Joey Ryan is a try-hard dork

Yea it was too long. The triple threat, ACH-Cobb and the two mains were good. But the women's match was horrible. The tag team thing was a clusterfuck.

The commentary alone would probably make me not order again.

I don't feel bad about spending $10 but that was just way too long.

Well, Wrestle Circus's dumb idea to run a show during SXSW and offering free tickets to past customers has hosed up completely and watching them melt down on twitter at people asking what's going on has been hilarious. Now, they've cancelled all the tickets people RSVP'd through Eventbrite because it's been "abused" and they're just going to send out tickets in the next two days, and any previous ones are void. Anyone who registered but doesn't get one sent to them? gently caress you, get a SXSW badge.

I'm not going to be bummed if I end up not getting another ticket, because it will be hell getting to a 7pm show in downtown on Friday night in the middle of SXSW is going to be hell. Either way, I'm just hoping that the Inspire Pro show later this month draws well with the Keith Lee/Sami Callihan main event, and none of the talent at Wrestle Circus get hosed on their pay.

this company is loving retarded

You really can't replicate PWG. It grew organically into this indie monster and has so much goodwill that it's able to pull off poo poo that nobody else could.

What gave PWG so much goodwill?

It's run by fellow wrestlers so they're not being bullshitted or stiffed.

They have a super devoted following now and guys know they'll make good merch money.

They don't try to gently caress the fans and in the event ticketing fucks up they've made good in fair ways.

They let the guys be themselves and do what they want to do.

It's an environment where they can go wrestle and put on a show that showcases why they do what they do with no fear of being treated like poo poo, which goes a hell of a long way in this business.

Seems unlikely unless they announce Progress going on the network before Mania. Maybe shooting material for promotional videos and such?

I wanna say Dave already mentioned it being likely.

Norwegian Rudo posted:

Which part? Them (and ICW) going on the Network seems a done deal at this point. What I meant is that I don't think WWE would use them at Axxess before the deal is publicly announced, which they of course could do, but they tend to want everything focused on Mania this time of year.

They hold a conference call a day or two after Mania to announce the network numbers (so they can give them out when they are at the peak), and I wouldn't be surprised if these deals and probably the women's tournament is announced there.

Axxess and I'm speaking of all the progress dudes who are already publicly under contract

The top two matches for the FIP show on Sunday afternoon before Mania look really good.

I don't know if I've asked this before but why is AAW's poster design on such a higher level than any other indie and even WWE most of the time? Is it one person doing it?

Yes. It pretty much comes down to having a super fan or a friend who's really good at that poo poo you can lean on.

I changed my tune on Bob Holly after reading his book.

STAC Goat posted:

Is there some basic summary of what was in the book that changed the impression of him? I really haven't paid any attention so I have no idea. Or is it just some deeply humanizing read or something?

He's just refreshingly honest, which is too rare in a wrestling book. He seems aware of his faults and it made me sympathize with him because of how much he got hosed around.

I mean, I don't agree with a lot of what he did, but I came away from it feeling like he wasn't a huge piece of poo poo like I did before.

Ethan Page is like indie wrestling's annoying little brother. Every now and then he does something funny or good but for the most part he's just so desperate to be accepted by the group that it comes off as sad and pathetic.

He's also one of those people that swears he doesn't take himself seriously when in reality he's like the worst in terms of doing that.
