DEFY has their first show on FITE in about an hour. Should be good although not insanely good. Lawlor vs. Suzuki will be good, Nick Wayne & Ultimo Dragon vs. Gringo Loco & La Estrella should be fine, and I’m looking forward to seeing Second Gear Crew in person.

lmao at “doors at 7:30, show at 8”

Ok, some indie shows are getting too drat long.

Show started at 8:00 with a 7:45 dark match.
Get through 5 matches (including an ambulance death match) by 10:30.
Have a 30 minute intermission with a band while you clean up all the glass and other debris from the death match.
There are another 4-5 scheduled matches including a coffin match, a handicap match, and championship match.

I left and got home before the band would have finished, but that show is going at least 4.5 hours before the post show since it is their last show.

Drago Kid vs Aaron Sykes and Decimus/Juventud Aerea vs Komander/Epydemius Jr were both extremely good though and I can catch the rest on youtube eventually.

the ring at GCWHitEmUp tn is so bouncy rn its great watching this 8 man tag desperately trying not to accidentally break thru it lol it feels like watching the logo go into the corner of an old TV "Oh this bump someones def going thru...damnit...now THIS one someones def gonna actually go thru! damnit"

also how are indie companies affording an ambulance match, do they have more $$$ than i think or is it like an old decomissioned car painted like an ambulance

If PPV slots are gonna keep them to three hour shows I sort of think it’s a win; that was tighter than average.

Any indie show that doesn't have the gimmick of 'marathon wrestling show' should last three hours, max. Hell, WrestleMania should only be four hours.

Absolutely incredible weekend, holy poo poo. NEW in Vancouver on Thursday, drove down to Defy in Seattle on Saturday, and I just got out of the Prestige show in Portland. Lots of Vancouver wrestlers at Defy, and some repeat guests so I must have been following a tour circuit (Davey Richards at all 3 shows lol). Suzuki's chops have to be seen live to be believed. They ECHO.

I got to meet all of the Dragongate guys at each show too: Ultimo, Estrella, YAMATO, SB KENTo. All were super nice! Their matches at Prestige were easily the best ones on the card.

I'd love it if all the Pacific Northwest promotions would coordinate dates like this more often. I'd do this trip again in a heartbeat even without all the international talent. Totally worth it.

Talking about Indy shows going on forever, went to a show that was an hour and a half away for a women's show. 5 matches, show starts at 7, figured it would be over at worst at 9.

Get there and find out that it's one owner of 2 promotions. For some reason on social media they act like the woman's promotion is a completely separate entity. Meanwhile the social media for the mens promotion let's you know that both cards will be happening. The show ran till almost midnight.

They've run like 3 more shows since then and they still dont let you know it's 2 cards if you only look at the women's promotion social media.

I for one love a long-rear end show. Between wrestling open and paradigm last week i was at h2o for like eight hours, including a 60 minute iron man deathmatch, and i couldn't get enough! The longer the show, the more bang for your buck imo. Then back for GCW on Tuesday, shp Thursday, h2o last night and tonight, absolutely spoiled for wrestling. It's the four hour corporate ppvs that are the real slog

Oh thanks!

The only caveat with this, as with AEW+, is that traversing the archives is an absolute chore. Trying to find anything specific is a nightmare. I can't think of a streaming service of any kind that has a worse interface than FITE.

Weird, I'd like to go to that, but there's nothing on the Tixr page.

What's the Pacific Northwest Heavyweight title that Schaff had at the Defy show? Cagematch doesn't have an entry for it. The closest I can find is the one from DOA out of Portland, but it says Exile is the champion and hasn't defended it since 2014.

It’s the NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight title. I’m pretty sure it’s not the original belt; the design is different in places but the shape is the same and they’ve both got the same plaque in the shape of the region. It’s explicitly unsanctioned. Schaff didn’t beat anyone for it, he’s just pissed off he didn’t get a title shot.

Try https://www.tixr.com/groups/defywrestling/events/defy-fight-wave-53916 for tickets. I can’t double check cause it’s lousy on mobile.

If I recall correctly, the fella who has a classic Portland wrestling history collection had a replica made from photo references and such and at one show Schaff just ran over to his table and yoinked it off and has been carrying it around since.

Dude has a rad collection of stuff and sells some fun merch.
