Appreciate the tips, it’s definitely not my first Defy show though. escape goat, you may remember me wearing the Defy hat at BOLA this year in the row behind you.

Oh poo poo, hey dude!

Jimbo’s show is going to be UNHINGED. love that for you :kimchi:

I don’t know anything about it other than “Jimbo will be performing” but that’s enough of a sign it’ll be wild. have a rad time, check out as much as you can! prob do the full Jimbo gig and scoot to Washington Hall as fast as possible but it’s always my opinion that it’s WAY more important to attend a show that won’t be recorded. you can catch DEFY on wremix anytime.

I know some of you are in the general Philly area. LVAC is doing a wrestling show before an Iron Pigs baseball game on August 3rd. Tickets to the game (which are as low as 9 bucks) let you see the wrestling show too, and the first match they announced is World Famous Cheeseburger Vs Mike Bailey. Probably worth it just for that match.

That show at 880 Saturday was so miserable stepping inside I don't know how the masked wrestlers like Edith wrestled their match

Lio Rush is apparently injured, the match with Speedball in Detroit has been rebooked into a title shot with Blake Christian

Can't say I'm not bummed out but the match will be good.

Hope we can get the rest of the card soon (so it will change night of)

Oh poo poo, Pivotshare was the only place left to get a lot of the fed I worked for's stuff since a lot of the masters were taken by a bad video guy and the fed shut down during the pandemic. Luckily the episode I did commentary for was on Fite as well but I may have to pony up $5 just to grab a few shows so they don't get lost forever.

Yeah, figuring out how to download a video from a PivotShare site is trivial if you have a sub, so if there's anything you're worried about not being easily available after the subscriptions get canceled next week, now is the time to grab it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wremix picked up PROGRESS. They have a working relationship with Defy who's already on there, and all the promotions Wremix has now had Pivotshare content at one point or another.

Speaking of Wremix, Enjoy's "Something To Talk About" dropped really good match between Ray Lyn and Miyu Yamashita and then the main of Su Young vs Edith which was fun until a really bad botched ending that made me think Su tore her knee but from what everyone in the back told me Su was fine afterwards.

Also wanted to post some pics from the Tacomania show I went to at the South Side Works on Sunday that will be up in probably a month

I got so excited for a second that Enjoy was making a trip east.

Also, this explains when I was out in Pittsburgh at an Ice Cream Shop, a guy in line was like "yea I'm heading out to Allentown for some non-alcoholic vegan beer" and I have been so god drat confused ever since. I thought he was taking a 4 hour trip.

GCW show in Detroit was great but crowd was tempered by the lack of any AC in the building, devolving at times into chants of "it's hot as gently caress." Probably 85 or so with very little circulation.

Komander v Janela and Speedball v Christian were my favorites but the whole show was a lot of fun, I am so hoarse

Later this month, GCW are holding a few shows in Australia, cross-promoted with Renegades of Wrestling.

On Friday, August 25, they'll be in Sydney. Saturday, August 26, in Melbourne. Sunday, August 27 in Brisbane.

The Iron Pigs LVAC show was pretty fun. The Cheeseburger/Speedball match though was insane. I don't understand how Bailey is in Impact instead of AEW or even WWE. His kicks are just as impressive in person as on video. And just the general speed of his movements, there's just never a pause. I've wanted to see Bailey since the first time he showed up for PWG and I was thinking "Whose the geek in the gi?", he definitely didn't disappoint.

Also, is Cheeseburger the best wrestler to come out of the ROH Dojo? I never realized he trained there, and a lot of the trainees have been mediocre to average at best of what I can remember of them.

Probably Rhett Titus, guy has had a 17 year career at this point.

ROH really didn't do well by their trainees, but especially in those early years. The trainees generally only wrestled each other in short dark matches, and they were expected to be at ROH events to drive the ring truck and set up the ring so that meant that they could not take other indy bookings outside that.

Even CZW did far better by their trainees when they'd run Dojo Wars shows. But ROH basically just wanted to get the marks to pay to be trained by CM Punk or Danielson or Aries and then stopped giving a gently caress.

So Rhett Titus still being on ROH shows to this day is a minor miracle really.

He's been wrestling for Pro Wrestling Explosion occasionally for the last few years. They are the tiniest of the Philly indies and don't even have a ring. They usually do bar shows mixed with local musicians.

It also depends on if you're separating the Baltimore ROH Dojo from the old school in Bristol that eventually got taken over by Burger as Worldwide Dojo. But either way, Burger and Titus are almost surely the answers, regardless.

I always felt that the ROH school, particularly in the early years, was a huge racket since, like you said, there were so few advancement opportunities in ROH for the students. At least when Punk was the head trainer he made a point of getting the students booked elsewhere, which I don't remember happening nearly as much under Danielson/Aries/Delirious.

The main event of High Tension yesterday between CC Boost and Max Zero is definitely worth watching. It was in an American Legion hall in Brooklawn NJ, and at one point they brawled out into the parking lot. One of the guys from the Hall was like "if you guys go out there, the cops are going to get called!" and I want to say we were outside for about a minute or two before you could hear the sirens going. Two cop cars from Brooklawn AND a state trooper pulled up into the parking lot as the fight was ending. During the match CC Boost grabbed the entrance archway to beat Zero with, which proceeded to rip down half the tarps they were using for the locker room.

A Real Horse
Oct 26, 2013


Last time I posted in this thread I had just gone to my local indie (Idaho Wrestle Club) with a friend and had an absolute blast. We were going to go to the next show a couple weeks later, but unfortunately real life interference made that impossible.

Well, tonight we were able not only to go to their 8th year anniversary show, but he has his daughters this weekend (8 and 10), and they came along. If you ever need to restore your enjoyment of pro wrestling, watch it live with kids. They were into it in a major way: booing the heels, cheering the faces, yelling advice at the wrestlers (I thought they might die of happiness when they yelled “give him a wedgie” and it actually happened). Just such pure enjoyment, it was great. They asked us if we could go to the next show in three weeks, so here’s hoping.

Highlights of the show:
-A heel doing a “Gods Gift to women” gimmick said that the boos were out of jealousy, because he looks like that “And you all look like… that” while pointing directly to me (side note: my friends kids did not like that, because it was “so mean” and they spent part of the drive home reassuring me that I look fine) (sider note: Nah, my mirror works, he was right to pick on me)

-The first ever Bull Rope match for the promotion, which was pretty good and won by a guy whose entire gimmick is “from California” which in Idaho generates nuclear heat

-The secondary champion does a bunch of moves named after Pokémon and comes out with pokeballs and stuff and drat kids still love that.

-Gods Gift wrestled a second match and when he came over to harass me again I told him “My mom thinks I’m handsome” and he immediately hit me with “Doesn’t count, she thinks I’m more handsome” and I almost died laughing

It’s funny. I’m going to watch All In in a few hours, and I will enjoy it. The quality of wrestling will be outstanding I’m sure. But I think I’m general I’ll have had more fun sitting outside this past evening watching a bunch of guys who are probably never going to be on TV wrestle and jaw at the crowd for two hours.

Support your local indie.

Tickets for the show are going to be up live at 5 PM EST but I found out who they got for the card early on the Enjoy discord (and also access to tickets) and I'm beyond excited in one person because it's someone who should have been on Enjoy at least a year ago.

Wish Enjoy could get THRUNT but GCW runs so many goddamn shows
