Rob Black has announced XPW is returning. With Marty Scurll.

So that's a choice

I'd not be stunned to see Marty turn up in Japan once the pandemic is over. Not for New Japan but he was over there & he's presumably fairly desperate at this point & so if he ended up wrestling for...Zero1 or All Japan I'd not be shocked. I'd hope CyberFight would have the sense to stay away from him at least, seeing their attempts at broadening their western audience.

I am now a big drew parker fan.

Watch the Big Japan tournament final I posted in the MOTYC thread. Drew is insane

BJW is hard to follow because stuff gets uploaded everywhere, one show will be on Twitcasting, another on NicoNico, another on LineLive, and then another on SamuraiTV.

Follow the puro thread imo, I post the schedule with links on how and where to watch stuff (except this week where my keyboard isn't working)

Has anyone with an IWTV account checked out the main event of the recent C4 show? You've got Daniel Garcia defending his title against Speedball Mike Bailey & I've seen some good things, but right now I am not subbed to their service.

Similarly, the IWTV 100 show from 8/8 with Wheeler Yuta defending the Independent Wrestling Championship sounds great going by the reviews.

Is that the IWA that used to pay people in meth or the one with the shoot job at Taco Bell?

No idea about the former but pretty sure the latter is Ian Rotten of IWA Mid South. Mid South has a hell of a legacy in among the farce where as Deep South didn't act as a platform for 2 or 3 generations of indie wrestlers, it just existed for the worst sort of death match poo poo. Like legit cutting a finger off.

Like, if you did this in a huge show with a big payoff it'd still be loving moronic, but this dude cut a finger for (I assume) $25 in front of 15 people.

The hierarchy of continental US IWAs is Mid South -> East Coast -> literally anyone else you can think of -> Deep South. Last I checked they had the Confederate battle flag in their logo because of course they did

I'm trying to watch all of Suzuki's matches from his US Tour. The only shows I can't find are WrestleMax STL VI and PWX All Hail The King, are these available anywhere to watch? I don't care if I have to pay for them or whatever (I bought all the GCW shows he was on) I just really want to watch all his matches :(

As far as I can tell the NJPW Strong matches haven't aired yet (at least I couldn't find them on NJPW World outside of the Fred Rossier match). Everything else I've seen.

PWX match is available here: https://pwxlive.com/2021-2/ but it looks like they are also available on the Highspots Network, albeit that one show hasn't been uploaded yet. But their previous show from 24/9 has been so if you are willing to wait I'd imagine it'll turn up there in the next month & Highspots Network is probably better value.

Not sure about the other mob, they have previous events on their Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsjHUJrKeCbqmU0RyqIT6ew maybe it'll show up there?

I apologise to PWG for expecting this Mystery Vortex 7 disc to turn up in several months.

Demonic Flamita has gotten jacked as hell & his back is loving gross. Still a cool wrestler though, and still very agile despite that extra mass.

Opener with Deppen & Jack Cartwheel was a totally enjoyable spotfest, the sort of match I assume was better live than on disc where suddenly I care about selling German suplex exchanges.

Show closing angle loving rules & I won't say more in the off chance you've not heard about it

I'm really not much of a US indy watcher these days (I think I average about 5 matches a year) but if you've got IWTV then the ACTION show from the 21st has a very good IWTV Independent Wrestling Title match between Alex Shelley & AC Mack. I'd probably not have watched if Shelley wasn't involved but very glad I did.

Apparently it'll be recorded and put up on Highspots afterwards. I've never watched anything via Highspots before, are they up to snuff? I like about 2/3rds of the poster, so I'm very tempted to drop some money on it, assuming the stream quality won't be hosed.

Highspots have always been good when I've used them.

No it doesn't, it doesn't take 3-6 months for their shows to come out, impossible to be the new PWG without that.
