He was the glue of good GCW shows. Yeah you'd get some bad matches, but with KTB you'd be sure the scramble or whatever he was in was good instead of a mess and that one really cool undercard match is important when a few other matches on the card are going to be not so great.

Joey almost certainly has a percentage of GCW.

Ok, Joey claims to not have any ownership of GCW which makes some of his career decisions slightly more insane if true.

Haven't watched this yet, but a new indie popped up near(ish) me and they seem to have had a pretty successful first show. They also shoot in 4k and have good photos. I'm not used to this level of quality for a first show from a new promotion!

Hopefully we hear about the next show further in advance than the day after and we can get out to it.

its probably easier to be thankful to a company, even if you feel they misused you, if they paid you 100k a year. and its probably harder to be thankful to a company who misused you and took advantage of you and paid you in singles and quarters like some kid who mowed your lawn or some poo poo

I still like GCW even if they're not as great as they used to be. Other than some of the collective stuff, I haven't actually bothered to follow the promotion at all, but it's always worth going to their shows when they're around since it's some of the most consistently good indie wrestling I can get (at least here in NYC). I got to see ZSJ live for my bday thanks to GCW! If you have a problem with that you can blow me..

It’s an old carnie thing to show they worked light. When a promoter does it, it means there’s no money(light wallet).

It’s more in tune with Ian Rotten.

And hell Enjoy is basically if Effy's Big Gay Brunch was a promotion, except it's shot pretty well (granted it is taped because the owner/editor doesn't want to deal with the risks of doing it live; plus they can't do their nice slow-mo shots)

Considering it's south Georgia and it's Effy, they probably would have "found" something on him to get him in trouble.

I also believe this comes from when he was pulled over for the super bad speeding ticket and that is probably some sort of increase on the charges.

generally, if you're doing 40 mph+ the cops wanna search your car. Moreso if you lead with comedy. IDK the specifics of what Effy was popped for(beyond the article) but 15 years is bullshit.

he also had an edible which iirc the weight of the entire edible is what you get charged with (for example if the pot brownie weighed X grams, youd get charged with X grams of marijuana possession)

This applies to other drugs as well, to absurd degrees. If you get a ceramic pot, fill it with soil, and then grow magic mushrooms and get caught they consider you to have had x pounds of shrooms, where x = the weight of the pot + the weight of the dirt + the weight of the shrooms.

Georgia cops are the loving worst. My dad was road tripping down the east coast in the 80s and got pulled over in Georgia for DWB (driving while brown). The cop saw his California ID and basically said “The fine is all the cash you have on hand or you go to jail over the weekend for a Monday court arraignment”. So the cop took my dad to the judges house on like a Friday evening and he had to fork over all his cash to the cop and the judge.

Coincidentally, there was no paperwork for a conviction!

Wait, Abdullah is still allowed to wrestle? Or is he just a guest? Assuming the later cause he hasn't wrestled in a decade, and the fact that he couldn't move that great when I last saw one of his matches in the late 90s.
