I used to love going to AIW shows but a few years back a guy in the crowd started screaming racist poo poo towards a wrestler that applied to me and I haven't wanted to go back since then.

That loving sucks and I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I'd probably be too affected to want to go back there, too, if I had dealt with the same thing.

Hopefully there is other wrestling somewhat near you that you can go to without the fear of hearing racist bullshit. And if not, watching wrestling from the couch is also pretty great.

Wow, Bix. First K.Rool, then Steve and now SEPHIROTH? Your dream game is real!
Re: the knife board, the thing that really stuck with me (pun not intended) about what happened to Takeda is how the GCW knife boards have been MUCH safer in the past. At the Curtain Call show 4 months ago, the knifes were recessed so much as to be more or less inert, to the point that Orin Veidt was clearly frustrated by the fact that he wasn't bleeding. (As in he was clearly trying to writhe into the knives and get color on his back.) Something like that where it's basically a magic trick? I have no problem with it. But these non-gimmicked knife/razor/scissor boards are just bad news.

Did you reach out to Thorne about it? He runs a pretty tight ship and I'm sure he'd rather someone express their concerns. (Especially if it's just about one idiot who could easily be banned.)

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
The death match stuff has started getting to gross one-ups on each other again. I've seen the blade spots done relatively safe before but I think Takeda has subscribed to the Ibushi and Takahashi school of not giving a single gently caress what happens to himself as long as it's exciting to him.

Even outside of death matches, Takeda is a good enough wrestler he doesn't need to keep escalating and I hope he transitions into a Nick Gauge or Jun Kasai style of brawling with occasional death match spots before he literally kills himself

Edward Ellsworth Annis, professionally known as Teddy Hart, 40 years old, was arrested yesterday in Richmond, Virginia and is currently incarcerated at the Richmond City Jail. He is listed as being booked at midnight this morning, so he would have been arrested last night.

According to court records, Annis has charged with possession of a schedule III narcotic and possession with intent to sell or distribute. According to Virginia law, Possession of a Schedule III controlled substance is a Class 1 misdemeanor. It is punished with up to 12 months in jail and a fine up to $2500. Possession of a Schedule III controlled substance by a prisoner (Va. Code §53.1-203(6)) is a Class 5 felony, punished with up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $2,500. According to SwangoLaw.com, narcotics that fall under Schedule III in Virginia include anabolic steroids, ketamine, codeine, and hydrocodone.

Annis has a court date set for 4/23 at 9 AM.

Annis was released from his MLW contract in December 2019 after several requests to be cut loose from his contract.

Since Matthew Justice will be defending a mysterious belt at WrestleVania, I present to you the Blackcraft Wrestling Linear Title History

Johnny Blackcraft 8/24/18 Blackcraft Burning Bridges
Chavo Guerrero Jr 9/29/18 OKLAMANIA III (WCR title match)
Gabriel Wolf 4/27/19 BCW 28: Lucha Downunderground II Tag 2
Chavo Guerrero Jr 4/28/19 BCW 29: Lucha Downunderground II Tag 3
MVP 9/13/19 Impact Wrestling/WCR Operation Overdrive (By DQ)
Rey Mysterio Jr Raw 1/27/20

If Rey can remain undefeated in singles matches until his contract runs out there is a chance the prestigious Blackcraft Linear Title can make it back to the indies.
