Every local indie here has turned out to be a scumfuck, but that consistently leads to them shutting down.

Effy will forever be the 51st State Champion, and I'm fine with that.

I went to the first Butch vs. Gore in DC and it was a blast. Hopefully this venue has more than one bathroom! (People were fuckin' in the bathroom.) Got to see Effy vs. Faye Jackson.

Live wrestling is fun even when you don’t know who anyone is. They’re typically good at making it clear who the babyfaces and heels are, and you get to see people do cool poo poo.

Trish Adora signed with ROH, was hoping she’d make it to AEW but maybe in a few years

I'd love to see her on AEW, but ROH is a step up, and she definitely deserves a bigger stage.

F1ght Club Pro Wrestling (home of the Pan-Afrikan World Diaspora Championship) has announced a show for February at DC Brau Brewery, former home of Primetime Pro. The former Primetime Pro co-promoter is promising big things and everyone from that scene seems hyped.

Yeah but you only need to make one fake card per person, while you can continually sell fake tests since they need them for every show. This is why he's a billionaire and you're a shlub posting on the something is aweful forums

this is extremely indie but for anyone in the greater dc/maryland area, flying v (based in silver spring) is doing a combination show with a performance art competition group on december 3rd. i mostly bring it up because i will be on the show as part of the art thing and i think that's just neat as heck. also we got bryce somehow?? wild

I'm going, OP

Can't wait to see Referee Bryce Remsburg

edit: Unless Coward Tony decides to run another DC show, in which case I will probably get sick and be unable to go, since that seems to happen every fuckin' time AEW comes around here.

Rules like this killed indie wrestling in DC. Also I'm told it's not actually new?

E: They're just letting promotions who don't normally run in PA be aware of the rules if they come for WM weekend next year. But yeah, a bunch will be across the river.

hello indie goons, here is a thing that is happening in a couple weeks for anyone in the DC area:

https://twitter.com/FlyingVTheatre/status/1729962516761972931

this is the second time super art fight (a wrestling-esque drawing competition) and flying v (a local indie in silver spring, md) have teamed up for an event, this time it's a two-night deal with art fights on night one and pro wrestling on night two

https://twitter.com/SuperArtFight/status/1736916353821339823

here is the night one main event where two artists (including my dumb rear end) team up with two real actual pro wrestlers in a drawing competition. insane that this is happening lol

if you've got time to kill on january 26-27 come check it out ok!! thank you god bless

Y'all should go to this. They're both fun shows.

As long as that jerk Stevie Speed isn't involved. He stinks!

Makes sense. The UK and Seattle are basically right on top of each other. This will allow them to leverage their combined resources for bigger, better shows

Speaking of Indie Crowds; I think Enjoy has one of the better one's because a lot of the people there are there for the spectacle of it and aren't like going to watch mainstream wrestling week to week. Or as my friend who I've gotten to go to the shows eloquently said to me "To be honest I'm not really here for the wrestling, but the Lesbian violence and hot trans people in the ring/the crowd". The crowd doesn't really do the usual meme chants you see at indie shows. The Odyssey was a great show, sure the wrestling can be clunky when it's more the locals, but I was happy to see a bunch of the wrestlers who are trainees at MV Young's school get their first big shine. It does suck things got derailed for the plans for the tag titles because Gummiboar lost their booking due to abuse allegations with Erica Leigh and Killian McMurphy accusing each other which again sucks (and seems very much a "you two seem to be really toxic to one another" situation). Lee Moriarty and Mikey Montgomery had a killer match, wish I was able to see it better but had to be in the back in a chair due to recovering from Orchiectomy still.

Some pics from it

Excited May 5th they got a free show for Cinco De Mayo at the South Side Works (Tacomania)

And REALLY excited for June 16th for Immaculate where they are doing it at Stage AE which honestly is make or break for them since that venue is where ROH/NXT would run shows.

Sorry, what allegations? I definitely missed this! They're both mainstays at one of my local indies, so that's a real bummer to hear.
