I mean this completely seriously, it is honestly kind of mind boggling that someone who follows the indies would have never heard of Sean Henderson

Thankful I have heard of Sean Henderson I simply had no idea what his deal was.

Whoa the globe was a cool venue. That's really disappointing. They booked a lot of offbeat events there. I wonder if they had permits yanked due to some of that.

projects like that don't survive a long hiatus and the loss of a stable venue

Super Dragon said his significant other is dealing with cancer so I wouldn't be shocked if he sells the whole thing to Tony to be honest.

Their website is also just completely gone and replaced with a generic placeholder for when there's a domain but no site.

They just had some events there recently, and were advertising future events as of yesterday.

I've gone to 2 GCW shows now, neither of them had anything I'd call a "deathmatch" -- mostly just tables(oh sorry the doors on chairs they use instead of tables?) and maybe a weapon or something. no glass, barbed wire, no real blood.

I've been to three Detroit shows in the last ~year and there have been two death matches at each. Very bloody affairs and lots of tubes and glass. Very correct about those doors though.

Owner of Prestige made this comment on Reddit:

quote:

Owner of Prestige Wrestling here. No one lied or was fed bad info. People at the highest rung told The Globe they were closing. Management at Globe told me our event is cancelled and they’re closing. Today “the highest rung” reached out to management and they came to an agreement to fix some issues. Thus - The Globe is open again.

If true, I would have zero trust in The Globe moving forward.

Yeah - while I'm glad the promotions which rely on the venue still have a home, it'd be smart for all of them to start looking for somewhere new

Fair warning if you're coming to Defy tonight: Through the power of friendship I've managed to assemble an Avengers team of about 8-10 queer misfits that are going to be incredibly loud and obnoxious and we're taking over an entire corner of Washington Hall.

Worse, we're all Sovereign fans. :getin:

BAWWW-UNH!
My third excursion to the 2020's Finnish indie scene tonight.

Before buying the tickets I was kind of getting the "I've already seen them twice, is it really worth it?" vibes, but turned out it was really fun show, and my favorite so far.

Sold out again, a bit under 200 people, apparently the last show at this venue.

Arrived early this time and picked up a front row seat, which was a good choice. Got a couple nice interactions with the talent and generally a good mood show. The personal highlight was being able to scold Jessica Love when she sat next to me after her mischievous hijinks (she has more cred than the most around here, considering that she has wrestled Kana, Emi Sakura, Tajiri and Ultimo Dragon back in the day).

The new debutante, Mimosa, was really impressing. Six feet tall (seemed legit or close) and was more comfortable in the ring than 90% of the green girls I've seen.

Kind of unfortunate that I've seen three shows this fall and every time time their top champion Regina Rosendahl has lost. Granted, the first one was against a foreign star, the second was a makeshift match due to an illness and featured heavy cheating, and this time her tag partner was pinned, but from my personal point of view she's currently a weak champion. Hoping for a good showing in the annual big show in December

I haven't been to one of their shows in awhile, but they used to put on a pretty solid show. They really don't want my money between Riddle and Ellsworth though yeesh.

If I see the hard cam I purposely try not to be on the side with it. I did that at one event, but one of the photographers were so lazy that they never took pictures from anywhere but the opposite side of where I was sitting. 90% of what the promotion shared on IG were the photos from them and I hated seeing myself in every shot.

I'm worried during the Ziggy match where my close friend was 3 beers deep so he does his Irish accent are starts going up the Ra and saying the heel is a protestant. We were right by one of the camera men when this was happening lol

ive been watching UWW on youtube and the shows are fun but some production notes; can we get a mic pointed at the ring and can we zoom the roamer cams out and maybe zoom the hard cam in. Its producing a strange effect where the wrestlers look small on the hard camera shots and huge in the ringside camera.
