sticklefifer posted:It's the indies thread, not the deathmatch-only thread, but OK. I get what you're saying, but the usual deathmatch fare doesn't require that kind of extensive medical care. When it's a "seriously WTF else did you think would happen" spot, it's pure Leopards Ate My Face. light tubes are “usual deathmatch fare” and one fuckin’ killed Nick Gage. why are you being so pissy about someone getting hurt?

Thanlis posted:Yeah that was pretty good. My first DEFY show, won’t be my last. not sure why Schaff decided to steal Sean Spears’ gimmick of “sit in a chair and bitch about how the audience doesn’t respect you” but, uh, ok. so glad indies are back in the Pacific Northwest; next week we’ll have DOA in Portland featuring Daniel Makabe (gently caress YES) and El Phantasmo vs Nick Wayne, a wildly talented young guy. Like… 17? I think? Either way, guaranteed flippy poo poo and it will own.

saw Blue Collar Wrestling, a local Portland indy that usually runs at an Eagles Lodge, do a show at a weird hipster music venue. it was an absolute delight. also so fun to see wrestlers who tightened up their characters or outright changed gimmicks during the break!

driving up to Everett (…basically Seattle) for this in a few days and the lineup is pretty solid. Any show with Makabe is fun, and him vs Alex Shelley should be pretty drat decent. https://twitter.com/withoutacausewa/status/1462555534310002692?s=21

Suplex Liberace posted:So jealous you get to see speedball vs bandido live and I have to wait 3-4 months to see it Worth the flight, hotel, and tickets. Incredible show marred by incredibly lovely fans. I dunno if PWG touches up and audience noise or edits stuff out but there were so many slurs and lovely comments; really hoping that stuff doesn't make it onto the DVD. I don't get how someone can scream "DEPORT SPEEDBALL" rather than standing there, mouth agape at the incredible work he and Bandido were putting on. We always talk about how Fenix defies gravity but holy hell, both of those guys are almost as unreal. Their timing on everything was on point and the world needs to see them mix it up more often. I'm tickled that I was able to make it down; super used to DEFY and that crowd, but visiting another indie territory is (almost) always incredible. Quick notes: Alex Shelley is a vicious heel who hates other people's limbs and it's perfect Daniel Garcia's junior varsity lacrosse team bully energy is *chef's kiss* in person (similar to Suzuki though, it's a "oh no" when you chat with him and he's a bubbly delight) Wheeler Yuta has a constant air of "I can't believe I'm doing this for a living oh my god yay" and it is WAY too endearing. Apparently it's a PWG tradition to drink a drink called an Adios, Motherfucker which is blue and has tequila and that may explain the crowd vibes? Maybe that's just an LA thing? Either way, it was a great show and I'm looking forward to tomorrow night.

it’s possible I was more aware of the assholes because I was right there, but- Tonight was way more chill and better vibes, maybe because I switched up where I sat and avoided the night 1 folks, but oh man. SO FUN. There was a pretty scary injury, but thankfully the wrestler was able to walk out of the ring under his own power and the booking worked around it very gracefully. Very glad I was finally able to get to a PWG show, and looking forward to whenever I can manage to make it back.

Prestige in Portland last night was a wild show; Taya Valkyrie was in a deathmatch and at the end was attacked by a masked woman who hosed her over to give Taya’s opponent the win and then unmasked to reveal that she was Athena and the place POPPED. BUSSY v Paxxx Americana was sloppy fun Malakai Black v Davey Richards owned and Brody King appeared at the end and good ol’ Filthy Tom showed up to make Alex Shelley v Dalton Castle a three-way title match. The show was at a concert venue called the Roseland (which is TRASH) but the next one is gonna be at an armory which is worse. Wrestling, y’all.

Eddie has had to cancel two shows at DEFY in Seattle already, lol if it happens again He made it to Portland though at least! The schedule DEFY has set for this year is insane, and they need more shows in Portland. driving to Seattle and back home immediately after sucks so bad. The armory they use in Portland is awful but welp. https://twitter.com/defynw/status/1498390344798547975?s=21

Jubs posted:Dang. I forgot about this. I would have said hi. first PWG was this year’s BOLA, but I used to be down here semi-regularly for work. You probably saw/heard me; gal in the front row opposite the entrance with blue/green hair. I love a show where legit every match was a “I’ll be tickled with the result either way”. A buddy I was with hadn’t been to a show since ‘18 but was a Reseda regular and wasn’t familiar with a few wrestlers but now he (correctly) is in love with Takeshita. Take’s American excursion is going to be AMAZING and it’ll be rad to see what he does and where he goes!

Thanlis posted:Hey Seattle people! I got GA tickets for this weekend’s DEFY show cause I was tired of third row sight lines. Is there any unexpected etiquette about the balcony, like regulars who have dibs on specific places or something? nah, only thing is if there’s someone shorter than you take a step back because the balconies are pretty narrow. I’ve had people complain at me for pointing that out but it ain’t new for wrestling fans to have ZERO self-awareness. thankfully the balcony “regulars” don’t get pushy about standing in a highly specific place and will scoot around sections if they want. it’ll be the first DEFY I’ll miss in a couple years but oof, driving up from Portland and immediately driving back is tiresome. I wish they’d run more shows down here but I get why they mostly stick to their home base of Washington Hall.

So it looks like Aramis is unable to do the next PWG show but they’re bringing in Titus Alexander? Young dude who is on the come-up, one to watch for sure and will be a huge talent once he develops some character work.
