GCW's card for tonight in LA is stacked. Gray/Bey could be a show stealer. Also the debut of Starboy Charlie from here in NorCal! He's only 16 and has a ton of talent.

Former CZW World Champion and the shoot brother of Nick Gage, Justice Pain has passed away.

There was a window of time where he was one of the top guys on the East Coast, so it’s surreal to hear he has passed.

I hope Gage has friends around him tonight.

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

Seem like Mucha Lucha Atlanta is partnering with ROH for their upcoming March 15 show. It's always a lil hard to facebook translate the posts with 100% accuracy, but it seem like Rush, Dragon Lee and Bandido are CONFIRMADO, and potentially Flamita and others to be announced soon.

MLA has been pretty good about getting the people they've announced (Minus the Lucha Bros for one event), so y'know, I'm pretty hyped for this.

Dickinson vs Starr was great but I feel like Mance vs Deppen edged it out just a little bit more. Just because I enjoy watching two psychos just be psychos.

That was the first or second GCW show I've watched (except for the past two Janela Spring Breaks) and it's a lot of fun. I don't really know who most of these guys are, but I like them.

It feels like what everyone says PWG used to be, except they don't have this archaic no-streaming-our-shows policy so it's way more accessible.

GCW certainly caters to the local L.A. crowds that couldn't follow PWG to the Globe. The Ukraine Culture Center is my favorite venue for indie show out here.
Mance vs. Deppen is a close second for me, Rob.

That policy is because they wouldn’t be able to use ROH or AEW talent if they did that.

I know that applies to ROH talent but are you sure about AEW talent? They seem to be working for streaming promotions just fine.

I meant Impact, don’t know why I wrote AEW, but even then they seem to not care so much anymore so I guess just ROH.

Made even better by how much Brookes is loved by Shelley.

I’m excited that Brookes is gonna have an extended stay in Japan, but I’m bummed this means a possible Shelley/Brookes match is even further away from happening.

Beyond's "Please Come Back" was a great show this afternoon. Kris Stat put TJ Crawford on the map like John Silver did for her the last PCB. The Rep and MSP also had great showings that hopefully lead to future Beyond bookings.

Gage immediately being mobbed by the fans during his entrance was the best all things considered. Any given night, that man has a room of hundreds who actually love/respect him.

Nick Gage is one of the most charismatic wrestlers you'll ever see live. His music hits and you can't resist screaming at him to kill his opponent and it makes you want to stab a cop caller.

Can 1000% confirm this feeling every time I have seen Nick Gage enter, and in my experience the smaller the venue is the better the energy is.

Blitzkrieg announced they booked Gage for their show at the end of February. Haven't seen him live in like 4 years. The hype is real!

edit - they also booked Deppen too. I don't know how many promotions are going against AEW Revolution, but snag up those big name indy guys I suppose.

It helps that Gage matches consistently deliver what's promised (violent chaotic spectacle) so he's earned a lot of goodwill with fans. He's definitely got the Necro Butcher aura of "this motherfucker is here to kill people."

At the GCW show on Friday right before he face washed the door right into Matthew Justices face he pointed at me and said this poo poo is for you man I’m doing this for you. It ruled. Gage rules.

That one surprised me. Didn't PWX have closer ties to Highspots than most promotions? I could ask since I know a lot of the people involved, but I kind of figured that was why Kevin Kelly replaced Marty DeRosa (who decided to sit Mania weekend out) alongside Excalibur on commentary at Supershow last year.
