Watching what appears to be a VHS rip of Tournament Of Death 2 on Highspots. ZANDIG's in the opener and Nate Webb made fun of his HGH gut.

What am I looking at? A guy gorilla pressing some guy over the top rope into a pole from the lighting rig?

This thing reminds me of that terrible promotion that signed wrestlers to contracts, promised a bunch of industry changing benefits and never ran a single show.

This was a good watch.

I was :stare: at DJ Hyde's story of driving home drunk from a party, finding another man with his girlfriend, throwing said man out of a three story window and fighting the cops when they showed up about why he became a wrestler. It's also adorable how he makes all the CZW dvds himself.

Wrestlecircus is going live tonight at 6 PM CST on Twitch. Sub now and get access to their exclusive HHH/Bullet Club emotes. :laugh:

I think it's actually pretty cool to be able to stream a show on twitch.

I was laughing more at the fact they have HHH and Bullet Club emotes. It's cool they're trying Twitch out but I can't see it ever becoming sustainable.

Pro wrestling is niche and Twitch is a niche platform. The first match is starting and there's 2500 people watching. That's an amazing number for a first time live broadcast. If it got to the point where they could reliably pull in 2000-3000 people with each live event, that'd be a runaway success. But even if 50% of that audience turned into subscribers, that's only $4500 a month.

There's no real ad money, donations during a live show are being given to the wrestlers and viewership is under 100 when they're showing VOD/the owner is playing PS4.

Couldn't any promotion run on twitch? I thought it was like a youtube model where anyone could put their stuff up.

Anybody can stream on Twitch but only a small percentage get partnered. Partnered streamers get a subscription button.

I have my problems with WC but I can understand flight delays(if you were there in person I'm sure it blew having to piss 2 blocks away), I used my free sub on them because it seemed like the easiest way to get another promotion's shows for free, since I can't stand to watch people play video games.

A little off-topic but there's some decent 'non-people playing video games' things on Twitch. Somebody mentioned Mega64 and they broadcast their podcast live, former goon Kevin Pereira brought back Attack Of The Show Attack and there's some cool travel streams where people wander around various parts of Asia (EXBC, awkwards_travel, Andy Milonakis)

from this i've learned that there is a Taiwan wrestling promotion on Twitch as well?!

Apparently the entire event is on VOD

Makes me wonder if Twitch is actually giving these promotions some cash since both Wrestlecircus and this promotion NTW had a Twitch logo on their apron.

Virgil doing a Canadian Destroyer



It's impressive how the only thing Virgil does is lock his arms so the guy doesn't drop him.

I had no idea that anybody was running in this area besides NXT.
