GCW hasnt had a deathmatch in a while lol theyre def moving away from that.

Still good shows tho.

yes and no, there are still no rules and weapons/blood in most matches. the roster has gotten more diverse, but that's just overflow from the one shots really. sgc is still destroying doors, and loving los mascizos are still tag champs, and headlined both nights this last weekend. bigger company also means new venues, many of which say no to glass. it's not jwm and the bulldozer bell to bell, but sawyer still used tacks, skewers and chairs on donnie primerib this weekend

Decided to buy a ticket to the Toronto GCW show in March on a whim. Never been to one of their shows so I’m a little curious what to expect.

they are blast, but don't be a dork and sit on your thumbs. get loud, get involved. also if you see tony deppen, tell him he sucks eggs, he fuckin hates that

I forgot to post that DPW Live was Live last night and it was real good, still the superindy.

it's funny that you say this, because i went to their doubleshot in north carolina a few weeks ago and it was exceptionally mid. the roster is pretty good, but barring the two recent nxt departures, you can see all of that talent elsewhere in front of a less perpetually online crowd (they chant memes ffs) and in probably better matchups. feels very much the same to me as wrestling revolver or any other tna-lite indie

All wrestling chants are memes

i dont disagree, but ill take the tropes of wrestling chants over chants literal memes from the internet every day of the week. also, don't bother getting good seats, they don't reserve them and it's just a free for all

I miss legion hall pwg so much. :(

the legion hall was my original indie venue, i went to a decade of pwg, including the likely last show. i love that vibe, but that's not whats up at a dpw show, i promise. the gcw vibe is much more like a east coast pwg crowd to me, and in la, it;s all the same fuckin people anyway lol. the ringside barriers make that kind of vibe much less likely. pwg was rear end in a top hat to elbow and full contact, dpw shows are three rows spread out in the middle of a much larger room, completely different vibe.

i didnt dislike the shows, but they didn't give me any reason to come back. i will waste a lot of time and money on a fun wrestling trip and the dpw shows just didnt have it for me

i completely understand if you only watch online and never actually go to a show tho. i like live wrestling too much to do that, but i get not caring if it's just a stream. and ill give it to dpw, their shows look a lot better on stream

Can we get an example of a meme chant? I want to decide if it's more annoying than "both these guys"

i dont remember them all, but i recall "this poo poo fucks" being a constant, and it was awful. a lovely throwaway joke from a show that ended a decade ago ain't it. there were a bunch more, but tbh, i probably just look like a grumpy prick at this point. i go to, on average, one indie show a week, and have attended pretty much every company you can think of; i promise i love indie wrestling, just not dpw yet

i was there last night, it was really loving weird. it was hot as gently caress and yeah the venue is no glass/limited blood, etc and after the first match someone squealed to the owner. justice was told he couldn't even jump off the modest balcony.

tbh, dillinger and doc had the best match, made the most of restrictions and dillinger was a last minute change.

i hope it was the last show under dannys leadership, he's just not any fuckin good at being a business man

i live in louisville and in the kentuckiana indie community we all know that if john wayne murdoch bails, things are dire

also it's worth noting that while danny insists the reason they couldn't run the berwyn eagles is because the owner says their insurance won't cover it any longer, what he's leaving out is that the insurance wouldn't cover the damage his company did, and that rpw still runs there
