I've chosen my next victim. Cry tears of joy it's not you!

I'm assuming this is the best and only place to post this. BOLA 2019 is on Highspots now even though it says the release is on october 18. It really does feel like PWG is a crystal ball showing the future of wrestling. Jeff Cobb vs Daisuke Sekimoto is basically Big E's dream match. Big Meaty Men Slapping Meat.

I bought the replay of For The Culture based on the recommendation in this thread and enjoyed it very much.

Any other big recommends from the weekend? Is it worth plunking down the money for the whole package or just piecemealing shows?

I was really hesitant to spring for the whole package but are glad I did; I can't really think of a bad show, and the good moments were spread all throughout.

Bloodsport for me was really sketchy. It kept switching between hd and not. Did anyone else have similar issues? Flickered a lot during Mox and couldn't hear his post match promo

I only watched:
Effy's Big Gay Brunch
Joey Janella Spring Break 4
Bloodsport
Paradigm Trapsoul

I would recommend JJSB4, Bloodsport and Trapsoul. I thought all 3 were very good.

Video was fine, but I couldn’t understand anything on the house mic for either show I watched (Bloodsport and For the Culture).

For the Culture also had Suge D vs Trish Adora.



Trish Adora is absolutely amazing. Her finisher is called Lariat Tubman for fucks sake.

Fonzie has been managing Justice. I wonder if he'll show up for this match.

Yeah I take it Brett Lauderdale and the other promoters didn't go through the trouble of putting together a bubble. Did they do any COVID testing for wrestlers or just temperature checks?

i believe every wrestler might have been on their own for doing a covid test, because i know danhausen had one.

I know some wreslters got themselves tested before traveling, but don’t know if that was a them thing or a condition of the booking thing.

It's too bad David Marquez is a racist piece of poo poo or else I'd be more supportive of UWN since they're getting eyes on the California indie scene.

Edit- Here's Marquez making an awful defense of Jim Cornette

Y'know, GCW is kinda bullshit. How you gonna do a pro gay and an all black show then announce a known bigot in Sabu. It's all Brett trying to get goodwill rather than actually giving a gently caress about any of the causes. Sabu was full on kicked off Twitter for how many bigoted comments he did. Theirs story of him telling another wrestler "we're all just sand nigg*rs". gently caress Brett, gently caress fake activists.
