why is there a fat man in a white bullsuit slipping in the ring

El Torito is different than I remember.

Also that vuvuzela is almost enough to make me stop watching this show.

it was for me

You'd think they'd send security or whoever over to tell them to shut the gently caress up because it's making things unwatchable/unlistenable but I guess that's too much to ask for from the folks who just had a fat old dude in a white, skin-tight bull outfit slowly rolling around the ring.

Finally Rich can fly without Tom Phillips holding him down

He attempts to fly in Wrestle Circus and is mostly forgettable if not annoying. Also seems to miss whatever story is being told in the match more often than not and misses the subtleties happening in a match, so he never really makes any great calls.

if I had choose between an obnoxious announcer that's constantly trying to get himself over(Gregory Irons on Black Label Pro commentary) and some largely innoffensive nerd that knows how to wikipedia and briefly interview wrestlers before the show, I'll take the latter every single time.

Yeah, I feel the same way - his voice/demeanor doesn't grind in my ears (like that loving juggalo from PWR) but he's just not memorable or technically "good" at what he does. I think he could definitely improve and be good/great, but also maybe it's the looser atmosphere of Wrestle Circus that leaves him more chilled out and not making the calls of a lifetime or whatever.

When do tickets go on sale tomorrow for ALL IN?

4pm EST. Set an alarm so we can try and score some floor seats. Never been to Chicago before so we're really looking forward to it!

I was hoping you'd be able to select seats with a seat picker but judging from other events on the venue's site, it's a crapshoot and you have to hope you get a good spot.

Finally got to the first page of checkout, but it was for $28 seats in 214. Not going to travel from Austin for nosebleeds. Going to give it another couple tries then just give up.

That's what I got on my first try at like, 3 minutes after the hour trying to get 2nd-4th row seats. Twice.

Just got through for tickets in C101 but not really looking for seats in such an awkward spot. I'd be less bummed about not being able to get good seats if it the site worked from the start, but after struggling for almost an hour and coming up with only nosebleeds and seats way off to the side I think I'm throwing in the towel.

Stoked that they were able to do this, bummed that I wasn't able to land on seats good enough to justify flying from Texas. Hopefully they figure out a plan to stream it because it'd still be fun to watch.

Yeah, gently caress that. I didn't even bother putting in for time off from work because I knew it'd be a clusterfuck. I think the best seats I was able to get were somewhere in section 110, but meh. Maybe they'll release some more tickets at some point down the road.

God drat. I wonder which way the lovely servers pushed that number - if they had been better and not been super slow/crashing, would more regular fans have been able to get tickets or more resellers?

I don't know what the gently caress PCO has been doing the last 20 years but the last thing I expected in 2018 was to be absolutely terrified of him.

they cut out most of this ceremony

sad music plays while a-ben writhes on the mat and they project a field of stars on the ring for several minutes

all the owe guys who lost to japanese and american wrestlers come out and their coach(???) screams words of disappointment and motivation at them

then he chops them, and they all take turns chopping him but he sells it like hes actually dying and it takes multiple people to hold him up from the power of their chops of respect

*then* the entire locker room comes out so the chinese akb48 affiliate sings amazing grace over slow motion clips of them training

Where can I see this weird thing?

Watched a couple of the MLW Fusion shows on Youtube today and they're alright so far. Rich is so much more tolerable as a commentator here than in Wrestle Circus, so I'm assuming him coming across so annoying to me in WC is due to him trying to fill the role of one-man commentary booth. It's kind of fun hearing Schiavone again, too.

im not gonna say the whole show is worth watching because the wrestling is all very bad but everything around the wrestling is interesting

Speaking of stinky parts of MLW, has Salina de la Renta ever done anything worthwhile? She seems like such a terrible manager. I've never seen a manager stand so still and so quiet during matches before. She really doesn't add anything for me. I get that maybe some of the lucha dudes need a mouthpiece but there have to be more dynamic choices out there.

I don't know how well Instagram and Twitter work for businesses in general since their algorithms are so hosed now, but that's the best way I was able to stay informed about Wrestle Circus shows in Austin. We have other indies in the area but their social games are weak so I never have any idea of when their shows actually are until, usually, after the fact.
