He ran an indie in the late 2000s and 2010s, there was a lot of talent available. He was also very, very cheap. He was paying Hero peanuts even though Hero was the company's biggest star and trainer. The pay was so bad that it dominated the discourse about him leaving CHIKARA even though the rumored other reason (him sleeping with Shane Storm's girlfriend) was a pretty valid reason not to want to use him.

I always wondered about that. I remember a story at the time was Quack was mad Hero had an international tour but Claudio was on the same tour because Kings of Wrestling and somehow Quackenbush knew about Claudio but not Hero question mark.

Correction, Hero says he made inappropriate texts to Shane Storm's girlfriend. (Meaning it seems like he was hitting on her not that he was sending her dick pics or something like that)

But basically it came out Hero was making $75 a night in CHIKARA, he asked for a raise, Quack gave him an extra $5 and when Hero asked for a real raise Quack said he would pay him $100 if he did a bunch of work hyping up CHIKARA on message boards.

I have a non-wrestling friend who is thinking about going to the Hoodslam show in a few weeks. Have any of you watched Hoodslam before and if so how is it?

Hoodslam is a wrestling show designed to entertain drunk people who don't give a poo poo about wrestling. It'll probably be fun.

Defy: The Realest streams tonight at 6pst/9est. If you sign up for a free 7-day trial at their streaming site, I'm pretty sure you can watch it free (and all their previous shows) and then cancel later if you want. Highly recommend this show.

I'm at a concert tonight, and there are signs advertising a monthly wrestling show (!) and next month their show has Mil Muertes (!!)

... On the same day as the other show I have tickets for

Still, can't complain about finding another local wrestling fed. Maybe I was too down on Michigan.

Just FYI, show premieres tonight on IWTV at 8 PM EST. Whole thing was really good top to bottom but if you have a Giant Tiger sized hole in your heart for the past few years, this will stuff it full and overflow.

only if you watch the match now that the replay’s up.

But seriously, will do because ol’ GT was nervous no one would remember him and was shocked to get a reaction when he came out. A bunch of people didn’t get it at first but once he started playing the hits (with some new moves added!), everyone ate it up. Hope it’s not the last time, we need the League back together.

I was ready to drive 2 hours just to see GT but I just couldn't this weekend and was bummed since I saw the teases.

Feel like this would be the place to ask folks, trying to coordinate throwing streamers for the next Enjoy show. Anyone have ideas for brands or am I overthinking it?

I'm probably going to make a big effort post in the MOTY thread about this match to get people to watch it (and the other match in this episode is a fun tag of Wasteland War Party vs Jordan Blade & Trish Adora), the title match though I've never been at a show where I got swept up in the match and lose any sense of who was going to win by the time it gets to 3rd gear.

I was at Labor Of Love in Philly yesterday, really good show from the regulars of the area. The big standout to me was Junior Benito. He had a 4 way match with Marcus Mathers, Ryan Mooney and Macrae Martin which was absolutely insane. He totally stole the show, was great in the ring and had a ton of charisma. He's definitely on his way to becoming a big name.
