That incident was March 6 2020. He's had 8 matches since, one this year https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=844&page=4 25% of the matches are with Jerry Lawler
See normally, if you wrestle after a heart attack, you got a 25% chance of facing Jerry Lawler.

I love the indie shows with one guy getting paid to do nothing and a ton of local talent one never heard of.

Those are the best ones.

Brew City Wrestling is running their twentieth anniversary show and are doing Wargames. My husband and I got second row tickets. The only two people we recognize on the card are Swoggle and Falcone, a former jobber my husband has seen before.

I bought the Collective package last year and was kind of bummed about it. I don’t really remember anything super great happening at all, and that Ibushi/Janela match was tremendously disappointing.

C6 had some really good stuff like Fatu/Cogar and redacted/otis. It's a shame they book Drake Younger now because it looked fun to post up there in LA last year and that's off the board for 2024.

IWTV is doing a competing weekend this year at h2o where they can actually do deathmatches where I'll probably be all weekend with the other freaks but they haven't announced anything other than "an h2o show will be happening" yet. The faces of death weekend at h2o last year blew anything in LA out of the water though so I've got high hopes

There were good matches and Drexl is kind of cool but there were entire shows where everything was horrible with the worst non NWA booking of the year.

MLW had one hell of a show tonight by the look of it.

I went to Mania week last year and had a great time. ROH and TJPW shows were awesome. World on Lucha was good though it was annoying they delayed an already late night show by an hour to accommodate people coming from night one of WrestleMania.

Though if you were someone who wanted to go to more than three or four shows I could see having a bad time. Probably about six or seven shows total worth going to that week with some of those happening at the same time. Then just dirt worst stuff.

I saw Bishop for the first time at Enjoy like 2 years ago. I walked past him in the hallway and he looks incredible up close. I am shocked it’s taken this long for him to get more attention.

hello indie goons, here is a thing that is happening in a couple weeks for anyone in the DC area:

https://twitter.com/FlyingVTheatre/status/1729962516761972931

this is the second time super art fight (a wrestling-esque drawing competition) and flying v (a local indie in silver spring, md) have teamed up for an event, this time it's a two-night deal with art fights on night one and pro wrestling on night two

https://twitter.com/SuperArtFight/status/1736916353821339823

here is the night one main event where two artists (including my dumb rear end) team up with two real actual pro wrestlers in a drawing competition. insane that this is happening lol

if you've got time to kill on january 26-27 come check it out ok!! thank you god bless

Can you book a show around WM weekend specifically for the horrifying creations that TJPW talent Miu Watanabe draws? She should be in America around that time.

Went to GCW tonight!

- Microman is incredible
- GCW Extreme title is such a pro wrestling belt, I love it
- Opening Tag title match was fantastic. So glad to see ViF with the belts
- Reed/Rush match of the night, IMO
- As mentioned earlier in the thread, Josh Bishop is really good. Hope this is a big year for him
- Can not believe the main event ended with a headlock. Felt weird that the show was over after that, save for the Radrick promo

MLW has the Battle Riots, which are always fun Rumble-style shows with some great folks and surprises, all free on YouTube. I wouldn't regularly watch it outside of those, but it's a huge reason I became such a Tom Lawlor fan; he shines in every single one.
