This seems awesome. If I can get AAW on IWTV, that'd be the poo poo. I hear a lot about that promotion but have never actually shelled out the money for a one-off show on FITE.

Wonder if they'll be using any new gear/stuff for the stream tonight. IWTV is the best subscription service around IMO with how much new and archived stuff it has, so anything that adds more to that or improves it in any way is just icing on the cake.

Corgis love bread. And Puro


King of sad to see the end of Smart Mark Video in its current form even if the merger with IWTV is undeniably good for fans (on paper at least). Such a massive part of the indie boom of the 2000s, they were filming IWA Mid South, CZW, Chikara, ISW, IWS, IWC, all that good poo poo. I know Mike Burns of Smart Mark was involved in booking CZW at one point which is when they brought in guys like Sexxxy Eddy, Excalibur, Super Dragon, Chris Hero, Kevin Steen, El Generico, Claudio Castagnoli.

I wonder who has the rights to the Jersey All Pro tape library. I'd love to see more stuff from the pre-ROH indie scene uploaded somewhere. JAPW, ECWA, XPW, TWA (the Shawn Michaels/Rudy Boy Gonzalez promotion built around their school), OMEGA. I know SMV/IWTV have some of the FWA stuff up which was where Quackenbush, Reckless Youth, Don Montoya & that crewed wrestled up, including a match with features Quack vs El Hijo del Santo but I can't remember if it was singles or a tag.

God, indie wrestling from 18 years ago makes me turn into a wistful old man and a lot of this is stuff that I just read about and never got to see at the time or since. Remember reading DVDVR Road Trip reports on Jersey All Pro shows which would routinely go on 5 hours and finish after midnight and it was fascinating in a car crash kind of way.

He seems to really want to prove something

I don't exactly know what it is, or at least what it isn't that couldn't be served by bleeding a lot instead of getting hit in the head, but he sure is proving it

There's a really promising 17 year old wrestler here in NorCal that's getting a shot in GCW in three weeks. He just put on a banger with Jake Atlas last month. Keep an eye out for Charlie, he's got an insane amount of potential.

This is going back a couple of years, but does anyone remember a short format wrestling show called Dojo Pro? It's on Amazon Prime if you're interested.

Basically it was a seeded ladder-style elimination tournament for a shot at the ROH Television Title, and managed to include a massive range of indie talent just as they were breaking out, as well as some established veterans. Competitors were:

Kerry Awful
Kevin Ku
Gunner Miller
Wheeler Yuta
Corey Hollis
Joey Janela
Brandon Cutler
James Storm
Ricky Starks
Aaron Solow
Cheeseburger
MJF
Shane Strickland
Jeff Cobb

It's a weird but well used format that I think influenced the Beyond Discovery Gauntlet, and had some really fun matches despite a lacklustre crowd. Take a look if you get a chance.

I saw gifs/clips from this match in question I believe and it looked insane. Charlie was pulling off some gnarly poo poo. Also Dickinson vs. Starr on that show should rule too.

I watched this and it was pretty fun, but I stopped when I found out the creators had some problematic history. Can't remember what it was now because it was a couple years ago, but something about them soured me on the show.
