Meanwhile in Uganda, they're putting the Wakaliwood spirit into backyard wrestling. They honestly look crisper than most Performance Center grads.

https://youtu.be/t7DzjwAiLOE?si=BQjUDLQVglzeEf6-

They're currently doing a GoFundMe for a real ring. Will Ospreay pitched in and so have I. https://www.gofundme.com/f/save-softground-uganda-wrestling

Equal odds on the second one being an technology accident given the guy involved

Does anyone know if the GoFundMe is legit? I'm just highly skeptical of anyone trying to raise money because of a viral video half the world away.

I hope for the best, but there isn't anything in the site that gives me confidence the money will make it there and get a ring built.

the amount they're asking for is legitimate for a good ring but i don't know how to vet anything else. it's wild that a lovely backyard ring is like $2,500 minimum. maybe they should have gone for something like that but i don't blame em. shoot for da moon

e: i'm sure all the wrestlers who donated are personally aware of what's up with it

MLW is doing Mistico vs Rocky Romero except they are doing it as part of their dumb fake Lucha Underground storyline, so if you click the tweet it's a full essay on the backstory. Very MLW.

https://twitter.com/MLW/status/1755337450195419255

THIS IS A TWEET:

quote:

Místico vs. Rocky Romero title fight signed for NYC Feb 29

MLW today announced a MLW World Middleweight Title Fight: Rocky Romero (champion, presented by Salina de la Renta) vs. Místico (with Cesar Duran) at MLW Intimidation Games’24 live and exclusively on @FiteTV
+ Thursday, February 29 at the Melrose Ballroom in New York City.

🎟 Grab tickets at http://mlwnyc.com and at Eventbrite.

See the iconic luchador fight for gold live and exclusively on Triller TV+! Sign up for your Triller TV+ subscription now and enjoy a FREE 7-day trial!

El Jefe is back! The proprietor of AZTECA Lucha, Cesar Duran, has returned to MLW with a big acquisition: Místico.

After an extraordinary lucha espectacular where Místico defeated @SalinadelaRenta
’s luchador Averno at MLW SuperFight 4, Duran has secured his first title fight for Azteca Lucha. Mistico will challenge Rocky Romero for the MLW World Middleweight Championship live in New York City at Intimidation Games.

Duran shocked the lucha world by returning to MLW this past Saturday where he confronted Salina de la Renta at SuperFight 4. He delivered the biggest box office draw in Mexico, one of Mexico’s grandest luchadores: Místico.

A perennial main eventer in @CMLL_OFICIAL
, Místico has won countless titles and become a crossover star, appearing in several TV shows and music videos in Mexico. Now, Místico, under the AZTECA Lucha banner, circles one of Salina de la Renta’s most prized possessions: the MLW World Middleweight Title.

Duran and Salina have a mysterious past tied to lucha, power, and money. In 2021 it was revealed that Salina had made a “powerful enemy” as she borrowed money to keep Promociones Dorado thriving… and it came at a cost. The cost of doing business with the ruthless proprietor of AZTECA Lucha, Cesar Duran.

After failing Duran, “El Jefe” had his masked Azteca thugs drag Salina off. Seemingly gone from MLW forever, the Puerto Rican powerbroker would turn heads reemerging with a vengeance this past September. Ironically, this would come just weeks after Cesar Duran himself was dragged off, seemingly vanishing.

Now engulfed in a promotional lucha war between AZTECA Lucha and Promociones Dorado, the #MLW World Middleweight title hangs in the balance.

Romero, who has dominated the 205 lb. division since winning the title from AKIRA in the fall, looks to crush arguably his greatest challenge yet. Will the wily Romero triumph once again or surrender to La Mistica?

Lock in your tickets now at http://mlwnyc.com and see it go down Thursday, February 29 in #NYC.

I was always bummed Salina de la Renta never got out of MLW. I thought she made a pretty good manager at times, though mostly in backstage stuff and less with in-ring promos.

Yeah, they did Cruiserweight Classic qualifiers along with EVOLVE and then their creative team all went to work for NXT UK before SpeakingOut. It's ostensibly independent now, but is a shambling corpse of its former self.

Before it turned out that 75% of their roster was made up of terrible people and they sold out, PROGRESS was my jam. I loved them from the moment I saw Ringkampf and Pete Dunne. It was one of the companies that brought me back to pro wrestling after one of my hiatuses and something that eventually lead me into training myself.

Shame about, well, gestures at all that.

They had some really cool poo poo, barely any of which I can comfortably watch again. The world title picture is particularly cursed. Loads of long reigns with loads of matches from... El Ligero, Jimmy Havoc, Marty Scurll, and Travis Banks.

God it sucks so much. It was where I first saw Matt Riddle, and Jack Sexsmith was huge for me too. I was happily subbed to their network for a while, and had big dreams of wrestling for them when I first started. A real who's-who of awful people who should gently caress off, and even now I just don't feel good about watching the product. I'll never forget how absolutely thrilling it was checking out my first show and watching Ringkampf vs. The London Riots just in awe.

Ah well, plenty of other wrestling out there. Best to leave the past in the past.

I took my 30th birthday to fly out to the UK and see as many BritWres shows as I could in a week. The only one of those cards that wasn't loaded with sex criminals was the Attack show that had Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis's first match on it.
