.

Yeah I’d agree with this. You can get super targeted with demographics, interests, etc.

Warning: photodump



I went and saw some wrestling today!


This suit exists.


A heroic pose as our face circles the heel



Unfortunately victory was not in the cards for our hero


The winner: a dastardly villain named Scott who won with a fingerhold when the ref stopped the match.




We meet our next face, Victor

As well as this absolute unit


Here the official is being really official


Things look bad for our hero


Luckily he reverses the finisher and picks up the win


The heel


Maybe impressed?

Nope it's just a ruse!


Not undertaker is here to take on not IRS




it goes about how you would expect


I bought not-IRS's T-shirt

Not undertaker wins and we move on to our match for the tag team championship....



Except our tag titles are being defended by only one guy, half of team sexy



Our challengers, ready to face the heel 2 vs 1..... ?


After this happened a ref bump gave the heel the distraction he needed





His celebration is short lived as three men (one with a bat) quickly go to work enforcing order in the match





Nows the chance!






It turns out five men really can beat one man



Challenging for the women's championship is a nefarious woman named Alien


And our face, The Golden Girl



I had a lot of trouble getting good shots of this match




Technically this was a lumberjack match but our special guest lumberjacks didn't necessarily know how they were supposed to fit into the match; Golden girl wins


Spooky skull man comes out for tonight's purge an I quit match


He isn't so spooky without his mask




Because it's an I Quit match mr skull announces that his opponent is going to have his wife at ringside as a surrogate(in case they need to throw in the towel for you). Mr skull is generally unlovable and so he has no wife, instead Mr Skull will be using Mr Chains as his surrogate in the match.


After a long wait our face (yellow) surprise attacks from under the ring!




Most of the match is outside the ring and the crowd was very sad because we wanted to be able to see the night's violence



Kinda proud of this one

Beautiful form


Yellow trunks wife gets into an altercation with Mr. Chains

Unfortunately during said altercation the face's towel ends up in the ring while the ref is out cold; the ref awakens to see the face in a submission hold with their towel on the ground in front of them

Proper heelwork from our winner mr skull


This guy had prepared quecards for our announcer; highlights include being listed at 190 pounds


Our hero; not Daniel Bryan


Powerful balance

The balance shifts

All over but the crying (not Daniel Bryan wins)




Our main event; introducing our challenger The Bad Guy From an Anime

Our face and current champ; Flex


Heel attacks face before the match; gets a bit of posing in

Using some rope or rag as a weapon


Our hero manages a reversal


Tries putting the big man to sleep; it's a no go


Things look bad here but the face gets a few desperate knees in and reverses the situation




Our face gets the pin and remains champion!



The crowd rushes in to celebrate


The jerk from the first match surprise attacks!



Our announcer asks why jerkface did the jerk thing; jerkface blows him off because he's a jerk


Our champ; barely standing but standing tall



Overall I had a bunch of fun! I'm really happy with some of these pics and I'd have more but it's hard to cheer properly AND get photos of the good spots; I hope you've enjoyed as well!

Nice post.

The only one I've seen out of all those people is The Abominable CPA but he was really good when I saw him.

Cory Lidle

Yeah, I recognize the Abominable CPA and Kris Statlander (alien chick). You're somewhere vaguely in the Northeast. CPA has a fun schtick, I think Kris went over her own head with the alien poo poo. Also, she basically does the Joey Ryan dickflip, but with telekinesis. I think she's young, so she gets a pass.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

CPA is goddamn great. Man spent like five minutes trying to dig me a medium t-shirt out of a pile of extra larges. "I didn't think to bring any of those!" "Look just give me a large, it's fine!"

Also Russo hates him for nebulous reasons, so there's another plus

He had medium at my show XD Also I'm down in southern North Carolina so they got pretty far down the coast! (Crowd was red hot almost the whole night they seemed very happy about that)

Yay! CPA Fan Club! I saw the match where the Breakfast Club and was sad. But then read he and Smart Mark Sterling are now in CZW and was happy (that they're going to get more exposure... not necessarily that it's CZW)

On the one hand, copying Suzuki is as good a reason as any to do that to your hair. On the other hand, copying Suzuki means Suzuki will kill you. In summary, I approve of this hairstyle for multiple reasons.

I don't know how well Instagram and Twitter work for businesses in general since their algorithms are so hosed now, but that's the best way I was able to stay informed about Wrestle Circus shows in Austin. We have other indies in the area but their social games are weak so I never have any idea of when their shows actually are until, usually, after the fact.

Flyers/posters are, no joke, a great investment until you're big enough to have buzz. The only way I ever find out about shows around here is from posters when I'm out shopping.

missed that PROGRESS announced their US touring roster a few weeks ago https://progresswrestling.com/blogs/news/usa-coasttocoast-touring-roster-announced

bummed I won't get to see Toni Storm in NYC, and instead will get as a consolation... Travis Banks, who is I guess so boring as champion that they didn't even feel the need to lock him in for the entire tour, and Mark Haskins, who is okay enough but I've already seen like 5 times :(

otoh, they might get some good local-ish talent, such as one David Starr, hell yeah

Out here all three of the current companies we have only put a flyer on Facebook and Twitter. They also never announce the match ups or say who all is on the card. It baffles me.

So Amazon Prime just put out a series "Dojo Pro", out of nowhere, havent watched it yet but it has some cool guys in it.

Edit --- I guess it has some sort of ROH affiliation? Winner gets a TV title shot.
