IWA Mid-south doesn't have a single star anymore. CM Punk was the biggest ever IWAMS star and he got his rear end handed to him tonight

Depending on your definition, Chris Hero still does shows for them sometimes. I mean, he's a star on the indies....

Just based on the preview, Chuckie has a much better report with Trent, but hoping Dan has some great parts.

Watching it now, the upside of Dan is that he's smarter and funnier, Trent's kind of a dope

There's an interesting part where a formerly prominent indy guy gets buried for being a dick to Chuck

Hahaha I love low ki and have always defended him but he is def a guy who can take himself a bit too seriously.

As Chuck mentioned, they were fine with each other before Ki's run in WWE, then when he came back, he was standoffish and he buried both Chucky AND Johnny Gargano

Trevor vs Cody was easily match of the night, but that wasn't a very high bar. Didn't break into my top ten Trevor Lee matches of the year.

His AAW match with Chris Hero is very good. I also enjoyed Chris Hero's post match promo where he threatened a fan who wouldn't shut his stupid loving piehole that if he didn't pipe down, "he'd go 1979 on his rear end".

EVOLVE uses Jon Gresham, right? I kinda wanna see Togo vs Gresham. Togo's fun when he gets to toss around his opponents (as many juniors are, really).

Togo vs Generico for PWG was great

PWG's roster consists of people under contract to other companies, it would probably complicate things greatly. Also, Excalibur has said that the idea of things being any more complicated than they presently are sounds like more trouble than it's worth. I remember during an interview he was asked about iPPV and said that even if it weren't for the contract issues, it just seems too stressful.

And if Highspots is smart, they probably have a contract with PWG re:streaming rights.

realistically what promotions could be on here without ditching their streaming service.

Probably ROH, since they only really show stuff on their website anyways, and let's be honest, their online PPV abilities are shaky. Plus, any Gabe projects like Dragon Gate USA. WWN Streaming is a thing, but I'm sure he'd be willing to simply just add his content to this channel for the right price.

ROH, TNA (I don't know what their agreement is with Fight Network for the next time Dixie shirks a debt), CMLL, AAA, AJPW, DG (could but doubt it with partial ownership being their TV network), Big Japan, Zero One, W-1, PWG (unlikely), AAW, PWX, Rev Pro, Beyond, probably a bunch of other japanese, american or european indies that I can't think of.

I'd be really excited for BJPW, Z-1 (particularly the Hashimoto years) and DG.

AAW, PWX, and Rev Pro already have deals with Highspots. Beyond has their own Roku channel, although I'm sure they could be financially enticed.

AIW, Freelance, SoCal Pro, Alpha-1, CaraLucha, DTU Extremo, Lucha Memes, Grand Slam Wrestling, High Risk Wrestling, Why We Wrestle, NWA Smokey Mountain, Tier 1 Wrestling, Why We Wrestle

and a couple more i haven't heard of

couldn't care less about Japanese promotions getting in on this because they're all easy to watch as it is but the mexican indies are super exciting possibilities, and a lot of the smaller regional usa promotions have good reputations with zero distribution

Definitely interested in the first few and the lucha stuff. I only ask about Japanese companies because I like the idea of being able to watch DDT or BJW on my Roku, I dislike watching wrestling on my computer unless it's with other people

A shame ISW and Beyond aren't on there though. Although Beyond has a Roku channel, I think.

If FloSlam gets Speedball and Josh Alexander back in the US then mission accomplished imo

DDT appears to be pushing the poo poo out of Speedball. I know it's not the same, but he won a tourney run by them for an offshoot promotion called DNA, and he got to tag with Dick Motherfucking Togo at Ryogoku Peter Pan, their biggest show of the year

Agreed. I'd be okay with the Beaver Boys still being champs too, they're fun.

I'm hoping that whatever issue is making it so SSB can't wrestle gets resolved and they can come take the belts off the Bucks

I'd be very okay with this. I think right now the correct decision if they drop the belts would be a team with no Japan commitments, as Nuy alluded to. Maybe instead of Best Friends, put 'em on Officer and a Gentleman. I'd also love to see PWG start using the Amazing Gulaks.

Steen also said that the entire time he was in DG, he felt like the stable they put him with were trying to use the language barrier to try and get him to embarrass himself, like they'd ask him to say stuff on the mic, then Steen, being wise enough to smell a setup, would ask "Oh, sure, but what does it mean in English? I wanna understand what I'm saying" and then they'd kinda hem and haw, and he'd refuse to do it, because they wouldn't really explain anything. That and how much his family means to him really explain why he didn't do Japan.

Yeah that was a real weird period (2006ish), even though Steen only did one tour. They went from no gaijin in the first two years of DG to then having tons of them, and shoving almost all of them into Muscle Outlaw'z. They definitely got a lot better since then, but you still had guys like AR Fox and Chuck Taylor who weren't fits and it stood out.

I love Chucky T but if he goes to Japan again, it's gotta be DDT.
