I legit wasn't sure if Colin Delaney was still wrestling, but there he is. Good for him, I suppose.

The women dropped the charges. I vaguely remember it all stemmed from a pay dispute with Teddy's escort service.

His escort service? I thought the only pussy he was hustling had four legs and a litter box.

I hate the loving fed. Business is down and you're not going to push any of these guys anyway, why spend the money on them?

Good on Chris for getting paid, but gently caress.

Something else to consider is that they have tons of TV time to fill and guys are constantly getting injured, so having new, talented guys ready to be circulated into the main rosters is a smart move.

Got to see Fred Yehi for the first time at tonight's Nova Pro show, they were trying out a new venue (bingo hall of a volunteer fire department) and the place was packed, maybe more than any previous show (other venues are the JCC and a boxing gym). Fred was good and cool, I'll have to watch more.

Veda Scott took a bad bump when Jordynne Grace tried to do an electric chair/wheelbarrow/whatever driver moves and dropped Veda too hard on her back at a bad angle. They went home immediately but the match was still very good. Veda had to be helped to the back but she was recovered enough to be at the gimmick table by the intermission, just moving gingerly.

Match of the night was Donovan Dijak vs. Sonjay Dutt, Sonjay's the local hero here and his matches are always good. Don't know if it was quite as good as Dijak vs. Gresham from a few months back but Dijak likes the promotion.

Outlook's very good for Nova Pro in 2017, they have a show already scheduled for every month through July. Next month Veda's back and they're bringing in Joey Janela.

I was there for that too, and yeah Fred Yehi is really good. Donovan Dijak kinda looks like the Walmart store-brand version of Dolph Lundgren, but he's way more agile for his size than I'd realized.

Honestly at Necro's peak, he could have been a brawler type like Luke Harper and it would have been just fine.

I would have loved to see Necro punching some WWE faces, but his legal troubles and near-constant weed smoking would have gotten him fired almost immediately.

He was an actual pro wrestler at one point, which does put him a step ahead of one of the biggest marks in the history of indy wrestling.

So does all the hype about Nick Gage in this thread mean that he doesn't absolutely suck as a wrestler anymore? I still associate him with the worst excesses of Zandig-era CZW.

If Teddy can get his poo poo together before his body gives out, he's gonna be the real deal. Clock's ticking.

He won't, and honestly he's never been good enough to justify what an rear end in a top hat he is. People should stop booking him already.

Man on woman violence doesn't disqualify you anymore, if they want you...

But Dickinson has gotten pretty flabby recently so I doubt he's planning anything.

The only upside to Dickinson getting signed is that he'd be given trunks that actually fit.

I feel like there's an amazing run for Teddy Hart in just embracing that he's a crazy person trapped in a bygone era of wrestling where he was supposed to become a superstar but sabotaged his career. And also that he's super weird about cats. Like just a hardcore lean into the "high school quarterback" thing but also with like extras from Cats walking him to the ring or something.

This would be awesome if Teddy was even the least bit self-aware.

I don't care for the influence Sami has on the East Coast. I think he's a bad faith actor for sure.

Sami is certainly a throwback to old school wrestling, in that he's an untrustworthy carny rear end in a top hat. Now I want to find that IWA-MS match where Necro Butcher knocked him out.

Plus territories ran more than once or twice a month so they had more opportunities to set up angles and build to interesting matches.
