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

ALL WE DO IS PARTY

Out of all the wrestling happening tonight, I went for a local show in ECCW. We've had David Starr have a good match with 3 other dudes, and Brody King be a monster. At some point there will be Brian Pillman Jr vs Kevin Sullivan, and a main event with TJP. I will at least watch the Pillman match.

I was at Flying V Fights. Main event was bad, they let Quack go 26 minutes with a bunch of ants selling for him. Orange Cassidy vs Hallowicked was good, women’s match was good. Major storyline in this fed is that Logan Easton Laroux is the leader of a heel stable called “The Top of the Class” that is doing a Breakfast Club gimmick. That’s a promotion of a theatre nerd for you. Solid show overall. No announcement of the next show date other than “fall.”

I don’t know, I liked the main! But I also like the Ugly Ducklings, and that helps a bunch.

Doing a show in a well built black box theatre makes the sound fantastic, and helps with the main problem of Nova Pro always sounding like Peanuts adults.

If you were wondering how you book a 20+ mulleted kid against a 70 year old man, you have a lot of crowd brawling, and end in a no contest when the 70 year old gigs and gets too beaten-down.



The show was great otherwise. I'm sure TJP is having a match with Artemis Spencer right now, but gently caress TJP. Support your local indies.

The main event would've been fine if Thief Ant didn't gently caress up basically every spot he had in the match.

Sandman is at least a couple years sober now, actually.

This was a very good show, but like a few other big GCW shows in the past year, poo poo got weird and ended things oddly. Gage used the pizza cutter on Lowlife Louie, Louie got cut too deep and ran to the back as the commission rep called it, then Jimmy Lloyd ran out to have a quick match with Gage as something of a make-good.

(From the NYSAC rules: "Intentional Cutting Prohibited: "A promoter of professional wrestling shall not permit 'cutting,' 'blading,' or 'gigging,' whereby one or more wrestlers intentionally cut their own skin or the skin of another during the exhibition.")

Probably not a good ide, especially since Brett has only been licensed about a year, but this commission rep (the one who tried to stop a Tier 1 show over an intergender match) also has a habit of complaining and saying there will be action taken only for nothing to happen. So who knows if anything will actually come of this. I hope Louie is OK and just needed to get stitched up, though.

I could never hear the promos at Nova Pro even from the front row. PTPW seems to have solved that. And Flying V just has a huge advantage in that area.

And yeah, I enjoyed the main event. Ants are fun as are the Ugly Ducklings.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter - July 8, 2002 posted:


Indie wrestler Necro Butcher nearly needed his arm amputated after a light bulb match with Mad Man Pondo. He underwent four hours of surgery, which saved the arm after a light bulb punctured the arm. I wonder if that'll be a wake up call for anyone. I wasn't really wondering, because that would mean I didn't already know that the answer was no

For anyone in the KC area there is a phenomenal indy promotion called Journey Pro Wrestling. Tonight was the culmination of about 4 months of story in a Intergender Street Fight between Shotzi Blackheart and Christian Rose. First Journey Pro in general is loving awesome and it rose from the ashes of the NWL (National Wrasslin League) after they went out of business. They run monthly shows out of a Kanza Hall in Overland park, the atmosphere is amazing and all the matches are great.

You can find their shows on IWTV here https://independentwrestling.tv/promotion/Journey-Pro

I just think they are awesome
