Necro is only 46. good gravy. Deathmatches and taking those hard bumps surely took its toll on his body.

Paco won the AAW Heritage belt from Jake Something. Crown went insane.

And then ACH showed up the next match. Expected, but still awesome.

Yes, although in Necro's case it's generally believed that it's as close to brain worms as it can possibly be without involving literal worms. He would talk with fans about his interest in leftist politics all the time.

As for the Euro WWE affiliates on the Network: They have had the deals in place for years. Literally. But Vince always vetos it. I don't doubt that they bit the bullet for the Evolve show in large part because Fight for the Fallen was that night. But there probably is also legitimacy to it being in that weekend's PPV city/the WWE crew being able to help out being a deciding factor, as well. It looked more like a professional, WWE product that WWN doing it on their own and sending it to WWE would be, I'm sure of that.

Going back a few pages but this just made me wonder if the issue isn't so much Vince being skittish about showing a 'lesser' product on his outlet so much as being concerned about the cost of making those shows match up to the level expected. It's one thing to air tapes of Smoky Mountain or ECW looking like poo poo from 1994, but an indie in 2019 looking the same probably makes them feel like it'd reflect badly, so they'd want to pour some money into production values, which goes against the whole point of those deals being a cheap way to neuter any chance of competition.

Considering the amount of partying DX used to do, I think it's fair to say that Billy Gunn has taken a bump.

Any PNW goons know why Defy stopped coming down to Portland? I had been looking forward to their August show down here but then it never happened and they pulled the rest of their announced Portland dates too.

I know they had issues with their venue at the New Japan x DEFY shows where the management wouldn't allow bags in, and acted like a jackass to people with medical conditions who asked for legally required accommodations. No idea if it's related.

You could ask Matt Farmer or Jim Perry on Twitter. There's also their facebook page. They tend to be pretty responsive.

My best guess is that they can't find an appropriately sized venue. The Portland shows I went to held maybe a third the audience of Washington Hall. The New Japan x DEFY shows were at a place significantly larger but which they could not possibly fill on their own. They might have gotten into a situation where they sell out in a small venue but not with ticket prices high enough to profit.

I dont know anything about Defy but there is a promotion running in Eugene. Their next show is 1/12. I've gone to the last 2 and it was great. Front row is only 25 bucks and I got to yell things in Hammerstone's face.

It should still be an interesting match, though. I'm not the biggest Nick Gage fan but I definitely understand the appeal and he is pretty captivating at times.

Great card.

What's the general consensus on Danhausen? I've seen several of his matches and a bunch of his social media stuff and I'm entertained. Him and Effy as Gaytanic Panic was pretty fantastic.

He's very polarizing but I came around on him when I realized he's not really doing a joker gimmick. It's a lot weirder and pulls from a ton of stuff.
