oh its John Wayne Murdoch doing it. Its fine. Cumberbatch def gonna be ginger the next few days tho. If Shlak was doing it, I'd be more concerned. I'm not even sure Shlak could nail the rotation tbh.

Awful injury, and hopefully he’ll be alright.

I can't sympathize with anyone who agrees to take a bump THAT stupid, much less assign a monetary value to it, much less on a crowdfunding description with such incredibly vague wording.

"I'm gonna pound this here railroad spike into my eyeball. Oh, uh, something somehow went wrong! How strange! Just part of the biz, nothing can be done about it. Now cover my medical costs please."

I feel the opposite way and I am glad enough sympy is going around to have him at 6x goal :)

I guess your railroad spike thing happened but most deathmatches I see are people trying to put on a crazy gross and death defying show for nowhere near the amount of acceptable money to do so in a country where the state of Healthcare is *gestures towards everything*. If I'm going to tune into it, I'm certainly not above a performer asking for help when they gets hosed up trying to entertain and innovate.

If that's not you, cool but no need to act above it in the Indies Are Back MDK thread.

It's the indies thread, not the deathmatch-only thread, but OK. I get what you're saying, but the usual deathmatch fare doesn't require that kind of extensive medical care. When it's a "seriously WTF else did you think would happen" spot, it's pure Leopards Ate My Face.

Yeah idk I’d absolutely chip in a few bucks for a dude that jammed a railroad spike in his eye for my entertainment.

If you’re gonna poo poo on something please go do it in the WWE thread.

And furthermore, I’d argue that deathmatch stuff is a folk art.

Can you maybe lay off the hyperbole for a second and not do mental backflips to make it look like I hate all hardcore wrestling? I'm talking about one single spot and I'm not the only one who called it a stupid spot. It's just way dumber if you attempt it without medical coverage.

Corgis love bread. And Puro


Has anyone with an IWTV account checked out the main event of the recent C4 show? You've got Daniel Garcia defending his title against Speedball Mike Bailey & I've seen some good things, but right now I am not subbed to their service.

Similarly, the IWTV 100 show from 8/8 with Wheeler Yuta defending the Independent Wrestling Championship sounds great going by the reviews.

I watched the C4 show. I can confirm that Speedball/Garcia was absolutely spectacular, and worth going out of your way to watch in whatever method you can. It is absolutely scary how good Garcia is at 23, and Speedball brought his A-game and got the best out of him.

It’s good and you should find a way to watch it.

The whole card was pretty good, in particular I’d recommend the battle royal and the Kobe Durst / Matthieu St Jacques no dq match.

And not to give away the good stuff from the main event but

It was a glorious mess where it was hard to see what was happening at times. Chain link fence + spooky dust + online compression.

e: This was one of their better productions. Replays, a camera arm, etc. But it was still a mess. I'm glad I watched it, but part of that was watching the results live.

not sure why Schaff decided to steal Sean Spears’ gimmick of “sit in a chair and bitch about how the audience doesn’t respect you” but, uh, ok.

so glad indies are back in the Pacific Northwest; next week we’ll have DOA in Portland featuring Daniel Makabe (gently caress YES) and El Phantasmo vs Nick Wayne, a wildly talented young guy. Like… 17? I think? Either way, guaranteed flippy poo poo and it will own.

I did the math, Wayne is 16 max given this article. Even in like five minutes of ring time last night I was super impressed given his age.

PWG issue this statement tho

https://twitter.com/OfficialPWG/status/1442607244252565508

imo they need to change venues because if your security missed a fight in the bathroom your venue isn't fuckin safe. There should have been someone posted there to keep that from happening.

It's a shame nobody will learn from this.

And I'm not talking about bigotry. I'm talking about people on Twitter hunting Frankenstein's Monster through a game of telephone. It's situations like this that make it hard to believe what anyone says, which is tragic because it's going to silence those that have legitimate statements.

There are bathroom attendants. But this didn't occur in the bathroom. It allegedly took place on a staircase. So if someone was attacked, it would have been noticed. There's security everywhere in that building. Nobody reported anything.

There were also no homophobic chants (someone in the crowd saying something does not make a chant) and women weren't getting sexually assaulted. It was actually the other way around. Some lady got thrown out for trying to feel up the wrestlers during their entrances. And you want to know why she got thrown out? Because she got reported to security (and not Twitter) and they did their job.

My understanding is someone got punched in the back of the head once walking to the bathroom, which is obviously unacceptable, but is hardly a fight in the crowd that everyone would've noticed.
