vs. Ava Everett 
) wasn't technically very good with some weak offense from both, but the crowd was into it and Ava managed to heel it up to keep the audience in the match.
was slightly better than the other two undercard matches, although Allie's kind-of-constantly-sexual-assaultish offensive is pretty sketchy.

Kennel posted:As I haven't followed the local scene at all, I was somewhat worried about two things: wrestling being embarrassingly bad and audience being embarrassingly silent (as Finnish crowds tend to be). Wrestling ended up being adequate and the crowd was pretty good. About 250 people (by my estimation), no awkward silent moments, and everyone was generally cheering actively for the babyfaces and joining the basic chants, fun times, although could be better. Gender ratio was close to 50:50 which was pretty cool. Also nice to see that the promotion is heavily emphasizing anti-bigotry. Not exactly given in such a niche scene. The crowd used to be rowdier a few years ago and there used to be a lot of heckling from front-row regulars, which has died down. Most of that being stupid stuff that would really take away from the match. There are still chants, but the pre-COVID era had a more active chant culture. That partly disappeared since the chant section moved behind the curtain. Also, the crowd is (at most) 15% wrestling fans (who follow other promotions), with the rest being casuals or FCF fans who only follow the local scene. The anti-bigotry message is maybe the biggest change in the scene. Just 10 years ago there were shirts that proudly claimed that the promotion was politically incorrect. Change in leadership drastically moved the promotion to a new era. syzpid posted:Out of everyone you could possibly fly into Finland for a match, why Allie lol? She moves tickets, that's why.

davidbix posted:Just spitballing, but the added expenses of starting to run on the NY side of the river probably didn't help. That makes sense, it's too bad. The show I saw was in Ridgefield park which isn't too bad of a drive from the Philly burbs or NYC.

But it's gonna be in a cool movie theater and my friend and her soon-to-be wife are cute and we've been friends for years and I will get free food and drink I need to make it to a Revolver show again some day, though, just to reconnect with the old crew while seeing some great matches.

Yeah but it's also like...six or seven hours of wrestling between both shows on a weekend I'll have done a long drive the day before, I have to make some decisions depending on how I feel, and how my partner is doing too.

I pretty much like everything about her except for the wrestling. It just seemed weird to me until the following MassRafTer posted:She was in Europe for GCW so it's not like they had to fly her very far. That makes a lot more sense. I don't follow GCW closely and didn't realize they were in Europe.

They still haven't announced if Kosei Fujita is going to make the trip west but I am very excited about this match, The Parea in particular I don't see enough of since whenever they come to Perth they work NHPW instead of the far superior EPW

I have one free extra ticket to DEFY Primolucha in Yakima on Friday if anyone wants it. You'd just have to meet up with me, because I'm picking up actual physical tickets. I won 2 tickets from a radio station contest but I don't have a +1.

It was supposed to be Lee/Shawn Spiers vs Matt Cardona and Steph Delander but Steph got injured at the last show and had to miss the rest of the tour, so it became a three way match instead. Was happy to see Kross again, she was cool at the DDT show in Japan I went to but didn't get much time to shine

born on a buy you posted:Speedball at defy ahem Judas is coming into his own and becoming rad as hell, be nice  maybe Icarus can teach Speedball how to clean his tootsies and in return Speedball can teach Icky how to kick really, REALLY loving hard. love both of those workers, excited to see it. I want Icarus and Titus Alexander to have a rematch at DEFY; they worked so well together. Nicole Matthews v Viva Van is on that card too; expecting that match to be stiff as hell. haven’t been super impressed with Nicole’s work since she’s come back but I bet working with someone who will really lay in the hits will bring out the best in her. looking forward to that for sure. the escape goat fucked around with this message at 09:54 on Oct 11, 2023 |
